Match Game

The very first episode of the new Match Game 2016 and the panelists are lackluster and/or marginally recognizable as famous.

Rosie O'Donnell was unable to keep her political views to herself and turned entertainment into soap boxing. Who gives a damn what she thinks about any of the presidential candidates? That's not what this show is supposedly about. She had her chance to whine on The View. Now, she's trying to torpedo another show with her vitriol.

I loved the original Match Game from the Seventies. This isn't on par.

I thought Alec Baldwin was pretty good, but even so, he just makes me realize how much fun Gene Rayburn really was, back in the day.

I won't be tuning in to future broadcasts.

Below average junior high school boys must be writing the ridiculous questions on this modern lowbrow version of Matchgame. It's painful to watch Alec Baldwin, through no fault of his own, struggling to explain the stupid questions to the guest celebrities. I'll take reruns of the classic version any day over this tripe.

The original was lots of fun, with mostly clever jokes steering occasionally into naughty territory.

This version is just loud, obnoxious, and crude. Sad, because I was looking forward to a Match Game revival. Until I saw the show, I thought maybe Baldwin could pull it off.

He can't.

The celebrities don't really seem to be trying to find answers that will match the contestants. If they can't even get into the spirit of the game, why bother?

Just avoid this mess.

Will not be watching with Baldwin as host!

What are you thinking?

Sorry casting with O'Donnell! Really won't be watching!!!!

Sad though, really liked the old ones so I will continue watching all the old ones, it's unfortunate.

Someone had a bright idea bringing it back.

Someone on casting totally dropped the ball.

It's probably fine though because it can never be as good as the old original ones. I watch them because stuff they got away with then is funny and unbelievable for the times we are in now. How far we have come and not for the good.

How can you even put Baldwin on tv? He murdered someone. Accident or not, his hosting will be too much to bare with the guilt he should be carrying. I guess you move on after time but this is too much in your face that he gets to have this job after what he did.

One of the worst piles of manure on TV. Typical of today's remakes and hosted by a horrible, unfunny, classless loser. A panel of no-names making unfunny, rude, vulgar, political and just low-brow jokes. This follows basically all other TV game show remakes of the modern era. A truly sad commentary on society, comedy and the culture today. Poor Gene Rayburn and his wonderful cast of comedians must be spinning in their graves.
