    Very entertaining

    In terms of the format, a very clever game where titles of songs relate to famous people, places, or whatever. The Mystery Face round was also a great bonus game where you see a celeb's baby picture and see that face become more familiar.

    Production values, however, were laughably shoddy. This doesn't take away from the fact that it's still very entertaining. Tommy Oliver's band didn't always play in tune, or they'd make occasional mistakes. This fact was not overlooked by Ron Ely, whom would tease the band mercilessly. The lights on the set either weren't working, or flashed out of sync. Lisa Donovan, also, made occasional mistakes singing, and this was also left in the show. Lisa also modeled the new car, and once, couldn't get in the car because it was LOCKED! Ron Ely made for a very entertaining host. Sometimes he would get overly enthusiastic, bellowing YOU ARE RIGHT at odd moments. However, he would get better as the series progressed.

    Great Show

    Face The Music is a musical game show from Sandy Frank Productions which they also bring the 1984 version of $100,000 Name That Tune.

    Ron Ely from Tarzan was a great host and also Lisa Donovan who sings the songs with Tommy Oliver conducting the orchestra. I like that piano player in the orchestra who had a afro-style hair. It used to come on The Family Channel (Now ABC Family and my cable company dumped that channel in favor of Food Network in 2002) in 1995.

    Great show.

    I've give it 10 out of 10.

    Fun game show

    I used to watch this show when I was growing up. When I think about it, I remember it pretty well. If you ask me, it was a good show. It was also fun to play along and watch, too. In addition to that, everyone was ideally chosen to fill each part of the show. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances of Lisa and the band were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
