Well, that killed my interest before the show began.

Seconded.

I'm waiting for the first post here that says "Wow...why couldn't they copy the success of Match Game 98, and instead gave us this crap?"

"Hilary Clinton is a ______" and the top answer was that term that's used for a female dog.[/quote]
Huh. I'd have gone with the one that rhymes with "hunt."

I actually went to high school with a guy named Mike Hunt. He never heard the end of it.

Take this as you will, but a "reporter" (and I use that term loosely) from Hollywood Junket who attended the pilot taping said that one of the Super Match questions was : "Hilary Clinton is a ______" and the top answer was that term that's used for a female dog.[/quote]
Game over. Go to black. Stop tape. Kill the lights. Your checks will be in the mail. Time to break out the reruns of Wally Bruner's What's My Line?

I KNEW this version was headed for the toilet, I just knew it. There is really no point in going forward with material like that.

I'm sure.

(Don't know any myself, but I can imagine.)

I just wanted to point out that, after watching the video, the lady (who seems kind of mixed up with some things) describing the game seemed to generalize the questions, because in addition to the Hilary question, she also noted a "Tom Cruise is a _____" question. I can only assume (not to mention hope) she's just generalizing some of the main game questions, because I can't see every Super Match being like that. I wouldn't get too worried... yet.

Kind of mixed up is an understatement. However, she clearly stated the top answer (regardless of how the question is worded) in the Super Match was B***H, that was one thing she was pretty sure of. She also mentions the other Audience Match being "____ & M" and stated "the first thing that came to my mind was S" and I believe she said that a celeb said that too.

I would consider "___ & M" to be borderline--at least it has several interesting answers. (Okay, just three that I can think of.) But the other . . . yuck.

I can think of three if you're counting S:
M
A (though I'm less sure of that one)

A (though I'm less sure of that one)[/quote]
A&M is a record label, as well as the term used to describe traditionally agricultural land-grant universities (notably Texas A&M).  I'm old enough (and Southern enough) to remember L&M cigarettes, which I note after a little checking are still around.  Still, neither are likely to jump to mind.  Am I missing an obvious third?

[Jimmy Owen]

Rapper EM &M?  

Questions that call for opinions (especially political ones) in Super Match aren't going to work.  Hopefully they'll rectify that before the series starts.

Don't know if it's an obvious third, but H&M (the clothing store) comes to mind as well.

ETA:  Too many minds think alike.

[inturnaround]

B&M...Brick and Mortar (as in physical, not internet, stores)
H&M...the clothing retailer from Sweden

[cheersgifoltc]

How about clothing store H&M?

[Jimmy Owen]

H&M was what popped into my mind first.  It's a clothing store.

I recall both A&M's; I just wasn't sure that either was familiar enough to make the top three. I remember L&M as well, but I'd think A&M is more likely to be one of the top three.

Someone who's still in New England, please refresh my memory: Is/Was there a brand of baked beans named B&M?
