On December 31, 1962, "The Match Game" had its humble beginnings at 4pm on NBC.

In this week's Woman's World, of all places, it mentions this anniversary, and also confirms that the version TBS piloted earlier this year is currently being developed further in preparation for its premiere in 2009.

You might say that many a game show fan was celebrating New Year's Eve early!

Nope . I wouldn't say that at all. And I'm a game show fan.

Here's a tip - maybe you should try the men's room.
