Weekly is probably good idea.  And if you thought the Match Game panel had a drink or two before rolling tape, imagine what this group will be like...

Consider me extremely disappointed. I thought we were done with this sort of sophomoric humor, but you guys just had to cokes...er....coax one more into existence.

I didn't think a competent Match Game revival could be done, but this summer proved me wrong. Let's see if I can get hooked on this one.

ABC has a good thing going reviving old game shows. Let's hope they don't blow it with this one.

High hopes abound I'm sure.

Serious question for a minute: Match Game added just the right amount of kitsch, while modernizing the show. Past Gong revivals all modernized themselves, but tried to be a little too zany, IMO*. Does a 2010s version work using the kitschiness Chuckie Baby gave us, or will ABC find itself behind the 8-ball trying to get a hit?

/*I seem to remember enjoying the Dave Attell version from a few years ago

It toke me all day to come up with one (didn't help that the heat today made me feel baked), but then I got the munchies and forgot.
