A regular slot would be great. I know I'm in the minority here but (most likely stemming from the fact that I couldn't watch it during its original run) MG90 was a favorite.


I enjoyed it then and I still enjoy it. I think, when it comes down to the format, that’s the best attempt that was made. Sure, the original 7x format works well too, but the addition of Match Up was a good touch.

Agreed, it's good to see these again. I thought Ross eventually grew into his hosting role and did a good job.

Watching the first week of MG '90, and it's interesting to me that after two episodes and a taping break, they tweaked the tiebreaker into something more workable and repositioned the first break of the episode. It speaks to me of someone with a careful eye noting what could work better.

I like the idea of splitting the pie like they did but there’s too much host language to keep up the suspense.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

On MG 90, it's so easy to cheat on Match - Up. Just keep picking either the first or last choice over and over. Eventually the celebrity will pick that up and do it too! Another reason why Match-up was such a bad idea.

I wish they would have explained that more, since I thought the same thing until someone pointed this out a few weeks ago.
