Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Nice interview, but Ira didn't direct the CBS version of MG.

Sounds like a poor choice of words to me...the sentence in question only implies that Skutch directed the CBS version (quick reminder: Mr. Clementson and Mr. Lemon are correct; Skutch only directed the NBC version.  He \"merely\" produced the CBS version).  Doesn't make the interview any less of an entertaining read, though.

Why is it so hard to find anything on his site?  On the front page he writes:

\"As part of the GSN celebration, the director of the 1960s version of The Match Game and the producer (and occasional director) of the CBS remake, Ira Skutch, reminisces about both versions of the series in an exclusive interview with TVgameshows.net.\"

But a link to the interview is nowhere to be found.

Probably so, but the fact remains the front page of the site could be a lot more user-friendly.  Maybe he could get some of those Bob-Hope-ignorant students of his to redesign the site for him.
