Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
BlackJack_B I am a big fan of Match Game from the 1970's. I watched the show as a kid from 1975-1982, watched reruns on The Game Show Network or whatever it's now called and YT is full of episodes and classic moments. It is tough for a reboot to match (no pun intended) the classic Match Game hosted by Gene Rayburn and this one just doesn't make the grade.I watched episodes from both the summer of 2016 and the new episodes being aired in 2017.I actually think Alec Baldwin is a great host for the show. I'm no fan of the guy but he fits in perfectly with his sleazy, douche-y persona and he pays homage to Gene by using a microphone like the one Mr. Rayburn built for the show. I have zero issues with him.I do have some issues with some of the panelists they bring in. Some of them look like they drank a case of Red Bull before coming in for the taping. Niecy Nash overplays the sassy black woman to the hilt that it becomes annoying. Mario Cantone is your typical unfunny stock flaming queen who is no Charles Nelson Reilly. I'd rather have a guy who only implies he's gay than somebody who is loud and proud such as Cantone. Some panelists even have contempt for the contestants and gave purposely wrong answers.The contestants can be annoyances as well. They love bringing in brainwashed female religious fanatics from Jesusland or other stereotypical flaming queens with the big flashy smile and the limp- wristed clapping.The blanks are typically about sex or politics and people in the summer got their panties in a bunch when Donald Trump was the topic and you had Alec Baldwin (who is known for his portrayal of him on Saturday Night Live) and Rosie O'Donnell (who hates Trump) taking shots at him. Are people not aware that Mr. Trump isn't exactly a normal human being?Way too often in the Head-to-Head Match, the other panelists stick their noses where they don't belong. Could you imagine if the late, great Richard Dawson had every other panelist in his face every time he was picked?It's an OK show but the more you watch it, the less you like it. Hopefully, Neil DeGrasse Tyson appears again as he was great in his one appearance.
lowellh617 All in all the show is good...BUT.....what I don't like is how political the very first episode was when I recently watched it. Both Rosie O'Donnell and Alec Baldwin were there to do a job...which was to entertain and help the guests win money, and NOT to sit there and use the ABC network as their own personal political soapbox. This is a GAME SHOW people..it is supposed to be fun and exciting to watch and NOT filled with the PERSONAL political views or jabs by the celebrities. As a result, I now absolutely REFUSE to watch this show and honestly feel as though Alec Baldwin should be replaced as host and Rosie O'Donnell should never be asked to be on the show again. This REALLLLY turned me off to the point where I cannot give the show a review because I felt as though I couldn't watch it then and will not continue to watch it in the future. ABC, you REALLLLY messed up big time with this one and this is most likely the reason that your reviews are not as good as you had hoped they would be. I am HIGHLY disappointed in the show and the network and the two celebrities who used this show as their own personal political event to try and shove their political opinions down other peoples throats. My support and respect for both Alec Baldwin and Rosie O'Donnell have now been flushed down the can......and hopefully their careers have too.
vranger The original was lots of fun, with mostly clever jokes steering occasionally into naughty territory.This version is just loud, obnoxious, and crude. Sad, because I was looking forward to a Match Game revival. Until the saw the show, I thought maybe Baldwin could pull it off.He can't.The celebrities don't really seem to be trying to find answers that will match the contestants. If they can't even get into the spirit of the game, why bother?Just avoid this mess.
capturedonmaui I was excited that this game show was revived as it was a good memory I had watching with my grandparents. I love Alec Baldwin so that was a bonus. So disappointed in the show. Alec was uncomfortable to watch as a game show host. He would be better as a guest where he can be more himself. Then seeing Rosie as a guest, I knew it would be downhill. The questions we ridiculous ...then the turn off was getting political and throwing in the Trump question. If you want to keep viewers, leave out the political questions unless it's even and not bias...and at least funny. My suggestion is to have Alec As a guest, have Wayne Brady host, and never have Rosie back.
