- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- As we approach a new year in 2014, I have made a special video packaging together all six of the sign changes from the 1970s version of the Match Game, where in some of the versions Auld Lang Syne is heard.
I'm so glad I found this little video. What a gem!
True fans will appreciate this. History.
So sad to think how many of them are gone now. Thanks for the good times and laughs.
Betty is still with us in 2021!!
Edit: she didn't make it to 2022. R.I.P. sweet lady.
I first discovered the '70s version of match Game back in 1999. I was home sick from middle school and decided to flick through the television and my mom's room and discovered game show network. Fast forward to 2023. I still watch that show and other '70s game shows religiously. I am now 35
Match game was always special to me I’m 33 and watched reruns with my dad and I still watch it and love it to this day
Now your 36
How ironic that at 8:18 Mark Goodson says "I might need a new MC." For Match Game 99 8:00
Gene Rayburn died: November 29, 1999.
Seeing all those sign changes, just like revisiting old friends. Thanks for the memories.
I loved watching Match Game in the 1970s. What a great video. Thank you.
Ironically, after a new all purpose sign with detachable digits was created, there was very little opportunity to keep changing it in the future. This new sign's appendages were limited to '78, '79, and PM. After CBS Daytime cancelled Match Game '79, it continued in syndication until 1982 simply titled Match Game.
Nice to see that Mark Goodson got to come on set to join in on the fun with that one question
If The doctor tells me I only have 14:03 left to live....
I would watch this video in its entirety. 😊
I lived for those changes for new years'. I was 8 in 1974!! I just loved them!! Thanx for posting!

I remember seeing a rerun of the '78 to '79 episode as a little kid in the early 2000s.
Wouldn't be a Match Game sign change without Charles, i admit.
"I might end two careers right here, is what I'm gonna do AHHHHHHHH" (balloon pops)
That was funny!
@@danwicht402 1973-1979
I remember the time Mark Goodson called me into his office to tell me there's something new coming called "Syndication. Our game shows will be aired again at different times, maybe even different years, so going forward DO NOT use dates on any of the Match Game questions. And we will no longer call the show Match Game + the year." Hmmm, seems he was right.
There were a lot of logos and six sign changes, when Gene Rayburn hosted Match Game during its six year run from 1973 to 1979 on CBS. And the flashing 78 79 and pm from the new Match Game logo came later, but Match Game went into first run syndication from 1979 to 1982, while Match Game PM continued until 1981. Match Game returned to the air on ABC in 1990 when Ross Shafer took over as the star of Match Game, without a year in its title, and its New Year's Eve episode from 1990 needs to be uploaded. FremantleMedia now owns rights to the Match Game series.
Off topic, but the Halloween episode of the 1990's Match Game hosted by Ross Shafer is on You Tube.
@@NelsonVlog66 You're right on Kevin Nelson, and as you're off topic the 1990 New Year's Eve episode of the 1990's Match Game has already been uploaded on UA-cam, as well as the Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve episodes as well.
@@NelsonVlog66 I'm happy for you to hear about it as you were off topic on the Halloween episode of Match Game and is on UA-cam, and it will be aired on BUZZR this month, and BUZZR has not yet aired the entire 1990-91 run yet as in their contract and now the good news, the 1990 New Year's Eve episode of Match Game starring Ross Shafer has now been uploaded for viewing on UA-cam. Thank you!
As a very little kid watching this I didn't understand what they were doing and why they didn't do this every day.
Magic of show biz?
More like the magic of friendship.
They sure did have a lot of fun.
i don't remember the others, but I do remember 'watching 76 with charles and his balloons when it originally aired.....hilarious
Watching this to ring in 2022. Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊 🥳
@ 2:43 the tv's poet laureate is at it again
sometimes I wish it was 1975 again
That was Jr. High. As much as loved game shows in general and Match Game in particular, I would never go back there. :)
1975, I was in elementary, grade 5 and 6
Glenn Marshall Me too. Sometimes I get sad watching these. What a good time the 70s were.
That would be Good 😌 I wasn’t born yet lol
I loved watching the year changes. Unfortunately I only got to see the first few. They didn’t show the game shows in Puerto Rico.
7:41 the creepy thing about that whole question and Mark's comment after having Gene read that question is that had MG continued like that to 99 they would have needed a new MC because thats the year Gene Rayburn left this world
+lojosol Unfortunately too.
How creepy that turned out. Gene died on 11/29/79!
No he didn't.
lojosol ,
The Tazzman He died in 1999.
13:50 - "A Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Production."
13:55 - "This is CBS."
I notice 79 was shortest and more subdued after Richard was fired from the show...
For the record, Richard was not fired. He walked away. They wouldn't have fired him. He was doing Family Feud at the time, which was also a Goodson & Todman show.
It seemed to me to be rather joyous. The other regulars hated Richard, at least by the end of his tenure. See the Match Game documentary, wherein Brett Somers says that whenever Dawson got an answer on the final match wrong, the upstairs tier regulars would be silently clapping underneath their desks. Dawson himself was subdued in the last celebration; he was doing a work-to-rule campaign to be let out of his contract and off the show. There is an interview on UA-cam where Gene Rayburn says he confronted Dawson and asked him whether he (Dawson) was trying to ruin the show, and asks the interviewer if they couldn't talk about something more pleasant than Dawson.
I remember the change to 76. Charles was hilarious!
Would've been nice to show the transition from the 78 logo 1 to 78 logo 2 seeing 78 was the year of the set redesign.
Just to celebrate a very happy 2020 to all these game show fans!!!
8:02 I'll Need A New Blank
sign
That was a nice compilation.
Charles is *so* toasted during the 75/76 clip.
+smittykins Probably the Friday episode, lol
He was always toasted, just like Paul Lynde over on Hollywood Squares.
@ParaWarnerViacom-20 He was SO toasted, at Midnight New Years Day he gave Brett a _[blank]._
If you ever have a chance read one of Fannie Flagg's books you won't regret it.
Several of her books cover multiple decades, including the 1970s. I think it would have been neat if she'd made reference to one of the characters watching Match Game....
They should've gotten the Electric Company celebration theme playing out.
Charles Nelson Riley is so funny!
As a tribute to late host Gene Rayburn, here's a montage of all sign changes in the CBS version of Match Game from 1973 to 1979 during a special New Year's episode. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Happy 1974 everybody
LOL they did the 1977-78 one three days late
3:34 Nipsey “I want my money!” 😂😂
3:33
7:32
Gene grabbing Betty’s behind at the end. 😮
The Goody-Toddy bird part is missing.
I wonder why they waited until the start of the first 1978 episode before making the change from 77 to 78, rather than at the end of the last 1977 episode.
Also, if I heard right, one of the reasons for the set change was to replace the signs with one where you just needed to change the year rather than replacing the whole thing...so, of course, they only changed the year on the sign once.
During much of the run of MG, it was not a Monday-Friday run. Because of various network interruptions such as the Watergate hearings, or holiday specials, etc., they decided to just tape 5 episodes at a time and let them air whatever day, as long as they played in order. Apparently, something preempted MG on a day when it was too late to do anything about the New Year's Eve show. Hope this makes sense.
I wonder what version of Auld Lang Syne Match Game used for the sign changes?
My favorite part
How come they don't do these sign changes and New Year's Day balloon drops in the 2016- version?
Wiggle Worm It's not really a weekly show...
I kinda wish they wound do that, though.
Plus, that version just have episodes during the summer.
Man my fox affiliate did air final minutes of match game it was sign change.
my god, they use a lot of balloons, hehehh
Awesome
What's the song they played at the end
What happened to 1980, PM, 1981 and 1982??
They just called it Match Game then. Stopped adding the year.
When it went syndicated in Fall 1979, it was just simply called "Match Game", although the nighttime version was still called "Match Game PM" until the end of its run in 1981.
Why did Match Game suffix the year, anyway?
In 1980 when it went into syndication.
They probably did it to differentiate it from the original 1960's Match Game, instead of calling it The New Match Game. Similarly, Password Plus was originally going to be called Password '79.
What Fernando said.
@@66kprdwdFall 1979, actually.
It seems like Mark Goodson loved to visit his(and Bill Todman's)"babies". Is it true that these two men had a troubled business relationship?
I have heard that is true. But Todman was the man with the brain for making money and expanded G & T into other areas, such as the newspapaer and real estate business and madea bundle for them. Eventually, in the 80's I believe, after Todman's death, Goodson bought out Todman's heirs.
@@musicmikey2 Correct. He did do a buy out to the family estate. And all rights to the format of Match Game. That was at the time a very big deal for Mark. A lot of monies changed bank accounts.
I think that happened in 1982. They kept Bill Todman's name until then (mostly). Family Feud was the first existing show to drop Mr. Todman's name. The Price is Right and Tattletales (1982-1984) were the last ones to drop it, both in 1984 (Tattletales was nearing the end of its second run on CBS at that time and was replaced by Body Language). Child's Play, which debuted in the Fall of 1982, was the first show to use the new Mark Goodson Production logo (though the pilot episode used the original MG/BT logo).
Fun times.
Too bad Gene thank everybody for making the show #1 except the people who watched the show!!!
Was there a Match Game 80?
Michael Parker There was a Match Game in 1980, I believe, but it was syndication-exclusive. Even before then, only the daytime version would have the year in the title. Before the numbered daytime version ended in 1979, the syndicated version was suffixed "PM". After that point, the "PM" was dropped and it became simply, "Match Game".
They actually kept the "PM" suffix until the end of that version's run in 1981.
Coronary! Medic!
Mark Goodson appeared
I think Brett Somers Is Drunk
