So Disappointed


I was so excited about Match Game. I have watched it a few times now and last night was the last straw. The original series was funny and fun with a hint of naughty tossed in from time to time. This program seems to be set on making this show as nasty and offensive as they possibly can. And why do we need to have a GAME SHOW turned into a political bashing? I realize The Hollywood crowd is extremely liberal but I get enough of their biased BS from the main stream media. Are they so DESPERATE that they have try to indoctrinate us through game shows? That kind of crap has NO PLACE ON A GAME SHOW! You and this show are the reason I watch very little tv. There is no way I would ever allow my kids to watch this GARBAGE, because that is what it is. I will stick to GSN and the good old days. This current show is TRASH!

Being clean and cut doesn't bring in the money anymore. Liberals didn't cause that to happen. Audiences had, it's popular, so the more dirt means the more people watch and the sponsors love it. The same goes with politicians, whoever is least liked will be the easiest ticket to getting more people to watch.

And, yes, the old show was clean with hints of naughty. Not naughty as being outright vulgar and thinking that's funny.

In the 1970s, for the record, the 70s edition of MG was also pushing the envelope and got away with a lot. But they had the classiness and pre-taping tutoring of contestants that the modern show doesn't seem to have. Baldwin is a great host, the problem is more to do with excessive rauchniess.

I could have not said it better. It's just a ridiculous show.

I watched the first episode and it was so bad. I think one of the contestants gave "boner" as an answer and it wasn't in regards to a gaff. I hate Rosie so much I just couldn't take it. :(
