One fun fact about ""Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour". Did you know that Butch Hartman (the very same one behind such shows as "The Fairly OddParents", "Danny Phantom", and "TUFF Puppy", among others) was a contestant on the Squares portion of the show at one point? On one of his episodes, Jon asks him just before a Squares game what he planned to do with the money he had won up to that point, and Butch says about going to college at USC, "to learn animation". One of the biggest names of American animation got his start on a one-season wonder.

Good work on this video, man! Game shows are getting hard to find nowadays. We have to do our best to archive them.

About the American Gladiators material from a longtime observant fan who used to play Assault in his basement: > The episodes 58 & 94 that you mentioned never aired here in the NY area that I ever saw. So for me, they were always skipped. > Even more so, Episode 92 (Spencer Street vs. Willie Cooley, injured winner Elizabeth Pepe vs. Yvonne Montalvo) was ALSO skipped in the NY area during first run, meaning in the 1st half of season 4, we only got FOUR prelim matches and jumped right into the quarters. Episode 92 only first popped up around here in cable reruns, and the suggestion that the episode was edited/released later was furthered by the addition of the "This Game" score graphics after each round that wasn't present until later episodes of the season. (Sidebar: I also wouldn't have known that there was an International Challenge 1 without visiting family once closer to Philly that happened by luck to have that episode on. NY wasn't showing that one, either.) > We should also acknowledge the footage from existing episodes that also has gone missing. For some reason, when rerun years later on cable, the aforementioned Episode 60 somehow lost Craig Charles' half of the men's Hang Tough event (it skips straight to Mark Ortega's part now). And then of course, the one set of footage NO ONE has ever seen: What exactly WAS the "Women's Swingshot" game in the Dark Season 1 that the ladies played in the prelims instead of Breakthrough & Conquer? All we ever got were the scores, but no gameplay footage ever to this day.

This was another great research video of yours.

An added footnote is match game was short lived bc the affiliates would not air the show because the answers were way too vulgar for daytime tv instead of being merely tongue and cheek like the previous versions. One episode had the contestant and the whole panel bleeped for a dirty answer.

Interesting mix, though I'm surprised you didn't mention the largely missing Woolery Era of Wheel of Fortune, Sajak has less than a full season missing, but Woolery barely has half season all total with what's turned up on youtube!

the 1978 Tic Tac Dough pilot also seems interesting as well. That and the fact that pre-1988 daytime episodes of Sale of The Century are rare as well.

Mark Ortega would eventually be crowned that season’s men’s champion when he defeated Joe Mauro in the Eliminator by just two hundredths of a second.

Speaking about Family fortunes... Polish version of family fortunes named "Familiada" (english for Family Olympics) will celebrate 30 years of being on air next year!
