Face The Music

[@CRCO1975]

Face the Music has always been one of my favorite game shows. Thanks for posting these.

[@weswilson53]

I loved this show! Thanks for posting this Wink. RIP Ron Ely.

[@MyGuyJustinH]

I loved this show, too. RIP Ron Ely.

[@nelsonlgarcia8421]

I will always remember this amazing game show it was a huge part of my childhood 😢😢

[@Drchainsaw77]

This concept probably wasn't as strong as Name That Tune, but it was a much more fun show and had one of the best game show themes and intermission music anywhere. Ron wasn't nearly as smooth or glib as a Barker or Kennedy, but he had a lot of fun on this show and that made it fun to watch. Sure wish there was a clean recording of the theme without any voiceover. RIP Ron Ely.

This is terrific, Wink to see a restored episode of "Face the Music" as we remember a great talent in actor Ron Ely who passed away a couple of days ago. I caught first watching "Face the Music" as a child in 1989 on USA and frequent repeat airings on The Family Channel, (where YOU did game shows there: I.E.: Trivial Pursuit!). I know Ron did a very commendable job as host of this brief but successful show from Sandy Frank Productions that I totally enjoyed with its AMAZING set design by John C. Mula and the work done by Tommy Oliver and Lisa Donovan (yes overpraise, but deserved.) I would LOVE to see more restored videos of "Face The Music" if you have them," Wink. This brings back so many memories. Thanks a bunch, you are a legend!

[@MyGuyJustinH]

I watched Face the Music on the Family Channel, too.

[@meyerj75]

I agree. Three episodes is a microscopic fraction compared to 360.

[@Orange9098ItsOrangewithContent]

I remember this show! Other than the contestants screaming I GOT IT!! RIP to Ron Ely

3:22 1st round famous faces the reprise

[@collinmurr3207]

I don't know if anyone ever had more fun hosting a game show than Ron Ely. RIP.

[@jeffandbike4503]

I remember watching this on CBN and USA in the 80s. This show ran back to back with it's Sandy Frank cousin show Name That Tune 84-85 with Jim Lange

[@bradleysherman959]

I remember this show! It aired right alongside Let’s Make a Deal and Bullseye weekday evenings on my local station.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

This is a strange week for obituaries. First, Ron Ely seen here passed away. And now Jack Jones died today. They were both 86 years old. Jack was a great game player too.

[@vinniemystery563]

The Love Boat Theme Dude 😥

[@misstee101]

Oh, I miss Ron Ely. He used to host Miss America a couple of times.

[@meyerj75]

He did Miss America both 1980 and 1981 before getting devoted to his wife with two daughters and a son.

[@kingporter67]

This is a great game show classic and the late, great Ron Ely hosted it!!

[@BenJabituya]

Hey, Wink. This is Rohan speaking. First thing's first, Rest Peacefully, Ron Ely. I used to watch him on "Face The Music" in reruns on the USA Network.

[@tommyhoffman969]

Ron Was Great With What He was Given

[@morgan8757]

i remember this match

[@drummingdanny84]

Ron Ely is gone! 😢

[@rhondamontgomery3797]

I can't believe "Doc Savage" is gone 😢 😫 😪 😭 😔 😩. Rest In Heaven, Mister Ely💔.

[@sirkrunch]

Remember a few years ago when The Family Channel had their gameshow block and ran this after $100,000 Name That Tune (Lange)... Just too bad they didn't have episodes of Tom Kennedy's version, which the eras would have lined up better.

[@MyGuyJustinH]

That would've been amazing.

[@meyerj75]

I watched it at least four times: When it first came out, on CBN, on the USA Network and on the Family Channel!

[@OhBear-j8l]

Hope this bunch includes when Ron was one of the pictures.

[@anniefinch6843]

RIP Ron Ely that hosted this game show on television.

[@anniefinch6843]

I think this host should know that this is the first Disney movie. I also remembered that this movie is on Disney plus and it's also in the program Once Upon a Studio and it was mentioned on the show Walt Disney presents.

[@pitchman3]

Bring BACK this show!! ;)

[@mshroye2]

I remember seeing this for the first time on the family channel in the 90s I thought it was an interesting show. Rip Ron ely

[@justinlee7131]

I'm having MST3K flashbacks with that production card

[@carloscarabello7931]

To think...he actually played the TV version of Tarzan...

[@donaldpaluga]

Every night, Jane

[@meyerj75]

1966 was a good year for super heroes on television. There was Tarzan, Batman, and the Green Hornet to name a few.

[@KrakenMan5853]

You know, Ron Ely sounds quite a bit like Mike Darow of Jackpot and $128,000 Question fame. RIP Ron and Mike.

[@vinniemystery563]

Damn i was just watching Episodes on my External Hard Drive of FACE THE MUSIC 🎶🎶 😥😥

[@ChristopherThompson-tf6fd]

Rest in God's peace, Ron...

[@marcomacias3960]

at 4:26 who as that song associate with?

[@SyncopateTheShot]

I always thought Ron was a good host. He could be self-deprecating (like you, Wink) and had a running gag with Tommy about how bad his band was. He had a confident presence and would have made a great host on a more extended series, this one being only two seasons.

[@donaldpaluga]

Sad he never hosted another game show.

[@meyerj75]

@@donaldpaluga After Face The Music, he became a "family" man.

[@scootover7]

@@donaldpaluga I agree he was really good on this, I didn't know at the time watching back then who he was, I just know he did great hosting this, and deserved another game show . He made this show fun to watch.

[@robertash5670]

I Believe They Did Jack Jones In The Second Season

[@meyerj75]

I would have gotten her on the fourth portrait.

[@jeremyprice7256]

What!? When did THIS come about? Ron Ely's death, I mean!

[@arciem1959]

Wednesday was when his death was announced.

[@vinniemystery563]

I remember when Ron Ely's Mom sent him in as a Clue

[@LittleRockElevatorsandmore]

He was also on the famous picture round as well. You can hear him laughing in the background once they showed his face
