Match Game '79 - April 20, 1979 (Final Aired CBS Episode)

[@der22672]

Really sad that the show never got to have a proper goodbye. Yes by this time the show pretty much lost it's popularity, but CBS should have respected it more since it was the number one show in daytime for at least two years. 1975 and 1976 I believe. They just should have respected it more, so Gene, and even Brett and Charles could have said their goodbyes formally. They were loyal to that show for six years.

When CBS aired Match Game after Richard Dawson left, WBNG Ch. 12 Binghamton, WDAU-22 Scranton, WTVH-5 Syracuse, and WHEC Ch. 10 Rochester didn't air this. But WIVB Ch. 4 Buffalo aired this at 9:30am.

Were they influenced by the 1956 film Friendly Persuasion? What a weird set of answers, considering everything not there.

Congressman Fred Grandy really screwed up the former Marine. So have to previously unaired eps ever been aired before?

[@kristabrewer9363]

I don't get what you guys are talking about. There's still a few more episodes for this season

[@Raarrow]

Three more weeks had been taped, but they never aired on CBS. This was the last one to air. GSN aired them in 2001, but that was the first time they were seen.

[@robertmoir-vj1kq]

I m glad it was Charles and not Richard

[@simonbyrd6518]

"The pin is bent a little bit," and so was Charles! lol
