Brings me back to my childhood

Love Charles's Snoopy sweater!

[@johnissoevil]

I see Match Game 90 as the end of the classic Match Game era. Charles was able to keep the feel of the Rayburn years alive on this version, and whenever Brett appeared, she helped with that. Ross did a great job hosting, and I can't prove this one way or another, but I'm pretty sure he had Gene's blessing.

I remember watching this episode on it's original ABC broadcast when I was homesick from school.

[@nicholasblalock8596]

cartoongameshowman what ABC station did you watch

[@tvtimetravel]

Anne-Marie was a contestant on "Card Sharks" in 1979, and also played Raj's wife on "What's Happening Now!"

[@tnawcwvictoria]

She was also a contestant on Child's Play with the late Bill Cullen on CBS

[@Sjsuman5000]

The Head to Head Match....when I heard _________ PARK, I thought CENTRAL. What did you think of?

[@markjones1184]

Sjsuman5000 ditto

[@markheying2830]

Mark Jones I was thinking either Central or National.

[@YamiSatoshi]

I would have gone with SOUTH if that show had existed in 1990, but since it didn't, I also went with CENTRAL.

[@darreljones8645]

Well, those contestants weren't the best at the questions, but you gotta admit, that final Match-Up was amazing to watch!

[@arhsmacdude]

it was too bad that gene rayburn was not host

[@richardhernandez4490]

Judging _____________ PARK, there were WAY too many possibilities for this one. That was VERY tough.

[@hawnmelissa2000]

I like when they do the Dumb Dora question

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

I was a little young for politics in 1990 (12), were there already a lot of tensions about Iraq three months before the Persian Gulf War?

[@bluebear1985]

Interesting A question in round 1. I tend to see a little irony in it strangely enough.

[@73gossipboy]

I would have said his wife for the first one

[@BigSCTVfan]

Yeah, they should have just let Gene Rayburn host the show, even if he was too old at the time.

[@BomberMonkAssassin32]

+BigSCTVfan Gene Rayburn was about 72 yrs old at the time he would've been capable of hosting MG again

[@BomberMonkAssassin32]

+BigSCTVfan Richard Dawson got another shot at hosting feud again 4 years down the road in 1994 youre right Gene should've gotten a 2nd opportunity to host MG in1990

[@MMB18abel]

@@BomberMonkAssassin32 : Mark Goodson was still alive at the time of the MG 90 reboot. Mark did not want Dawson back for his FEUD reboot in 1988, after Mark passed on it was his son Jonathan who brought Dawson back.

[@talkieful1710]

Never mess with the original for it's time. Just caught the new one with Alec Baldwin. Terrible! Of course the money is higher now on these new game show for the time we are living in.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

@UncleMikeNJ It's so terrible that even BLANK said they look better. (Ugly Edna) Actually, I don't mind Alec's verison, LOL, I just don't get many chances to watch since I work Wednesdays.
