Wow, this takes me back to early childhood, my foster Dad would come home from the shop for lunch after my Mom spent the morning doing her ironing watching these game shows, I remember the smell of her fabric softener, it smelled like a pink baby's blanket. Later the lunch smells of fresh perked coffee and soup, sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, pickles, green onions, radishes, Ernie liked hot things like those little yellow peppers that made your eyes water. We would listen to Paul Harvey on the radio..."This is Paul Harvey..good day" ! She would then read the mail she received from her grown Daughter back East who's husband was an AF jet mechanic . It's odd how an old game show theme can open a window on the past. Gawd, I'd give anything to revisit the early 60's, just for a day, to see my deceased folks again and be their little boy instead of the old man I am now. JD

I was in the Match Game audience in February 1968 (aired the next month or so), and to a then-15-year-old it was fun. The celebrity guests were Morey Amsterdam and Phyllis Newman. Two shows were filmed in the same day--about an hour and a half. At the start of the second show, Gene Rayburn commented that some of the audience members (unchanged from the first show, of course) looked very familiar. The set was a nice maroon and wood (not the same as in this pilot). I wasn't on camera at any point. Sorry for all this reminiscing, but this brought it back.

+Bob Frost I dimly remember that NBC taped the old Match Game at Rockefeller Center on Wednesdays and Fridays (3 on Wednesday, 2 Friday). And the bonus round, where some large number of people were supposedly surveyed, involved the answer of only one person or just a very few that the contestants had to match. It was easy to get tickets. No waiting list lasting for months on end.

They taped 2 shows before lunch with one audience, then 3 shows after lunch with another. So if they tape all week long, that's five weeks worth of programming. Very efficient.

Enjoyed seeing this, thanks. While this IS the pilot for Match Game, for those who Might not know, there've been around 5 iterations of the show. This - from '62-'69 - was the first. The one most people recall I's the iconic early 70's through the early '80's version. I love Peggy Cass, and for those who might not know, this version (as well as such series as ToTell The Truth), were filmed here in NYC - NOT LA. That's why there'd be a different group of 'celebrities' which could be used on series like these. I think Goodson-Todman were VERY smart to stay with Gene Rayburn as host for the 2nd, iconic version of Match Game, which is unusual, as when anything gets revamped, they usually start from a 'clean slate,' sets, rules... hosts - they almost always go & new everything's brought in. This is also why new versions almost always fail (esp. If they do this with a well-known & likes series), because the things which made the original popular are gone, & they're memory's are still close enough to irk people. This was the 'one-in-a-million' times it worked.

I don't remember watching this version, but I realize now I had to have watched it, but I do remember the theme song! It has been in the back of my mind since that time, but I had forgotten where I had originally heard it, it was this show! I was born in 1961 and in the late 1960s I went with my mom every 6 months into NYC for my eye doctor appointment at 39th Street and Lexington Avenue, usually around 10:30am. Then my mom and I would walk to the Grand Central Viaduct Ticket Office where we would choose free tickets to game shows that were being filmed that day! They were all arranged on a desk and we could choose whichever ones we wanted. We saw To Tell The Truth, What's My Line, Concentration, the original Jeopardy with Art Fleming, and so many more. Just a few short years later all those game shows moved to California. Nowadays only some soap operas are still taped in NYC, but of course they don't have audiences. Can you imagine if soap operas had a live audience? I think they would be much more popular again.

What a wonderful pilot show. It really was a good game and Peggy Cass was a delight. I had never heard of Peter Lind Hayes, but he was great too. Gene looked so young, like he was 35 or something (although he was actually a bit older than that). I had to laugh at 12:38 when Gene said "It's been a very exciting game, one of the most exciting..." Since it was the first episode, it sort of had to be the one of the most exciting ones so far! (I know, he must have meant one of the most exciting TV games shows of all time, or something like that.) Still, at the moment, it struck me as unintentionally humorous. Finally, I was wondering how they were going to award the winnings. I figured each of the two "civilians" would get the amount won ($225 today). No way would they be so cheap as to divide it between the two teammates, I thought. Ha! They did divide it! Each winner walked away with 112.50! Too funny. This was actually a pretty good show, but not even in the same league as the now-classic "Match Game '7x".

In the pilot, the celebrity captains on each team sat in the middle of the team's table. In the actual series, the celebrities were seated at one end of their team's table in such a way that the two celebrity captains sat next to each other. Peggy Cass was a regular celebrity panelist on "To Tell The Truth" in the 1960's and 1970's, which like "Match Game", was also produced by Goodson-Todman.

It's still that way in many backward countries…. And no matter what the commenter above claims,… It's not, "better that way,"… It's always better to see men and women as equally responsible for both work and family. Our ancestors had to deal with their world… Including slavery… But I think that the smart ones all hope that someday things will be better. And today, for the most part, they are. (America is already greater)

At the time, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was just a song, maybe not obscure, but well before the Rankin-Bass animation that was so wildly popular for Baby-boomers onward.
