NBC-TV this week is infiltrating a new daytime quiz show, "The Match Game," in which panel teams write the same answers to questions by the host, Gene Rayburn. The original match game, which requires only a book of matches and a cozy tavern, was taught to me in Gus' Pub in Chicago, and I can assure you it is more pleasant. The new show is dreadful, geared for incredible simpletons and the screaming ninnies in the studio audience. [/quote]
Rick DuBrow, BTW, was the TV writer for UPI, back when it was a real wire service.
"Screaming ninnies in the studio audience?" What screaming ninnies? This was back when "TPIR" was the only G-T show where the studio audience was encouraged to shout at the stage. I'm afraid to think what this guy thought of "LMAD" a few months later--oh, wait, *that* was probably a "decline and fall of Western civilization" review.
DuBrow's kid is in the business today, I believe--not game shows, although that would be tres ironic.
