Match Game/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

** The ABC version was slotted at Noon, forcing affiliates to choose between it and local news. Most took the news.

** The 1998-99 version was laden with so many problems, Michael Burger and the second set were the only things that didn't screw it over.

* [[~~Un Cancelled~~]]: The original NBC version, ''and how.'' NBC thought the show was getting low ratings, so they didn't renew it for another season. However, they still had 6 weeks left of episodes to film. So, Mark Goodson decided to okay a suggestion from one of its writers ([http://gizwizbiz.squarespace.com/match-game-memories/ Dick DeBartolo], then and now a [[Mad Magazine]] writer) to start using more racy questions, under the logic that they could easily get away with it because they were already cancelled to begin with. It turned out that the [[Hotter and Sexier]] ''Match Game'' was getting ''way'' more viewers.
