Match Game/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Although, rather hilariously, he was the first one the Star Wheel picked.

* [[Growing the Beard]]: At some point circa 1965-66, having been cancelled with six weeks left to make, the show turned into a comedy game with silly questions like "Mary liked to pour gravy on John's _____"...and quickly got renewed by NBC. The show returned to the "sterile" stuff in 1973, but changed within six months to include the likes of Dumb Dora, Old Man Periwinkle, and anything that would lead to an answer of "boobs".

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "X was ''so'' Y..." "'''[[Greek Chorus|How Y was X?!]]'''" A lot of younger people don't even know the source of this meme.

* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: When Richard Dawson left the panel, he was eventually replaced eleven weeks into the final season (1981-82) by McLean Stevenson. He was no Dawson, though.
