“The show resurfaced as Match Game ‘73, and this version had a somewhat racier flavor. Gene Rayburn would read the questions, everyone would write down their responses, then reveal them in turn. Harmless enough in theory; however, giving six flaky show-folk a stack of blank cards and marking pens is a tantamount to handing finger-paints to a troupe of chimpanzees. Somehow, the one that sticks in my mind was the day the question was ‘Blank willow.’ Maybe you can some up with something besides weeping, pussy, and tit.” -Betty White
