Okay, Not Everything about the 70's Was All That Bad....

Cranky links to a post at Subterfuge celebrating the heyday of the game show. I have to confess that I used to love some of these shows, particularly Match Game with Gene Rayburn. Subterfuge includes a picture of Brett Somers, one of the anchor celebs on the show. I never had the faintest idea who she was and it is indeed only today that I learn she was Jack Klugman's wife for a while. (Cue Quincy impersonation: What kind of a crummy actress would do something like this?) But I distinctly remember her spats with Charles Nelson Reilly.

Subterfuge also links to a mega-compendium of game shows, past and present.

Speaking of which, I also came across a site dedicated to British game shows and found an old favorite called Treasure Hunt, that I used to watch all the time when I lived in London. Ah, yes, the days of jump-suited helicopter chick Anneka Rice........ (No, she's no Melissa. But then who is?)

Loved Match Game! I think that Brett was also married to Gene Rayburn for a bit.

Loved the spats between Charles and Brett. I had thought they were married. (I was young and very, very naive. Had no idea there were homosexuals in the world.)
