The Match Game and Charles Nelson Reilly!

Recently the Game Show Network aired a 30 episode (15 hour) marathon of The Match Game/Match Game PM/Match Game 73/etc. Good times were had by all who saw any of it, I'm sure.

It's a great show, it's the 70s, the sets look like the 70s, kitschy TV stars abound... You always had the genial, slightly sleazy host, Gene Rayburn; Brett Somers (Mrs. Jack Klugman from 1953 - 1974); and the great Charles Nelson Reilly. The charming Richard Dawson was there quite often; and others include Betty White, Fannie Flagg, Joyce Bulifant, Dick Martin, Dr. Joyce Brothers, George Kennedy, Jimmie Walker, Pat Morita, Patty Duke, Scoey Mitchell, Soupy Sales, William Shatner, Jaye P. Morgan, Shelly Winters, Morey Amsterdam, Mama Cass, Jack Cassidy, Rip Taylor, Rosie Grier, etc, etc, etc....

But anyway, we're watching it and everybody is loving Charles Nelson Reilly. He's such a nut! So I'm working on a section of this site for CNR. First up, a review (+ picture) of a stage show of his from last year!
