people like to throw out all sorts of examples as to what typified the 70s...

I say one of the best examples was a inebriated and lecherous game show host in the name of Richard Dawson.

I defy anyone to pull that off now and not get tasered. Seriously, I double dog dare anyone to do that.

Another thing that wouldn't work: Match Game. All the fun was in them skirting around the edges of what was appropriate for TV. - TWuG Sep 23, 07:24 1
- I was going to throw in a Gene Rayburn reference as well because you're right...no way Match Game, as played back then, would work. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:25
