“I hadn’t seen that scene since the show was originally broadcast in the late 70’s, as it had been cut out of the reruns to make space for MORE stupid commercials”.
My sentiments exactly. I can only tolerate watching “Match Game” on GSN only once in a while nowadays because you can easily tell how they’ve chopped up that program big time to make room for ads and other promotions, even cutting out the legendary ticket plugs. Other programs like “MASH” and “Sanford and Son” have also been edited further to make room for ads and also for censorship reasons.
Looks very artificial so far.
