Discovering the Game Show, “Three on a Match”

Being a retro television enthusiast, the internet has become my go-to friend, making my hobby a breeze. I can easily catch up on all those beloved shows from my childhood, and sometimes, I stumble upon hidden gems that I've never seen before. Yesterday, during my lunch break, I was in the mood for something new and exciting, and that's when I came across "Three on a Match."

Now, let me tell you, this show may have had a short life, running from 1971 to 1974, but it has left a lasting impression on me. Bill Cullen hosted the show, with the iconic Don Pardo handling the announcer duties. I've only watched one episode so far, but boy, am I hooked! What sets "Three on a Match" apart from modern game shows is its delightful complexity. I could try to explain it to you, but I'm afraid I'd just end up making it sound more confusing than it actually is.

If you're a fellow game show enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out this gem. Trust me; it's worth the watch. And hey, after you've seen it, I'd love to hear what you think! There's something special about diving into these nostalgic shows that take us back to a simpler time. So go ahead, give it a try, and let's chat about the wonderful world of "Three on a Match"!

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
