    For now, just as a jovial actor inhabiting an unexpected part, Baldwin is fun to watch and it's good to see him carrying over Rayburn's love for in-character clue readings, in this case a dismal-but-terrific Mick Jagger impression.

    One reason the new Match Game was so much fun was that it remained essentially true to the original.

    Match Game’s brand is loony lewdness, and there is something admirable about the liberated way the revival practices it. It’s equal opportunity lewdness; everyone one the show, straight or gay, can be as blue as they wanna be. I like how Baldwin flirts, or pretends to flirt, with female and male celebrity panelists.

    Alec Baldwin is both funny and witty. The format stays true to the original. Worth a watch.

    I love this show. Who knew Alex Baldwin's true calling was game show host. The game itself is a complete farce full of double entendres andI love this show. Who knew Alex Baldwin's true calling was game show host. The game itself is a complete farce full of double entendres and celebrities usually going for laughs at the expense of the contestants but the show just makes me laugh. Full Review »
