Ok **MeanOldLady** , you be Brett Butler and I’ll be Betty White… Who was the bimbo, I can’t think of her name? I loved the Match Game, even though I only saw it on Game Show Network reruns. I’m not _quite_ old enough to have seen it first time around. Oh, and answer sent… 🙂 ---

The swapped out the bimbo fairly often. It was whichever broad had a movie coming out, or was in a new TV show. ---

Now I’m gonna be singing the Match Game theme song the rest of the day… thanks. 😃 So when do we get to start teasing the panelist who hasn’t responded? I forgot about Fannie Flagg! I should’ve said I was gonna be her, after all we’re both redheads! ---

Does anyone remember the “Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour” wherein the first part of the show was the traditional Match Game with Rayburn hosting and a panel that included Jon “Bowser” Bauman (of Sha-Na-Na)? Then in the second half hour, Jon and Gene would trade places, another tier of second-string celebrities was added to the top, and Jon would host a game of Hollywood Squares with Charles Nelson Reilly in the center? Anyone? Maybe I dreamt it. ---

Since Nipsey often sat in for Charles, that’s no problem. The current arrangement is thus: ```auto HardlySanguine MeanOldLady antonio107 astorian etv78 Dr. Girlfriend ``` ---

Yup. And I’m worried the booth is going to run out of music soon. Looking into a workaround. ---

Okay, here’s the deal. With no hard feelings, I’ve replaced **astorian** in the interest of getting this experiment moving again. Stick around, **astorian** , I’ll be glad to have you back in the game later. **Skammer** joins us now, and I have all 6 panelists responses. The new arrangement is thus: ```auto HardlySanguine MeanOldLady antonio107 Skammer etv78 Dr. Girlfriend ``` So, without further ado, **MadTheSwine** : please give us your answer to University \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. ---

A fine answer, one which I might have chosen myself. And now to see what the panelists had to say. I was originally going to try to do this sequentially, but I think in the interest of keeping the ball rolling, I’ll just say, panelists, please post the answers that you had previously PMed me and let’s see how MadTheSwine did with “University Scholar.” ---

> [@MadTheSwine](#): > > Cant you just say what they said? That’s a fair point. It’s not what I had in mind, but I think in the effort to get us going again, I’ll take that suggestion and go with it. If things start running more quickly again, maybe we’ll switch back to my original idea later: University \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **HardlySanguine** : University relations **MeanOldLady** : University education **antonio107** : University of Michigan **Skammer** : University degree **etv78** : University of Phoenix **Dr. Girlfriend** : as we know, gave University degree So, **MadTheSwine** , I’m sorry to say that’s no points in round 1 for you. Good argument for going with your first instinct, though, as “of Michigan” would have gotten you one point, at least. Now’s a good time to remind both contestants that round 1 does traditionally generate a broad variety of answers. Better luck in round 2. Alrighty, **cmkeller** , please begin thinking about your answer for this, your question in round 1: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ STREET Panelists, please now PM me with your response. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ STREET [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/match-game-anyone/593949.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/match-game-anyone/593949.md?page=3)
