Season Three Ratings

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Match Game for season four? The show continued its downward slide in the ratings last year so, even though game shows are far cheaper to produce than scripted fare, the network can only afford to let them go so low. Thus far the Match Game’s ratings have remained pretty steady which is no easy feat these days. For now, I suspect that Match Game will be renewed. I’m going to keep a hungry eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Match Game cancellation or renewal news.

I dont care for all the political crap you get. I want to watch to be entertained, also it gets dirtier with every show. I quite watching a couple of weeks ago.
I don’t care for the political comments. I want to be entertained and I don’t care about the celebrites’ political views.
It’s ok but I love other games shows better
If you go on the Match Game Home page for ABC it says they are casting for season 4
This show makes me laugh. I say keep it going. It is better than half of the shows on these days!
