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.
