Love me, Love me Not End Game

[BlindfoldedParrot]

So if you're a bit bad and get within 4 of the other person, you only lose $400 instead of $700 for just missing by one?

What a weird system.

[srf1969]

I never seen anyone win this game before. Never heard of this game before either.

The show when Trebek did the pilot was done at ABC Los Angeles and called M'ama Non M'ama, and not done in French, even though Alex speaks French. Was considered as a replacement for Dawson Feud at the time, but they picked up All-Star Blitz in 1985 and replaced Feud with reruns of Angie.

[CeleTheRef]

a program in Italy paid homage to this show by inviting the singer of the original theme.

check it out v=VlWtErxcmqk

[pseudoplastico]

that's really not enough questions for the player to have a fair shake at winning

[trent100100]

couldn't you miss 3 questions lol and then be on the same step

[BlastFurnaceCanada]

It did happen at least once during the show's run ... even Ross Schafer couldn't believe it.

[JBTHREAT]

yep, that means you lose

[bluebear1985]

I heard something that Alex Trebek actually hosted the pilot for this show, except its title was in French for some reason.

[gameshowfreak2007]

that's true only the title was Italian: M'ama Non M'ama (pronounced mama no mama) but translated that's love me love me not.

I use to watch the Bonus Round on this show before. I never seen the contestant win the game or the lady catches the man. You only get 40 seconds in the game to catch her and its NOT enough time. This is also a hard game to play as well.

[viddykiddy18]

According to the early rules, the bonus game lasted for 50 seconds (later 45), so I guess they shortened the time to make it harder.

[tristanunsworth]

Game TV (IGameTV.*com) now airs 'Just Like Mom', that use to air on YTV when the channel first launched in 1988, weekdays at Noon (Eastern). WOO-HOO!!! Fergie Oliver (host).

[tristanunsworth]

Something that was remarkable was all these "factoids" they had to find BEFORE the invention of the Internet. Amazing. The British version had a MUCH bigger daisy wheel. lol Kind of scary. But this had a better theme song (not cheesy).

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

if she had ended up catching him then the round would end immediately correct?

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

how many questions did ross say there were? 11?

[lobstertexas]

so apparently this is not winnable if you miss just one question, as he barely caught up to her before time ran out.. ridiculous :p

[RolandTaylorJr]

Well, actually I've seen this round won twice. But that was when the contestant got 50 seconds instead of 40.

[gameshowfreak2007]

and i think they played for 45 seconds for some time too. and that's such an awkward payoff isn't $100 per square the long way, and Ross would have given the guy whatever was left over of the $700 so if he had just missed one and not answered the rest of the round he would have still won $100 for doing nothing.

[KPCarter2000]

they actually had 45 sec

[mrceleb2006]

About the brand new car given away on this short-lived game show, was it always a Pontiac Fiero?

[Procyonidae]

That's a horrible rule. The closer he gets to her, the more SHE gets if he fails?

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

you're right. that makes no sense

[natemarroquin]

Match Game 90's Ross Shafer

[cpowers94]

They're re-running this on GameTV in Canada (rebranded CGTV), it's a pretty good show actually, I have been watching it almost every weekend at work since the channel started

[TonyDuMont]

I thought that the woman would have received $100 because the man was one step behind her.

[TonyDuMont]

The round is called "the chase around the daisy," or so I think. Regardless of its outcome, the panelist would become the next game's challenger. I thought awarding $100 per space lengthwise was unusual, but awkward.

[lukebartolo]

what's the name of that round?

[namk19]

hey ross schafer i probably spelled that wrong but I know who that is

[MGHSHour2]

i have 2 episodes of this

[booboo900]

well no i don't but i have heard of it

[booboo900]

HEY I REMEMBER THIS SHOW!

[churlyryan]

The Clock was interesting and unique.
