Ugly Dave looks like the Aussie Charles Nelson Reilly clone!

Gorgeous recreation of the set, but seeing the BB title just kinda...appear does not feel right when compared to MGs sign.

@columbusmozart Only the pilot and premiere of the US ABC Blankety Blanks survives on the game show trading circuit. There may be even a few audio from TV episodes surfaced...

@heine71 Sorry. Wasn't sure how her last name was spelled.

@ojiisanhikui You mean Brett Somers (Mrs. Jack Klugman, that is).
-
@heine71 Not only that, Carol Raye and her glasses would be the perfect counterpoint to Brett Summers.

No doubt the Ozzies feel the same way inverse...

I believe that was the intent.

Well, the US had a "Blankety Blanks" game in 1975 (different game though) and it didn't last long. There are no remaining videos of it (destroyed by wiping by ABC).

Not as far as I know. I've looked at both sets, and while they are close, there are telltale differences, especially on the Celebrity Rows. Still, as I said Grundy did a hell of a good job in the copy, and the style of BB. It would have been fun to see them swap Gene and Gra for a week, or perhaps Brett/Charles with Ugly John/Noelene.

@columbusmozart I thought that the US set was shipped to Australia when the US Match Game debuted its new set, with the old set going Down Under to Blankety Blanks.

It all seems so...so familiar...
