It's just too bad that GSN has to interrupt these celebrations today with their damn self-serving ads!

Correct. It's not the date of TAPING that mattered, it was the date the show was going to AIR. Which was always on the opening slate.
(One side note/exception. When the three networks started to air the Watergate hearings during the daytime hours -- it wreaked havoc with the daytime programming for the duration. I recall that Gene started saying "We'll see you NEXT TIME", instead of 'tomorrow' or 'Monday', because they DIDN'T KNOW how many eps they would be airing in any given week.)

There will be no Match Game 2012 or Match Game 2013.
They are all dead now.
May they all rest in peace.

According to one of the fee plugs following the 73-74 switch: Chap-ans hand lotion was made by the makes of Chap-Stick in the 1950's-1970's.

my mom was born on December 30, 1973 when this show was taped
They were actually still taping Match Game '74 in 1973. It should have still been called MG '73, to clear up the confusion.

No, shows are taped ahead of time. People in the audience were told that it is being taped ahead of time. How was that confusing.

I don't remember any of the specifics but I do remember seeing the name-change episode. If I remember right it aired at 2:30pm on NBC in Seattle.
