I've got on my refrigerator a yellowed newspaper photo of Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Somers and Gene Rayburn in a publicity still from the show. My wife, born in 1975, thinks I'm a weirdo. I cannot in good faith contradict her. I remember calling my mom to hurry and pick me up from my friend's house so I could get home on New Year's Day in time to watch the Match Game '73 sign change over to Match Game '74.
When Richard Dawson goes to that Great Blank in the Sky, life will no longer be worth living. Is what I'm saying.

The world owes a lot to gay people who created so much art, music and literature, especially within Christianity. However, I reluctantly agree with Rod on his right to be able to like CNR (and the Glimmer Twins) despite his disapproval of their lifestyles. I still like Woody Allen movies...
I don't remember Fanny Flag's t-shirt bearing the fried egg decals, but I do remember the one with similarly placed "hands." And I too remember not wanting to miss the New Year's Day sign change.
I remember a Fannie Flagg sweater with the sequins in the pattern of the Confederate rebel flag. My how times HAVE changed.
I remember the Fannie Flagg hands and eggs t - shirts. There was a girl in my high school that had the exact same shirts, and she just happened to be wearing the hands one the day the entire school board was there with some pr flacks from the state education commission, and you'd have thought the entire world was at end, the reaction when they saw her. Priceless. :-)
