This show is still funny as "blank"

It holds up pretty well. Plus it's funny.

It's like watching 7 comedians relaxing and having a good time without trying too hard.

Sometimes when I watch shows like this from long ago, I can't help thinking "all these people are probably dead now".

I was recording it and watching it daily, but I just couldn't handle Brett Summers any longer, so I had to take a break from it.

My wife and I record two show per day and watch them when we meet for lunch break.

Yeah...Brett has been getting worse as time went by in the '70's.

With the exception of Betty White, it's the sixth seat that annoys me. Fannie and Patti are the worst!!! They make no effort to match.

They make no effort to match.

That part never really bothered me, as they could be funny about it, but it always made me think that the contestants must have been so pissed off when they were there.

It reminds me of the newer version of 100,000 Pyramid or whatever it is now (I think it's just called They Pyramid). They have some of the same celebrities on it now, over and over, and they are just atrocious at the game. I think they want to pay out as little money as possible, so that's why they keep bringing these same people back again and again. People like Kate Flannery (Meredith from The Office), who is probably one of the worst. If she was trying to describe a couch, it would sound something like this:
"you um um um, it's in an um um um, a living room um um um, you sit on it, um um um um, it's um um um long, um um um"
