Thanksgiving Week: _________ Turkeys (Match Game PM, 1981)

 Match Game PM was one of two syndicated spin-offs from the CBS series. This weekly iteration was in its final season when this particular episode aired.

The difference between this and the regular Match Game was an additional round of game play and an extra Super Match before the Star Wheel (introduced a couple of years earlier). The 1st Super Match question has to do with this week's holiday.

Panel includes series regulars Brett Somers (ex-The New Perry Mason), Charles Nelson Reilly (ex-The Ghost & Mrs. Muir), and rotating guests Dolly Martin (Dick's wife), Jimmie Walker (ex-Good Times, B. A. D. Cats), Bill Daily (ex-The Bob Newhart Show, I Dream of Jeannie), and Debralee Scott (ex-Angie).


I think this might be the only time they used a Thanksgiving question on the show, but don't hold me to it.

Rating: A.
