Match Game 2025 reboot

Magitroopa wrote 2 months ago: 1

So today, it has been officially announced that ABC will once again be reviving Match Game, now with Martin Short as host. My question... should this be created as a new/separate show altogether, or would we consider this to be a 'new season'/continuation of the 2016-2021 Alec Baldwin-hosted revival on ABC? The articles seem to be saying it is a new 2025 reboot, but figured I would ask here to make sure of it beforehand.

I see that you've updated the 2016 reboot, @fli718. Just sending this so you know about this discussion here.

Should be its new guide until the network confirms otherwise.

Could what was changed here today please be fixed back then if that is the case? As I mentioned, a new season + Martin Short has now already been added to the 2016 reboot (and changed from 'Ended' to 'Running').

I fixed the old show, so if someone could create a new one with Martin Short, it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for all the trouble! Thanks for your help!
