Blankety Blanks was an American game show that aired on ABC from April 21, 1975 to June 27, 1975 hosted by legendary game show emcee Bill Cullen. Bob Clayton was the announcer. The show didn't last very long. Many had criticized it as being a Match Game clone.

Australian version of the popular American game show "Match Game 73" (1973). In this game is two contestants - one champion and one challenger. Host Graham Kennedy (I) reads a funny fill-in-the-blank statement (e.g., "Mary, Mary Quite Contrary couldn't make her garden grow with water, so she used *blank* instead). The six celebrity panelists wrote their responses with a word or phrase which they thought best completed said statement; the contestant was then asked for his/her answer. A correct match was worth one point each. Two rounds were played, with celebrities sitting out the second-round question that whatever a contestant they matched one of them the first time. The contestant having the most matches (ergo: 6 points) after two rounds (or after a tie-breaker if needed) became the champion, and played the "Super Match" for up to $1000. In the "Super Match," Kennedy read a simple fill-in-the-blank phrase (e.g.: "*blank* phone") to which a previous studio audience had responded; the most popular answer was worth $100 with the less-popular answers worth $50 and $25. The contestant could ask three celebrities for suggestions, after which he/she could choose one or come up with his/her own response (answer). After the answers were revealed, the contestant won the appropriate amount of money and that could win up to 10 times more (ergo: $250, $500 or $1000) by matching one celebrity on one more fill-in-the-blank question (e.g.: "cookie *blank*"). Contestants continued to compete until defeated. Written by Brendan Richards

One contestant and one celebrity partner played against another contestant and another celebrity partner in a game of puns. Play began with the host randomly selecting one of 100 computer (punch)cards from a spinning wheel and placed into an electronic scanning machine. Each card had one player (who would try to solve a puzzle) and one point value (between 300-1000) programmed into it, and the player selected by the machine would select one of six clues about a person, place, or thing. If the player guessed correctly, the points were added to the player's "bank", otherwise another card would be selected and play would continue until the puzzle was solved. A "Blankety Blank" was a pun with the punchline removed, such as: The tornado that hit the pretzel factory was a real ____. (Answer: Twister) If the contestant and celebrity partner answered correctly, all the points in their bank would become dollars for the contestant and the opponents would get a Strike. A contestant that lost three Blankety Blanks (Strikes) would leave the show with any money accumulated, and a new contestant would play. There was no end game. Written by krazydan_11@yahoo.com
