==Episode status== Only 11 episodes of the 1962β69 series are known to survive<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thematchgamewebsite.com/rules/mg60s.html |title=The Match Game |publisher=The Match Game Website |access-date=August 12, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090108064657/http://thematchgamewebsite.com/rules/mg60s.html |archive-date=January 8, 2009 }}</ref>βthe pilot and 10 [[kinescope]] recordings, all of which are archived at the [[Paley Center for Media]]. Nine of these are black-and-white kinescopes and one is a color episode (from 1969 and on videotape). The pilot has since fallen into the [[public domain]]. ===Reruns=== The 1973β82 incarnations are shown in reruns daily on [[Buzzr]] and [[Game Show Network|GSN]]. Virtually all episodes of this version are still extant, although some are reportedly not shown due to celebrities' refusals of clearances, while others have been banned for various reasons (usually for answers from either celebrities or contestants that are now deemed to no longer be [[politically correct]]) or pulled from reruns due to tape damage.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/rgagne77/matchpm.htm|title=Match Game PM|access-date = 2007-08-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050622194040/http://www.geocities.com/rgagne77/matchpm.htm|archive-date=2005-06-22}}</ref> The 1990β91 ABC version has also had runs on GSN until 2005. On December 25, 2012, an episode of the 1998 version along with a Bert Convy pilot aired on GSN for the first time as part of a ''Match Game'' marathon. [[Buzzr]] also airs reruns of the 1970s Match Game incarnation. Buzzr added the ''Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour'' episodes to its lineup in February 2019, initially with the first week of episodes, more episodes were eventually added in September after the network updated the show's archive for 21st-century broadcasting standards. Those episodes had not been seen on television since their original broadcasts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.vulture.com/2019/02/match-game-hollywood-squares-hour-streaming-buzzr.html|title=Holy [Blank]: The Long-Lost Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour Returns to TV After 35-Year Absence|last=Adalian|first=Josef|date=2019-02-01 |website=www.vulture.com |access-date=2019-02-01}}</ref>
