Yikes!! That outfit Peter Marshall was wearing !! Bright & ruffles on the shirt . Very over the top !! I was just a little girl of 7 in 1972 but liked Match Game ,Price is Right ,Hollywood Squares Wheel of Fortune and The $ Pyramid Series when I got old enough to to sit still and understand game shows by the year 1974- 1975.
