2 | William T. Naud liked that GameShow called ''Series/MatchGame'',\ |
3 | So he decided to make something that was almost the same.\ |
4 | Instead of matching words in statements this time,\ |
5 | He gave the players {{poetry}} and made them rhyme the last line\ |
6 | And hoping the three celebrities they chose would end the poem with the same word\ |
7 | First to three points [[note]](two for each match by the player who made the pick, one for a match of the opponent's word)[[/note]] won a $250 award.\ |
8 | But the best of three was the thing to catch,\ |
9 | Since $5,000 could be won by the winner of the match,\ |
10 | If they could make three rhymes the same\ |
11 | With a chosen person of fame. |

13 | Unfortunately, this show's ratings ended up being dreck,\ |
14 | So on the [[GrandFinale last show]] the panel [[TrashTheSet made the set such a wreck]]!\ |
15 | But what would give away from this show so crude,\ |
16 | Was the premiere of the ''Series/FamilyFeud''! |

20 | !!This show provides examples of: |
21 | * TheAnnouncer: Johnny Jacobs. |
22 | * BonusRound: One more set of poetry, come up with three rhymes for the ending. Earn $1,000 for each match with a single celebrity, win $5,000 if all three were matched. |
23 | * DieHardOnAnX: It's essentially ''Match Game'' [--[[InSpace WITH POETRY!]]--] To be fair, ''Match'' sometimes did questions involving rhyming couplets. |
24 | * GameShowWinningsCap: Five wins. |
25 | * GrandFinale: ''Rhyme''[='s=] finale was rather unique as the panelists made it clear that the show was canned...by [[TrashTheSet destroying the set]] as the credits rolled. |
26 | * {{Pilot}}: The one that circulates has a clip at the beginning from either a run-through or previous pilot — the clip uses a different panel (Mitzi [=McCall=], Nipsey Russell, Jaye P. Morgan, Jack Cassidy, Adrienne Barbeau, and Charlie Brill), different contestants (wearing nametags), and score displays that lack their "1-2-WIN" markers. |
27 | * PrecisionFStrike: "When Nipsey tells a poem, it's usually a ZINGER..." |
28 | -->'''Jaye P. Morgan:''' We didn't give him a hand, but we gave him the finger. |
29 | * RecycledSoundtrack: The pilot's reveal cue for the rhyme is straight from ''Series/TheJokersWild'', among other things. |
