So he decided to make something that was almost the same.
Instead of matching words in statements this time,
He gave the players poetry and made them rhyme the last line
And hoping the three celebrities they chose would end the poem with the same word
First to three points note won a $250 award.
But the best of three was the thing to catch,
Since $5,000 could be won by the winner of the match,
If they could make three rhymes the same
With a chosen person of fame.
Unfortunately, this show's ratings ended up being dreck,
So on the last show the panel made the set such a wreck!
But what would give away from this show so crude,
Was the premiere of the Family Feud!
(''Definitely'' not to be confused with the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers fanfic of the same name.)
This show provides examples of:
- The Announcer: Johnny Jacobs.
- Bonus Round: 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.
- "Die Hard" on an X: It's essentially Match Game WITH POETRY! To be fair, Match sometimes did questions involving rhyming couplets.
- Game Show Winnings Cap: Five wins.
- Grand Finale: Rhyme's finale was rather unique as the panelists made it clear that the show was canned...by destroying the set as the credits rolled.
- 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.
- Precision F-Strike: "When Nipsey tells a poem, it's usually a ZINGER..."Jaye P. Morgan: We didn't give him a hand, but we gave him the finger.
- Recycled Soundtrack: The pilot's reveal cue for the rhyme is straight from The Joker's Wild, among other things.
