  1. Both hosts used microphones with windscreens, compared to in the series. The Match Game portion had three contestants competing instead of two. Presumably, contestants entered from the three steps that are placed in front of the giant wall on the center stage. The nameplates for the panelists were gray instead of red. The backdrop was completely blue, lacking the magenta. The set for the Hollywood Squares had way more blue than in the series, lacking yellow and red. The Head-to-Head Match was played differently: The player would choose a celebrity and either X or O. One tab revealed the celebrity, while the other revealed a dollar amount. Finding the dollar amount added to the pot, and allowed the player to keep choosing celebrities and tabs. Finding the name would result in the contestant playing the round with the celebrity. If the board was cleared, the contestant would play the round with the last celebrity he or she picked for up to $100,000.
  2. Premiere week. The show began its 9-month run at 3:00 p.m. EST, replacing the Merrill Heatter Production Fantasy, which was hosted by Peter Marshall, the original M.C. of The Hollywood Squares, and came on after the NBC Soap Another World. Since this was the premiere week, the returning champion in the Hollywood Squares portion was determined by drawing lots backstage, and Stacy Turner was chosen. Super Match wins: $500 (Jimmie) on Monday, $1,000 (Bill) on Tuesday, $250 (Jon) on Wednesday, $500 (Bill) on Thursday and $1,000 (Twyla) on Friday. Head-to-Head Match wins: None on Monday, $10,000 (Alison) on Tuesday, $5,000 (Alison) on Wednesday, $10,000 (Tom) on Thursday and $20,000 (Bill) on Friday.
  3. Square patterns now added on back side of answer cards for Match Game. Jon Bauman and Gene Rayburn are now introduced by Gene Wood for Hollywood Squares and Super Match respectively, with new camera angles accompanying these. Bauman now introduces the three new celebrities on the top row in the Squares portion. Halfway through this week, music now stops at the beginning of the Squares portion. Also halfway through this week, the edges on Bauman's podium in Squares are now yellow. Super Match wins: $250 (Bonnie) on Monday, $1,000 (Shannon) on Tuesday, $1,000 (Ed) on Wednesday, $1,000 (Jon) on Thursday and strikeout on Friday. Head-to-Head Match wins: $5,000 (Shannon) on Monday, none on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and $2,000 (Ed; $100x20) on Friday.

  6. Match Game and Hollywood Squares question cards now a darker shade of green and sky blue respectively. X's and O's in the back of the Hollywood Squares set now light up to indicate whose turn it was. Beginning-of-show explanation dropped. About halfway through, the green Round 2 toaster has been changed to red. Bill Carroll retired undefeated after five games on Friday with $26,825, so a new "returning champion" had to be selected. It was decided to bring back Laurie Ghose from the first week, who was disadvantaged, during her original run of three shows. After Laurie retired undefeated on Wednesday with $26,875, Felicia Eccles was selected from the drawing of lots.

  15. Opening banter between Gene & Jon dropped and both co-hosts now just go straight to their positions; iris-out added on Tuesday. Plugs for a Telephone Match giving home viewers the opportunity to win $5,000 and have a walk-on on an NBC soap opera were shown all this week. This contest somewhat duplicated the phone contest on the original version of The Match Game.

  17. George Gobel has a cane on Monday but was introduced at the panel area at the beginning for the rest of the week. Starting on the Wednesday show of this week, the camera now cuts to a celebrity chosen for Super Match instead of zooming in. The first five Telephone Match winners were announced this week for February Sweeps. On Monday it was Deborah Maddox of Ontario, California who won a total of $5,500 for matching Jon (Trash_____).
