Too dirty? Not dirty enough?

I've heard a zillion complaints about Steve Harvey's Family Feud getting too dirty. So now I have to listen to complaints about another game show being too clean.

The show is the new Canadian version of Match Game. A pundit in the great white north seems to think the show is too tame by modern standards, whatever those standards are. From what I've seen on YouTube, the show does seem a little bland. But that's only because the panelists aren't enormously funny, either dirty funny or clean funny.

The show isn't terrible. It's pleasant enough and doesn't send you scampering away from the screen. What humor there is, is mildly off-color but hardly obnoxious.

The linked article complains that no panelist makes a particularly noteworthy impression. A fair enough gripe, I guess, though Sean Cullen does his best to grab attention. The article does offer a compliment for the host's wardrobe. At least Darrin Rose is dressed for success.
