H/H match update and End-of-Week Recap: ... ~~~Today's Action: Our latest champion had just won her first game as time ran out on the previous show. So we start off today with her debut trip to the Super-Match. *Today's (first) audience match question: "________Motion"* (My thoughts: Loco, Slow, Backfield in) The celebs: Barbara (Perpetual), Richard (Slow), Arte (Man in) The choice: Slow The answers: Perpetual, Loco-, Slow Who will our new champion choose for a shot at winning five grand? I imagine Richard, despite his recent string of bad luck (he's missed all three of his questions so far this week)... Yup. This is King Richard's second consecutive play again, and he's been chosen 108 of the past 119 times. (Charles answered three of the remaining questions, Fannie also took three, and Rosemary Forsyth, Nipsey Russell, Meg Bennett, Scoey Mitchell, and Brett got one each.) Stats: Richard has matched 69 of his 163 most recent attempts (42.3%), 52 of his last 120 attempts (43.3%), 32 of his last 70 attempts (45.7%), and 8 of his last 23 attempts (34.8%). His overall success rate is 41.7% and this is his 641st attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 33 of his 66 attempts (50.0%), Brett has matched 29 of her 69 attempts (42.0%), and Patti has matched one of her two attempts. Neither Barbara nor Arte has yet had a chance to answer a head-to-head question. *Today's H/H question: "Ounce of ________"* (This sounds almost too easy. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. What else is there? I'll say "Prevention.") Richard finishes his answer in his typical timely fashion, and then looks over at Patti. This time he also looks over at Barbara before filing his card. He looks somewhat tentative today, though... The contestant says all she can think of is "an ounce of prevention." (I still haven't thought of anything else, either.) The audience approves. It still sounds like an easy winner today. What? Really? Richard says he couldn't think of anything and simply wrote "Gold." I am really surprised. Oh well, we all draw blanks from time to time, even King Richard. No H/H match today. ~~~ Our champion's reign is cut short when Charles doesn't give her a "Toilet." She departs after a single victory and $600 in prize money. *Today's (second) audience match question: "Pip ________"* (My thoughts: Squeak, -pi Longstocking, ???) The celebs: Richard (Squeak), Charles (-s), Brett (-pin) (Yikes, there's only one good answer to this question!) The choice: Squeak The answers: Peroo, Pip, Squeak Our newest champion starts off with a cool $500 win. Her shot at $5,000 will have to wait, though... ~~~The Week that Was: We had two H/H questions on "Tuesday," but ran out of time on "Thursday," so we finished the week with five. Sadly, there was only one match all week long: Richard 0/4, Brett 1/1 This is now the third week in a row in which at least one other celeb other than Richard has had a shot at a H/H question. Quickly recapping this week's panelists: *Richard* had a dismal week, missing all four of his attempts. He ends the week with a good 41.7% accuracy overall, but has dropped behind Brett yet again, trailing every celebrity now, except for Bert Convy. *Brett* got to play for the first time since 858, and her match (in 982) pulled her back ahead of Richard again (but not by much). She now stands at a good 42.0% H/H accuracy rating. *Charles* sat idle for his seventh consecutive week, and he remains locked in that tie with Betty at 50.0%. *Patti* Deutsch finished her 31st week of 42. No H/H question for her this week, so her stats hold steady at one match in two attempts. *Barbara* Rhoades completed her second week (of 7) without seeing any H/H action. *Arte* Johnson completed his second week (of 4), also never playing a head-to-head question. ~~~Looking ahead, these are the faces we'll see joining our three stalwart regulars next week: -----Semi-regular Fannie Flagg will return after a single week away for her 59th week of 90. Fannie will start the week with an excellent 48.3% H/H accuracy rating. -----Avery Schreiber will join the panel for his 10th week (of 14 total). Avery last visited in episodes 886-890 and has never been chosen for the H/H. -----Last but not least, Jo Ann Harris will make her Match Game debut. (Her second and final week comes in episodes 1276-1280.) ~~~Finally, here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 71.4% (5 wins in 7 attempts). TIE: Charles - 50.0% (33 wins in 66 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). Fannie - 48.3% (14 wins in 29 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 42.0% (29 wins in 69 attempts). Richard - 41.7% (267 wins in 641 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 985, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, and 910. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!") -- Also, note that episode 849 was never produced. Additionally, these stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969.
Here are the results for this week: Brett won this week giving away the most money at a total of $5,500. Richard gave away $1,500 and Charles gave away $500. Richard matched the most at a total of 12 matches. Brett matched 11 times, Charles and Barbara matched 10 times, Arte matched 8 times, and Patti matched 6 times.
I saw Barbara Rhodes on 3 Sanford and Son episodes in a bikini when they were in Hawaii and her being on a show, which by the way was a huge flop, called Bustin Loose was definitely a good description of her. And she is married to Bernie Orenstein, one of the producers of SandS. And they are both still with us.
@@CharlesWhite-wh4cc you are a nasty person and don't deserve to be on this comment section. Think before you type. It's a game show and Brett was only having FUN.
Glad Linda lost. I didn't like all the faces she made with wrong answers and getting tied up. Her reaction to Barbara when she gave a choice was a tad rude.
12:07 Charles refuses to answer a question about Anita Bryant! Gene and the panelists seem to be in on the joke. I wonder how many of the viewers were?
I am inclined to believe that they avoided any reference to recent hit songs like the plague. Especially rock. The few artists they had in the panel were NEVER rockers.
These days people 30-40 years apart are likely to like a lot of the same music. In the '60s and '70s as far as people who grew up with Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore were concerned Little Eva might as well have been the Sex Pistols
@@danicegewiss862 I thought I read she had a whole campaign and tour. Something about a law or laws. I know that people ruined her career as a result. She did cause a lot of harm too, but I feel bad for her. I thought I read about her son (?) making a comment that "If she still felt that way, she'd be more outspoken about it." Something like that. :(
"We have a boy so the pressure is off. It can be either one." Wow. I was 10 years old in 1977 and this still shocks me. I guess we have come a long way.
It was about this time that the gay community started to assert itself. The backlash against the normalization of this lifestyle was viewed as hatred toward people but in fact, the opposite was (and still is) true. In fact, those who push for normalization tend to be the bigots who hate (and do violence to) people who are not like them. Anita Bryant never did violence to nor did she advocate violence against anybody. She merely maintained the logical position that that lifestyle is indeed NOT normal (in fact, it is evolutionarily fatal). But many acts of violence were done against her personally and to her family.
I was wondering what the whole anita Bryant thing was about. So, it sounds like she was anti-gay or am I getting it wrong. Is that why people attack her and her family? I don't remember her at all. but in 77 I was like 8 yrs old.
@@40bpaula - Anti-homosexuality. Anti-gay sounds like it's describing a person who hates other people (maybe). That's not the idea at all. We can love others but not approve of what they do. God loved the people who crucified His Son. We have to do the math on that one to understand love.
Barbara Rhoades was gorgeous.

"WHO?" #dead
07:08 CNR does the "clerk stamp". He used to do it frequently, but then Brett stole it some time ago & he pretty much quit it.
No, they were good friends they took things like that from each other. It's fun banter.
She has to steal she has no original ideas
@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687 wish your banter was fun
@@garfield2439 Grow UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW it's a late in life for that; but for heaven's sake, can't you at least, TRY
Brett must have lived in a box. Locomotion was a hit song around that time.
1962

Glad Linda lost. I didn't like all the faces she made with wrong answers and getting tied up. Her reaction to Barbara when she gave a choice was a tad rude.
“Far be it for me...” becoming the catchphrase of the week.
The phrase goes "Far be it FROM me..."
3:40 That's what I thought, from the song "Do The Locomotion".
Locomotion was a song by Little Eva
It was also done in 1974 by the Grand Funk Dailroad
12:07 Charles refuses to answer a question about Anita Bryant! Gene and the panelists seem to be in on the joke. I wonder how many of the viewers were?
I had to look up who Anita Bryant even was. Having done so, this round is a lot more funny.
I like his answer ("Who?") and Patti's.
Anita Bryant was anti-gay but change her stance years later
@@desertbreeze69 It's fair to say her stance has softened somewhat since then.
EVERYONE was in on the joke. Anita Bryant's views were front-page news back then.
how cute are brett and charles? i just love them!❤️
Me too. ❤
They remind me of my grandma the real estate agent and her interior decorator friend Julian.
Not Brett
One out of two ain't bad.
I love the two of them together!
Locomotion was a song n dance by little Eva think Brett would have known that
I am inclined to believe that they avoided any reference to recent hit songs like the plague. Especially rock. The few artists they had in the panel were NEVER rockers.
Grand Funk Railroad came to me for Loco Motion ( 1974)
These days people 30-40 years apart are likely to like a lot of the same music. In the '60s and '70s as far as people who grew up with Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore were concerned Little Eva might as well have been the Sex Pistols
Ever since Charles started the multiple card answers Bret just can’t stop from doing it!🙄 She so annoying.
And if Brett was thinking more cards would improve her answers, she needs a lot more cards.
Is she finished with her play? 😂
I thought that Brett was the one that started the multiple card answers.
@@antster1983 Shut up, Susan!
@@MrMatteNWk Wait a minute! I gotta have a drinkypoo...🥃
So, Anita Bryant was the Ann Coulter/Doctor Laura of 1977.
Not so much.
She made a comment that offended many people around that time about gay people.

"We have a boy so the pressure is off. It can be either one." Wow. I was 10 years old in 1977 and this still shocks me. I guess we have come a long way.
How far? The male still carries the family name.
Every woman wants to give her husband a boy. My sister gave her husband 2. The first one was named after him, as was, and still is, common.
Didn't Richard wear that SAME outfit in the previous episode? 🤔
Not laundry day yet
What would you call that face that Patty Deutsch makes in the intro?
2Majesties always reminds me of eyore
