They caught lightning in a bottle: the "celebrities" you never heard of, the jokes, antics, all at 3:30 p.m. after school or during the summer when everyone just had to tune in. A show like this would be impossible today. Probably the best daytime show of all time.
I had a friend in college who's dad was a cameraman on the show and he said that they would shoots all these show back to back in a day and there was a lot of drinking onset so they would be hammered by the end of day, hence all the flubs.
My understanding was that a weeks worth of five shows were shot in one day. However, I believe they said that three were filmed before the "dinner break" and two after. Therefore those that were shot later in the day were after more alcohol was consumed and people were more intoxicated.
@@josephpapai5867 well the drinking back stage between takes sure made for a great time on set and a funny, funny show for the audience. A bug thanks to Gene, Brett ,Charles ,Richard, Betty , Fannie., Elaine, Bobby and all the other great stars who graced the show. RIP to all those who are no longer living and a BIG THANKS
I used to watch this after school. It put a huge smile on my face. I think Betty White is the only person from that show, both cast, and contestants, that's still alive. She will outlive everyone.
Elaine Joyce is still alive, so is Jo Ann Pflug, Fannie Flagg and Joyce Bulifant as of New Year's 2021. A few other guests from the 1973-82 version are still around.
@@dirtyoldman7356 True. It just seems like we've lost so many, lately. It's odd how we forget that celebrities age, just like everyone else. I believe Alan Hale was on the show, as was Bob, was Dawn ever on? IMDbing it now.
@@dirtyoldman7356 Nope, Alan wasn't, but he was on Family Feud and The New Hollywood Squares. Bob was on Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour. Jim Backus was. Dawn wasn't, nor was Natalie, Tina, or Russell.
Gene Rayburn was an absolute pirate, and Brett, Charles, Richard, Betty, and the rest were his dread pirate crew. Even 50ish years later, this show is an absolute riot and I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to be a contestant, cast member, or crew member.
We knew this in the uk and ireland as blankety blank. It was based on this show and ran from 1979 to 1985 then came back in the 90's. It started again now.
These clips are very funny, those stars were really crazy and so were the panelists were nervous about being on the show and at least they got the money and it has the greatest stars since Hollywood Squares
19:22 you hear the deep tone Price Is Right buzzer. Just so anybody doesn't know. Both of these shows taped in the same studio, that's why you hear the same dings, buzzer tones, etc.
A finishing school is a school for young women that focuses on teaching social graces and upper-class cultural rites as a preparation for entry into society ...
back when public drunkenness ,Cheek in tongue sex remarks ,and smoking in public was acceptable... now you can't shit,fart,or cough without offending someone
A game show that was beyond politically incorrect, where you could smoke cigarettes and drink cocktails and that was totally fine. Man, I miss my youth.
I just wanted to say thank you for going back and reading people's comments is what makes a difference in a good upload and a great one! Keep up the great work!

Could you imagine working on this show? It feels like every episode was just a mad house, lol.
Ikr.
prop Brett up every hour and be fine.
@@Beanrock124 Oh,the craziness BEFORE the actual video tape rolling! And the production meetings,oh boy!!
Richard Dawson got the short end of the stick with the finishing school episode.Ira was an idiot not letting that one match.
It'll be a blast.
The funniest game show of all time. It was so raw and genuine. Gene was the perfect host.
I love it raw!
gene would be a TERRIBLE host in 2022
@@lilsminingco4682 he'd be so much better than the idiots now.
These clips from the original match game is the reason why Gene Rayburn was the FUNNIEST game show host EVER!!!
I know I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
Match Game and Gene Rayburn.. perfect together!
Not technically the original since this was a revival of the 60's version, but I do agree, he was one of a kind.
I had a friend in college who's dad was a cameraman on the show and he said that they would shoots all these show back to back in a day and there was a lot of drinking onset so they would be hammered by the end of day, hence all the flubs.
Wow! I guess now I know why some people say "You learn new things everyday!".

Unprofessional
Best game show - even today! I watch the reruns everyday. They had their nitche like no other! They had far more freedom to be themselves back then.
“I beg your pardon”
Pretty much sums up this entire video.

Rest In Peace Betty White! Now they can finally have the whole panel playing together! I’m sure they’ve been waiting for her 💕
Everytime i hear the 70s style theme i just wanna dance to it man this version of match game is a treasure
I love Richard Dawson's answer at 22:23! Probably the only time you could get away with saying that on TV in those days.
LOVE this show! Was on all through my high school years.
Occasionally, they get around to playing the game.
Wish the games shows today were funny and really entertaining as the ones in the past.
These clips are the reason why there will NEVER be a true comeback for Match Game...all this chemistry is gone
Just like my UA-cam channel! jk
@@Beanrock124 I don't think that the other Match Game versions after 1982 held a candle to the CBS daytime version.Preserve the tapes!
The recent version with host Alec Baldwin stunk.
18:55 when a contestant knows the show more then the host 😂😂😂😂
I loved Charles Nelson Riley, just the way he was.
Me too! He was so much fun 😊
I loved Rip Taylor and Paul Lynne too
Just wait until a rotten answer wins the contestant the grand prize
1:26 Gene's reaction in this clip is my favorite by far.
That scowl on Gene's face😂😂
Man what a simple time
Gene Rayburn was an absolute pirate, and Brett, Charles, Richard, Betty, and the rest were his dread pirate crew. Even 50ish years later, this show is an absolute riot and I can only imagine how much fun it must have been to be a contestant, cast member, or crew member.
I love Betty White's facial expression 1:55.
Lol, Agreed!
Her embarrassed reaction for not saying "pass-word". In fact I think her husband, Allen Ludden, was seated in the audience.
11:01: RIP all headphone users using headphones on very loud volume.
I would have thought it would be possible to monitor and balance volume levels!
Nah, I created this video when I didn’t have the best knowledge of editing. But now I do!
Greatest game show of all time.
9:54 Is that Carl Sagan?
Charles Nelson reilly could joke about being gay and nobody got offended . Those were the days.
Why didn't they match NIGHT SCHOOL for school?
So funny. Loved this show! Gene Rayburn, the best!!!
And that's why match game is my favorite game show on game show network.
These are so lovely. Thank you *so* much for doing this.
"you're gonna have to leave now, marge!"
Lol
13:00 Good ol' Richard may join Brett on the crusade against the man on the buzzer if he's not careful!
Oral exam is probably the best answer I’ve seen on here
Man I miss these people.
That was great. So many memories! Thank you for sharing this.
No political correctness - I love it.
This is so funny! Thanks for posting!

Never heard of it! Cool!
Fcutdlady Do you enjoy the American version?
Terry Wogan was a fine presenter, but Les Dawson was much funnier.
35:46 Stunned. Just stunned.
Stunned, is the only way to describe how, stunned I am!

Bob Barker was occasionally on the show.
I use the price is right ting as my text chime
@@kencummings953 And he was terrific,too, especially when he made Price Is Right references and mentioning Johnny Olson on occasion.
They got drunk at lunch.
I had to stop before it was halfway through it. One minute you can't hear it the next it blows the roof off the place.
I loved the weird 70's microphones
These montage is so funny, I _____-ed!
Coo coo friend and olly lmaoooooooo
Greatest game show ever!!
A finishing school is a school for young women that focuses on teaching social graces and upper-class cultural rites as a preparation for entry into society ...
Love match game!
These folks were often drunk.
Very funny!
fun with Patti and when Brett has one drink too much.
Bad answer!
Nice!
Drinks definitely flowed on that classic show what a blast the 70s was
yes, and find the other funny tv moments as well
back when public drunkenness ,Cheek in tongue sex remarks ,and smoking in public was acceptable...
now you can't shit,fart,or cough without offending someone
😂😂😂😂 how sad that its true i wonder where the FCC is at i see stuff that shouldn't be on
Charles killed Gene!!!
I can’t believe how many views this video got!
Wait, aren’t you the same travel time that commented on my comment on Journey’s live performance of Don’t Stop Believin’ in Houston?
25:25 I thought Fannie Flagg trended towards the Sapphic ....
Yep, she’s gay. But that dude was very good looking so who could blame her?
Jo Ann Pflug was a smoking hot woman back in the day.
20:49 BETTY WHITE FORGETS WHO SHE’S MARRIED TO. 😂
A game show that was beyond politically incorrect, where you could smoke cigarettes and drink cocktails and that was totally fine. Man, I miss my youth.
1st of all match game started in 1973...called match game 73"
16:24 - this show was way ahead of its time they even predicted Trump! Betty was in a lot of these - RIP American sweetheart
You mean they predicted a great man who went through hell to help the people of his country?
15:59 hahaha 😂😂😂
I don’t think there gonna be another match game episode where a misprint or a misspelled word happens
That might be true!
Gene Rayburne was a god.
16:24 😂😂😂
23:03 MEOW!
I don’t understand the cultured pearls one?? What does finishing school mean?
$5600 Today: $29,000
LOLOLOLOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That kris was quite something then again richard should know a good woman when he sees one he kissed enough of them lol
haleluyah
hello very nice.. how u got so many views any suggestion for any website or app?
No, I just upload videos and they go out to the people who want to watch them.
I upload weather forecast videos, and that's probably how people find out about my UA-cam channel.
I remember America
Is Richard flipping the bird at 5:57?
I have no idea.
It looks like he is.
@@Beanrock124 thanks for going back and looking.
I just wanted to say thank you for going back and reading people's comments is what makes a difference in a good upload and a great one! Keep up the great work!
@@christybradfield7812 thanks!
Was everyone just drunk? Serious question!
For the most part, yes!
Yes
16:23
I don't really want to know how CBS execs let this show air for however long it did. They just said, "Do whatever the f**k you want here", I guess.
What’s the episode that the guy mistaken dress for breasts?
I forgot the name. Sorry.
@@Beanrock124 Roger Dobkowitz, I believe.
15:15 what match game was this?
I’m pretty sure it’s from match game 75
2:49
Paris (blank?) .... really?
Hilton
Nathan's Journey?
That was my old channel name and it was really cringy.
@@Beanrock124 it's awesome
What other answer for Paris ______ would there be other than France (37:57)?
Keep in mind that Paris Hilton wasn't even born yet. Lol
Paris, Ontario!!!
Paris, Texas but I doubt the writers expected anyone to say that. Had to have some easy ones to make some moments (and ratings)!
Sucks?
23:11
Sandy B. Fine. 🙂
Back when things were so much better.
