I can relate to Carol's car story. Had to bum rides until I finally had a beater car of my own, and then I offered to folks I knew didn't have their own yet. Felt good to be the giver/ granter of rides.
Oh my gosh!! I knew that I was familiar with the name. But I didn’t know why! lol. Thank you for pointing that out! I love the line, “Alright, that does it! Out you two pixies go! Out the door or through the window!” Haha.
@@mj6962 Later in the 1950s and 1960s, he established a reputation as a producer of many successful television series, often in partnership with Danny Thomas. These included The Danny Thomas Show (aka Make Room For Daddy) (1953-64), The Andy Griffith Show (1960-68), Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. (1964-69), and I Spy (1965-68). Also The Dick Van Dyke Show. His name was very prominent in the credits of those shows.
I love it when Louisa mentions "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to no response at all from the audience. It wouldn't be released for a couple months and at this point probably sounded like some weird little art film nobody would ever see
H/H match update: ... It's week 114 of our favorite classic game show (these episodes originally aired in mid-October 1975), and our stalwart regulars Brett, Charles, and Richard are joined by semi-regular Fannie for a second week in a row! It's rare for a semi-regular to appear on two consecutive weeks, although Fannie did it once before, in episodes 461-470. Also back is Louisa Moritz, making her third and final week of appearances. She hasn't had a shot at the H/H match yet. Rounding out the panel is "new kid on the block" Sheldon Leonard. This is his one and only week on Match Game '7x. (Gene didn't give him the traditional new-celebrity welcome, though.) Well, last week saw a little variety in the H/H matches (Brett and Fannie got to play - and match! - in addition to Richard), but as we start this week, Mr. Dawson has played 20 of the past 25 H/H matches (matching 9 of those 20 times). Well, let's see which celebs get a shot at the head-to-head match this week! ...We start the week with a brand-new champion, and at first I though he might be a somewhat unconventional contestant in his celebrity choices, because his called on Sheldon first for an audience match suggestion, and then Fannie... and then Richard. He (wisely) chose Sheldon's answer and won the $500. But then he went the conventional route and chose Richard for the head-to-head match. Today's question: "Cole ________" This sounded like another super-easy H/H match to me. I thought of Cole Porter the second Gene spelled the question, and I truly expected them both to give the same answer. While the music was playing, I did think of cole slaw but wasn't tempted to change my answer. After Gene spelled the question, Richard wrote something right away. The contestant said all he could think of was Cole Porter. And then Richard promptly revealed his card, and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. He'd written "slaw"! (I tend to match Brett and Charles more than Richard. I have no way of knowing, but I suspect that both Brett and CNR would have come up with Cole Porter.) Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Fannie - 52.6% (10 wins in 19 attempts). Betty - 46.9% (15 wins in 32 attempts). Charles - 45.2% (19 wins in 42 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 39.1% (122 wins in 312 attempts). Brett - 38.8% (19 wins in 49 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 566, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (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!")
I wonder what babies born in the 2010s will think in decades to come, looking back at fathers with shaved heads or messy hair, scruffy unkempt faces, wearing clothes that look like they shrank two sizes too small in the dryer?
On this date in 1961, The Broadway play Bye Bye Birdie lasts performance with Charles Nelson Reilly as Mr Henkel, standby Albert Peterson and Gene Rayburn as Albert Peterson had it's last performance..
Sheldon Leonard played Nick the bartender in _It's a Wonderful Life_. He had a lot of minor roles over the years. Nick is definitely his most remembered role.
I also noticed that when Luisa mentioned one flew over the cuckoos nest, no one said anything. It came out November in 1975 is when the film was released. Lots of great talent in that movie one of my favorites.
I was so surprised MG cast a famous successful producer on the panel. Had no idea Sheldon Leonard did so many gigs as an actor!! He was a show business renaissance person! Like Lucille Ball.
Had Sheldon appeared on the show before? I don't remember seeing him before. And usually for new guest stars Gene tells the panel/audience to give the new guest a welcoming round of applause.
Interesting you are right, I don't have him appearing anytime before this. Maybe in the next episode Gene will correct this and remember he is a new kid on the block.. ;0)
This week was his only appearance on Match Game '7x. He did appear on a couple of Match Game PM episodes (which I believe were taped concurrently with this week's shows).
The film that Louisa Moritz mentions with Jack Nicholson is of course the classic One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest where she plays his hooker girlfriend. I'd completely forgotten that she was in that!
@@crissrudd4554 that's not nice, and not true. She also lost with Richard the time before that. I would have said floor mat, which noone thought of. And Brett usually has the best answer, and she matches most of her times and if they don't match, it's usually the contestant.
@@crissrudd4554 She wouldn't even have been there to match or not with Brett if Richard had given a better answer in the super match before that. I agree that sometimes Brett can be a bit much, but this blame-her-for-everything double standard is ridiculous.
Boy, with those looks, and that gentle voice, I''ll bet the kids loved Rick! Some of the older girls must have had crushes on him. Maybe some of the boys, two...
Sheldon, that was a logical, erudite answer! Believe it or not, it occurred to me as well. But it's not funny, and it's totally wrong for the tone of the show. More boobs, please.
They matched Fat Phyllis with ... a weight loss program or spa. (It certainly would have been kinder than matching her with an animal.) "Coleslaw"? Well, I guess it could have been worse. Somebody could have come up with "Cole Oyl" (Olive Oyl's father in the Popeye comics).
I'm always amazed that they let them smoke on stage. Panty or panty hose is two answers Charles, good thing neither one matched. I hope that winner has a boy, Dannybrook is no name for a girl.
ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Fannie! :0) ROFL! Love the entrances, silliness, voices, acting and the fun Gene! ;0) hippo! ;0) elephant! ;0) blimp! ;0) Repeat question? ;0) bust! ;0) boo! ;0) seven veils! :0) panty hose! ;0) head! ;0) I'll have to shot down you bird of paradise. It bites! ;0) It will bite, then I will have to keep my distance then.. ;0) dress! ;0) spoon! ;0) person! ;0) This grasshopper met this aunt and he said hey to you
Richard Dawson's Sheldon Leonard impression is EXCELLENT!
I can relate to Carol's car story. Had to bum rides until I finally had a beater car of my own, and then I offered to folks I knew didn't have their own yet. Felt good to be the giver/ granter of rides.
Whenever I see Sheldon Leonard. I think of the film It's a Wonderful Life where he played the bartender Nick
OH YEAH! I forgot about that! It's getting to be the season for that movie too! Good call!

I immediately thought of coleslaw, then I thought of Cole Porter, then I figured coleslaw was likelier to match.
10:18 Sheldon Leonard talks then 11:24 Richard Dawson did a good Sheldon Leonard impression. Lol
I wonder what the 43 year old baby thinks seeing his/her dad with all that hair and the brown suit with huge lapels?
I wonder what babies born in the 2010s will think in decades to come, looking back at fathers with shaved heads or messy hair, scruffy unkempt faces, wearing clothes that look like they shrank two sizes too small in the dryer?
On this date in 1961, The Broadway play Bye Bye Birdie lasts performance with Charles Nelson Reilly as Mr Henkel, standby Albert Peterson and Gene Rayburn as Albert Peterson had it's last performance..
My mom was fat...and her name was Phyllis! Lol I wonder if she met the writers back in '75! 🤔😆
On this date in 1970, The tv show McCloud episode The Stage Is All The World with Richard Dawson as Ted Callender aired.
Sheldon Leonard played Nick the bartender in _It's a Wonderful Life_. He had a lot of minor roles over the years. Nick is definitely his most remembered role.
Wasn't he one of the producers of the Dick Van Dyke Show? I think he spent a lot of time behind the camera.
I also noticed that when Luisa mentioned one flew over the cuckoos nest, no one said anything. It came out November in 1975 is when the film was released. Lots of great talent in that movie one of my favorites.
I ❤ Sheldon Leonard. Extremely funny & talented man.
I love it... Fannie 2 wks in a row
I was so surprised MG cast a famous successful producer on the panel. Had no idea Sheldon Leonard did so many gigs as an actor!! He was a show business renaissance person! Like Lucille Ball.
Some very high profile did appear. But I did wonder if he was a last minute fill in.
Good job, Carol!
I'm old enough to have gotten the Sheldon Leonard reference on The Big Bang Theory.
I thought for sure that the obvious answer for the Dr. Quackenbush question was "WIFE".
Had Sheldon appeared on the show before? I don't remember seeing him before. And usually for new guest stars Gene tells the panel/audience to give the new guest a welcoming round of applause.
Interesting you are right, I don't have him appearing anytime before this. Maybe in the next episode Gene will correct this and remember he is a new kid on the block.. ;0)
He was on before. I don't remember the week but I remember seeing him. (I'm watching all the shows in order.)
Don't forget the kiss...

Very pretty.
A week and 2 days that's how long she's been champion
She would have walked away with $25K had she not picked Brett last time
Her final total, adjusted for inflation, would be almost $100,000 today.
$120,000 in today's money.

Fly #1: Hey Waiter! What's this fly doing in my soup?"
Waiter: "Listening."
At 19:35 I actually .... ACT CHEWALLY, covered my face with BOTH hands and moaned “OH, NooOOOooo!”
Boy, with those looks, and that gentle voice, I''ll bet the kids loved Rick! Some of the older girls must have had crushes on him. Maybe some of the boys, two...
Sheldon, that was a logical, erudite answer! Believe it or not, it occurred to me as well. But it's not funny, and it's totally wrong for the tone of the show. More boobs, please.
But he caught on fast, didn't he?
19:02 " Here we go, slide it Earl "
Sheldon Leonard. Cool.
Is Louisa slurring her speech?
Yes. And this was the first taping of the day.
So weird because on the fly question, I thought watch someone say spoon? And he said spoon!
Wouldn't that fly say: "HEY WAITER! There's a fly in my soup!??
“I beg your pardon?!!” during a question about setting up a fat woman with a whale and/or blimp. Welcome to 1975.
Believe it or not, the world used to have standards.

"Coleslaw"? Well, I guess it could have been worse. Somebody could have come up with "Cole Oyl" (Olive Oyl's father in the Popeye comics).
Marvin (man) went to psychiatrist
So nurse is a good answer
How odd that Brett feels compelled to loudly announce every one of her thoughts?
Her mouth precedes her brain after she’s has a couple too many.
@@randydellinger2996 - And even before she's even had ANY!
Stop being so nasty towards Brett.
And I can imagine neither of you guys, would anyone want to hang around. 🤐😝
I noticed that too. She dont care who talking, if she thinks she can get a laugh. And it always the same stupid remark.
Seven vials, who the hell is going to say that?
It was seven veils, as in scarves. Still, even Gene called it an obtuse answer
Bed? How did she ever win so many games?
She may have been getting tired. I'm sure it gets stressful and nerve racking. And she had a lot of great answers and luck 😊

She became an attorney as well as being an actress.
I'm always amazed that they let them smoke on stage.
Panty or panty hose is two answers Charles, good thing neither one matched.
I hope that winner has a boy, Dannybrook is no name for a girl.
Perhaps it was to be Dani Brooke, which is certainly a very nice name for a girl, and would of been a trend setter back then.
You use to be able to smoke everywhere. We even had commercials for cigarettes...back in the day. And then people started suing cigarette makers.
