- This episode features the glasses Charles would wear on Match Game 75. We never saw these glasses until Charles returns in mid 1975. They were never worn again on Match Game 73 or Match Game 74.
Pat Harrington, Brett Somers. Charles Nelson Reilly, Jo Ann Pflug, Richard Dawson, Betty White - Розваги
It's so fun to see these 70's stars. I'm sorry to hear of Pat Harrington's passing.
Speaking of Pat Harrington - he looks like a test pattern !! WHO told him that looked cool?? Not even by 1973 standards !! Also speaking of Brett Sommers - in the words of Mel Blanc Awwww Shaddup!!
I never get tired of JoAnn Pflug's lovely face and megawatt smile.
She was a good contestant and had a really nice presence and manner.
Pflugin AMAZING!!!!
@@DJRitty She would have never gotten away with that shirt today. First, smokes obviously, second, free advertising. That's worse than the first one.
Debut week of actor and voiceover artist Pat Harrington Jr. on Match Game. He would appear in one more week in 1974. At the time of this show, Harrington had a recurring role in the ABC drama "Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law".
Sixth week for CNR, and his last before returning as a regular in December. Fourth and final week of Jo Ann Pflug in 1973. She'd be back for more in '74. Hey, that rhymed! Fifth week for Betty White. Pflug and White are the two remaining panelists from this week.
It's funny I only know him as Schnieder lol
18:05 Charles: "the Chinese wasn't that good but this was clever"
LOL gotta love CNR! He could actually get Gene to laugh at himself, rather than just laugh at his own jokes.
I've noticed Gene loves his own jokes it bugs me
Contestant Chaplain Schultz, along with an illustrious career in the Military also obtained four Master degrees and two Doctorate degrees. He also somehow found time to be an extra in many commercials and feature movies as an extra. Quite a full life. Sadly he passed in 2007.
She was absolutely beautiful. How Chuck Woolery let her get a way I'll never know! lol
He was an idiot. Remember, he also walked away from Wheel of Fortune over money a few years before the show exploded. Of course who knows if it would have done as well with him or it was the unique pairing of Pat Sajak and Vanna White.
Was a funny showed , loved Betty White
I love you MatchGameProductions!!!!
Lol..imagine everybody trying to keep the innuendos to a minimum with the Chaplin on there.
Exactly. The first question screams out for "bra" and I have to give Richard credit for being the only one to write that obvious answer.
Couldn't place Pat Harrington until I heard his voice. Building superintendant from One Day at a Time.
I loved him in that.

Love it! Any Comedy Gold episodes are very much appreciated!
CNR really knows how to rock an ascot!!! 👍👍😛
Montgomery Wards Christmas Catalog/Wish Book~ I miss those days! Flavored Tootsie Rolls are awesome too!!!
RIP SCHNEIDER. All my late mother's contemporaries born during the Great Depression are all leaving us now. That makes me very sad:-(
Very depressing. Really.
Virtually every single one of my late parents' contemporaries are dead. They were born in 1913.
This episode might have set a record for terrible answers.
Pat Harrington (1929-2016) was perfectly cast on, 'One Day At A Time'.
Brad Stephan remember he was the voice of the Inspector in the cartoon?????
Love Gene Rayburn
Nice to see all of the final credits.
Wishing Well
apparently they hadn't heard of ginseng back then. it was about 20 years before we had viagra.
i believe vitamin e was all the rage at some point.
Too bad you can't get the entire SERIES this way! Way to go Canada!
He also wore them during the first few weeks of Match Game 76.
@ 15:39 it's almost like he knew betty's answer would be a close match. I would have said inkwell myself.
Feel well get well same thing. The judges didn't liked it, they played the safe way so they won't get fired.
Yes, if you consider the fact that GSN speeds up the show, doesn't air the credits, shows the same episodes to death, and deletes the departing contestant tags these days!
I didn't match Betty's answer either. The first thing I thought of for ______ WELL was "OIL".
Wishing Well, here.
Get well was a perfect response
"Tootsie Rolls now in a rainbow of five new flavors you can eat." Oh, you're supposed to EAT them?!? D'oh!
They are still around today and called Tootsie Roll Fruit Chews.
That is a pretty funny observation. "... you can eat" was a point addition, unless they were trying to make clear Tootsie Rolls weren't intended for patching drywall or something.
Jo Ann Pflug was so good on this show regularly... they should have kept her on a full time basis and bounced Brett.
I wonder why Chuck Woolery let Joann Pflug go??
I agree bounce Brett
Apparently the show became successful with Brett on it and like .0001 percent of the viewers agree with you. JoAnn was cool for temporary slots, which is why she was.
why give a sensible answer pastors/Chaplin have a sense of humor also.
I agree with Richard,,,,my answer would have been BRA
Quite picking on him!
16:13 I think she appeared on Press Your Luck circa 1984
I thought of Love American Style. Also what does Johnny say at the end of each show? "Stay tuned for Love Of Life, next over most of these CBS stations.". Also thought of Love is a Many Splendored Thing, which was another daytime soap. Have to be honest, didn't even think of Love Story. Also, in the head to head match, they wouldn't match "Get Well", with "Feel Well", but in earlier episode, the head to head match was "______ Driver". The contestant said "Cab Driver", and the celebrity said "Taxi Driver". Gene said they would have a been a match.
Did he say anything for this one? I don't recall. Must've missed it.
Earlier towards the start of the MG '73 run, Johnny would announce that The Secret Storm was up next. That soap is most notable due to Christina Crawford, and for Joan taking Christina's place on it for a time.
I not sure, did Ira answer the taxi/cab driver question thou when Gene asked him? That might be why Gene started to say it had to be an exact match..
When I watched this at 9/10 years I could never figure out who Brett Sommers was, and why she was always on it.
Celebrity has hit any of that era. And she had help, from many. 9-21-2021
Anyone else ever notice the contestants on this show tended to be young and attractive?
karlamae canine I.e., no old people? True...
You have to understand that, in this place and time, Match Game was very different from the game shows that older people were used to. CBS was trying to appeal to a younger audience (Google "rural purge"). So this version of the show, with its colorful set and funky music, was meant to attract a younger audience. Some of the celebrities were older, to appeal to older viewers, but this was mainly a show aimed at the young. It debuted when I was 8 years old, and I remember thinking it was so much more fun than most game shows! 🙂
works for me. it's not like this was jeopardy.
Is this the first time none of the celebs answers appeared and the contestant went with their own answer and won 500?
I don't believe so..
so someone did it within the first 70 episodes?
@@revinevan87 Not sure, I will have to run though MG73 again and see.. It seems so far that every time they were with someone answers instead of their own. Let me check. ;0)
One thing about CNR that always confused me was his "twisting of his glasses" trademark.
Pat: "I'd like to score one time" while looking at blond.
Gene: "Oh the funny eyes" while talking like a Chinese.
Contestant: "I taught school before meeting my husband" and quit to be a stay at home mom.
Wow - the early 70s!!!
I like how laid back it all seemed.
Gene doesn't have his skinny microphone in this one.
Not until MG74.. Or I believe episode 106, sorry..
Question, is there skin on a microphone? News to me! 9-21-2021
I've heard about that one - maybe I'll check it out sometime.
Gene without a microphone is like Brett without her laugh
He gets his mic in episode 116 I believe.. ;0)
did we have some drinks this episode? lol
There's a new version being produced in Canada that's currently airing on The Comedy Network. A lot of the episodes have been posted on UA-cam if you're interested.

Surprised they didn't get 'love-American style' because even now that came right to my mind
And
inkwell (guess MANY answers for that one)
I thought of "Well, well, well!" but threw it out for oil well. I think Betty's answer was the best one though.
Yes Betty White is game show queen!
Charles....if one ear is lower, you have a subluxation in your spine.
zimjun7 soooo not true!! Most people have an eye lower than the other, an ear lower than the other, one foot slightly larger than the other etc.
Jory Michelle Eyes and feet are a different matter. True, if our faces were identical on both sides, it would be like looking into a carnival mirror. If one ear is lower than the other, I should have said "quite often" the spine is out of line. ( the neck can affect you all the way down to your feet )
zimjun7 um... let me try ONE more time to word this so that you can understand. We are BORN with one eye smaller or lower, ALSO with on ear lower than the other... one breast smaller than the other, one foot smaller than the other.
NONE of this has anything to do with vertebral subluxation, which I am very familiar with. (I suffer from it in 3 places)
I'm sorry, if you don't want to admit it, but one ear lower than the other has nothing to do with the spine in MOST cases. We are all born that way!
In 2021, it's Viagra/Cialis, not vitamins 🍒🥕
I've now watched 73 games. Bret Somers is not good at this game! She must be good friends with Gene to keep coming back.
but she can be entertaining at times
Her husband asked gene to give her that job I read it somewhere
Why would it be up to Gene to decide who is on the panel? He was hired by Goodson and Todman just like the rest of them. As for Brett, they may have brought her on at the suggestion of Klugman, but they certainly wouldn't have kept her for 9 solid years just because they were nice people and too polite to fire her! Apparently it didn't matter to viewing audience that she wasn't a huge TV or movie star or perfect and sweet like Betty White ..certainly it helped make her more relatable.
Answers are a bit generic. Could it be because of a Chaplain? Hahahaha
When did this first air?
Oct 22, 1973..
1. Bed
2. Energy pills
3. Money
4. Sleeps
Those would have been my answers
Why and when did Charles leave?
Charles isn't a regular as yet, not until ep 106 so I guessing he has other comitments at this time keeping him from being on the show regular until around Christmas.. I was think mentioned earlier that he was doing a play I thought, but all the season could be running together now since I have almost all of them.. ;0)
Plus he was part of The Ghost And Mrs Muir. 9-21-2021
The audience didn't applaud the chaplain when he was first introduced. Probably because he said he was in Vietnam during the war and people at that time really disrespected those veterans. But come on..he's a priest
Also Gene and the celebs ignored his service. Not one thank you. I'm a bleeding heart liberal atheist but even I'd thank him for his service.
i'm a vet, it is only since desert storm that people started acknowledging the vets over and over again... after all, the draft was either still on or just ended, wasn't like folks were jumping up and down to go, mostly. And BTW most of us vets don't wanna hear the thanks except at appropriate times and places. Mostly, we went, we did our jobs, some of it really sucked and we don't want to be constantly reminded, a lot of us are working hard on being here and now.
With that said, I think Hollywood Squares and MG both failed to spend just a tiny bit more time getting to know the contestants. I think spending and extra minute at the beginning of each round would have help the audience invest more.
@@sailorbychoice1 I agree that the contestants don't get a chance to introduce themselves. It reminds of those first day of school things where you say your name, and a few interesting sentences about yourself and you move on. It's rather impersonal.
Be careful with those sweeping generalizations. A small minority of people openly showed their disrespect for Viet Nam veterans. *Most* people didn't say much either way, but were polite. It's apparently an unfortunately lost custom. It was a difficult time. Many people had loved ones who were drafted, but did not support the war, which was unpopular for good reason.
He's a minister, not a priest unless he's Episcopal or Catholic--but point taken. Of course, the 70s were a very anti-authoritarian time, and Vietnam really cooled enthusiasm for anything military. Also, the phrase "thank you for your service" wasn't in the common parlance in the 1970s. It just wasn't a think people said.
Wow, the host had quite a white line before filming the show..
This is the first taping for the day so too early as yet..
@Diane Newman Thank you..
Rossler-Schultz, round 1, question A: "I don't know which is worse: that he said pot, or that I said HAIR NET." (Bzzt!)
Question B: "It could be a match, but I don't think so; vitamins aren't really MEDICATION, are they?" (Judges' call)
Round 2, question B: "No, different thought entirely: I said his VITAL ORGANS." (Bzzt!)
Question A (if the judges buzzed medication): "Well, sure, since he works like a horse, of course he SLEEPS standing up." (Ding!)
Super Match, part 1: STORY
Part 2: WISHING
Schultz-Bream, round 1, question A: "'My dear Watson, why don't you watch where you're stepping? Now all the evidence is stuck to your SHOE.'" (Bzzt!)
Can you imagine the response to the confuscius bit in 2015?
+3506Dodge "Viagra" or "Cialis" would be the top responses.
+connfyoozed I meant the racism, not the sexuality. You don't get open racism like that anymore.
+3506Dodge It's no big deal. It's not the least bit racist. And the current crop of comics are so much edgier about race and sex than they've ever been. Have you ever seen a Comedy Central roast?
+2Majesties This was mainstream prime-time network tv, not some late night show on a cable channel. You would NOT see the Confucius bit anywhere in 2015.
Cable IS mainstream primetime television and has been for a couple of decades. I saw a recent episode of a sitcom showing two young caucasion girls dressed as geishas for halloween, bowing and affecting Japanese-like accents. Don't be ridiculous.

Free spirit butterfly flying ;0) ROFL! Another fine episode! :0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;O) ROFL! Love ya Charles! :0) ROFL! Love ya Betty! ;0) ROFL! Love the audience! ;0) hair dryer I just love the shirts that that the ladies wear on the show, especially Fannie.. ;0) Bar Love the voices Gene ;0) , miss it in the later episodes.. Wonder if he was told to stop or got letters.. And Gene being silly ;0) stand in.. A friend.. Playboy Mag..good book..I thought it was interesting, maybe Gene should changed the order when it comes to the second round since Brett seems to be the only one, at times, to have a different answer than the rest of the
panel. Haven't quite figure that one out.. ;0) Whose robbing this train? ;0) First time, I think, that Gene started to go between the panels. ;0) pimple..wallet.. Wound..nose..
Butterflies don't exist. But Flutterflies do exist. Why? There is zero butter in the bugs. But they do flutter! 9-21-2021
@@timothyball7502 If you want to be that literal, butterflies aren't bugs.
I dunno how Bret stayed on the show so long...she never understood anything.
Sadly, these days the Chinese humour of this episode would be considered offensive. I say that even today, it's just plain good humour.

pimple??? are they trying to help the contestant, sound funny or act stupid? pimple???
those were all awful answers, that was embarrassing to watch
Even in the early days Brett was Annoying
Gene Chinese...Gene play joke....🤦🏻♀️🙄🤨
Agreed. Absolute garbage.
Get rid of drama queen Brett Summers and keep JoAnn Pflug.
I'm probably the only person that finds Brett Somers hideous looking and personally irritating. I remember why I stopped watching that show. Because I had enough of her.
Baltimore Z-Wad
Lol...Good to know I'm not alone on this. I thought maybe I was just a mean old bastard.
Unfuckwithable Theophile -- no sir. I actually feel my face getting red & body temp. going up sometimes when I watch Match Game cuz of her. Not to mention the many of times I've cussed out the TV or my phone, depending what I was watching on, directed toward Brett's bitchiness & attention seeking
Baltimore Z-Wad
Wow! I thought I had it bad. She brings out the worst in us. Maybe she's a demon and she causes negative energy. I've kind of come to the point that I feel sorry for her. Anyone that acts like that has to be pretty fucked up. Plus I quit watching the show.
*****
Some people can tolerate her, some people think she's great. I find her irritating.
She got on my nerves more often than not, with her stalling, her "Oh, I got it, hon!", mugging for the camera. But, that's also what made the show. If she and Charles hadn't been there, it wouldn't have been the success it was!
I wonder how many asians took offense to their lousy impersonations? Today they'd never dare talk like that.
Murray Melander because political correctness works sooooo well.
I am sure Asians in the orient made fun of Americans all the time back then too.
@@dannyboyy8465 Yes, and I imagine they still do. And big deal, right? It's a relatively harmless way humans have of dealing with the unfamiliar.
aaaaaaaaaaaand it sucks. Big time! I just watched one. Horrible.
Gene had never heard of Camel brand cigarettes?
Jo Ann Pflug sure had some nice humps, if you know what I mean. 🥸
Mrs. Chuck Woolery.
