@@janethartwig774 Actually Brett's answers were usually ON the mark. She's matched the contestant MANY times. It was Saint Richard who hardly ever matched anyone (and you watched the show regularly, you would KNOW that)
@@kristabrewer6736You dont watch the same show that the rest of us see. Its sad really. There is so much to comment on but not everyone is privileged to be able to discern the nuances of the game. Come into the light!
The notes have been a bit scarce this week, I apologise. Let's get back to it! Another week with another crazy contestant! Where do they find these people? This week was recorded on Sunday 23rd December 1973, the final recording date of 1973. This might explain Gene's slip-up. It's another week of debuts, and there are two of them! First up is Greg Morris, an actor who would forever be associated with his role as electronics expert Barney Collier in Mission: Impossible. He would later take up a regular role in Vega$. He also appeared in Dr. Kildare, The Twilight Zone, The Lieutenant, The Fugitive, The Streets of San Francisco, Sanford and Son, What's Happening!!, Wonder Woman, Quincy, The Fall Guy, The Jeffersons, Fantasy Island, TJ Hooker, Murder She Wrote and TekWar, the latter being his last appearance before his death in August 1996 of a brain tumour at the age of 62. Morris also appeared on that other Goodson-Todman staple Password and its successor Password Plus. Morris appeared sporadically on Match Game, in six weeks total between 1974 and 1978. The second debut is of British actress Juliet Mills, daughter of actor Sir John Mills and sister of Hayley Mills (she of The Parent Trap fame). Since she was a child, Juliet has been on stage and the big and little screens on either side of the Atlantic, in films such as The History of Mr. Polly, Carry On Jack and Oh! What a Lovely War. Her television credits include, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Sherlock Holmes (a 1960s adaptation by the BBC), Alias Smith and Jones, Harry O, Marcus Welby MD, Hawaii Five-O, Ellery Queen, Wonder Woman, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Hart to Hart, Dynasty, All My Children, Columbo, Passions (in which she had a main role), Wild At Heart, Hot in Cleveland and Time After Time. She's still very much in demand for acting. In 1975 Juliet Mills became an American citizen, something fellow Brit Richard Dawson wouldn't do until 1984. Juliet appeared in three weeks of Match Game throughout 1974-5, her third and final week being the New Year's week of episodes. In Charles's usual seat we have Morey Amsterdam making a welcome return. This was Morey's fourth week overall, and Fannie Flagg's third. Mills and Flagg are the two remaining panelists from this week as of February 2018.
Don't forget, Juliet Mills also co-starred in the 1970s situation comedy Nanny and the Professor starring the late Richard Long, and little Kim Richards.
Wow Marlene is a beautiful person! Her personnality is everything she seems so shy but so excited!! I had love to know her she got a beatiful soul. Sorry for my bad english I’m french ☺️
_Vous avez fait très bien. (Mieux que 99% des Américains le feraient avec le français.) Permettez-moi à vous assister :_ Wow, Marlena is a beautiful person! Her personality is everything. _[Je ne suis pas sûr de ce que tu veux dire par « everything ». ]_ She seems so shy but so excited. I would love to know her. She's got a beautiful soul. Sorry for my bad English. I'm French.
The "I'm cool" with the shoulder shrug at 19:45 ... well, like everything else she does, is totally cute. She would have been great on Three's Company.
I got the impression that Marlene saw Dorothy's episodes and thought she'd act the same way when it was her turn. The only problem is that Marlene is a total fake. Dorothy was real and honest.
I don't think so..... he was inconsistent on the kissing of newcomers because he does it many times during the '73 episodes, but not every time or with every body.
I never understood the prominent kissing that was going on on this show and Family Feud. It felt like it was purposeful. Was there some kind of anti-prude movement or something?
Morey is fun to watch but I’d hate to have been a contestant when he was a panelist! Every now and then he gives an answer that’s obviously meant solely to get a laugh without a snowball’s chance in hell of matching anyone.
Free spirit flying ;0) ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Fannie! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Marlena! ;0) Ops didn't let Morey do his spill.. Dee Finch that would be.. ;0) She fill in her blank and now we ask you to fill in your blank.. ;0) vegetable.. Moving alone as quick as possible.. ;0) Rabbi.. Thank you Richard.. ;0) Just wondering if you went before you came on stage.. ;0) Love ya Gene having fun with Marlena.. ;0) I wonder if Gene, realizing he said the wrong year, was trying to show 4 fingers for 74.. ;0) Hey, a girl can try you know.. ;0)
sorry , Gene - Rob Roy is a much more famous Rob than Rob Reiner - these Match Game people tend to mainly think about only show biz people most of the time - now , Richard or CNR might have come up with Rob Roy
It's a common term that means possibly a mother who's acting as an agent for her performer child, but usually means a very pushy mother of a child performer.
@@todddepue681 Yep, that's correct. Even though Brett sometimes gave stupid answers I still love her to pieces. She reminds me so much of my Granny, who passed at the very bitter end of 1989.
I don't think that English women appreciated the host kissing her on the back of her neck. There would be no way you could get away with that today. God could you imagine the out cry to get him off the air immediately! What differance four and a half decades makes.
today sucks 👈 and people GETS offended by anything and everything, this generation will not end up well, people of today sucks, they so boring and uptide, over medicated, depressed, paranoid and more suicides than ever. people of today would pay money to be as balanced confident and happy as this people from the 70's were, like the audience, the actors and contestants as well, if you look closer they were healthier too.
as for your comment Gene barely kissed her at all, he just acting as if he was doing so, this actors and show business people not your average kind of people, they had their own way of complementing each other and joked about it too.
I didn't care Dorothy at all, but they need to bring her back to go head to head with Marlena. Two peas in a pod there (although Malena wasn't nearly as annoying as Dorothy)
Looks as if Gene tried to say “74” before going to the prize plugs. Always love the zany antics, even this early!
"Tell knucklehead to shut up!" I loved that!
Brett was sooo annoying; her answers were usually off the mark. Charles was my hero for telling her to shut up.
@@janethartwig774 - It was Richard. I know. I know. I call Richard, Charles a lot too. I think a lot of people did.

It's 1973. One of the most popular sitcoms ever to air was in its third season (All In The Family). Rob . I said, "Rob Reiner"
Thanks for the contribution, Einstein
And now famous for film making. He and his dad, talented people.

You left out that Juliet Mills was the star of Nanny and the Professor
I appreciate your notes, I was just coming on to say he said Match Game 73 lol
Apparently not scarce enough
Wow Marlene is a beautiful person! Her personnality is everything she seems so shy but so excited!! I had love to know her she got a beatiful soul. Sorry for my bad english I’m french ☺️
Marlene came across to me as a phony.

I was glad to see Marlene go there was something about her that was feeling right.
Panelists:
1. Greg Morris
2. Brett Somers
3. Morey Amsterdam
4. Juliet Mills
5. Richard Dawson
6. Fannie Flagg
The "I'm cool" with the shoulder shrug at 19:45 ... well, like everything else she does, is totally cute. She would have been great on Three's Company.
I'm surprised Morey Amsterdam didn't blurt out Petrie for the clue Rob
Good one. I said Reiner and THOUGHT Petrie.
How the heck did Marlena not end up being "discovered" ?
Richard was perfect today with 3 attempts to 3 matches..
Sad to see Arlene go. One of my favorites.
They should have brought Dorothy back on the show and matched her up against Marlena🤪🤪🤪
😂
I would have immediately changed channels or turned the TV!!
I got the impression that Marlene saw Dorothy's episodes and thought she'd act the same way when it was her turn. The only problem is that Marlene is a total fake. Dorothy was real and honest.
ohhh MG that would had been pure mayhem LOL.😅
@@dmnemaine the problem is you are just assuming she did so without you knowing for sure lol
So this was before Gene started the custom of kissing the newcomers...
So Gene inspired Dawson to do the same on Feud.
I don't think so..... he was inconsistent on the kissing of newcomers because he does it many times during the '73 episodes, but not every time or with every body.
I never understood the prominent kissing that was going on on this show and Family Feud. It felt like it was purposeful. Was there some kind of anti-prude movement or something?
@@pokerface7840 people were this way back then, today people are scared and bored of each other.
@@JohnSmith-kz8yo I know. they thought it was disgusting on Family Feud, like like they did on here (true story)
@3:48 Morey tries to tell another pointless, boring joke and Gene just ignores him and moves along. Thanks Gene!
There’s Gene’s favorite tie again.
Morey is fun to watch but I’d hate to have been a contestant when he was a panelist! Every now and then he gives an answer that’s obviously meant solely to get a laugh without a snowball’s chance in hell of matching anyone.
He was known as the Human Joke Machine but in this scenario it didnt work well for the contestant.

A curiosity:
How did anyone know Rob Reiner's name back then when everyone called him Meathead? LOL
Floymi
14:54 Another one for the "Number B" compilation
Marlena's trench coat-like blouse!
The 1970s were a fashion catastrophe.
Glad she's gone.
Marlena was adorable.
I'm happy for a new winner. I didn't care for Marlene.
Greg was gorgeous
Who?
Was this recorded on 12-23-73?
First ESP reference?
I"m trying to figure out why she looks so familiar.... did she appear on any tv series or movies?
I agree, she looks real familiar. Or maybe she strongly resembles an actress, who I can't think of either, haha
Marlena Crews has an IMDB page with one acting credit and two production credits, but there might be more that's not listed.
Not the same without Charles Nelson Reilly.
Thanks to UA-cam's monetizing scanner, it's back to blurring the credits.
Floymin Not sure what you are talking about here? Gsn crunches the credits so I simply edit the credit crunch out and add in the music.
Thanks for finally clearing that up. I've been talking about *blurring* for the past year like an idiot!
Floymin no problem! Happy to help clarify
Just wondering why it's important to see the credits anyway? Unless of course you were looking for someone's name
@@donaldleroy6502, the credits are as important to a screen production as the pages containing the author and publication information are to a book.
Greg Morris was in a show called the Mod Squad right?
never.he was a regular or semi regular on several shows,most famously "Mission Impossible".
Mod Squad was Clarence Williams III
No greg morris was on mission impossible
He was Dwayne's dad on What's Happening.
Guess they all look alike huh?
Must be Dorothy's sister
Marlene comes across as a total faker.
sorry , Gene - Rob Roy is a much more famous Rob than Rob Reiner - these Match Game people tend to mainly think about only show biz people most of the time - now , Richard or CNR might have come up with Rob Roy
All in the Family was the #1 show on television when this was recorded. Rob Reiner was plenty famous and a more than reasonable answer.
@@TapCat I agree, and even more known now. 😊
The Thunderbird Hotel .....WOW....I remember seeing Ippi Tombi there!!!!
Who?
I think Marlena would have made an excellent voice actor.
Oh m' gawd, it's Meerna Carter! (
Number B ? Well as they say Thanks be she's pretty.....
Marlena reminds me of Dorothy from just a few episodes earlier ... just before Arlene.
DAMN. Richard Dawson's suit is giving me a headache!
And Greg's shirt is making me dizzy! LOL
lol That is a wild shirt. Bet it was expensive.
It was the '70s. We had issues.
Yes, that and his personality are irritating as well
RICHARD gives me a headache!
How would you like to have had a blind date with Marlena?
God no she's a weird one.
Poor Richard didn't get selected for the final question.
Marlene seems very false to me.
False and a ditz to me.
Stage MOTHER? Really!? That's dumber than most of Brett's answers.
💯💯
It's a common term that means possibly a mother who's acting as an agent for her performer child, but usually means a very pushy mother of a child performer.
@@LynxSouth Appreciate the info but I still think it's a dumb answer.
That was Morey's answer....not Brett's
Sorry....Brett gets enough crap...she had nothing to do with this.
@@todddepue681 Yep, that's correct. Even though Brett sometimes gave stupid answers I still love her to pieces. She reminds me so much of my Granny, who passed at the very bitter end of 1989.
she is sweet is she stll living

Well don't watch it then if it bothers you so much
I didn't care Dorothy at all, but they need to bring her back to go head to head with Marlena. Two peas in a pod there (although Malena wasn't nearly as annoying as Dorothy)
Just because you want it 50 years later isn't a good reason.
