Fannie is wearing same Charlie Chaplin sweater that Elaine Joyce wore a few weeks back. And a contestant wore a nearly identical one except it featured Laurel & Hardy
And a very important president too. Everyone thought he was going to be a party machine toady but ended up reforming the federal government by virtually eliminating the spoils system in which federal offices and jobs were filled in return for election and political favors and replaced with a civil service system consisting of professionals based on skills and competence.
I think he misunderstood the intention of the game as trying to come up with a unique answer, rather than a generic one that everyone else would think of... His reasoning for discarding "black eye" and his choice of "Franklin Roosevelt" were just so illogical and out of left field.
He got screwed! She got one of the easiest first round questions ever with “elephant trunk”…I mean what else would an elephant use to plug up a hole in the ark for crying out loud?!? Gene used to say, “we try to make the questions of equal difficulty” but clearly they didn’t always try so hard!
Gene and the panel look pretty boneheaded when they keep making fun of "President Arthur." Chester A. Arthur was President of the United States from 1881 until 1885.
Sure, but they act as though he said "Dee Arthur" or "Pope Arthur" which would be completely dumb answers (Cuckoo Fran And Ollie anyone?). Chester Arthur or President Arthur is at least a legitimate real person named Arthur. Bea Arthur, the $250 response, was even a blood relative, a cousin. If I say the names President Polk, President Hayes, President Fillmore, et cetera, Americans should at least recognize they were real people.
It (infertility) really wasn't much of a problem then, but it was considered too sad, personal, and _indelicate_ to mention, let alone make a joke about. Mentioning bras, doo-doo, and tinkling was pushing the envelope plenty back then.
Elephant can't eat, use the poop after the poop has dried. Betty White would be very mad at the six. Poop is plenty, stuff more in when the hole is visible. 11-4-2021
He didn't choose "Black eye" because, "It was too obvious". Umm... Maybe he thought the name of the game was "Obscure answers to obvious questions". They hate themselves SO much that they purposely avoid success.
By "they" do you mean black people? If so, keep your racist comments off the board. A lot of people mess up at that stage. And if you paid attention, you would have heard that he is already successful in his job. Winning or losing on Match Game has nothing to do with being successful in life (as fun as it may be). Always one jerk in every conversation . . .
ROFL! Another fine after dinner episode! :0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Fannie! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0) Thank you Gene.. ;0) Allen, Brett and Charles beat Richard.. ;0) goat..
Contestant Michael doesn't get how to play the match game. If black eye is the obvious answer , that would make it the most popular and winning answer. SMH 🙄
Allen Ludden is such a class act.
Anthony martin
He truly was!
LOL @ CNR playing a pan pipe in the opening credits. HAHA God I loved him.
Oh, good. Richard found Brett's earring.
Fannie is wearing same Charlie Chaplin sweater that Elaine Joyce wore a few weeks back. And a contestant wore a nearly identical one except it featured Laurel & Hardy
Richard Dawson mentioned "Masquerade Party". One of the guests on the show was Charles Nelson Reilly who was disguised as Harpo Marx.
Was it funny?
@@pencils812 It was average. That's why it didn't last long.
They gave Allen such a hard time about "President Arthur". There really was such a president in the 19th century.
Chester Alan Arthur, vice-president who succeeded to the presidency 2 months after Garfield was assassinated.
@@cister30328 even Gene made fun of him !
And a very important president too. Everyone thought he was going to be a party machine toady but ended up reforming the federal government by virtually eliminating the spoils system in which federal offices and jobs were filled in return for election and political favors and replaced with a civil service system consisting of professionals based on skills and competence.
He was also crucial to the plot of Die Hard 3.
This is the only occasion I've ever seen Richard Dawson decline a woman's kiss!
That didn’t start until sometime into the run of “Family Feud.”
Information about "Masquerade Party" (the show Richard was talking about) can be found at www.imdb.com/title/tt0140747/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_30
Euell Gibbons was a "Meter Eater."
From what I’ve read, Masquerade Party ran until fall ‘75, and only one episode is known to exist (you can find a couple of clips on here).
And I think it finished the 1975 with the show in reruns..
Wow.
Allen and Brett were so funny together!
She's hysterically funny and I love her! I'm not sure if Allen was genuinely annoyed or just playing off her for fun.
Micheal lost me when he said Franklin Roosevelt
What a difference a few years can make. They used the Miss Kitty routine again 2 years later and everyone responded with make love
And Richard said slept.....I would've expected something different from him.
Michael was too serious
The poor guy seemed very nervous.
I think he misunderstood the intention of the game as trying to come up with a unique answer, rather than a generic one that everyone else would think of... His reasoning for discarding "black eye" and his choice of "Franklin Roosevelt" were just so illogical and out of left field.
Watch it Brett! Did Richard say he would never leave Gene at the beginning? But he did years later..
I felt a little bad for Michael, he gave the definitive answer with made 💘 with his boots on, in a perfect 🌎 he woulda tied it up
He got screwed! She got one of the easiest first round questions ever with “elephant trunk”…I mean what else would an elephant use to plug up a hole in the ark for crying out loud?!? Gene used to say, “we try to make the questions of equal difficulty” but clearly they didn’t always try so hard!
I love Brett so much she's so beautiful. ❤️
Sweet to remember her with a fan club.
17:42 The beginning resentment of contestants choosing Richard Dawson for the Super Match.
the panelists
Really?
You mean the head-to-head.
Gene and the panel look pretty boneheaded when they keep making fun of "President Arthur." Chester A. Arthur was President of the United States from 1881 until 1885.
He was, but he's not one of the biggies that anyone would think of.
Sure, but they act as though he said "Dee Arthur" or "Pope Arthur" which would be completely dumb answers (Cuckoo Fran And Ollie anyone?). Chester Arthur or President Arthur is at least a legitimate real person named Arthur. Bea Arthur, the $250 response, was even a blood relative, a cousin.

Wasn't Tip O'Neal Speaker of the house in '74? I thought he was.
Gene and Brett would probably think that was a dumb answer like President Arthur.
8:31 LMAO look the Allen's face, I love Brett
How about at 16:10 when Brett says she'll kiss him on the mouth.
You must be blind when you say that” I love Brett” the only person that loves Brett is herself.
Panelists:
1. Allen Ludden
2. Brett Somers
3. Charles Nelson Reilly

Charles seemed a bit off tonight
Laurie is a whoa what a beautiful personality to match.
Joyce Builfant and Mary Duncan could be sisters, sigh. 5-22-2022
What does “(With Slate)” mean in the title?
The small chalkboard Johnnie Olsen is reading from at the beginning of the show.
This is a slate board!! 🎬🎬🎬
Seriously? For "shooting " nobody thought of "shooting blanks"?
It (infertility) really wasn't much of a problem then, but it was considered too sad, personal, and _indelicate_ to mention, let alone make a joke about. Mentioning bras, doo-doo, and tinkling was pushing the envelope plenty back then.
Nobody would have said that in 1974.
Bulls Eye
these contestants are not too witty!
Laurie Healy - wow!!
Elephant can't eat, use the poop after the poop has dried. Betty White would be very mad at the six. Poop is plenty, stuff more in when the hole is visible. 11-4-2021

Brett Somers wants all the attention. She's Sooo Annoying
Power rangers Samurai Mia Shaka Hi Sam Barney Power Icarly
Nobody cares
My question to Brett, "Can you shut up for a whole 30 seconds?"
It's like it's "The Brett Somers Show"
ROFL! Another fine after dinner episode! :0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Fannie! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0) Thank you Gene.. ;0) Allen, Brett and Charles beat Richard.. ;0) goat..
The ugly wife question was really mean.
Yeah he has his Afro! 11-4-2021

Brett is so obnoxious.
Remember when you could make a race crack and no one would lose their minds?
Brett is so annoying
