What's with the hideous music while the stars are writing there answers for the first and third questions? I like the normal music that goes "Wawnt dawnt de de de de de de de wawnt dawnt de de de de de de" like they played for the second one.
H/H match update: ... Quick recap: This is our returning champion's fourth visit to the Super Match. The first time he won $500 from the audience match, but he and Richard didn't match in the H/H. Round two, the champ struck out altogether on the audience match. Late time, he finally won the big money with Richard's help. Today's audience match question: "House of ________ " The celebs: Richard (Flowers -??), Charles (Suede - ??), and Brett (Ill repute) I'm not sure what Richard and Charles were thinking. Maybe something from the 1970s that I don't recall? Brett's answer sounds like the best bet to me. I'm wondering about house of cards. I'm pretty sure that was an expression long before the TV series. The choice: Ill repute The answers: Seven Gables (oh yeah, duh!), Horrers (sic!), Ill repute Whew. I honestly wasn't sure it'd be there. It's rare that the third celebrity chosen comes up with the top answer, but if not for Brett, the celebs would have totally struck out on the audience match today (even counting Scoey's fourth suggestion "of Rothschild"). I imagine the champ will stick with Richard, but let's see... Well, I just about fell off my chair at the same time Brett did when he called on her. I really enjoy watching Brett play the H/H with her dramatic nervousness! This is her 51st attempt, and her first shot at it since episodes 573 (no match) and 561 (match)... Today's H/H question: " ________ Wave" Hmm. Because of Gene's pre-question patter ("...get those thought waves going between the two of you - remember thought waves are electricity..."), I thought of thought wave, or even brainwave. I don't think this is going to be an easy match... Check out 17:49, right after Gene reads the question, he turns toward the judge and raises his eyebrows, seemingly recognizing the coincidence that had occurred. Brett writes an answer of at least four or five letters as she agonizes. Completely ignoring Gene's unintentional hint, the champ says "Permanent" wave. I have to admit, that's a great answer, although the audience didn't seem to like it much. They shouted out answers such as heat wave and shock wave, so there seem to be a lot of decent answers with no truly definitive choice. Brett clearly didn't match, judging from her reaction... She said she'd thought of permanent, but discarded it because the contestant is a man, and she wrote "tidal," another good answer. No match today. (Commentary: Today was the fourth or fifth time recently where Richard has held up a card with the "correct" answer after another celeb has played an unsuccessful head-to-head match. I'm not sure what the point is and I find it, well, sort of cruel and childish. I get that he doesn't like it when another celeb is chosen, but really, he's chosen the vast majority of times, and it isn't enough?) 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). Charles - 47.7% (21 wins in 44 attempts). Betty - 46.9% (15 wins in 32 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 40.4% (147 wins in 364 attempts). Brett - 37.2% (19 wins in 51 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 639, 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!")
@@CousinOresama You can see that getting vaccinated will not make the masks go away. Getting vaccinated is just showing the powers that be that you are willing to submit to whatever they say. They will never let this go as long as enough people obey them because nothing has empowered them more than this ccp flu and the over reaction to it has. The only way the masks go away is by massive disobedience to all their stupid edicts that they have zero right to enact.
"House of Horrers"? Really? Did no one else realize, including the MG staff, that it is House of Horrors? I guess not. Illiterate people working on that show.
That music is weird. After the “brick” episode, Patty is growing on me actually 😂 I just miss my favorite Fannie. And gene, please don’t dance 😂 I love all your hard work, MGP
It seems you can hardly EVER count on the panel to be unanimous, especially when the answer begs for tinkle, it's damned if you do and damned if you don't. I wasn't sure if house of usher was even a thing back then
16:34 House of Horrers - is that near The Best Little Hor House in Texas? My joke makes little sense and yet I shall post it anyway. Match Game is a safe space for bad punmanship.
I'll keep this clean, because it's a family site. But, you know, it is possible to make love with your mouth full, and not be disgusting. It depends on what your mouth is full of. I've done it myself, many times!
being mechanically minded, Even as a kid watching this show back in the 70's I always wondered what kind of motor they had under the spinning platform that would be strong enough to move 2 people, a counter, and the background set wall. I know it must have had rollers around the periphery. and more then likely a GRU or Gear Reduction Unit. to give it more pulling power. also never figured out why they didn't have a mechanism . to slide the panels back to revel the answer. the mechanics would not have been that complicated.... no offense to the man who did the sliding behind the wall tho. . .
@@janejayne8152Like most electronics there were big, heavy and expensive. They also were very useful as there wasn't much for cook ware, food packaged for microwaves or knowledge about how to use them.
Well that is the second time Gene had accidently given a possible answer to the head to head and knew it.. ;0) Other was later on in MGSynd? where he said This is it and the head to head question was This is blank.. ;0)
I've seen her in only one other context. She had a minor guest role on Rhoda (spin-off of The Mary Tyler Moore Show), and didn't even recognize her until the credits rolled. Needless to say, MG is her biggest claim to fame.
She was basically a stage actress who made the jump to early drama-driven TV, but then took time off to have kids and took roles here and there. She worked pretty steadily, all things considered. She trained in the 1950s with the Actors Studio, which was a competitive and serious program. She started her career on Broadway and was in a couple of flops, which happens. She then went on to many roles in early televised dramas -- the "playhouse" type production that were such a big part of TV in the 1950s and 1960s. And yes, she WAS literally known for being married to Jack Klugman, too -- in the 1960s and early 1970s, she played his wife Blanche in multiple episodes of the Odd Couple, and was really good. Keep in mind that her career coincided with motherhood. She had three children, a daughter from her first marriage (probably born around 1950) and two sons from her second (born in 1959 and 1963 if memory serves.) So from about 1950 to 1981, she had kids under her roof. People may not fully understand this today, but in the 1950s and 1960s, it was very difficult for women to be both professionals (in any field) and mothers. So in addition to riding out the normal ups and downs of an acting career, she had absences from her profession while having and raising kids and making a home while her husband was on Broadway, which is a uniquely grueling life. She had her son David while Jack Klugman was in his breakthrough role in Gypsy, for example. (He played opposite Ethel Merman, which is why Brett always engaged with her -- I think she was mildly in awe of but also quite comfortable with Ethel.) Also, by the 1970s she was into middle age. So fewer roles were available, because that's Hollywood. She was given smallish character roles, and was probably happy to be working. A network TV guest star role could carry an actor for months. Game shows were an excellent option for actors like her (and Richard, who raised two young sons on his own from the time they were 2 and 4) to keep the money flowing in without having to be enslaved to a 7 am to 9 pm schedule four to five days a week. I know a lot of people don't like Brett. I'm not her biggest fan, but I like her on this show and I think she has some truly great moments. The show would have been much less fun without her for the others to play off. She was generally a very good sport about her designated role as the show's target. And despite her ditzy act, she was very smart -- she repeatedly shows an excellent knowledge of literature, for example. The show would have been greatly diminished without her. (Or Richard, or Charles, or Gene. It needed ALL of them to succeed.) We all have our favorites; mine is Richard, but I hope we can all be respectful of these late, great performers who left behind such a legacy of fun, laughter, and quick thinking. I have nothing but pity for the people who come on here constantly to beat up one performer or the other. We all know who these folks are... they just don't get what made this show so great. It was the chemistry, which did include the occasional lab explosion. (Not you, Vivian Hamilton. I liked the question you asked and the open-hearted way you asked it.)
