Today Richard broke a lengthy losing streak in head-to-head matches (he hasn't matched the past 7 times he's been chosen). Now with 7 total wins, he's pulled into the lead in terms of total matches by any one celeb. So far, we still only have 5 celebs total who have scored 3 or more matches. Here are those five, along with their accuracy % to date: Betty - 42.9% (6 wins in 14 attempts). Charles - 41.7% (5 wins in 12 attempts). Bert - 30.8% (4 wins in 13 attempts). Brett - 28.6% (4 wins in 14 attempts). Richard - 23.3% (7 wins in 30 attempts). If you combine these five most-selected celebs, you get 26 wins out of 83 attempts = 31.3% *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 130, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.
There's an episode where Fannie Flagg wears a Confederate Flag shirt WITH a black celebrity on the panel. THEN, in yet another episode, she actually says "Robert E. Lee was a good person" right with a black contestant standing in front of the Audience Match board... then Gene Rayburn(?spell?) says "I agree." Neither one looked over to see the man was clearly uncomfortable by them doing that. (It happens in the _Match Game 75_ version of the show. I can find the clips if they're on UA-cam.) (Not that anyone wants to see it, but it happened and I'm disgusted.)
@@southernbreeze3278 What's the matter? Does it bother you that someone pointed out something that made a black contestant uncomfortable? "I hugged black people, so the stupid stuff I did that made them uncomfortable doesn't matter". Is that it?
@@dmnemaine This is almost 50 years. Live, learn, and MOVE ON. I am sure Fannie and others learned from this error. What are you gonna do--boycott CBS?
Pretty good week as almost everyone gave away some money but sneaking in at the last moment is Richard giving away 6,000 dollars in a head to head and audience match match with 10 matches for the regulars. Morey gave away 5,000 in a head to head match for the semi regulars. Fannie gave away 500 in a audience match match. And Greg gave away 250 dollars in an audience match with 11 matches for the semi regulars.. Richard takes the lead this week in the totals for the season.. Thank you Greg.. ;0) I knew I like him for a reason more than just being on Mission Impossible.. ;0)
I'm surprised Great Scott was up there, considering it wouldn't be popularized for another 11 years. I guess it was a catchphrase even before Back to the Future.
Beth Di Bartolomeo the interjection “Great Scott” dates back to the 19th century and is said to have started as a minced oath. By the late 20th century it was considered dated, more often used in film and TV indicate someone is old fashioned or for humor. The character Doc Brown of Back to the Future fame, popularized the phrase again in the 80s, though more as a humorous exclamation.
srawrats77 even in 1955, the phrase would have been seen as somewhat old fashioned, at least amoung children and teens. It lets remember it’s the writers of the script that chose to have him say that based on what they thought someone of his age might used as an exclamation. I don’t think it was that commonly used anymore by the 1950s. Also Doc Brown was somewhat eccentric so he would likely still use certain phrases/words not or no longer in most people’s vocabulary.
@@Charlesb88 I loved the BTTF movies, and I thought he said it to show that he was eccentric and not fully of his time/era: he was different to the point of oddness.
Yeah, it was. when I was coming up in the 70's in michigan, there was a large food store chain called Great Scott. i remember their logo was two read hearts connected to each other with the workds Great Scott written in them.
The reference is to General Winfield Scott, who commanded one of the two American armies in the Mexican War and was the Union general-in-chief at the beginning of the Civil War. This and other evidence, although not conclusive, points strongly to Winfield Scott as the source of “Great Scott!”
Hey, nobody said Hanalulu Lulu (I love that name) was arrested for smoking her grass skirt. My two favorite MG characters: Hanalulu Lulu and Gonga Dingy Janet Iverson? why does that name sound familiar to me? Wonder if she was a contestant on some other shows or something.
They shot a week's worth of shows on ONE day. In between "shows", they had breaks where they could eat, change clothes and drink a lotttttttttt of booze. Lol. You can always tell by Thurs/Fri eppys that they are half in the bag.
ROFL! Another fine after dinner episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Fannie! ;0) Love the silliness Gene.. ;0) Love the celebration with the contestant Gene.. ;0) meat?! feet?! Thank you Greg! ;0) Suurrreee Gene, sure.. ;0) That is SO funny! I have/had an aunt and uncle who were married names Hilda and Ralph! ;0) tire.. weapon..
First Super Match, part 1: MARY Part 2: CHAIRS Meriwether-Sobel, round 1, question A: "Gene, it's not fair of you to give us a different scansion than you gave the contestant. You clearly put the emphasis on 'my' in that first reading - which is why I said LOVE-SEAT." (Ding!) Question B: "Ask a vague question, get a crazy answer. They used to TAKE TURNS KICKING THE CANARY'S CAGE." (Bzzt!) Round 2, question A: (lay out) Question B: "The other end seemed more plausible, so I said her FANNY." (Bzzt!) Second Super Match: EXPECTATIONS Meriwether-Iverson, round 1, question B: "Don't worry, Janet, there is *somebody* with brains on this panel. PAPERWEIGHT!" (Ding!)
he had a low pitch voice on this show or his microphone was turned in correctly because you could barely heard him as he cracks a joke and that could be the problem right there.
On the Dick Van Dyke show Morey played a joke writer. Hed come in doing 3 or 4 jokes the fade into the background. Hes trying to do a similar routine here and its failing flat bacause hes rarely matching the contestant.
I was surprised too. "Sheets" is a perfectly normal thing to associate with a house and a housewife (the situation suggested by the question), plus it rhymed to fit the "poem." That made the KKK reference sound totally out of left field. Still, I have to keep in mind this was (nearly) 50 years ago (taped in December 1973) and it's both foolish and unfair to try to judge Richard (or anyone) in the past by our current standards, although my sincere opinion is that RD didn't mean anything by it and didn't intentionally blurt that out with a black woman champion sitting in the studio and a black actor on the celebrity panel. Sadly, I'm sure that Brenda, as an African American woman who grew up circa the 1960s, was frequently reminded in ways both subtle and blatant that she wasn't seen as a fully equal American by the majority of society and was inured to casual reminders of racism and worse. In order to maintain her sanity and good nature, she would necessarily have to let things like this just slide right over her and move on. And obviously, she'd heard far, far worse on many occasions.

I can't believe it I actually screamed out loud for joy when 'Money's' was revailed as the $500 answer.
That show spread so much humor, love and joy! The celebs really wanted the contestants to win! The Wonderful 70s! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
I love how these games even during the post civil rights era treated all people equally.

I've been watching Match Game on Pluto TV channel 514. I love this show.
What's Pluto TV, please?
What's the channel name?
"Well, I sell movies to hotels..."🤔
(Gene, I can't hear you. Your tie is too loud😎)
Really happy for Brenda Lee, her answers were consistently good.
Fannie was chewing on the marker.
In Mission Impossible days I had a huge crush on Greg Morris.
So did my mother.

I remember when wide ties were cool, lol!
So glad that Brenda won!
I think the sideways credit crawl at the end is cool
5:00 Gene is Pogo-ing. Punk rock hadn't been invented yet. 🙂
People did that hundreds of years ago, punk rock didnt invent it or improve it.

Richard was gorgeous.
I love Richard Dawson
i had a crush on him as a kid and i still do
Brett "by any chance are you from the valley?"... yeah she knew what's up!
All is forgiven, Richard. 👍😊
01:36 Nipsey never looked better, lol!
Bounce or BUST!!! 🤪🤪🤪
I thought it referenced a general in a war being a hero. I heard it here and there in the 60s and 70s
The thumbnail was hilarious!

I haven't counted, but with a VTR date like that, they sure shot a lot of shows on the Dec 23rd '73
They shot a week's worth of shows on ONE day. In between "shows", they had breaks where they could eat, change clothes and drink a lotttttttttt of booze. Lol.

Please Brett...get a hearing aid!! And hey Gene..your tie clashes with your shirt.
Brett loves to ask Gene repeat the question so she gets more camera time. She is a total camera whore.

What was with Brenda Lee's friend or relative in the audience?
brachio1000 sometimes a person has so much hardship in their life, it can be difficult to feel positive emotions.
She seemed as if she’d been brought to tears following great win.
😳 9:57 did Brenda Lee just do a “Tamar” with that clicking sound? So that’s where it all began. (Yes I see you Alyssa Edwards)
Do Germans have more dimples than average among Europeans?
@@LynxSouthIf someone will fund the research I will devote a couple years of my life to do field research.
I can't stand Brett Somers. She always has something negative to say
Ironic
Wow, who cranked up the ads on me? It's to the point that I'm going to stop watching. Blank you Google!
Yeah a terrible thing that ads have to ruin this show.
Way to go Brenda!
He sells movies to hotels.....rrrrriiight.🤨🤨......wink wink...nudge nudge 😉😉
Holy shit Gene laughed the same!
Morey kept trying to be funny. But he just wasn't. He just sounded like a fool.
Actually he was funny imo....

I could not believe Richard Dawsons answer referring to the KKK: "Sheets" Really? With that sweet black lady contestant sitting there? WOW!
Telling you
Yes,I can't believe it either,times sure were different

You need to do the right thing and look up the contestant and give her reparations.
Greg is pretty horrible actually
You mean Greg is pretty good at this game
