I read that Cass loved to entertain at her home. It’s nice to see her in this setting. She seemed so pleasant and interesting. Her talent was certainly amazing.
Thank you.👍 Very shortly after this, Gene asks, "The pretty nurse said to the doctor, 'Doctor, I really don't think you should (blank) while you're operating'". Jack Klugman's answer was, "eat". So Brett says, "Take a look at his WEIGHT, and you'll see why he said 'eat'", just before it was Mama Cass's turn to answer. I wonder if Brett drank, and if she did, I wonder if she was a 'mean drunk'?
I think that's on purpose They (the money greedy... Putting out "content" for sale on Online On subscription On cable Etc) Wish To encourage (strongarm) People to part with more money To watch ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THEY CAN
Jack Klugman's face spoke volumes on Brett's answer. Love seeing MaMa Cass Elliot, Richard Dawson and others here. So nostalgic! Back when real game shows were a thing and enjoyable to watch unlike the stuff being produced today.
Nancy Hahn That's so true. I miss the old Monte hall show Let's make a Deal. My Dad was friends with Gene Rayburn when they was little kids , way before Gene became famous.
What is so great about watching these "vintage" gameshows is seeing the mostly now gone celebrities and the clothing of the times! I was 12 when this first aired, but sure miss the times!
@@zerotwoisreal when it says “banned” it means banned in syndication, not banned at the time it was made. This was a live show, so this 100% aired at the time
I think you missed the adult human because it was intentional for children to miss adult humor. It takes a lot more intelligence in screen writing to do that then it is to be blatant with sex like things are today
It’s like I’m watching a cocktail party but with real money at stake! I love it! A spirited group of people playing a fun game. Add a little cocktail & that’s exactly what you’ve got. ❤️ 46 years later and I’m watching this because it looks like fun to me!! :)
I’m gay af and have been my entire life. And I still am absolutely addicted to this show! Man, what a time to be alive back then!!! I would’ve applied every single day to be on this show!
WTF does your sexual orientation have to do with anything? Why do always need to scream that from mountain tops? Nobody cares. I'm heterosexual - big deal.
@tinwoods Unless you actually were at least a teenager growing up in the 70's then you have no clue what I am talking about, but I guess you can have your own opinion.
Lol I've never seen a game show with so many banned episodes. Gotta say this was my favorite show as a kid, and it still gives me a great laugh to see these again. Thanks for digging these out of the archives and blowing the dust off them for us. P.S. ... I'm big, fat, and ugly and don't get offended in the least by all those references in this show.

Couldn't help but notice your name. When my wife and I got married in 2005, I was living in Lexington, KY at the time. In 2013, we went on vacation to Pigeon Forge via Lexington (we were living in St. Louis at the time) and drove downtown to relive a few memories. Now I am a Christian and don't normally talk like this...but I couldn't help but bust out laughing upon seeing a restaurant there in downtown Lexington called "Hugh Jass Burgers". LOL
@Willie Gordon no one also chooses to be gay. Many people who are gay go through a period of time where they do wish they could “change” . Many people do say they are “fat and proud”, so I don’t know where you’ve been lol. Point is it’s wrong to use that type of language and it’s a good thing it’s a “banned” episode.
MJCLAXDEN, Cass Elliott (aka Mama Cass of the Mamas and Papas) only appeared on Match Game for that one week in 1973. But it would not be her last TV appearance on a game show. From what I researched, she along with Jacqualine Susann made their final game show appearances on "Celebrity Sweepstakes" in the summer of 1974. Cass Elliot died shortly after of a heart attack while eating a ham sandwich (due to contrary belief, it was not due to choking on one as many believed). She was replaced by Eliane, the lead singer of Spanky and Our Gang during all later and future Mamas and Papas reunion tours.
That's not nice everyone, Yes, Cass Elliot was overweight, so what?? She still had a fantastic voice and like it or not she is part of our musical history.
krazy4baja I do too.Had I been a 70s adult and had a VTR/VCR and knew in advance that the game show tapes would be reused for other productions, I would have stocked up on tapes.3 TVs,3 tape machines on all 3 networks.
I had a babysitter when I was little who always had the TV on at her place, and she got me hooked on game shows, including Match Game, over KOLR, channel 10, the Ozarks' CBS affiliate.
Sad to see Cass not long before she died of a heart attack. The show also was not in it's stride yet the questions and the celebs were not as zany as 1975-1977 when this show was at it's peak.

As with many steroid drugs, along with other medications such as insulin..... she started gaining weight uncontrollably.

These people so focused on HOW/ WHAT initially caused it while ignoring what is needed to maintain all that extra weight. It requires CONTINUING to eat too much of wrong food = portion control 101. People who r obese should try what can to get control & get healthy.

It's cuz every is so self absorbed and LAZY nowadays they can't TEACH their kids that not everything on tv is REAL or RIGHT, etc... Just make everything squeaky clean...well that's not life.
I don't think Brett is homophobic. Gays use the word among themselves playfully. Also, I have seen two episodes where Brett insults Anita Bryant and says she loves the people Anita Bryant hates. Plus, she and Charles seem to genuinely like each other.
Yes sir THOSE DAYS are gone now but THE reruns are still around, Richard Dawson was a good person on & off camera FAMILY feud was a great show with him as host, match game, hogens heroes, Richard was good. R.i.P. MR DAWSON.
It was pretty wild to see Cass Elliott there. I was so young back then that I almost didn't realize she was a regular person like everyone else. In music circles shes's basically a deity these days.
I watched it all the time. I was 13 when this aired. But I had no idea what Cass was famous for until years later. We weren't permitted to listen to "The Devil's Music." Highly suggestive game shows sure, but never "The Devil's Music." Mom was an ironic person.

But I love the Gong Show remake, even though it only airs during the summer. Also, the Match Game remake is good too. But I noticed in the new MG, they’re more lenient when it comes to matching the contestants answers to the celebrities.

I always leaned on GSN due to the fact that they had many shows of many production companies.Buzzr has rescued us from the fake game shows that appear on their channel.
Times change, I guess. I remember Archie Bunker (Carrol O'Connor) using the word to describe Englishmen on "All in the Family". No way one could say that on a show now.
and it;s SO STUPID because...that's THE character, he's a BIGOT so he WOULD say that. TODAY they'd clean him up and take his edge away...but do LOTS and LOTS of poop, piss, period and puke jokes/humor. That's what the idiot sheep of today find funny. He HAS to be that way...otherwise he can't LEARN and CHANGE and become a (somewhat) better person...ugh it makes me mad lol!
@@chasec143 Lines are blurred. Reality and fiction. Adults cosplay while their kids reprogram computers. Society isn't perfect, but were supposed to try and be good. Everything is preachy now as opposed to tv showing us how we 'should' be and act - and using tv and movies to show the crummy side and try to change it. Now the crummy is all we see and - that's out entertainment too. You're supposed to teach your kids tv isn't real, ALL people don't act a certain way, morals, respect, ect... now everyone is just a pussy hiding behind some false identity, always crying... what a mess we've made. I like the looking back on simpler times mentality has finally been lost to ages... "Remember when you were a kid, and you could look at porn and beheading videos on your phone is school and your teacher thought you were working? ...the best..!"
This was my favorite game show very calming. The word fag was a very popular term back then. We used the word for feminine type guys, and we were all friends. Straight and Gay we were all friends. Sad what happened in the late 70's and 80's with Aids. very sad that people died just for having sex. Even worse now is that we are divided by sexual preference. I guess that is what the intent was with the virus making everyone hate each other..
I read that the producers wanted Klugman to be a regular, but he would only do the show if they gave his wife Brett a job on the show. Of course, JK was too much of a in-demand actor to be on the show all the time.
I love the fact that when a contestant answered poorly, the studio audience would literally boo them - lmao. No political correctness and it was wonderful.
@@IoonatheworId How do you not get this? No political correction back then, hence it aired on TV. Political correctness now (woke) so it is no longer aired. And yes. We were a lot tougher. Sadly other countries are still tough. And we are not. I don't see that ending well.
Is really that hard not to use a word whose only purpose is to demean and belittle a specific group of people? Some things don’t age well, deal with it.
@@nedwart That wasn't its only purpose. The word could be used as you say, but it was also one of two words (fag & queer) that could be 'nice' slang words, or neutral. The other option in 1973 was 'homosexual'. Except for definitely nasty slang words, that was it, all of the choices that I can think of.
WOW BRING SO MANY MEMORIES WHEN I WAS A KID. FUNNY HOW THESE SHOWS WOULD KEEP US WATCHING TV. AND WE LEARNED. NOW THEY'RE ALL FULL OF WELL , HORSE. BLANK
@@cbreezy I’m 20 and I agree, I used to be able to learn from watching shows like modern marvels and how it’s made on tv as a kid now it’s all bs shows about Alaska or some celebrity.
@@trudykennedy2087 not in England or going way back. America turned it into something ugly. America replaced it with gay. Thay word has been used more often in racist ugly situations. If you were alive in this era these phrases weren't offensive. There were many to describe many different classes different races even Caucasians and they talked to each other like this. And in the hippie norm, very many were bisexual free love so none took these words as offensive. Only modern day people who started their own agendas and reasons to protest and don't know anything about free love fighting the establishment loving people of all races, all religions, all gendres all sexual preferences etc
@@ednaatluxton4918 just because it was widely used doesnt mean it was never offensive. in england it is used as a cigarette but was still used as aomophobic slur.
Love this show its difficult to watch when the contestants aren't too bright. I love seeing these stars especially Cass bc she was an awesome person who died too young.
Gene wanted Jack Klugman to appear; he was on the TV version of "The Odd Couple" at the time. Jack Klugman said, "only of you put my wife on too". Klugman turned out to be wooden and unfunny while Somers was hilarious and her rapport with Reilly was just epic, and she became a permanent panelist.
i've seen celebs refer to THEMSELVES as "fags" way into the nineties. a dean martin roast from this year '73 would wind up publicized as a scandal and could not be tolerated today. that being said, this episode of match game features mama Cass Elliot who only lives for another six months, five years before my own mother passed away. much too soon, in their thirties. young women, really.
Both of those contestants have really sultry voices, especially 'Kris', the blonde chick who lost to Antoinette. And then, there's country bumpkin 'Beehive Connie' that shows up later.
People need to look up the definition of the word. It has multiple meanings and quit censoring stuff because you don't like it! This was 1973 and a different world than we live in today!!
I think Brett probably spent a lot of time around gay men and heard that word bandied about quite a bit by them and therefore thought nothing of using it herself. Big deal.
exactly. if you weren't around in those times and only know these ridiculous over sensitive pc times you can't understand. no one thought anything of it and life was good.
I love this show! I don't know why, but it always perks me up!!! Gene was never the same when the show finally ended. It made his life; his daughter in so many words had said.
The show was lame, slow, low budget, looked cheap, and the questions were yawn worthy. 😴 It's like, "People actually used to watch this? They actually used to think this was good?!"
My favorite game show for so long. Way better than today
I think Gene Rayburn is a disgusting
I wish that we could go back to these, I don't even watch tv anymore, because there is nothing worth while to watch anymore.

I love this show..but I wish Buzzr would play some different episodes...They play the same ones over and over!
I think they only have rights to about half the total episodes, while Game Show Network has the other half.
No.
They are afraid to show something from those episodes.
Something...very...white.
I think they only have rights to about half the total episodes, while Game Show Network has the other half.
there is some overlap of episodes shown because the '75 Evie episodes have been shown on both buzzr and GSN
@@sisi917 I think they only have rights to about half the total episodes, while Game Show Network has the other half.
I was four years young when this episode aired. My mother watched this show all the time back then.
Had no idea Cass Elliot had been on there. She was gone the next year sadly.
One year before Mama Cass passed away in her apartment...what a loss.I was 9 years old.Remember reading it in the news paper.
damn ham sandwich!
Holy crap , watching this show again really makes me feel old!
@@jameshudson169 No truth to that story. It was baloney
@@joeambrose3260 LOL....
This show was and still is my favorite❣️👏👍✌️😁🥰I also love Momma Cass❣️👏👍✌️😁🥰Thank you for posting this, and please post more Match Game❣️👏👍✌️😂🤣😂🤣😁🥰
They all had such a great time on that show and still funny today
Good comedy and humor are timeless.
Antoinette is so beautiful!
Chrisdougable she is drop dead gorgeous! I wonder what became of her🤔
@@sandymitchell1606 She's in her 70s and still gorgeous.
I thought so too. Such a Classy Beauty 💜💜💜
@@clintonflynn815 She on Facebook or soemthing?
@@clintonflynn815 How do you know this?
my grandparents would watch this on gameshow network for the longest. My grandma loved Brett and Charles
People have got to stop. This is getting ridiculous. Just because it was said some odd decades ago. I love the show and the channels.
It's cuz every is so self absorbed and LAZY nowadays they can't TEACH their kids that not everything on tv is REAL or RIGHT, etc... Just make everything squeaky clean...well that's not life.
Other than her size you'd never know cass elliot was going to have a heart attack...she seemed to be very cheery and full of energy.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug....
Brett's rude comment about size was disrespectful.
@@bigbertha4080 Yes, and she directed it at her husband! How rude and disrespectful.
It still could've been apnea related.
20:39 - "Stay tuned for _Secret Storm_ next, over most of these CBS stations."
lol, Secret Storm. I remember way back then my Mom always watching those soap operas, and there were a million of them.
@@WithaJoeFro I remember that, as a youngster, and the Edge of night.
I don't think Brett is homophobic. Gays use the word among themselves playfully. Also, I have seen two episodes where Brett insults Anita Bryant and says she loves the people Anita Bryant hates. Plus, she and Charles seem to genuinely like each other.
I believe she was married to Jack Klugman, too
She was married to Klugman for over 50 years. Up to the day she died.
Though they were separated.
as a gay i dont think she meant it in a bad way.
I saw news article after she died saying she was lifelong friends with CNR and visited him until he died. She died less than four months later.
Yes sir THOSE DAYS are gone now but THE reruns are still around, Richard Dawson was a good person on & off camera FAMILY feud was a great show with him as host, match game, hogens heroes, Richard was good. R.i.P. MR DAWSON.
I liked him in Running Man.
2019 - The entire panel has passed except Loretta Swit, Life sucks.
I hear ya man , we all say 'life is short' and then we realize it ...
It was pretty wild to see Cass Elliott there. I was so young back then that I almost didn't realize she was a regular person like everyone else. In music circles shes's basically a deity these days.
Nah; dyin' does.
@@Ilurk247 Today in America fat women is normal and no make-up in a t-shirt and stretch pants lol.
CNR is still alive. I know he wasn't in this particular episode, but a lot of people think he's passed. Well he hasn't yet!
The word in question is used in reference to cigarettes. That is a slang term back then for a cig
Only in the UK. In the US it doesn’t mean cigarettes.
awww Mama Cass.
Mama Cass gave really good answers! I Loved this game show and sure do miss it.💞
I watched it all the time. I was 13 when this aired. But I had no idea what Cass was famous for until years later. We weren't permitted to listen to "The Devil's Music." Highly suggestive game shows sure, but never "The Devil's Music." Mom was an ironic person.
I remember watching "the match game ",after school when I was a teenager. I also watched the original "Gong" show hosted by Chuck Barris .
Allen Mickewich A C.I. A. OPERATIVE STILL ALIVE 2DAY LIVES ON 50 SOMETHING STREET THAT'S WHAT THE GOV'T DOES GET THE MOST UNLIKELY IDIOT ON PUBLIC T.V. COME 2 FIND OUT HE'S DOIN RECON & SNIPING ALLEGEDLY 4 THE COUNTRY????? LOL LOL!!!!
Allen Mickewich yeah,jp.(juicy pussy) Morgan was hot!
They've recently tried to revive the GS, but it's just not the same without Chuck, Mean Gene, the dancing machine, and the rest of the loonitics
Allen Mickewich Yes original Gong Show was best. Remember the "Unknown Comic" in the paper bag cover his head with eye slits?
But I love the Gong Show remake, even though it only airs during the summer. Also, the Match Game remake is good too. But I noticed in the new MG, they’re more lenient when it comes to matching the contestants answers to the celebrities.
"There's a drip from the roof of my dressing room..." lol
I can remember being home sick from school and watching this and others. When your 7 years old daytime TV was so much different than the what you were used to after school or at night
Love these! Thank you for posting! Even better than I remember!
Don't flirt while you're operating was my answer. Smoke is the best answer, though.
I was thinking oggle. Beautiful nurse.
great to see mama cass and Loretta looking lovely here. but, the questions are so bloody difficult to get answers too.
That is what made it funny and fun❣️😂🤣
The W.C. Fields bit was pretty cool. That guy always acted shocked by every little thing.

I miss this type of clean television game shows.
I always leaned on GSN due to the fact that they had many shows of many production companies.Buzzr has rescued us from the fake game shows that appear on their channel.
still comes on buzzr channel
I love Match Game, watch reruns every night lol
"Clean"? This show was always good for a raunchy question or two.
@@stevenjoyal6565 Clean compared to what we have now. Oh, and also usually more subtle and clever.
Whew. Of all the celebs, I think Loretta Switt is the only one still living.
Mama Cass on a game show! Good times back then.
Look up the HR Puffenstuff movie.
"Baby Blue" was actually an excellent answer at that particular period of the 70s. Would be a bad answer now.
Baby blank, I thought baby blankets
@@rodneydickson784 I thought of baby bottle
I thought Blues.. for baby blues
Loved it when I was growing up and still love it now
Times change, I guess. I remember Archie Bunker (Carrol O'Connor) using the word to describe Englishmen on "All in the Family". No way one could say that on a show now.
George Klimes - all the PC bullshit is the worst.
Love me some Archie Bunker!♥️
and it;s SO STUPID because...that's THE character, he's a BIGOT so he WOULD say that. TODAY they'd clean him up and take his edge away...but do LOTS and LOTS of poop, piss, period and puke jokes/humor. That's what the idiot sheep of today find funny. He HAS to be that way...otherwise he can't LEARN and CHANGE and become a (somewhat) better person...ugh it makes me mad lol!
the newer generations are just too sensitive
@@chasec143 Lines are blurred. Reality and fiction. Adults cosplay while their kids reprogram computers. Society isn't perfect, but were supposed to try and be good. Everything is preachy now as opposed to tv showing us how we 'should' be and act - and using tv and movies to show the crummy side and try to change it. Now the crummy is all we see and - that's out entertainment too. You're supposed to teach your kids tv isn't real, ALL people don't act a certain way, morals, respect, ect... now everyone is just a pussy hiding behind some false identity, always crying... what a mess we've made. I like the looking back on simpler times mentality has finally been lost to ages... "Remember when you were a kid, and you could look at porn and beheading videos on your phone is school and your teacher thought you were working? ...the best..!"
At 5:39 - in case you just want to get right to it and skip the rest.
_Thank you, thank you, _*_thank you!_*
This was my favorite game show very calming. The word fag was a very popular term back then. We used the word for feminine type guys, and we were all friends. Straight and Gay we were all friends. Sad what happened in the late 70's and 80's with Aids. very sad that people died just for having sex. Even worse now is that we are divided by sexual preference. I guess that is what the intent was with the virus making everyone hate each other..
Ironically, charles nelson reilly wasnt there seated next to her that day...
or Paul Lynde but that's a different show
I read that the producers wanted Klugman to be a regular, but he would only do the show if they gave his wife Brett a job on the show. Of course, JK was too much of a in-demand actor to be on the show all the time.
CNR wouldn’t have cared. He probably would have laughed.
this is before later years when they wasted so much time on yukking it up between themselves w/corny jokes (esp BRETT)
Love it.... Bee-yill. And then the host asks, "Why do you say, Bee-yill? Where are you from?". Never get away with that today.
The other contestant was about as sharp as a bowling ball
Please keep my ex-wife out of this! What?! Oh, you mean... Sorry. Carry on!
...with no sense of humor to boot.
@@LarryTalbot_1313 😂
The Foghorn Leghorn reference is not lost.😁
I love the fact that when a contestant answered poorly, the studio audience would literally boo them - lmao.
No political correctness and it was wonderful.
Yeah we were a much tougher resilient bunch.
No political correctness? Did you not read the title?
@@IoonatheworId How do you not get this? No political correction back then, hence it aired on TV. Political correctness now (woke) so it is no longer aired. And yes. We were a lot tougher. Sadly other countries are still tough. And we are not. I don't see that ending well.
Cause booing is ok... right. I have no time for Woke or for Heroes like you.
And not all of the hype and yelling and screaming
That was funny! Political Correctness has taking so much good entertainment from us.
L Daskaloff get real people weren't fake back then, such PC is a terrible thing as much as racism and the rest.
Boo-hoo. Why do you think there so many cowards and cry-babies in modern society?
Hyde & SEEK !
I really loved this show, was great.
Well. It seemed innocent enough. And back in 1973, the country hadn't gone through its pussification yet.
Kenneth P. That is one perfect way of explaining it, sir.
Kenneth P. I’m going to start using that word pussification from now on. Thanks
Is really that hard not to use a word whose only purpose is to demean and belittle a specific group of people? Some things don’t age well, deal with it.
@@nedwart That wasn't its only purpose. The word could be used as you say, but it was also one of two words (fag & queer) that could be 'nice' slang words, or neutral. The other option in 1973 was 'homosexual'. Except for definitely nasty slang words, that was it, all of the choices that I can think of.
It would be cool to hear Brett that that on Ellen's Game of Games.
Nobody brings the cackle like Brett.
73 was the height of this show, 74 was almost as good
The height, for me, is when Richard Dawson was still on.
Never seen mama Cass on March game. She's lovely here
That's because she was on Match Game
such a beautiful voice
WOW BRING SO MANY MEMORIES WHEN I WAS A KID. FUNNY HOW THESE SHOWS WOULD KEEP US WATCHING TV. AND WE LEARNED. NOW THEY'RE ALL FULL OF WELL , HORSE. BLANK
Of course an old fart would think this.
@@cbreezy I’m 20 and I agree, I used to be able to learn from watching shows like modern marvels and how it’s made on tv as a kid now it’s all bs shows about Alaska or some celebrity.
@@TheMW2informer I should have added dumbasses too.
Stop yelling.
Breezy typical jackass, considers no other opinion but their own.
Mama Cass. Love her. Happy to see these memories. A time when these words or sayings were normal no worries about being politically correct
Words like “fag,” you mean? That word has always been hateful and never “normal.”
@@trudykennedy2087 not in England or going way back. America turned it into something ugly. America replaced it with gay. Thay word has been used more often in racist ugly situations. If you were alive in this era these phrases weren't offensive. There were many to describe many different classes different races even Caucasians and they talked to each other like this. And in the hippie norm, very many were bisexual free love so none took these words as offensive. Only modern day people who started their own agendas and reasons to protest and don't know anything about free love fighting the establishment loving people of all races, all religions, all gendres all sexual preferences etc
@@trudykennedy2087 Lol.
@@ednaatluxton4918 just because it was widely used doesnt mean it was never offensive. in england it is used as a cigarette but was still used as aomophobic slur.
Love this show its difficult to watch when the contestants aren't too bright. I love seeing these stars especially Cass bc she was an awesome person who died too young.
BANANNA
@@t-bo2734 - Right?? 😂🤦🏻♀️ (I just commented that myself. ✊😄)
Did anyone know that Brett Somers was married to Jack Klugman when this show was taped?
goodwilj, everyone knew, not a secret. She made jokes about him all the time; even when he was a panelist also.
She also played his wife on the odd couple... she was Blanche
Gene wanted Jack Klugman to appear; he was on the TV version of "The Odd Couple" at the time. Jack Klugman said, "only of you put my wife on too".
Klugman turned out to be wooden and unfunny while Somers was hilarious and her rapport with Reilly was just epic, and she became a permanent panelist.
Yes, she made reference to it often.
Wow! Lucky guy.
These were some of the dumbest contestants I've ever seen! Yellow Kangaroo?? WT!
Jay Bob l concur what a bunch of dumbass morons; where on earth did they find them?
Thanks for posting eps we're never going to see on air again, and also other episodes. Glad you are back : )

i've seen celebs refer to THEMSELVES as "fags" way into the nineties. a dean martin roast from this year '73 would wind up publicized as a scandal and could not be tolerated today. that being said, this episode of match game features mama Cass Elliot who only lives for another six months, five years before my own mother passed away. much too soon, in their thirties. young women, really.
Cass died the following year, age 32.
Both of those contestants have really sultry voices, especially 'Kris', the blonde chick who lost to Antoinette. And then, there's country bumpkin 'Beehive Connie' that shows up later.
Those were the days
Hell yes
"Gee our old LaSalle ran great ..."
In my younger days I always thought Richard Dawson and Robert Shaw were the same person.
Probably.... They play more than one character
@@newy4593 they're both actors. Both deceased now. Robert Shaw is Quint from Jaws. Thank you for your answer though.
Dawson was a perv
People need to look up the definition of the word. It has multiple meanings and quit censoring stuff because you don't like it! This was 1973 and a different world than we live in today!!
better world then
Oh come on. Everyone knows what was meant don't pussyfoot around like that. It was offensive and wrong in 1973, it's offensive and wrong now.
Thanks for posting this episode. I like watching the old shows to see how excited contestants get over winning a VCR or CD player. LOL
They only invented those in the '80s.
No one seemed to notice the weight joke Brett threw out just before Cass’ turn 😳 I always thought Brett was a little inappropriate. 🤷🏻♀️
I think Brett probably spent a lot of time around gay men and heard that word bandied about quite a bit by them and therefore thought nothing of using it herself. Big deal.
Exactly, it's not as if Gays don't use the term as well. They do.
Yeah, especially CNR.
Of course it was no big deal.this was back in 73 well before any PC speech codes
exactly. if you weren't around in those times and only know these ridiculous over sensitive pc times you can't understand. no one thought anything of it and life was good.
Greg Dueck yep, things change, in 50 years people will say “I can’t believe someone said (whatever) in 2018”
They can always bleep out the offending word & still be able to air the episode, you know. 🧐
bit late now innit
It was written on the card!
It's been over 40 years since I'd seen this show.
Loretta Swit only one still alive from that episode, age 80
What's up guys HOW DID U M.A.S.H. UP THAT FACT SORRY COULDN'T RESIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
Richard does a great W.C. Fields impression at 6:01.
Bliggick U KAWT THAT VERY OBSERVANT JANET JACKSON DOES A KILLER MAE WEST!! KANYE'S GREAT GREAT AUNT!!! F A C T S!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL
Mark Proksch does the best W.C. Fields.
I like Richard's Paul Lynde impression that he does from time to time on the show.
I was sweet sixteen when this aired. Sweet memories.
Was 18
So was I. I watch this game show all the time
I LOVED watching this show as a kid!! I don't even watch the crap that's on tv now...only the news and that's it.
The news is crap too.
I love this show! I don't know why, but it always perks me up!!! Gene was never the same when the show finally ended. It made his life; his daughter in so many words had said.
That in itself is sad, to measure your life up to a career, no matter what it is.
The show was lame, slow, low budget, looked cheap, and the questions were yawn worthy. 😴 It's like, "People actually used to watch this? They actually used to think this was good?!"
@@floogelhornzzz4770 They had a LOT of fun! It was good camaraderie! Left good memories for me as well as for Gene, Jerk!!!
@@floogelhornzzz4770 The correct response is...JERKWAD.
The only panelist still alive is Loretta Swit. At the time of this show, Brett Sommers and Jack Klugman were married.
RIP Bill Cullen, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Cass Elliott, Richard Dawson, and Gene Rayburn (the host of Match Game).
...but not together much longer; they separated in `74, and divorced in `78, I believe.
Roy Broussard wow man that makes me feel so old lol
I matched Mama Cass. flirt. Why mention the girl is pretty unless it plays into the answer.
Quint Quint that’s what I was thinking too.
Quint Quint Exactly! My answer and logic too!
