I always read the comments that all you commentators make, before I watch the show when it first starts. And I’m glad that they brought the little girl back, because there was a couple of comments about this, and she deserves to come back. I remember her from another game show and it was match game, but I think it was a couple years later. But I’ll take your guises word for it! Thank you commentators!

She did a lot of summer stock. Shes not.as goofy as Goldie Hawn or as cerebral as Lily Tomlin. They were the big movie stars out of Laugh-In. You don't hear about Arte Johnson or Ruth Buzzi either.
20:47 was the first match and they mistakenly gave her two green triangles. They quickly took it away and then added it in when Jo Anne matched. Confusing!
They brought her back but they should not have, had she said Friends then girl friends would have been a point. When answering be less specific. OR GO HOME.
I understand why the judge didn’t accept girlfriends. There’s a big difference in platonic friends and intimate friends. There’s less of a chance of you losing platonic friends eating garlic than intimate friends. In the 1970s the public didn’t think of same sex as intimate friends either. So that never would have come up.
When President Reagan was in office, we had Reaganomics! And money was flowing! Everybody was making money hand over fist! Those were the good old days
That's a ticket plug they use to combine two protruding features of celebrities/contestants. You can view some of them. But I think that's hilarious. Avery Schreiber's mustache. Need to find the actual clip. Probably from 1975. This is a small part on why the show was funny. Offbeat instances like this.
I understand the judge's not matching "girlfriends" with "friends". However, by the same reasoning (specific vs. general), they should also not have matched the following contestant's "person" with "hunter." But the point was awarded. So I'm glad they brought Gloria back for another show and another chance.
the judge was on right and i seen this before, if the contestant give and specific answer different than that of the celebrities the fault is on her and not on the judge, she could have said friends and would had matched everybody, aldo i understand a man's girlfriend is also a friend but that's not what she meant, she meant girlfriend as couples. same for alcohol, don't want to use the words whisky or beer, in this game you want to use the word alcohol to maximize your chances of matching.👈✔️
Why should she have come back? She specifically said "girlfriends." It was foolish of her to specify gender, because the question didn't call for that. If she had said what was logical, she would have had six matches. Did they have protesters outside the studio after this episode? That's as good a reason as any, for that woman to have been brought back.
That is really a crying shame! Because everybody said friends when she said girlfriends well I have a lot of men that are my friends so would they be boyfriend? Yes. So friends should’ve matched 100%! They just wanted this guy to win.
I don’t understand why Harum and wives matched? Because a lot of times their daughters are in the harem also! And they’re very particular about their daughters. So they would not be a wife.
Or similar questions that produce the same routine answers, like "kiss", "bra", or "wife". (The best answer for nearly every Godfather question is "spaghetti".) I suppose these are giveaway questions to favor contestants who are loyal viewers of the show. Either that or the writers are just lazy.
But that is not what the original question said. It said the "Frankenstein monster" which is different than Dr. Frankenstein. It's very clear that it was Frankenstein's monster.
@@pencils812They taped 5 or 6 on Saturday and the same on Sunday. They'd have two weeks worth of daytime shows. Idk if the taped the PM shows at the same time or not.
I guessing the person who runs that broad got confused who was playing and gave Wayne's point to the girl instead and then corrected it but forgot to take the point back away from the girl.. Kind of like when the music comes on to early for a win, it was just a mistake..
Girlfriends /friends it’s a match!! If she’d said friends and celebrity said girlfriends it would’ve matched. They should get a new question or have her back.
Well if you listen they were all plotting to answer the next one with girlfriend and Richard said you know what my answer going to be.. If you put girlfriend in the blank on the next question well..I think that what was going on. The bottom tier was plotting to put girlfriend for the answer for the next question.
@@sdlively27 I thin Ira's ruling was okay in this case, but this plot would have resulted in a 0-0 tie and sent the match into a new tie breaker, giving the "robbed" contestant another shot. Funny thing is that if Ira had matched "friends" we probably would have seen a 6-6 tie with the "puck" answer and gotten another tie breaker anyway.
Gotta remember the times back when women rarely worked, and you NEVER heard of women hunters. So, it actually makes sense. You're looking at it from a liberated point of view, and back then, things were different. But girlfriends is too specific, and friends could be male or female.
@@kathycobb4451 Exactly. Euel Gibbons was too specific, but man and hunter were about as generic as person given the context of a bad shot out hunting.
ROFL! Another fine after dinner episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0) Phyllis Diller! ;0) Gene Rayburn! ;0) When she smiles her stockings lift.. Brett! ;0) I guess the sound guy loved that.. ;0) horse.. side of the bran.
The Frankenstein's Monster question was a rotten one, but I'm surprised nobody gave the classic answer to the joke: an IRS Auditor. Now that would frighten almost anybody.
The Frankenstein question is a weird one, but I thought maybe the monster would attempt to scare people by dressing up as the thing that scared him. And what Frankenstein's Monster feared was FIRE. 🔥 He disguised himself as a flame/fire?
It's the Frankenstein Monster's idea of what is frightening. Jo Ann was playing an "opposite" game, much like what they did with "The Addams Family" and "The Munsters". For example, Herman would have thought that it would be frightening to dress up like Marilyn.
For the Frankenstein question I would say Phyllis Diller as well, because half her charm was self deprecating humor. There's a fair amount of BS going on in this show, just a few episodes ago where HAT was matched with HEAD, seriously folks, that sucks
@@brettmiddleton7949 I'd bet he still thought the same thing. Anybody the Republicans ran was going to beat Carter in 1980. Carter just had the misfortune to be president during an economic downturn.
Reagan was the exact President we needed. Carter, Ford, Nixon, LBJ was a long stretch of economic & foreign affair ineptitude. 80's were known as the decade of excess. Even 🤡's like you voted for Reagan in 1984. Won 49 out of 50 states!
Actually, given the way Phyllis Diller habitually put herself down, she probably would have laughed her trademark laugh at their jokes. (I really liked Phyllis too!)

Nutty Nelson is a rotten shot. The last time he came home from a hunting trip he had a game warden strapped to the fender of his car.
Sorry , panel - friends does not match girlfriends- an historic moment - on this I agree with Ira
I looked up Wayne Roundree on Facebook and I think I found him, living in Del Rio, TX. Beautiful family in his profile picture.
I went to look too, I think you might be right.
JoAnne Worley was/is a beautiful woman ! I wonder why her career never really "took off?
I often wondered the same thing
Because she is really a man.
I even liked her before I was supposed to like women yet.
She was a hottie back then.
She did a lot of summer stock. Shes not.as goofy as Goldie Hawn or as cerebral as Lily Tomlin. They were the big movie stars out of Laugh-In. You don't hear about Arte Johnson or Ruth Buzzi either.
20:47 was the first match and they mistakenly gave her two green triangles. They quickly took it away and then added it in when Jo Anne matched. Confusing!
One of our commentators had said, that nutty, Nelson had a game warden attached to the front of his car! And that was my first thought!
Panelists:
1. Nipsey Russell
2. Brett Somers
3. Charles Nelson Reilly
4. Jackie Joseph
5. Richard Dawson
6. Jo Anne Worley
Oof, "monster" was a horrible answer, what was he thinking? But he got in the groove with "Puck" and "Rider"
They brought her back but they should not have, had she said Friends then girl friends would have been a point. When answering be less specific. OR GO HOME.
It's gonna be a massacre for Ira
No he because Ira made the right call
I understand why the judge didn’t accept girlfriends. There’s a big difference in platonic friends and intimate friends. There’s less of a chance of you losing platonic friends eating garlic than intimate friends. In the 1970s the public didn’t think of same sex as intimate friends either.

Can't believe Gene didn't know that Franenstein was the doctor and his monsters name was Prometheus which means Mr Roundtree was not so far off !!
When President Reagan was in office, we had Reaganomics! And money was flowing! Everybody was making money hand over fist! Those were the good old days
I love the thumbnail.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Friends Riot of ‘74”
What’s the clip of Brett with a moustache off?
That's a ticket plug they use to combine two protruding features of celebrities/contestants. You can view some of them. But I think that's hilarious. Avery Schreiber's mustache. Need to find the actual clip. Probably from 1975.

Richard loves wearing turquoise blue turtle necks and white pants.

However, by the same reasoning (specific vs. general), they should also not have matched the following contestant's "person" with "hunter." But the point was awarded. So I'm glad they brought Gloria back for another show and another chance.
Ira was notoriously inconsistent.
Fortunately, Gloria does come back on the show several shows later (Episode 227). That was nice.
Glad because that was a bad call imo
@@garfield2439 That it was.
Well, she should have said friends, not "girl" friends. Leaves out the guys, however "friends" include the girls

Dawson loved to be in the spotlight
I'm guessing you couldn't say the panelists "lynch" the judge.
why
I don’t understand why Harum and wives matched? Because a lot of times their daughters are in the harem also! And they’re very particular about their daughters. So they would not be a wife.
What other POSSIBLE answer is there for the Mickey Mouse question other than "Ear"?
Prequel to "School Riot"!
Gene’s favorite tie again.
3:35 GENE RAYBURN!! I Love it!!!
When watching these episodes in aggregate, it's amazing how many times they repeat the same questions.
Or similar questions that produce the same routine answers, like "kiss", "bra", or "wife". (The best answer for nearly every Godfather question is "spaghetti".) I suppose these are giveaway questions to favor contestants who are loyal viewers of the show. Either that or the writers are just lazy.
@@brettmiddleton7949 Kind of hard to "favor" a particular contestant, since they choose which question they get blindly.
Frankenstein is the doctor who made the monster. 🙄
Gene, Frankenstein is NOT a monster, he's a Dr.
But that is not what the original question said. It said the "Frankenstein monster" which is different than Dr. Frankenstein. It's very clear that it was Frankenstein's monster.
Yeo, the original question read "Frankenstein's Monster".
So.....Euell Gibbons isn't a "Person" or a "Man" ??...Okaaaay.
It's the general/specific thing.
6:08-Brett says "I'd divorce him"... unfortunately, two years later, it would take place...
She suffered from the Tattletales curse - appear on Tattletales, get a divorce. Gene Rayburn and Betty White escaped it, though.
I wonder if they shot multiple shows in the same day? It seems like the slate has the same date, unless that's not a date.
It seems that they taped 5 a day. Sometimes on Friday and sometimes on Monday.
There is a youtube video saying they shot 6 a day when they had the PM version going at the same time.
@@pencils812They taped 5 or 6 on Saturday and the same on Sunday. They'd have two weeks worth of daytime shows. Idk if the taped the PM shows at the same time or not.
13:36 anybody see the production mistake they gave the lady the point on the board
yes - very confusing
Hahaha was coming here to post that very thing. It is because Nipsey said "friend" and the judges were still stuck on the word friend.
I guessing the person who runs that broad got confused who was playing and gave Wayne's point to the girl instead and then corrected it but forgot to take the point back away from the girl.. Kind of like when the music comes on to early for a win, it was just a mistake..
so funny, I didn't realize that, good catch
It's Ronald Colman, not Coleman.
Spelling doesn't count on Match Game.
Girlfriends /friends it’s a match!!
If she’d said friends and celebrity said girlfriends it would’ve matched.
They should get a new question or have her back.
I wanna know what happened at 12:27 that made this whole thing go south and the entire bottom tier and Gene are about ready to wet themselves.
Well if you listen they were all plotting to answer the next one with girlfriend and Richard said you know what my answer going to be..

6:44 someone in the audience yelled out harem

So Friends and Girlfriends don't match; but Man and Hunter match Person? Ugh.

The Frankenstein's Monster question was a rotten one, but I'm surprised nobody gave the classic answer to the joke: an IRS Auditor. Now that would frighten almost anybody.
I thought his maker would've been a clever answer. 😁
Wayne's jacket looks like a cheap carpet.

He disguised himself as a flame/fire?
Mother in law
How is Little Bo Peep frightening?
A seven-foot tall Little Bo Peep, with bolts in her neck? Could be pretty scary.
It's the Frankenstein Monster's idea of what is frightening. Jo Ann was playing an "opposite" game, much like what they did with "The Addams Family" and "The Munsters". For example, Herman would have thought that it would be frightening to dress up like Marilyn.

Brett would've been the other obvious answer for me.
Wayne has the personality of a rock.
You mean he was a funny contestant
Be nice he's probably dead and gone by now.
Ronald Reagan and Ronald McDonald: two famous clowns. Except Ronald McDonald never hurt anybody.
HAHAHA! *YUP*!
Richard Dawson just gained yet more points with my saying Raygun wanting to be king.
Sounds a HELLUVA lot like our current dick-tator.
I'd bet Richard nearly swallowed his own tongue when 1980 came along.
@@brettmiddleton7949 I'd bet he still thought the same thing. Anybody the Republicans ran was going to beat Carter in 1980. Carter just had the misfortune to be president during an economic downturn.

Releasing all of the mentally ill into society without resources was brilliant 🤨🙄
Or Gavin Newsom or Jerry Brown.
Dawson should just have kept his British Labour Socialist views to himself. It is a Game Show, NOT ''Firing Line"....lol
Gloria Green should contest that judges ruling.
Gloria answer friends/grienfrinds answers did not match
There's no mechanism to contest a judges ruling. However they did bring contestants back fairly often when there were questionable rulings.
I loved Phyllis Diller their bullshit jokes about her weren't funny they were ignorant RIP Phyllis Duller
Actually, given the way Phyllis Diller habitually put herself down, she probably would have laughed her trademark laugh at their jokes. (I really liked Phyllis too!)
Wayne has the personality of a parsnip, I'd have said carrot but his hair is so blonde.I hope they bring Gloria back, that was not a good call by Ira.
Wayne was a very funny cuntestant
Be nice.
The judge must be racist to rule against her for girlfriends. She would have had 6 matches.
Friends & girlfriends are not the same thing. Ira actually made the right call
That's pretty harsh, it's a game show relax and try to see the humor. The judge was right in the case.
Were game show contestants always so dull and boring back in the 70s? That's my observation after watching 224 episodes so far.
They were allowed to be themselves, not the pretend over-dramatics they get game show contestants to do now.
The way the celebs and the audience were behaving what would you do. They were ready to storm the stage for God's sake!
Continuing to stir up the controversy: Ira ruled against Gloria because she was Black!
I felt sorry for Gloria.
@@rodneyspears8097 I did too, but for giving a specific answer.
I truly hope that was not the case....
Nah. It was the general/specific thing that got her. Match Game always had issues with that.
If that were the case, why would they bring her back on the show to give her another chance. Plenty of black people won lots of money on Match Game.
