I love to wait to the very end to hear Johnny Olsen advertise all these products from the 70s and the 80s! It’s amazing that we remember this far back and how well the products were then. Like a vacuum cleaner would last you 30 years! Not six months! Things were built to last then.
It was taped on 11/5/1978, and this panel's CBS episodes aired on Dec 20-22, 26 ,27, 1978, so it would have aired probably in early 1979. The exact date depended on the market.
It's strange being married to a driving instructor. Every night in bed he tells me to PULL OVER. (Bzzt! Pretty opened ended question. Nobody matched anybody else.) My wife, the pretzel maker, must have had a bad dream. Last night she tied my ARMS in a knot. (1 match) It was a mistake to teach the lion to eat at the sound of a bell. Today, he ate the BELLY DANCER. (Bzzt! What does the Avon Lady have to do with a circus or lion tamer? Granted, Belly dancers aren't really part of the circus, either.) When I was a baby, I was left on a doorstep. For years, I thought I was a DOOR MAT. (2 matches, plus contestant) Don't order the aged beef. It's so old it's collecting SOCIAL SECURITY. (3 matches out of 3, plus contestant) Never stop fast in the marching band when there's a TROMBONE player behind you. (6 matches. My first thought was TUBA. I'm glad I changed it. Too bad for the contestant, though.) Take me to YOUR LEADER. ($250 match. I had thought of THE BALL GAME, but there was no OUT in the middle, so I went with Fannie's suggestion.) Much too SOON ($250 match. I almost went with MUCH. Oh, well. At least I matched something.) What Jack always was with Brett. Hen PECKED. (DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING!)
Brett and Charles look really great in this episode.
I loved watching Joe Santos on the Rockford Files.
Fannie Flagg is so beautiful! Always happy to watch her at Match Game!😊
Way to go, Brett. You helped that contestant win big.
Brett's Awesome!
I always liked this SUPER MATCH board better than the one that preceded it. This one looks like a proper game show board for its time.
Rusty learned the hard way not to stop abruptly with the trombone player behind you 😯😬
How did no one come up with "merge"?

watching on december 30. happy new year from fannie. hmm
Ah the early days of game shows, u know we don’t get many comical technical mess ups these days on modern game shows, except The Price Is Right
One reason I love this show so much, they don't edit anything out. From Gene's mistakes to the technical problems. I love it! ;0)
Match Game Synd episode 109 is this a skipped episode?
🐔 pecked was all I could think of
Hands at 10 and 2 😛
You know, BRETT is drunk again! She definitely has wet bring from all the booze
he's beautiful!
•”...to the living!?”
•••”To the living. Otherwise they stiff me.”
WHAT YEAR/MONTH THIS AIRED?

According to the MGPM episode guide, the air date for this was Jan 20, 1979. This was episode 20 of season 4.
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?

BRETT is about to pass out!
I'm surprised no women smacked Gene for his nasty remarks. I was 18 when the third and I would have not let him get Bible talking to me like that.
Rayburn was a creep.
Gene wasn't a bad game show host, but he WAS a creep!
but where did he mention the Bible. I went though it twice
notice how when Brett wins, almost, nobody acknowledges it, but when saint Richard gave the correct response, you couldn't hold em down
Fun fact the contestant got $250($2500) and $500($5000)=$7500
Is it just me, or does the male contestant slightly resemble Chris Benoit?
I don't know but he represented everything good about men in the 70s!!! WOOF!
