Pepper or spearmint was a tough choice for me, however Jane's answer of after dinner mint wasn't bad. I gotta admit Richard does a great WC Fields impression
The judges can't make up their minds on whether or not general and specific match each other. In the last two episodes they matched general with specific, now they're back to not doing it with knife/pizza cutter. A pizza cutter is most definitely a knife.
contestant jane looking pretty in her close ups, a softer look up close. ann elder at least twice now saying she's looking for her prince, she apparently never married.
@@sailorbychoice1 Those are my two favorites also. Hollywood Squares is my favorite, but Match Game is a wonderful #2. The remakes are sad; they should make us question why we accept certain kinds of people as celebrities, how easily we bestow that status.
Is there less oxygen on the upper tier? No Gene, it's because Brett was constantly running her mouth so the others couldn't think, and Brett didn't focus on writing an answer until you got after her.
Gene had a lot of patience with Brett. Can't believe she was only 49 or 50 on this show. So she started out being obnoxious and annoying even on the earlier shows. She must have been drinking back then too, maybe that's what aged her so much
It's interesting that when Gene Parts he's hair at the left side of his head he looks like a conservative but when he Parts his hair on the right side of his head he looks like a liberal
Truck Taxi that’s funny. Hey here’s a thought: if he hadn’t passed, we could have voted for him for president. With hair parting like that, we KNOW he’d unite the country by working across the aisles. 😊😊😊🤪🤪🤪
They should have screened these contestants a WHOLE lot better. Jane and Vicki are both pretty poor players. Thankfully, someone HAS to win eventually.
They just thought they were so funny and cute. So far from the truth. They were grating on your nerves. But then again, I rolled my eyes to a permanent state every time Richard Dawson would yell present whenever Gene would call his name.
@@amysmith2265 I agree, he uses his joke too many times and they get old fast. Seem like he only a few jokes that kept using over and over again.. Not to mention the reusing the same card messages over and over again.
@@sdlively27 This is straight outta Wikipedia, but I'm too lazy to summarize what people who fail to appreciate CNR (of whom I am quite fond on this show) need to know about some of his non-TV endeavors: Reilly made his film debut with an uncredited role in A Face in the Crowd (1957), directed by Elia Kazan, although most of his early career was spent on the stage. He was a regular and popular performer in comic roles for several summer seasons in the 1950s at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. Reilly appeared in many Off Broadway productions. His big break came in 1960 with the enormously successful original Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie. In the groundbreaking musical, Reilly had a small onstage part and was the standby for Dick Van Dyke in the leading role of Albert Peterson. In 1961, Reilly was in the original cast of another big Broadway hit, the Pulitzer prize-winning musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. For his memorable origination of the role of Bud Frump, Reilly earned a 1962 Tony Award for featured actor in a musical. In 1964, Reilly was featured in the original cast of Hello, Dolly!, another enormous success on Broadway. For originating the role of Cornelius Hackl, Reilly received a second nomination for a Tony Award for performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical.
@@sdlively27 He had quite the career in the legit theater. Wikipedia glosses over it. He was in "Hello, Dolly!" with the great Ethel Merman in 1964. I learned this earlier when people were wondering whether he and Jack Cassidy had ever had a fling. I didn't look into that, but I ascertained that they were on Broadway in different musicals in 1964. Those theaters are all in close proximity-I think you wrote about the area when someone referred to Schubert Alley-and many of those performers would gather in local watering holes after shows ... until the coronavirus struck 🗽, the same sort of multi-cast socializing went on. But, alas, I suspect that people who don't enjoy CNR on MG would really look at him any differently based on this impressive CV. But they should definitely stop seeing him and Brett as a duo. I think he hides his vexation with her when she really gets self-centered and sloppy pretty well. I think they really were friends, but as a Tony-nominated director he would probably have wanted more orderly chaos on MG. And some of Brett's disruptive behavior is an embarrassment.
I really like Bert Convey. He seems like a decent person. Someone you could have a beer with. 🍺
Bert Convey smokin' hot.
Fannie Flagg was incredible.
It's weird seeing her sit in the #4 seat, isn't it?
It was Richard’s Show all the way !
She's the BEST!!!!!
I'm missing Charles!
I hate to throw this up...😂😂😂
Pepper or spearmint was a tough choice for me, however Jane's answer of after dinner mint wasn't bad. I gotta admit Richard does a great WC Fields impression
I wish Ann Elder would stand up to let us see that whole outfit cause she is a WOW
That wig is weighting her down. She CAIN'T stand up!
For real
The judges can't make up their minds on whether or not general and specific match each other. In the last two episodes they matched general with specific, now they're back to not doing it with knife/pizza cutter. A pizza cutter is most definitely a knife.
It's downright infuriating in fact
Fannie Flagg - the gay hero you didn’t know you always had.
Right On!!!!
Hey, Johnny Mathis showed up!
Why would anyone choose Bert or Brett for the big money is beyond me...Richard gave more correct answers consistently.
Bert gave a very good answer. "After Dinner" from the contestant is what was rotten.
Richard wore that polka dot shirt in the episode just before this.
Are you being a tattle tale?
These were taped in one day but some brought a change of clothes
They play that music on purpose so you cant concentrate
Initially, I thought Ann Elder was wearing a swimsuit . She certainly has the body for one - YES
One fine 70s blonde.

I think her very dark hair and eyes make her hairstyle far more noticeable than if she were a blonde.
Ann Elder: The most beautiful woman of the decade!
Agreed and especially in that dress!

We’ve got to be getting close to the end of the year
Nick Johnson We are getting close to the end of 1973. Moving into 1974 sometime in February.
thanx for posting these here. MG is one of my 2 favorite Game shows, MG and Hollywood Squares (in no particular order); both got butchered in remakes.
@@sailorbychoice1 Those are my two favorites also. Hollywood Squares is my favorite, but Match Game is a wonderful #2. The remakes are sad; they should make us question why we accept certain kinds of people as celebrities, how easily we bestow that status.
Wow, that maxi skirt !!
Midis and maxis came back in 1970 but didn’t catch on for daytime since most women looked bettter in short hemlines..
@@jw77019I'm guessing the contestants brought their best dress regardless of style.
I've always liked this show, but Brett drives me up the wall!
100% Agree!!!
Jack Carter caught onto Brett's shenanigans already
Definitly Dave Foley's mom.
Is there less oxygen on the upper tier? No Gene, it's because Brett was constantly running her mouth so the others couldn't think, and Brett didn't focus on writing an answer until you got after her.
I for one really don't care for Brett. She is always running her mouth. She wants to be the center of attention.
Brett’s laugh makes me happy.
I just think she's like me, sometimes I have to read something over again till it sinks in, because we wander, inadvertently.
@@beckydutra6543read it quietly.
Gene had a lot of patience with Brett. Can't believe she was only 49 or 50 on this show. So she started out being obnoxious and annoying even on the earlier shows. She must have been drinking back then too, maybe that's what aged her so much
She was definitely drinking throughout the series. When she's not she's tolerable.
well Brett keeps bringing it up.. so ..... Here she is 49 yrs old
Whaaaat? I thought she was at least 55 xD
She had a facelift in 74 or 75. Liked her hair long in classic flip as it is here.
@@jw77019I thought so. Nothing wrong with that she looked better.
FLIED LICE... keeping it klassy Gene 🤨🤦🏻♀️
R E E R So Funny Gene Is Magnificent
It's interesting that when Gene Parts he's hair at the left side of his head he looks like a conservative but when he Parts his hair on the right side of his head he looks like a liberal
weird.
Truck Taxi that’s funny. Hey here’s a thought: if he hadn’t passed, we could have voted for him for president. With hair parting like that, we KNOW he’d unite the country by working across the aisles. 😊😊😊🤪🤪🤪
Jane looking attractive in this episode. Much better outfit.
Everyone saying she looks like a man, I honestly thought so at first too. But you're right on this one. Long hair would have been such an improvement.
@@zq9m3xh8 and it wasn't very nice. 😔 And I bet she's an amazing mom.
Anyone know of the contestant howard norris. So fine but so dum
They should have screened these contestants a WHOLE lot better. Jane and Vicki are both pretty poor players. Thankfully, someone HAS to win eventually.
I don't think there was much of a screening process. If you had a heartbeat and were available for a couple of days you where in.
Waste! Not one of the blue dead tree materials was recycled. Land Fill problem for California. 6-2-2022
Brett and Charles drove me up the wall. All they did was crave air time because they were doing NOTHING except be on this show.
They just thought they were so funny and cute. So far from the truth. They were grating on your nerves. But then again, I rolled my eyes to a permanent state every time Richard Dawson would yell present whenever Gene would call his name.
Charles was very active in theater. If you listen, he mentions it occasionally.
