It's great that there were no real time limits on the game. They just kept rolling into next episode after the break like an ongoing carnival atmosphere. Genius.
Oh cool! I haven't heard about the Stud Machine in decades. My big sister had one. She made one of her old blue jean jackets into this gorgeous thing by studding a huge multicolored butterfly on the back and then studding the front pockets with baby butterflies. It was sweet! But it took so long to do that she only did one piece...lol. She was a teenager at the time, so yeah.
Gene and Brett may not have recognized "Sergeant Pepper," but Richard Dawson surely did, even though he didn't jump into the fray in this episode. His first wife, Diana Dors, to whom he was married from 1959-1967, appears on the cover. She is the lady in the shiny golden gown standing next to Shirley Temple, on the far right side of the cover. Diana was known as the British Marilyn Monroe, although Brits prefer to think of Marilyn as the American Diana Dors! Diana was the mother of RIchard's two sons, Mark and Gary, who were 7 and 5 when Sergeant Pepper came out in 1967, virtually ensuring that Richard would have been aware of his ex-wife's prominence on the album cover.
Great historical music trivia. And the cover depicts a funeral scene. This is the first time we are introduced to Paul McCartney's replacement who is several inches taller than the original Paul, has a longer face and a larger torso.
@@dmnemaine I was fooled like you until four years ago. After many hours of research I changed my mind. Sir Faul is several inches taller, his torso larger, his face longer.
The last episodes of 1973 leading into the first of 1974, so while everyone sleeps off the hangover (and if you're still hungover from New Years Eve at *this* time of year then you really need to take a look at your life) here's the notes... Recorded on 15th December 1973, these episodes were shown from Wednesday 26th to Friday 28th December, and the following Monday and Tuesday, which were New Year's Eve and New Year's Day respectively. Tech Notes: Despite the title of this video, this is not the first time Gene Rayburn uses the Sony ECM-51 wand (that honour goes to Episode 96), however it _is_ the first time that Gene uses it exclusively, finally eschewing the lapel microphone he'd worn for 115 episodes. He's no longer tethered - HE'S FREE! Sooner or later he's gonna be climbing over the audience to reach the camera at the back of the studio, he'll be attacking cameramen with the wand for showing him at a bad angle, attacking stagehands for holding up cue-cards a moment too late, and twatting Roger Dobkowitz just for being there. To start with, Gene would arrive on set holding the wand, but in later episodes he picks it up from the panelists' desk. Now onto the guests: It's the only week of actress Gail Fisher, who at the time played Peggy Fair, the secretary in Mannix. Fisher was one of the few black actresses in America to have a major role in a television drama series in the 1960s. Her other credits include guest roles in My Three Sons, Fantasy Island, General Hospital and Knight Rider. Her career suffered after she was arrested for drug possession in 1978. Fisher died in December 2000 at the age of 65 of kidney failure. The next newcomer is Lee Meriwether, actress and Miss America 1955. At the time of this episode she had started a long run in Barnaby Jones opposite her friend and mentor Buddy Ebsen; but had also appeared in the Batman film as Catwoman, in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Star Trek and The Time Tunnel. She would go on to play Lily Munster in the 1980s revival of The Munsters, and has appeared in Murder She Wrote, All My Children, Desperate Housewives and the reboot of Hawaii Five-0. As of February 2018, Meriwether is the only surviving panelist from this week. Bert Convy is in his seventh week. I told you he'd be back!
YAY!!! Now the show is complete! Gene Rayburn's signature microphone is with him from the start of the game. It's not the first time we've seen it but it's the first time he's opened the show with it.
Judy Ross' face somewhat reminds me of Lee Meriwether. Judy almost went RISQUE flashing the MATCH GAME CBS T-Shirt in front of Gene Rayburn. She would've been in trouble with Helen if Judy flashed MORE than the T-shirt on stage.
Speaking as a writer, if I ever write a story that takes place in the Army, I will have a character whom I shall name Sargent Stripes, not just because Lee Meriwether is so awesome but also because it is just a cool name.
Yes, it does look like the microphone Bob Barker used, while he hosted The Price Is Right. It also looks like the microphone Jim Perry used while he hosted Card Sharks from 1978 to 1981.
If you freeze frame at 10:13, you can see why Harry was brought back. Gail Fisher's card is visible with the answer "Biting". That is the answer that Judy Ross gave, and the only match that she made in that Round (Round 1). She would go on to win 4-3. (BTW, this is my first comment on any YT video!)
I really love the 1973 season - it was brand new and they all were on a learning curve for this new version - Having said that , I am glad that later on they allowed more time for the panelist chosen to come up with the #3 audience match guess
Them dumping on Sergeant Pepper and Sergeant stripes like they were dumb answers was funny. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band released in 1967, and earlier in the season they had broken into a song about a "Yellow Kangaroo" when a contestant gave a bad answer about a yellow suit. How could Gene and the entire cast *blank* on The Beatles? Sergeant stripes isn't a great answer, but the phrase does describe the rank insignia that military and police sergeants wear. Clearly the panelists were thinking of TV and film characters only and had trouble processing other uses (like Sergeant Major).
Whoever believes only a certain "celebrity" chosen all the time will win, that is incorrect ! Thank you for being chosen Charles and winning for the contestant! :) You looks so beautiful Lee! :) :)
First Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Charles) MEAT (if asked between Charles and Richard) ORGAN (if asked after Richard) KNIFE Part 2: CAROL Ross-Reynolds, round 1, question A: "If you think the elf bit is evil, I said he chopped up one of the MISFIT TOYS." (Bzzt!) Question B: (pantomiming answer while holding up card) CHOKING (Bzzt!) Round 2, question A: "'Gol-dern, I've struck uranium! My CLAIM's radioactive!'" (Bzzt!) Question B: "They got mixed up with a gang of eco-terrorists, and spent the winter DOING TIME." (Bzzt!) Second Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Charles) YORK (if asked after Charles) PEPPER Part 2: FIVE
I want a whole well-yeah-but-you-can't-say-that compilation, where there's an obvious and risque way to fill in the blank, but the contestant doesn't realize that the point of the show is to avoid that answer. :D
It's amazing that Gene knew about the Beatles' "Hey Jude" several episodes ago (Gary Burghoff matched that contestant's answer) but had never heard of "Sgt. Pepper," which was huge. Gene and the panel were so selectively unhip.
There's another episode that I saw years ago in which the clue was "____ Cleaver." When "Beaver" came up, no one--Gene, contestant, or panel understood it. Finally someone in the audience shouted out "Leave It To Beaver!" Gene replied, "Oh, was that his name?"
one of my few pet peeves with the show - it could be quite annoying - like the show where " Chuck Berry " came up. Nipsey Russell was trying to explain to clueless Brett who Chuck Berry is and she acts as if it makes no difference -if she doesn't know em' they must be nobody - Gene and some other panelists did this several times in later episodes - you, Thomas Dye and I were not the only ones turned off by it - very annoying
Didn't Gene get the mic back at Episode 96? I know this is the first episode where he carries it out, but it originally came into play during the Super Match at Episode 96.
This is who he really is: Reynaldo Rey was born on January 27, 1940 in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, USA as Harold Reynolds. He was an actor and writer, known for Friday (1995), White Men Can't Jump (1992) and First Sunday (2008). He was married to Evelyn. He died on May 28, 2015 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
I was just wondering who he was. And then I heard his name. So he was an up and coming comedian he started out in '73...... It was good seeing him. FINALLY I get to see a contestant that went on to be an acclaimed actor and comedian. May he R.I.P..
Smokey the Bear said, "everyone thought my wife and I were hibernating all winter. actually we were vacationing in Aruba." Man, that Harry was a little stodgy. Glad he's gone.
Today Charles racked up win #5 in the head-to-head match, behind only Richard and Betty with 6 each. But percentage-wise, CNR is *way* ahead of the pack with a 62.5% matching rate so far! (Although his total number of times up to bat is still relatively low, perhaps skewing the stats.) Here are all the celebs (only 5) to have scored 3 or more matches so far, with their % accuracy so far: Charles - 62.5% (5 wins in 8 attempts). Betty - 42.9% (6 wins in 14 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (4 wins in 12 attempts). Brett - 28.6% (4 wins in 14 attempts). Richard - 24% (6 wins in 25 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 116, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.
Harry looks familiar like he was on a later episode. Don't see what all the fuss is about Judy. Convey also seems to be predating Robin Williams' early antics. Summers sure gets catty about Raymond paying attention to other female panellists.
Brett Somers cattiness was all part of her schtick. None of it was real. She created a catty woman character for "Match Game". Apparently she did it well.
I saw where Harry, the contestant that lost, was on another episode of Match Game? He lost on this episode but returns to do show again. They must've called him back because of a mistake they made? I've got to watch the other one and find out.
I feel so sorry for Brett (even when she's annoying) because she has such low self esteem she has to be the center of attention all . . . the . . . time.
I came back to watch this after seeing where he comes back later in the week, so he gives a crappy answer with donkey and looses and so he complains it's not fair and gets to come back. hummmm, I've seen other contestants with the issue he supposedly had and they didn't get to come back.
It was mentioned that in the previous episode, hot Judy actually cheated by having the quick eye when she saw Gail putting her card in the slot with the word "BITING". It was the only match she had in round 1 of that episode. That's why Harry was invited back.
Rest in peace to everyone who is alive today that will one day be dead which is the same as never being born. Life only matters because we make it matter but in the grand scheme of things Nothing Matters.
@@dmnemaine Are you an atheist? A soul is a metaphysical entity that exists outside of the body. Many observe a trans physical form leaving the body of their loved ones when they pass away. People can have a knowing or intuition that the soul exists. There are scientific studies of near death experiences that explore this further. Starts in this presentation at 22:00. ua-cam.com/video/qqJXa3o1Rqo/v-deo.html
On a previous show Brett didn't know who Chuck Berry was. Now she has never heard of The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper. And Gene dissed the audience for even selecting that as an option. They don't know they are the best band ever!
@@mysticmaverick1 Because Brett was doing her panelist that everyone loves to hate schtick. That was one of the biggest reasons that people watched Match Game. They loved to hate Brett Somers.
@@jodiescookin1 he was the star and he had a big ego! Watch his reaction when he is not picked especially by a pretty girl. He even mumbles under his breath. I've been watching everyday for 3 years since I've been crippled for last 2 years
Why did they keep Brett on the show? She is such a rude person! I do not like her attitude then or now. I still like this show. I wish a quality remake would be made. I do not know who I would want on the show though. If I thought long and hard I cold come up with people that would help make a quality remake of this show good. I would start with some of the cast from Fuller House to start with. I think I would choose Marie Osmond as the host. I think I would ask Vanna White and Pat Sajak to be on the panel.
When I saw this growing up I liked it as banter to keep things interesting, but now it really bugs me as well. As if so hard up for attention, and the constant mention of hubby Klugman.
The point of Brett Somers was to be the annoying catty one. She was playing a character. She was supposed to annoy the audience. That was her whole reason for being on the show.
It's great that there were no real time limits on the game. They just kept rolling into next episode after the break like an ongoing carnival atmosphere. Genius.
For those who are nearsigted like me and Charles, Judy's shirt said, "MATCH GAME CBS." She did a fine job. Love the show!
The best shape CBS has been in years lmao 😂
FINALLY!! Bert 's back!!!
That was hilarious, Sargeant Stripes...That's Stars snd stripes lol 😆
For everyone wondering, Gene used a Sony ECM-51 microphone with the AD-38 windscreen and telescoping body.
good to see the lovely Gail -really enjoyed her on Mannix - rest in peace, Gail
OH, That's where she's from! I knew she looked familiar.
Oh cool! I haven't heard about the Stud Machine in decades. My big sister had one. She made one of her old blue jean jackets into this gorgeous thing by studding a huge multicolored butterfly on the back and then studding the front pockets with baby butterflies. It was sweet!

I was never a fan but he is very funny on this show. He was only 57 when he passed away.
Judy is gorgeous!
She's at least 70 years old now
She reminds me of Lesley Anne Warren
She's cute. Great smile.
Like a 70s stewardess.
Judy goes in the top ten of cutest contestants!
Cute , nothing ..... she's absolutely gorgeous !
You’re the man Charles. The proof is your sensitive side.
Charles was the funniest regular guest on that show. Richard a close 2nd. If u asked Brett, she’d tell u that she was.

It actually looks more like Bob Barker’s “signature” microphone, since both shows were recorded in the same studio.
Yes, it does look like the microphone Bob Barker used, while he hosted The Price Is Right. It also looks like the microphone Jim Perry used while he hosted Card Sharks from 1978 to 1981.

Harry Reynolds aka The Late Great Reynaldo Rey
Yes! I knocked him off immediately! Looked him up on wiki. Said he did 2 of these Match Game shows..
First Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Charles) MEAT
(if asked between Charles and Richard) ORGAN
(if asked after Richard) KNIFE
Part 2: CAROL
Ross-Reynolds, round 1, question A: "If you think the elf bit is evil, I said he chopped up one of the MISFIT TOYS." (Bzzt!)
Question B: (pantomiming answer while holding up card) CHOKING (Bzzt!)
Round 2, question A: "'Gol-dern, I've struck uranium! My CLAIM's radioactive!'" (Bzzt!)
Question B: "They got mixed up with a gang of eco-terrorists, and spent the winter DOING TIME." (Bzzt!)
Second Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Charles) YORK
(if asked after Charles) PEPPER
Part 2: FIVE
I don't think "eco-terrorist" was a thing in 1973.
That sure is. Reynaldo. Rey. From 227
She reminds me of Liv Tyler.
I want a whole well-yeah-but-you-can't-say-that compilation, where there's an obvious and risque way to fill in the blank, but the contestant doesn't realize that the point of the show is to avoid that answer. :D

It's amazing that Gene knew about the Beatles' "Hey Jude" several episodes ago (Gary Burghoff matched that contestant's answer) but had never heard of "Sgt. Pepper," which was huge. Gene and the panel were so selectively unhip.

Nice microphone.
Did Gene Rayburn and Bob Barker share the same microphone? Looks like it!
They did. It's a Sony ECM-51A. Bob Barker used his retracted, Gene extended his and used it as a pointer.
Awesome shirt.
did anyone realize there were 2 private eye secretaries on the panel.
Judy is Lana Del Rey!!
what does Charles have on the back of his head?
A rivet
What is hanging off the back of Charles head.
I was going to ask the same thing!!!
The lanyard of his glasses.
Judy looks like Barbara Orbison!
Judy is cute!
HOLY LORD, Gene Rayburn didn't recognize Sergeant Pepper as the Beatles' album (which was released in 1967 - 6 years prior).
I have noticed that he was pretty oblivious to current events that people would know.
Convy was on MG quite a bit in 73.
15:14 - "You'll never take me alive!"
Didn't Gene get the mic back at Episode 96? I know this is the first episode where he carries it out, but it originally came into play during the Super Match at Episode 96.
I seen it earlier , but it only made a brief appearance-guess Gene couldn't handle regular mikes

What the heck is hanging off the back of Charles' head?
Cyndy W I think it’s his toupee.
In later episodes they talked about Charles having a ponytail, so maybe its a ribbon or something?
I've thought it was the elastic from an adjustable eyeglasses holder. Those things usually mess up the wearers' hair in this same way.
What did Harry do to get invited back for that classic episode with Dorothy Zinny?
This is who he really is: Reynaldo Rey was born on January 27, 1940 in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma, USA as Harold Reynolds.

Man, that Harry was a little stodgy. Glad he's gone.
What?
Harry returned 2 days later. One of the celebrities accidentally showed an answer and the show brought him back to be fair and give him another shot.
Don't be shy , Judy -show off them puppies
Today Charles racked up win #5 in the head-to-head match, behind only Richard and Betty with 6 each.
But percentage-wise, CNR is *way* ahead of the pack with a 62.5% matching rate so far!

Bert - 33.3% (4 wins in 12 attempts).
Brett - 28.6% (4 wins in 14 attempts).

@@mysticmaverick1 What is a "metaphysical entity"?
@@dmnemaine You can look up the definition of those words if you are curious. If you are an atheist, so be it.
I'd say Judy was about 26 here, that would make her 73. Yikes !
Gail Fisher didn't make it to that age. She was 65 when she passed away.
Brett. Drunk again.
No introductory kiss for Gail?
milojko mustafovic - or Lee.
@@XXthekingofyouXX good, I'm glad to see it wasn't just because she's black
It hadn't become a ritual yet.
You think ole gene ever dipped his wick in a contestant or brett? Lol
On a previous show Brett didn't know who Chuck Berry was. Now she has never heard of The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper. And Gene dissed the audience for even selecting that as an option. They don't know they are the best band ever!
She knew who Chuck Berry was. She was playing dumb.
@@dmnemaine Why?
@@mysticmaverick1 Because Brett was doing her panelist that everyone loves to hate schtick. That was one of the biggest reasons that people watched Match Game. They loved to hate Brett Somers.
In 1974 they were told to pick Richard the most!
Why?
@@jodiescookin1 he was the star and he had a big ego! Watch his reaction when he is not picked especially by a pretty girl. He even mumbles under his breath. I've been watching everyday for 3 years since I've been crippled for last 2 years
@@davidshowmaker4408 thanks for the explanation.
@@davidshowmaker4408 He certainly DID have a big ego, didn't he?
Why did they keep Brett on the show? She is such a rude person! I do not like her attitude then or now. I still like this show. I wish a quality remake would be made. I do not know who I would want on the show though. If I thought long and hard I cold come up with people that would help make a quality remake of this show good. I would start with some of the cast from Fuller House to start with. I think I would choose Marie Osmond as the host. I think I would ask Vanna White and Pat Sajak to be on the panel.
When I saw this growing up I liked it as banter to keep things interesting, but now it really bugs me as well. As if so hard up for attention, and the constant mention of hubby Klugman.
The point of Brett Somers was to be the annoying catty one. She was playing a character. She was supposed to annoy the audience. That was her whole reason for being on the show.
Why make a great looking shirt and then cover it up ? Moronic
I can think of two reasons. 1) A lot of straight men are immature and can't control their hormones. 2) She also made the jacket.
@@dmnemaine Thanks for the input, Mr Blackwell
