  • This is by far my favorite episode produced of Match Game. Gene wears this hideous suit which the entire panel is disgusted with. Just classic!
    Bert Convy, Brett Somers, Jack Carter, Fannie Flagg, Richard Dawson, and Ann Elder

    LOVE these old MATCH GAME episodes. I was only five years old when this episode first aired and one of my earliest childhood memories was sitting on the living room floor of my childhood home in Connecticut in front of our large CONSOLE television (people of a certain age will remember them), and eating my bowl of cereal in the morning usually Trix or Count Chocula and watching MATCH GAME. This show was a lot of fun and it was great for teaching a kid like me who liked to read about ABSTRACT thinking in terms of putting WORDS together. Great memories!!

    In case anybody is wondering why they went so nuts after she won $5,000, I checked and $5,000 in 1973 is like almost $28,000 now in 2015. I was in the Navy then and I made just a little over $4,000 for the whole year so if I had won $5,000 in one shot I'd have probably gone a little crazy too.
