"Tow-headed" refers to someone with white-blond hair because tow is the name for a really pale blond flax fiber, which every village that could grew to make linen clothes with.
I watched Fuller House one time and DJ told Danny that tow head was what they called someone who was smart (and that she and Stephanie were called that all though high school)
@@kristabrewer6736 I remember that Full House episode, Joey said kids called him a tow head too when he was a kid, thats the only time I ever heard someone use that word. I always thought they were saying Toe-Head.
I’m 49 and I had to look up the meaning of “pieces of eight”. Hmmm. Learn something new every day! The only thing I could think of was, “Pieces of You” by Ella Harper, and that certainly wasn’t published back then. That was a hard one.

I can't Express my appreciation for you that posts Classic Match Game. While it's true you can bake a cake by substituting eggs,sugar etc and it will "LOOK" like a cake will NEVER taste as good(or be good for you) as orginal, just like This "production " ( this is WAY MORE the just "game show) I TRULY Love (& miss) Gene,Brett Richard,C.N.R....God has blessed the world by allowing Betty to still be amongst us....I TRULY feel sorry for "youngsters" that watch crap "remakes " of production such as this
H/H match update: ... Today's miss by Charles causes his accuracy score to slip back below Betty's. I'd much rather see Betty move up by being selected and getting one right (and helping the contestant win money), but the fact is, it's not easy to match in the head-to-head match. At any rate, Charles' track record remains well above that of his two co-regulars... Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Fannie - 50% (9 wins in 18 attempts). Betty - 48.4% (15 wins in 31 attempts). Charles - 47.5% (19 wins in 40 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 39.1% (18 wins in 46 attempts). Richard - 38.5% (111 wins in 288 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 532, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")
Up until the 19th century, silver coins would often be cut into eight sections, called 'bits', and two of those 'bits' would constitute 25 percent of the whole. Thus, when (in America) a visit to the barber cost 25 cents, the tagline (often sung) was 'Shave and a haircut - two bits'. ua-cam.com/video/E8rUVwaVEFA/v-deo.html
Roger got helped twice. Elaine said "nuts!" for the Euell Gibbons question, and he won with "hickory nut," and for the Super Match, Gene said "Pieces of blank is the $5000 number." Though, CNR didn't say "eight."
Why was he Gene rushing Charles in answering the super question? He needed time to answer it. Gene kept wasting time talking things that had nothing to do with the game but he kept rushing the celebrities in answering questions.
Gene didn't this episode much but Charles had an answer he was just trying to get others thoughts on it and I guess Gene was just trying to get to make a choice.. Also I am guessing they wanted to go to commercial so they were showing the commercial sign for Gene to see.. I think there maybe so much time between commercials break to run the game.. I know they Bob Barker was good at keeping the games between commercial breaks on time.. ;0)
Tragic episode because we said goodbye to Tomi, one of my favorite contestants. Roger looks quite a bit like some teachers at my school at the time. I was 11 and didn't realize that the mid-70s look was a bit odd; I thought all adults had looked like this forever!
Singer-Young, round 1, question A: "Well, I did *give* it a shot, but what I *said* was a DISCUS." (Bzzt!)

Question A: "I was more brutal; I sent her straight to the MORGUE." (Bzzt!) Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Charles) PUNISHMENT (if asked after Charles) LETTERS Part 2: APRIL Young-Casey, round 1, question A: "They *are* a fairy-tale couple, aren't they? ALLEN LUDDEN!" (Ding!)
"Capital" records is actually spelled with an o but "spelling doesn't count". As much as they make fun of Howard Cosell they coulda used him as the beast
I can’t believe shot-put only got one match… it is the only thing that falls other than a javelin and kinda of a discus; although, a discus has a much flatter trajectory.
Charles worked in The Front Runner ... nice gay reference. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Paul Newman ever produced a movie based on that book, although it was rumored to be in the works.
@@evalu3260 hes just a sad troll, and Elaine may be just trying to be funny or she may be the idiot she seems, either way its very unfair to the contestants
I would have matched Charles’ answer in the Super Match. “Pieces of Dreams” is a well known song by a jazz artist named Stanley Turrentine. He was VERY popular in the 60s and 70s. Charles May have been a jazz head and thus that is what popped into his head. It was the first thing to pop into MY head (because I am a jazz head). But of course, not everyone would have thought along that line. “Pieces of 8” was also a very popular saying.
Connie was such a cutie! She looks just like a girl I had a crush on in high school, but never had the courage to ask out. With those sleepy bedroom eyes! (Sigh!)
TOO GOOD!! (I am so SICK of them making fun of heir on this show)! As many times as they've done it, I can bet you than Brett was just putting on a front, so as not to embarrass herself
Yes, it's been a while since they've had a Brett-roast question, and this was a good one. Unfortunately, I think maybe the contestant hasn't watched the show too often in the past. Even new kid on the block Bill Macy got the joke, but I suspect Brett cued him in and told him it was okay to name her. The only real surprise was that Charles didn't say Brett! I thought it was in his contract to give Brett a hard time whenever possible! ;-) --- Seriously, Brett seemed to generally enjoy those questions and yes, she was a good sport, and her tremendous popularity (at the time, it seems today's audience is less appreciative) contributed to the show's wild success.

Pieces of Dreams was a 1970 film
3 Dog night ( Pieces of April) Big hit in 72. They happened to be on Laugh-in when Richard was on.
Actually the record label is spelled "Capitol"
You are correct that’s what I said out loud
Pieces of eight
Correct. Since the label has the dome of the US Capitol on it.
I think they copy answers at times.
Yes.

i love when brett and betty roast each other! It’s so fun without being too rude
I thought of the one-time, well-known Pieces Of Eight restaurant in Marina Del Rey on Fiji Way.
Wasn't there a Trader Vic's in Marina Del Rey or was that in Beverly Hills?
Pieces of Dreams. What a dumb answer that was.

Elaine is just simple
It's a good thing Elaine Joyce is pretty, 'cause she's not too bright! 😆
She's goofy to be sure but I wonder if she has some drugs or alcohol on board in some of the episodes?
I believe Elaine is VERY bright and smart, just plays dumb on MG for laughs..
@@diverbob33 A little too early but the next episode, maybe.. ;0)
She becomes more serious as time on the show goes. Once she becomes a mom and then of course, losing Bobby especially.
I like to count how many times Brett Sommers blurts out comments during a show. Excluding when she's called on. Last show, 15 times.
15?! Wow. I guss someone has to have the highest count. : )
Not only that she coughs all the time too, seemingly making no atenpt to do it off-mic.

I watched Fuller House one time and DJ said that tow head was what they called someone who was smart
I know it was a joke, a bad one when Gene called Elaine "fat lady." Not nice. Does anyone agree?
Nah she's not fat. I am. Its good to laugh at yourself when it's all in fun. Im thicker skinned than that myself.
He got that from his gf Brett,she always says it to the women
She isn't anywhere fat, which is why it was supposed to be funny.
