All these shows are a complete treasure trove of nostalgia and hi definition, hi fidelity audio quality transporting you back in time to when all these wonderful people were young and many were still with us. This is the nearest we have to time travel, Nostalgia and all!
He's also a good player, and I think he really makes an effort to match the contestants rather than simply being funny or cute all the time. (Although he's often funny, too!) He and Brett were my favorites when I watched this a kid in the 70s.
Charles and Brett were the two favorites of everybody of the regulars. Certainly better than saint Richard (Although, I'll admit, in the first several weeks of the show, he was kinda funny).
Her purple jumpsuit either this episode or pat od due to own that I want it so bad it’s beautiful. She’s gorgeous and sweet anyone know where she is now?
He was a joke machine. On the Dick Van Dyke show his character played a comedy writer so it was joke after joke. He tries to do the same thing here but that's not the point of the game. He seldom matches the contestants and he seems to write an answer based on a joke he wants to tell. Nice enough granddad but not necessarily a good MG player.
I had never heard of it before watching this episode, but CNR's revival of IT PAYS TO BE IGNORANT lasted a solid year in syndication. As of this date (7/17/20) I couldn't find any episodes of the 1973 version on UA-cam.
And from a technical standpoint, Holly suffered the worst fate possible, where there would be no hope of even surviving the question no matter what answer you give. (She needed two matches, and even though Ruta Lee would have matched her, none of the rest even matched each other.)
It almost looks like Morey Amsterdam`s shirt says Dunkin Donuts and has the little circles as part of the logo because they`re the same colors as the Dunkin logo
as I`m listening to some of these episodes I keep on hearing these little static spikes which last a fraction of a second here and there. they`re just random.....and I don`t mean the game buzzer sound. Even when I used to watch this show on tv it used to happen.
"Down in the ________ " - Morey offers the contestant: "Drain"!! (And he was the FIRST one she called on, not the third who sometimes is caught off-guard because the obvious answers have been taken!)

don't bring "joey" into the pouch. nobody knows that's what you call a young kangaroo? brett thought her answer of "girlfriend" was bad but it was actually the closest to being logical. "boris is so manly..." (crickets) still not there yet.
I don't know what it was exactly, but there was just a sweetness and kindness about Charles Nelson Reilly.
This is the first episode in which Brett, Charles and Richard are seated in the sequence that would become the show's trademark.
Post proof before that troll calls BS
I was just about to say the same thing

Charles is so adorable, and a doll. 🥰 Looks like he dressed up for the occasion. He adores Linda. ❤️

I love how Charles turned a scarf into a tie. Great color combo.
Love it on the answer that Brett gave, you can hear Loretta saying, "Say goodnight, Brett."
I simply love this program
This show is my 2020 anti depressant.
Your are so right. We play every day on Facebook. It's fun and funny and it gets your mind off all the depressing news.
Same for 2024
Gene looks like he doesn't know what to do with his hands without the long microphone. Maury's tie is hilarious!
Linda is really gorgeous lady! Loving the '70s 'natural' look! Lovely girl!
but, Swedish? ... please just be proud of who really are ...
Couldn’t agree more. Smoked hot!
Her purple jumpsuit either this episode or pat od due to own that I want it so bad it’s beautiful. She’s gorgeous and sweet anyone know where she is now?
I love it when Charles says “That’s my partner”
Charles love for Linda is so refreshing because it comes without the usual lecherous overtones on this show, but from a soft spot in his heart.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Exactly! I wish I had gotten to meet him. He seemed like a lovely person!
Was, the man is dead. So was is correct. 9-2-2021
Yes, I love him, and wish I could've met him also. 🥰
And Charles is all dressed up for her!
Morey seems like he was such a fun grandpa!
Morey was ANNOYING! (although I'll admit, he was 10 times better than Fred Travelena)

Most of Morey's responses are designed to sell a joke, rather than make some money for the contestant. Not good on this show.
wow ! brilliant show! that Charles $5K card was brilliantly played out, luv it.
18:09 Charles loved that question!

Never heard of it and don't give a snot
Joe Ambrose glad to know you felt the need to say that even though nobody asked 🙄
ah, 70s girls. and great 70s tv family entertainment.
You can't help but feel sorry for the contestants when the celebrities come up with absurd, really silly answers.
Yes, they try to be creative, but need to think of the simplest or most common answer.
Even RD doesn't seem to be matching much right, either going political or funny
I think that was make Gene upset when the panel tried to out due each other instead of trying to match the contestants..
And from a technical standpoint, Holly suffered the worst fate possible, where there would be no hope of even surviving the question no matter what answer you give. (She needed two matches, and even though Ruta Lee would have matched her, none of the rest even matched each other.)
What about all the times the contestants say some terrible answer that has no chance, like "candy" in the kangaroo's pouch? Haha.
Gene isn't holding his telescope microphone.
Ruta Lee - what a beautiful lady

Linda Olsen was smoking hot! I’ve gone through all these episodes , she gets my vote as the most beautiful contestant. And such poise she showed.
Simp!

Morey would have been a great regular. Very funny.
Oh god, NO!
I didn't catch where Linda is from. Her features are just like a couple of my friends from Thailand. Very beautiful. ❤
Linda looks like she should be on Hallmark cards🌼
But first, she needs to see an orthodontist.

Don't give a squat

@@storylass9071 Why so snippy, Story ?
It's just of the taping process. Think of how many times this show has been copied from one format to another.
Awwww, Linda is so cute! Is she really Swedish of is Charles just making a joke?
Linda would have made a great vampire, be it a beautiful one!
Don't get me wrong, I like Morey Amsterdam, but he seems too intent on making jokes than actually winning anyone any money.
He was a BIG - time stinker
"Down in the ________ " - Morey offers the contestant: "Drain"!! (And he was the FIRST one she called on, not the third who sometimes is caught off-guard because the obvious answers have been taken!)
I wanted to say that but I was afraid of getting people angry.
you gotta rule out a few first - lol Charles
i wrote to Loretta Swit and ask for a pitcher of herself and she send me one
Are you from Korea?
Which pitcher, Koufax or Seaver ?
Grammar Nazis are out
what did she taste like?
I like that show because of Loretta switt
How does booze not match beer?
i think booze...is more like whiskey...vodka..etc
The "rule" they usually is that you can't match a general with a specific. Beer being specific ...booze being general.

Good looks and sex appeal are the same thing in my book
There are lots of good looking people with no sex appeal, and vice-versa.
don't bring "joey" into the pouch. nobody knows that's what you call a young kangaroo? brett thought her answer of "girlfriend" was bad but it was actually the closest to being logical. "boris is so manly..." (crickets) still not there yet.
Makes no sense, she was talking to her own joey.
Moreys tie is to big
Charles would have never gotten the hug if he was straight.
