Larry Hovis is a sweetheart but his hair being longer in the back didn't suit him very well imo. This show never fails to make me smile. Thanks for all your hard work!
a drink is a glass or a cup with liquid onit a glass by itself is just and empty glass. but for some whatever reason someone pushed the green button. questionable
I never get why Gene explains that they let you pick the questions because some are harder than others. We can't see the questions, so it's totally random anyway!
Yeah, it's utterly meaningless and clumsy to explain besides. No wonder they dropped it. He might as well have said "To ensure this is fair, we ask that the challenger choose the question."
Milkman4279: A player or the audience might get the idea that a particular contestant was being favored -- a good-looking gal, for instance. The explanation was a bit awkward, though.
By having contestants choose, the show was covering itself from the charge that it gave easier questions to preferred contestants. Gene's explanation was intended to soften the fact that the questions varied a lot in difficulty. It was a disclaimer of sorts. That's what I think.

"Wilma the weirdo insisted on having her (BABY) in the elevator." Was a woman giving birth in a broken elevator not a common TV/movie trope at this time?
Sherman Oaks breeding farm? LOL I don't know what he was implying with that remark. Sherman Oaks is a upper middle class, predominantly Jewish neighborhood in the Valley, and like Studio City, NoHo and Burbank is mostly made up of media industry people.

You'd think, just possibly, a pre-requisite of the individual in charge of actually printing the answer placards for this would be able to spell korektlee....no? (Please pardon the edit, I used to work for them.)
Christopher Bingham --- as much as I cant stand Brett, alot of panelists didnt give an answer in time in Match Game '73. As the show went on the time got longer and they allowed for other panelists to write down answers and give to the celebrity who was called on if they were drawing a blank
@Christopher Bingham that is so untrue . They pick her a lot and many times she has the $500 answer. If picked 3rd sometimes there's not much to think of. And others were buzzed short of time. 😋
10:16 my favorite part especially when Gene asks what a "Wodden" raft is and the sound effects person gives a honk sound as a response 😂😂😂😂

Wodden Raft...YOU HAD ONE JOB!!!!
Power Huose, now Wodden Raft! LOL
And a few years later, we were treated to 'soup' being spelled 'suop'.
Wasn't there one with huose as well??? ;0)
Little screw ups like that made the show special IMHO.
Gene was great with these technical malfunctions. His experience in live television showed.
I’m laughing too hard at “I’m suppressing a sneeze” 😂😂 I didn’t know what was wrong with him! I’m so glad they left all this stuff in 😂
Saddle and Ride should be a match ...like Grease and Wax
Richard looks great in his dark turtleneck and jacket.
And wig!
@@pencils812 Ha ha. luv it!
Jill Ann has a Julia Roberts smile.
I like Peggy Cass on this show. She's a good player and seems quite personable. Too bad this was her only week.
Peggy was on the first MG pilot in 1962 .
Funny show. Wow crazy!
Greased = Waxed?!?! 🤦 Of COURSE he got all 6! These judges are so ridiculously stupid sometimes. Reminds me of Whale = Fish.
Panelists:
1. Larry Hovis
2. Brett Somers
3. Rip Taylor
4. Jo Ann Phlug
5. Richard Dawson
6. Peggy Cass
The judges can't REALLY be that dense can they?!
For once I agree with you
Over and over again
"Everyone plays except... Brett." "Oh, I'll put away my pen, then." Richard: "And your mouth!" Comedy Gold!
He said, "Why don't you put it in your mouth?"
this woman was so F ridiculous my God
she won't shot up
@@lcfflc3887 10000000%
If it was only that simple! Thank you Richard!
17:31 I want to know where to get that set up Rip has on his wrist, heh.
Old school
Paul Fisher would dominate the game until his defeat in episode 153, appearing in a total of 7 episodes. Not a bad run.
Uh, spoiler alert? Some of us are watching these in order, you know 😠
"How come she's married to you?" When I tell you I burst out laughing 😂😂😂
It's pretty ridiculous -- and changed the outcome -- that they matched "drink" with "glass" but not with "cup."
Well it would have been a tie so they would have to go to a tie breaker then..
ridiculous LOL indeed 👈
a drink is a glass or a cup with liquid onit a glass by itself is just and empty glass. but for some whatever reason someone pushed the green button. questionable
11:10 Larry, "Riff!" to which Rip Taylor busts a gut laughing...
Rip Taylor seemed eternally happy

Great question. Been wondering that as well.
@Christopher Bingham Yep, they have to apeal to the lowest common denominator of society to be commercially viable.

"Wilma the weirdo insisted on having her (BABY) in the elevator."
Was a woman giving birth in a broken elevator not a common TV/movie trope at this time?
Nope just an oddball question.
I said baby too 😂
Wooden raft...oh that's right. It's 1974. Must have been some UCLA basketball fans in the audience that day...
Kangaroos were evasive even back then. They became agressive . So why ?? 🤔🤔
Richard always has interesting reasons for his answers.
I would have said, "Paper view" (pay per view).
Show yourself out
What the heck is a wooden raft? That must be wrong right? Elizabeth 😇
wodden
It was misspelled on the board as wodden instead of wooden.
Sherman Oaks breeding farm? LOL I don't know what he was implying with that remark. Sherman Oaks is a upper middle class, predominantly Jewish neighborhood in the Valley, and like Studio City, NoHo and Burbank is mostly made up of media industry people.
My guess is it wouldn't be impossible to find enough room there for any type of farm.
well Paul's a big ole boy ain't he
I'd wager 6'2" to 6'4"
@@kevansf Easily. I'm pretty sure Gene is 6'1. Paul could even be taller than 6'4. But damn he's good looking.

I wonder how many people fit on a wodden raft. hahaa.
Ok, I think I am addicted to the theme song now.. ;0) Need to find a copy of it and buy it.. ;0)

Greased and waxed are a match?
I know. I seriously can't believe the judges are that dense?!
@@kristabrewer6736they proved they are thar dense over and 9ver again.
They all knew to say ride but the wimps said saddle? That's bs
I thought of mount
I like Paul Fisher's voice. I hope he turns out to be talkative.
Why would Peggy Cass be upset over grease and wax matching when it helps a contestant? Smh
They shouldve gotten an extra something for getting 6 matches in one round
yeah, especially since only FIVE of them matched
Did they always impose a time restriction on the celebrities when giving answers in the bonus games?
Christopher Bingham --- as much as I cant stand Brett, alot of panelists didnt give an answer in time in Match Game '73. As the show went on the time got longer and they allowed for other panelists to write down answers and give to the celebrity who was called on if they were drawing a blank
Brett did much better in the Audience Match than any other part of the show.
@Christopher Bingham that is so untrue . They pick her a lot and many times she has the $500 answer. If picked 3rd sometimes there's not much to think of. And others were buzzed short of time. 😋
@@bethdibartolomeo2042 I will agree with you on that one
Is that a typo? A Wodden raft?(?)
Why was Brett in Genes conversation with Joann?
Grease and waxed are not a match!
10:33
Richard wearing all black.
Joann plans to Breed and Race kangaroos?? Awful. Brett eventually says she's going to tell Betty White, who was a strong animal advocate.
Big nose dawson & drunken brett NEVER shuts their mouths.
