Richard Burton was far more famous than Richard Dawson. In 1973, if you hadn't watched _Hogan's Heroes_ , you probably wouldn't have known who Richard Dawson was.
I just watched These Sue Yannick episodes because Carolyn was there ❤️ but now I am extremely curious to know what was Sue's fate. I just got used to her face 😂 I hope she is still around... She must be in her 70s now
I tried to find any trace of her current status online and could not. I enjoyed watching her a lot and I'm glad she won that much. She was very gracious when she lost. The question she received in round two was almost impossible to get one match on, let alone three. You could see her face drop for a moment when she heard the question, but then her smile and her brave face returned.
Wish others would do that. We are coming here to relax, and get away from the world for a while while a few others insist on bringing in their political views. Wish this thing had a block feature.
People were trying to forget Tricky Sicky as quickly as they could. Similarly, were it to be now (2023) and the name given were "Donald" instead of "Richard", "Duck" would easily trump all other possibilies.
Nick, from my understanding, episodes #7 and #31-#33 were skipped in 1998 as well and I believe along with the Burns and Cuts episode of Match Game PM, the "Queer" episode of the '73 edition were skipped since 2001 and episode #54 of the PM edition where both players scored 6 times before Round 3 was skipped since its last airing in 2002-03ish(sometime before the Love Connection reruns came into the GSN lineup). Can you think of any other specific Match Game episodes that GSN aired before but started skipping prior to the returns of Rafferty Card Sharks and Blockbusters '87 Nick?
Well, #137 of Match Game '74 was last aired in 2000 or not long after the time compressions(aka speed-ups) were introduced. What about #910 and #935 of Match Game '77? Well according to matchgame.org, GSN did air them, but started skipping those episodes since picking up the reruns of Love Connection and Millionaire I think.
Another semi slow week but yet again Bert beats out Betty, this time to win the week with again 6,500 dollars in head to head and audience match matches. Betty won for the most matches of 16 and gave away 5,500 dollars in head to head and audience match matches. Carolyn gave away 3,250 dollars in head to head and audience match matches and Richard had 9 matches to win for the regulars.
As much as i like this show, it seems like a lot of the celebrities are more interested in making a joke with their answer, than giving a good one. ''Do you like me better with or without...my wooden leg???'' What a dick he was for that answer.
It seems like it took a while to come up with panelists who tried to make the match instead of making a gag. Never thought Morey or Jack (Carter) were appropriate for this show. They weren't hip enough to keep up with responses from a young studio audience.
At the quarter mark of MG73 the top 5 money givers are 1. Bert Convy 18,500 dollars, 2. Jo Ann Pflug 8,500 dollars, 3. Betty White 6,000 dollars, 4. Michael Landon and Richard Thomas 5,750 dollars, and 5. Carolyn Jones 3,250 dollars. Total so far for this season is 53,600. Richard Dawson is number 6 with 2,000 dollars and Brett Somers is number 8 (tied) with 250 dollars.
Her husband only agreed to appear on the first bunch of episodes if they agree to cast Brett, at least that's how it started. It didn't hurt either that CBS was trying very hard to get people watching the Perry Mason series that they kept plugging in these episodes. It did not work, because their new version of Perdy Mason flopped. Brett only ever appeared in fewer than ten episodes and the series was quickly cancelled. I don't know the details, I only know someone else commented it on RU-vid. Her bantering with Charles, Richard, Betty, and Fannie was also a part of the charm. There wasn't as much zany chaos when Hot Lips and other ladies took Brett's spot on the panel. The chemistry was fun and electric, like a touch of Friar's Club Roast.
There is free spirit flying. ;0) ROFL! Another fine after dinner episode! :0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Betty! ;0) Hmm how far are we do the full plaid suit and then just the pants with a black jacket. Sigh ;0) Gene rhyme there.. ;0)
How was it rigged? A question might be dumb or lacking a definitive answer, but the writers and producers had no way of knowing which contestant would get which question, because the challenger picks A or B not knowing which one would ultimately be "easier" or "harder". I actually thought both questions in Sue's final round were rather weak, but Bob got luckier. I don't think Sue was terribly upset - she had $13,000 and a great trip to Europe to look forward to!
Those were the two most vague questions I ever saw on that show. No reasonable answer for either one. There was no set up, like Howard was so old, when he looked in the mirror, or Marilyn was bowling when she lost half of her blank. I can't recall any other times when they asked questions with no set up. They probably told the challenger to pick B and let the chips fall.
It's amazing how sexist people were back then. There is so much good about these warm folks and those times though. It's too bad some people are angry that sexism is out of style...I wonder if they are also angry that wearing a loud plaid sports jacket is now a no no, Lol.
I wonder if the way they joked could truly be called sexist (ism)… I appreciate that there is more awareness today, but I don’t sense any belittlement, or malicious intent in their comments…
Being overly P.C. have hurt the stand-up comic industry.....comics can't tell their jokes 'cuz some lame ass gets offended. It's really a sad state of affairs.
