Four of the best minutes of Match Game coming right up... Richard's answer after 9:40 probably WOULD have won in England, as he said. A cotton reel is a bobbin. Charles is hilarious after he says it, and Richard keeps playing out the humor. Joanne hands him a card, and he answers "I will not say gin to a..." (BLANK would be chaplain.) Richard doesn't give a totally British answer that often, but he's always so funny when he does. The other one that comes right to mind is "center BLANK" and he came up with center forward, a soccer position. Then when the top answer comes up Cotton Balls, RIchard gets his last dig in -- "aren't you glad I said reel?" Gene is just cracking up. Only Richard could get away with that. Also, Charles' riff starting at 10:50 about the chaplain's "relationship" with Betty was great. It keeps going for over two minutes and the entire panel's on board with it by the end. Fantastic.
When I was little I loved Gene Rayburn. He has a very sweet goofiness about him. This is so much fun to watch!! Still love GR.The sound effects are hilarious. Great memories :)
Another wild episode. But I just loved seening Gene lose it during the Supermatch. I can see who he can keep a straight face during the show so long. And the whole fun around that Supermatch. That was so GREAT! Why oh why can't Game Show Network runs this season.
As a boy I watched this show off and on when I was going to Sleep or getting up . I had these different jobs that were at night . I had these 12 hour shifts .I remember the history of Gene Rayburn doing the original Match game back in the late 1960's
So, I'm a little slow today. when you get a minute, after watching this, could you explain Betty's answer to the nudist guy question to me. I got Richard's Look Magazine, but I'm stumped with Free Press. Thanks.
Back in those days (60's & 70's) publications labeled The Free Press referred to underground/alternative news sources. So, Betty's answer was clever since nudism is an alternative lifestyle..
What's on all those cards Richard was disposing of right before the Super Match...he looked at them carefully before dropping them in the slot...it's as if he's shredding sensitive documents. He likes to keep busy, I guess, lol.
"Fast" was so obviously the answer the writers were going for on the turtle question. I'm no genius at the game and figured that out. I was actually relieved and vindicated when the contestant said it but then the celebs completely blew it, except Richard.. it was a question tailor made for fast Mr. Dawson, womanizer extraordinaire.
Sometimes I would love to know what the writers were looking for just to compare them with the panel and contestant.. Why I like to hear Gene's answers, I think sometimes he knows what the writers were going for or maybe not. He liked to play the game along with the others.. ;0)
Ah, the wonderful Watergate era of Match Game! By the way; Pat Harrington's scripture: Eze 3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
With today's head-to-head match, Betty White moves into second place with 3 matches (out of 8 tries) since the first episode (not counting the missing/lost episodes 31, 32, 33). Bert Convey is still the head-to-head match leader, with 4 matches (out of 8 tries). Keep in mind that Betty and Bert have only appeared a few weeks each. Richard, who has appeared in every episode has 2 matches (out of 12 tries). Also in the two-match club are Charles (only 3 tries!), Jo Ann Pflug (6 tries), Jack Klugman (4 tries), and Stu Gilliam (5 tries).
For those who may be curious about Pat's Bible reference : Ezekiel 3:7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they are not willing to listen to me; because ll the house of Israel are of a forehead and a stubborn heart.
Apparently there weren't any bluegrass/country music fans on the panel or audience, there's a great tune called cotton eyed Joe. 💘 that presidential cuckoo ⏰ question, up to date answer is every hour on the hour he comes out messes his diaper and flubs his lines
