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
"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?
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.
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. 😋
Free spirit flying althou I think he only changed his jacket, shirt and tie that time.. ;0) ROFL! Another fine episode! :0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! :0) ROFL! Love ya Larry! ;0) Did Jo Ann and Chuck actually start one? ;0) Shouldn't do that Gene, not healthy for you, at least that is what I have been told.. ;0) Brett and Jo Ann beat Richard! ;0) It would have been a tie if he had matched cup with drink.. ROFL! Sound effects and who ever misspelled wooden.. ;0)
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.)
Feagar-Rathman, round 1, question A: "A peg leg would make a rotten sail; I said his GREATCOAT." (Bzzt!) Round 2, question B: (if "punch bowl" wasn't counted as a match last time) "Well, on one side I put 'pitch' so I could get into Brett's avant-garde anthology; on the other, I said GLASS." (Bzzt!) First Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Jo Ann) LIFE (if asked between Jo Ann and Richard) GEORGE (if asked after Richard) BAMBOO Part 2: MOON Feagar-Fisher, round 1, question B: "This counts, you say? Okay, GREASED." (Ding!) Question A: "I said LASSO, and you can keep your dirty comments to yourself." (Bzzt!) Round 2, question B: (just holding up the card, probably) TEDDY BEAR Second Super Match, part 1: (if asked before Brett) MARINE (if asked after Brett) WAY
