Buck makes a bad mistake on this episode of Match Game. Watch and find out! Buck Owens, Brett Somers, Gary Burghoff, Gloria DeHaven, Richard Dawson, and Patti Deutsch
In case anyone is wondering, Gloria DeHaven was an MGM starlet in the 1940s and early 50s who was known for her appearances in many of the studio's musicals. One of her well-known roles was as Judy Garland's flighty sister in "Summer Stock".
Brett thought Christopher Lee was in the Martial Arts movies. She mistook him for Bruce Lee. It's ironic that nobody knew who Christopher Lee was considering he played Dracula and they do a lot of Dracula questions.
Buck Owens was a Country Music legend, and a veteran of TV, with all of his years on Hee Haw. But did he just come out on this show? Gene asked him if he believed in fairies, and he said, incredulously, "Do I believe in 'em?"
That is true. I think Buck Owens Felt out of place doing the Match Game but the Country Music stars that were in the CBS version of Match Game, Buck Owens, Minnie Pearl, Mel Tillis, and Bill Anderson are all in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Gene must have been a Katherine Hepburn fan, quoting a line from STAGE DOOR. How many people there actually knew what movie that was from? (Calla lilies are in bloom again.)
Country humor is somewhat different than Hollywood humor, so Buck is charmingly out of his element there, but cute. I never missed an episode of Hee Haw. The jokes on it were clean, and much of the humor on this game could be deemed as 'dirty' insinuations, although funny. Buck's humor is more of the 'down home' kind. Heck, some of the contestants have answers that are way off from what the stars choose. There is no wrong or right answer, they just have to match the player's answer. And that contestant kinda looked like Rona Barrett. Buck had a country boy personna that was sweet and charming. I always thought he was cute, even while I was in my teens.
@@dmnemaine since you mention leering men, I just watched MGPM episode 139. Patty Duke snaps at Gene at 11:43. Not for leering at her, but for rushing her. I've never seen anyone talk to him that way before. She looked really pissed.
And the countdown of Charles to return has begun. Counting the rest of this week there are just 13 shows left with Gary filling in. These theee shows this week and the next two weeks. But there is a bit of irony in this. Because even though Charles will be bask, we will not have seen the last of Gary. He will be in the first seat the first week Charles is bsck. Oh the humanity.
"What exactly is a nug?" I think that Gary may have been referring to an episode of M*A*S*H in which the word "gun" was likewise misread. Colonel Blake requested an "0-4-W-W nug", reading from a paper that Frank Burns was holding upside down (so actually a 40mm gun). This was to be used to shoot down Five O'Clock Charlie. Hawkeye's response is "We definitely do _not_ need a nug!"
I like her, but I can't BELIEVE they made her brainless! She was so GOOD in her first few weeks on the show; matched SEVERAL times (I guess they didn't like that). It was a realistic game show for people to win money, but nobody cared about that. All they cared about was getting laughs :(
I watched one the other day where he was called on in the big money round to fill in Philadelphia ..............he laughed & said he had no answer, totally disinterested. I was so annoyed.
The awful crime of this episode is that contestant Sandy covers up too much. She is so beautiful, radiant face, full breasts ... I guess covering her girls kept Gene from embarrassing her and maybe she was self conscious anyway. We do miss Charles here but Gary does his best. Brett shouldn't have made fun of Buck's accent, which he becomes annoyed about later in this week. I think people knew him from Hee Haw at the time, not as a great singer/musician/songwriter.
And _On Days Like These_ from the film _The Italian Job_ ... ♪♫ Questi giorni quando vieni il bello sole ♪♫ ♪♫ La laaa la laaa la laaa la laaa laaa laaa! ♪♫ Actually, the singer's name was Matt Monro (birth name: Terence Edward Parsons).
Bruce Lee, Brett. Christopher Lee was an English actor who was most known at that time for playing Dracula. In his later career he would be best known for playing Saruman in The Lord Of The Rings. Also, Bruce Lee was Chinese, not Japanese.

Who did Gene think he was, passing judgment on "how pretty" that contestant's wife in the audience was? "Lots of people say their husband or wife is great but she's really pretty." UGH
