Match Game 75 (Episode 506) ("Jo Ann Pflug Having A Baby?") 

Just happened to watch this on 9/7/18, the day after the world learned that Burt Reynolds - the #1 answer on this episode's Audience Match - had passed away. Truly the end of an era. Memory eternal.

I love Bert Convey. He has the cutest dimples.

Jo Anne's baby would be a girl named Melissa, the only child that she and Chuck Woolery had...

H/H match update: Note: We haven't a successful H/H match since #499! This week sees the return of Bert Convy, Jo Ann Pflug, and Joyce Bulifant! This is the first time ever that all six panelists have a history of 3 or more successful H/H matches under their belt! Joyce has the least H/H match experience of this week's celebrities, but even she has been chosen 4 times and matched 3 of those -- not bad! I'd say this is a lucky week to be a winning Match Game contestant with such a wide variety of "dingbats" (Gene's word) to choose from, all with good to great track records of winning H/H matches! Or will everyone just keep choosing Richard all week? Speaking of Richard, he seems temporarily stuck at 99 H/H matches, because today was his *fifth* miss in a row, dropping him just below Brett in overall accuracy. This is now the fourth time in MG history that Brett's accuracy rating has surpassed his... Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Fannie - 50% (9 wins in 18 attempts). Betty - 48.4% (15 wins in 31 attempts). Charles - 45.9% (17 wins in 37 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 36.6% (15 wins in 41 attempts). Richard - 36.5% (99 wins in 271 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 506, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")

What about Bert and Ernie (Sesame Street)?

The late Messrs. Convy and Reynolds formed a game-show production company called Burt and Bert Productions. Nice to see Joyce again.

And making its debut here is the second version of the neon money sign (notice that the digits are skinnier, and the "1" that goes down the middle in the second digit (for $1000)) and this would be in place until Episode 1245.

Jo Ann Pflug is cute-nuff said!

The theme music brings me back to such a simpler time!

Jo Anne is gorgeous

That was kind of rude of Bert to call the contestant's wife in the audience "not in a skinny condition." Maybe she was pregnant, but still...

They spelled BERT. Reynolds and Bacharach spell their first name Burt. Lol

Love these guys

Jo Ann your so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹

Whoa!! Lucky Chuck Woolery!!

That’s 5 misses in a row for Richard! Pancho Villa - Pancho Gonzales Orange peel - banana peel Cloud burst - cloud nine Saint Nick - Beat nik Charles Atlas - World atlas

Jo Ann Pflug had a minor part in the 1966 science fiction film "Cyborg 2087."

How about Brianne Leary, Cute as a button as a contestant, and then next year as a panelist after she got a role on "Chips "

I recently found out I could watch Match game on buzzer. But like Game Show Network they seem to skip around between seasons. Last week on the 5 PM CDT they showed the episodes with Jack Cassidy. We forgot to watch yesterday. We are watching and we watched the last two games of 76 and now they are showing the first week of 77. It looks like you could watch every episode of the run on line. So why do they skip around.

Gene’s walking kept him out of the Army but the AF took him.

JoAnn always made Brett's insecurities show up even when pregnant

Jerry had the aura of a used car salesman.

Panelists: 1. Bert Convy 2. Brett Somers 3. Charles Nelson Reilly 4. Jo Ann Phlug 5. Richard Dawson 6. Joyce Bulifant

13:01 Oh, gee whizzikers! And Bert? Or Burt! So confused...

Brett trying to cut Gene off when talking to Bert about his show

I can't believe that guy didn't choose Bert Reynolds. Geez Louise. Trying to impress the stars, I suppose.

Joyce finds the studio chilly!

Joyce must have been cold lol

2023 answer: Cloud computing.

First Super Match, part 2: BURST Layman-Ballas, round 1, question B: "Yes, great excitement can sometimes cause a reattached NOSE to fall off again…" (Bzzt!) Question A: "Good to know there's one other romantic in the house, at least. KISSES!" (Ding!) Round 2, question B: "Oh, I see. So we don't like TOUGH women on this show, is that it?" (Bzzt!) Question A: (lay out) Second Super Match: AND ERNIE

13:38 Bert insulted the contestant’s wife: “she’s not in a skinny condition” 🤦🏼‍♀️

I love Brett's blouse! Just thought I'd mention. :-)

Brett; "you tell em fat kady." Wat the heck is that supposed to mean?

Gene Rayburn !!!!!

It looks like Joyce Bulifant really has a thing for Richard Dawson. I mean, look at 11:18-11:19, and you'll see what I mean.

Joanne Pflug has a distinctive face, not only beautiful but unique as well, of all the beautiful women I've seen in my life not one of them resembles her

Love the game but hate when people don't match.

Backerack?? Wt???

Am I the only one who thinks Brett was annoying on these shows? I think the actual stars on the show were annoyed too.

Brett, the playboy club, really? I thought you were better than that. Hollywood is a little extreme and so are you all. However, you all are a lot of fun. Sometime a little full of yourselves. But, you Brett, are one of my favorites. Love you, guys and girls.
