Match Game 75 (Episode 578) (Technical Problems Episode) 

Scoey looked good in anything! he was so handsome! 😁 And so was his wife Claire they made a pretty couple. R.I.P Scoey 😞

good episode

Excellent episode indeed

YES HE WAS

Well he had the sensibility to realize that the show, even in the 70's as we have to think about the general mentality of those days, was not a methodical brick-by-brick and strictly organized appearance as many other shows were and still are. He seen the humour and the farces of the whole thing and his natural, cool, calm and suave activity enabled him to get everyone to carry on as regular people and it makes great television. You can embarrass yourself here and not feel bad

+Gina Weaver nawwww! lol

neither did Charles, Scoey appeared twice.

+Mike Peterson Actually, they did show Charles when Johnny said Richard Dawson.

Weird.

Gene whacked the buttons so hard, no wonder.

BOBBI RAVEN Same.

Wren Wright Patti was. And an adorable child star.

always thought she was gorgeous

that's for sure......she was also a close friend of Sharon Tate.

I met Patty twice and she was such a doll both times

John W Landry The easiest one I’ve ever seen was with Fannie Flagg and it was BLANK Newman.

The most obvious one I saw was Tinker BLANK. I mean, what other tinker could it be than Tinkerbell?

@@accam6734 Alfred E or Paul or Phyllis?

Phil Adams The IRS did back then too. Most people never even kept their prizes from "The Price Is Right" because they couldn't afford to pay the taxes on them. Just like today.

He was. He could be animated and imitated characters very well. He was a perfect fir for the show. He certainly was not wooden.

That's why Gene said they can't count her wrong answers.

Lol

PlanetRockJesus Not me, I didn't think of that. "Point of no return" was the first thing that popped into my mind, lol. Cheers!

hmm....the UK version of this show is Blankety Blank,.....googlin' it or checkin' it here on RU-vid, greetings from a utahn living currently in Mexico. :)

+glassineheart Donkey. But I think that was before his time.

+nathantj594 It was. The original Donkey Kong came out in 1981.

Gangus....spelling?

Genghis. And that was "Khan", not Kong.

As I said above, Viet Cong.

sometimes it's alright - other times it just annoys me - jmho

+Peter Harris And Charles hits that pipe in many episodes...and no I didn't mean it to sound like THAT, LOL

:D Busted SovietDictator

Makes them part of the "cool crowd". I've always thought it was more infantile, adult pacifiers. ', (

Slade Simon Watch the documentary show "Behind the Blank" and you'll find out about the other ones, lots of them. Someone actually had a job that was to tell the contestants what they couldn't say, lol.

It's rare.

He often didn't comb it.

Yes. I guess she was John's girlfriend.

Agree on the cigarettes, disagree on times being better. Political correctness has ruined this country. People said what they felt back then, and if it offended others...they got the fuck over it. People are weak as hell these days. Always whining about something offending them. Life is hard. Deal with it. They did back then, and managed to have plenty of good times. We are also a lot dumber these days as well...thanks "smart devices". This show was way before my time, but I like old school everything, movies, music, guitars, music gear, cars etc. Because they just don't make them like that anymore, I will take the 60's-70's over the 2000's any day everyday and 6 times on Sunday.

sydIRISH Amen to that !

If that is all you got out of these times, you missed alot!

sydIRISH There were jokes about every nationality. We took it in stride. Well said. I miss those days.

Crude, rude, & hateful is NOT doing anyone any good, it hurts & demeans people. Poisonous!

I feel like they put Patti up to it, being last she killed all hope of a tie or win for lots of people. Also kept up her dingbat persona.

Joe Postove I actually noticed Fannie Flagg getting caught with smoke in her mouth (didn’t see her take a drag). I think it was from Richard’s cigarette as he smokes on stage infrequently.

They tend to overdo on this show sometimes

That's what I thought of too!! RIP Ronnie Barker star of British prison comedy "Porridge"

Fortunately nothing to do with Trump -- and not spelled like that, either... : )

She sucked

Samidella idella - John Schlicker won $8,800 in 1975, that's about $40,000 in today's money. Not too shabby.

Some shows kind of thrive on mistakes and this was one of them. Some of them were probably on purpose. Or, at least, they knew a smooth running operation was counter to the mission.

Agreed. It seemed as Richard really cared about the contestants. Surely a good reason why he was asked to be a host (of Family Feud) Charming man.

The "cutesy banter" was what made the show popular to this day. I honestly don't know what everyone sees in Richard. Most of the time he acted like he was above everyone else and by the time he left to do Family Feud, he was a just a flat-out jerk. The only people he cared about were the ingenues sitting to his right.

AlmostWorthless Richard was the best because he did care for contestants, both here and on FF. People always picked him because he had good ESP with the contestants. He was flirty but he always wanted fairness. Sure he had arguments with producers but many times it was because he didnt want contestants getting screwed which did happen on many occasions on both shows (look up Match Game School Riot). As far as him being a jerk, watch his farewell speech on Family Feud.

crissrudd4554 I agree with you. Brett and Charles always wanted the contestants to win too.

Dannys99887 Back then I did not have the patience for this show. Now I enjoy it. The nostalgia makes it so great.

Don't ask

Teri Warzeka hey you got to use the "f" word! Just like a real jr high kid! Bring it on

That's because we had common sense and PC had not been thought of. Oh to go back to that simple time.

AD77 did you pick up at all how uncomfortable one person in particular seemed to feel that entire episode? and with pretty good reason? this was simply hard to watch.

No. Wow. This is mean crap that we should be evolving out of.

@@Rhythmic22 It's fraught, though, to watch stuff through a modern lens and make those conclusions. Whether Scoey was really ticked off or if it was his comedic approach. Or both! I just know that if I was making a TV show today, I'd be making it for 2019 and not 2060.
