H/H match update: ... Today's action: Our champion easily wins her second game. Today's audience match question: " Head of_________ " (My thoughts: the class, state, the household) The celebs: Brett (State), Richard (Lettuce), and Betty (the House) The choice: The House (Betty's reaction is priceless when the contest chooses her suggestion.) The answers: Lettuce, State, The House ("I don't believe it," says Betty. I was shocked too. I remember playing the board game "Go to the Head of the Class" as a kid and really thought that expression would wind up on the list.) Our champ chose Richard last time and scored a match. I'd say there's a possibility she would go with Betty today, but I wouldn't bet on it... Richard takes pen in hand for his 12th consecutive shot at the head-to-head. He's matched four times so far in that string of 12. Today's H/H question: "Children's _______ " (My first thought is that this is a hard one today. Children's stories is my first thought, but why not books, clothes, toys, games, bedtime, show, etc? ) The camera lingers on Gene for a few seconds. Cut to Richard who's already writing. He files his card without any apparent doubts or hesitation. The contestant doesn't look like she has an answer she's happy with. The way she's smiling leads me to believe she's accepted the fact she won't win today... Indeed. "The only thing I could think of was children's workshop," she says. It sounds like an unlikely (but not impossible) match. There just seem to be so many more common choices... The audience was uncharacteristically subdued. Gene says he couldn't think of a single answer, confirming my judgement that this was an especially hard question. I can't wait to see what Richard came up with so quickly. "Hour." ("The Children's Hour" is a 1934 Lillian Hellman stage play. It was made into a movie in 1961 with Shirley MacLaine and Audrey Hepburn. I've seen the movie, but I still didn't think of this answer.) (Afterwards, Gene says, "There are a lot of good choices here." Which I found amusing given he'd just said he couldn't come up with a single answer.) No match today. Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 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). Charles - 51.0% (27 wins in 53 attempts). Betty - 50.0% (18 wins in 36 attempts). Fannie - 47.8% (11 wins in 23 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 41.4% (191 wins in 461 attempts). Brett - 41.3% (26 wins in 63 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 774, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, and 645. (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!")
I love watching Richard casually smoke a cigarette. On television. I don't even know when they stopped letting that happen. I barely remember being able to smoke in bars.
Ever wonder why the television special 'Twas the Night Before Christmas disappeared? Cuz Santa is SMOKING in it at the end lol Even CNR's pipes or cigars...it blows my mind that they're smoking lol I remember it in restaurants and I was glad when that went away...not on patios pissed off too... it's better in the long run though but yes them smokin is crazy. At least Richard hides it.
@@dorothyjohnson3728 Yep. Every time after Gene finishes reading the question she either squawks "Read that again!" or immediately looks at what CNR or at what whoever is sitting in chair #1 is writing...lol.
K G Thank you, she was very annoying. And too much lunch or dinner breaks w/booze. That’s why she was always “. Aaaahhhhh aaaahhhhh aahhhhh aahhhhhhh. That mouth never shut either way. Nothing was funny & she laughed aaaahhhhhh aaaaahhhhhh aaahhhhhhh!
@@dorothyjohnson3728 I hear ya. I think that's why CNR seemed to take so long with his answers b/c he didn't want Brett to see what he wrote...lol. She had a few rare moments where she seemed personable and said something that was actually funny, but 99% of the time she was as pleasant as fingernails on a chalkboard.
They should update this show for 2021. Everyone sitting six feet apart, wearing double face masks, plastic shield and full hazmat suits. Hosted by a gay man who acts pervy towards all of the attractive men but can't kiss them due to coronavirus restrictions.

I'm clueless. What is this thing about guys not wearing socks? I mean it's LA or Burbank. So why do they need socks? I mean both Gene and Brett rode Charles about that like he's not wearing underwear or something.
Don't know about others, but I know my feet stink if I wear shoes without socks. Sandals or bare feet when there is some air circulation, OK, but shoes without socks is a disaster. Especially those leather shoes Soupy had on. Not to mention the shafing of ankles that would hurt the person himself or herself.
He mentioned on a few episodes that he didn't drink because of internal problems (kidney, liver?) - thought he was being serious and truthful, but I don't know.
@@Uniquely-Unoriginal Yes, on episode 702, Brett said something about him drinking again or something and Gene replies he doesn't drink because he has a rotten liver so he can't drink..
Wayne J Brett always half-loaded. The time she dribbled all over mouth, the times she makes all those immature remarks 2 Gene abt his body, wanting a kiss, telling him he looks so butch, she wishes she could go to the hotel in encino w/Gene. He ain’t that desperate like Brett & Dawson!!
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bEZkCnTKGW4.html
