It was taped on 11/5/1978, and this panel's CBS episodes aired on Dec 20-22, 26 ,27, 1978, so it would have aired probably in early 1979. The exact date depended on the market.
It's strange being married to a driving instructor. Every night in bed he tells me to PULL OVER. (Bzzt! Pretty opened ended question. Nobody matched anybody else.) My wife, the pretzel maker, must have had a bad dream. Last night she tied my ARMS in a knot. (1 match) It was a mistake to teach the lion to eat at the sound of a bell. Today, he ate the BELLY DANCER. (Bzzt! What does the Avon Lady have to do with a circus or lion tamer? Granted, Belly dancers aren't really part of the circus, either.) When I was a baby, I was left on a doorstep. For years, I thought I was a DOOR MAT. (2 matches, plus contestant) Don't order the aged beef. It's so old it's collecting SOCIAL SECURITY. (3 matches out of 3, plus contestant) Never stop fast in the marching band when there's a TROMBONE player behind you. (6 matches. My first thought was TUBA. I'm glad I changed it. Too bad for the contestant, though.) Take me to YOUR LEADER. ($250 match. I had thought of THE BALL GAME, but there was no OUT in the middle, so I went with Fannie's suggestion.) Much too SOON ($250 match. I almost went with MUCH. Oh, well. At least I matched something.) What Jack always was with Brett. Hen PECKED. (DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING!)
