@@vitachick5328 do you have to comment this under every single comment? Leave Brett alone there are SO many fans who love Brett back then, today and even new fans today and Brett loved her fans right back. You don't have to repeat yourself and don't say you haven't I can see your many comments.
I love that they had cocktails and cigarettes going. I think Brett tried too hard to be clever/funny and abandoned common sense answers. She always had to throw her 2 cents in.
One thing I never understood was why the match game producers never had Cleavon Little as a panelist? He and Brett would have been a riot on match game.
I watch Match Game reruns all the time and I swear there was no more obnoxious player than Gary Burghoff. He was always trying so hard to show that he wasn’t Radar.
Brett Somers ❤ Richard Dawson ❤ Charles Nelson Riley ❤ Love those panelists that they all shine brightly as i can imagine about fashionable people of the 1970s and 1980s Game Shows.
Brett was an irritant. -- She butted into everyone's camera time. -- She stepped on other guest's punch-lines. -- She interrupted everyone, frequently, including Gene Rayburn. -- To hog camera time, she often lifted her answers, and kept the blank side towards that camera. Then she would yak and yak, sometimes needing Rayburn to tell her to turn her card around. -- When Gene would read a card, Brett routinely would blurt out "Oh, I know...!" As if no one else caught on and knew a good answer. But Brett had to tell everyone. She had no filter. -- She bothered the other guests, by looking over their shoulders, even pulling out their cards to take a peek. No one else did that. She did it often. -- She constantly insulted Betty White. Betty, being a professional, bit her tongue for many episodes, figuring that Brett would lose interest, or perhaps Gene would pull her aside and tell her to cut it out. But eventually it got to the point where Betty had to defend herself, and then the two constantly exchanged barbs. But it was always Brett that initiated the insults. Brett made the show about herself. She had to be the center of attention. I do not understand how Brett got on the show, and then remained on the show. It was likely a favor to Jack Klugman. Then, perhaps, it was good for ratings to watch a train wreck. Brett got into everyone's business, like the apartment building's yenta that you could hear coming from around the block. Brett's interruptions eventually reached a boiling point with Gene. On one episode, when she interrupted Gene one-to-many times, he gave her a look, and she immediately said "Oh, I'm not supposed to interrupt." Several times after that, she started to interrupt (she could not help herself), and then she cut herself off in the middle of a syllable, realizing that she was interrupting. Apparently, Gene and the producer had a talk with her about her incessant interrupting. Brett was wealthy. That, together with support from her divorced husband (Klugman), somehow kept her on the show.
I love Brett’s laughing it makes my heart sing I love her when she’s crying when gene tells her to shut up and she’s coughing too and she loves gene too she goes to the motel with gene
