Match Game 73 (Episode 108) (Wrong Way Turntable??)

[@tomitstube]

i don't remember watching this show back in the day, and who would have thought you could watch it 46 years later on a personal computer? without commercials, and at your leisure? the spinning set, lights not working, the question panel not working, the guy sliding the answers, the interaction with the audience... the chaos and faux pas' were all part of the charm. brilliant show.

[@bradstephan7886]

I watched it then and now, loved it both times. Much better now w/o commercials!

[@sdlively27]

Cameras in shots.. ;0)

[@40bpaula]

@@bradstephan7886 Also, much better when I can chain watch it till I've had enough...and do it again the next day.

[@tomitstube]

@todd long there is no "youtube", ever since google bought it they're trying to turn it into facebook, it's time to break up these tech giants and regulate the internet like a public commodity, our "capitalist" government has a nasty habit of using our tax dollars to research, invent, develop, and provide ground breaking products, then hand over super long patents to one company who bilks the public out of something they should be getting FREE!

charles quoting thornton wilder, "money is like manure, it's not worth a thing unless it's spread around encouraging things to grow."

[@mehboobkm2018]

Beautiful quote, never heard before! ❤❤❤

[@crystalheart9]

Thanks for that information, makes a lot of sense.

[@nohandle62]

I love it when the production goes haywire.

[@neversaygoodbye4]

I bet the woman in green was getting dizzy! 😂😂 I think everyone was sharing Gene’s cough medicine, including the crew! 😂😂

[@cathyrogers5099]

I never watched either 45 years ago but I really enjoy it

[@thomasbrett9323]

…what I remember most about the original show was girls getting back to the dorm every afternoon to watch it, religiously, like a party every weekday afternoon

[@scdevon]

When Richard started doing W.C. Fields impressions, you knew he'd had a few during the break.

[@dmnemaine]

Richard Dawson didn't drink.

[@crawfordfinley9245]

This should be aired on Buzzr’s 2nd Annual Red, White and Bloopers Marathon if they even is one!

[@RockyMtnRebecca]

I think whoever handles the stage got into Gene's cough syrup!

[@j.dovales8713]

Brett is adorable in that wig! ♥️

[@scdevon]

I hate to admit it, but she does.

[@sddwtbnofather]

Fun fact: One of Sharon's sons went to guest star on The Waltons and What's Happening Now.

[@calvada1]

Simone Guzman how bib you find this out?

[@michaelnivens6267]

way to go , Betty !!!

[@sdlively27]

Poor Gene again, this week was terrible for tech problems between the lights turning too early and the turntable. Nice end of year fun thou I think.. ;0)

[@deanstrand4260]

Not to mention the music playing before Gene was finished reading the question.

[@jools01]

I said ‘last supper’ - chance never crossed my mind.

[@RaineStudio]

Gene's wearing a tie-pin mic instead of using the usual hand microphone.

[@sdlively27]

On this date in 1956, Robert Montgomery Presents: The Man Who Vanished which had Gene Rayburn in the cast aired..

[@jamesbonnen]

I forgot when did Gene Rayburn get the Freudian microphone?

[@bradstephan7886]

He remarked about his 'new microphone' on a previous episode. You must not be watching them in order - oh, the humanity.

[@sdlively27]

episode 116 is free at last! ;0)

[@ajmittendorf]

Poor Olivia had no hope of matching more than one or two celebrities with her tie-breaking question. The other player's question had only one GOOD response, while Olivia's had dozens.

[@Echognomics101]

Sometimes that happens. The Air Force Staff Sergeant had a similarly bad fate after matching all 6 on his first round question.

[@bradstephan7886]

Wow, never expected a match with Last ___________. I would have said 'call' or 'supper'.

[@kevansf]

This is Betty's 6th successful head-to-head match, tying Richard's 6. Brett and Bert Convey have 4 each. No celebrity has 3. Six celebs have 2 matches each, and seven others have 1 each. The total win number doesn't tell the whole story though: Betty's success rate is now 42.9% (6 wins in 14 attempts). Bert has 33.3% (4 wins in 12 attempts). Brett has 28.6% (4 wins in 14 attempts). Richard has 25% (6 wins in 24 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 108, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.

[@skipmoto3438]

Beverly, call me !!!!! 1-800 - ooh- damn

[@gaamatsu4dewin]

I didn't know Brett wore a wig. It looks nice, though...

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Did you ever notice the episodes where Gene seems otherwise preoccupied?

[@Distant.horizons]

6:32 They should charge admission on this thing.

[@deanstrand4260]

Shhhh... Don't give them any ideas.

[@l.a.gothro3999]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Betty White the only semi-regular still living?

[@kevansf]

She's a national treasure and will be 100 in about a month (Jan. 17, 2022)

[@pamelabrown7204]

@@kevansf I cried as hard at hearing about her passing as I did when my grandmother passed.

[@leftwingrobinhood]

Fannie is still with us, thank goodness!

[@RobertBowman-j7c]

She died about 2 weeks before her 100th birthday.

[@otheusrex2190]

i was gonna say on the magician one "wave his magic wand"

[@janejayne8152]

Was there ever an episode with 2 male contestants ? It seems the vast majority were women. Just wondering.

[@janejayne8152]

I found one; episode 875 from 1977. Rare occurrence.

[@40bpaula]

I recall seeing one in the early years of the show. 1973 in like the first or second or third week. but yeah, mostly it's women.

[@scdevon]

The women were picked for their good looks (with some exceptions). Women are generally more animated and involved on live appearances like these. I'm sure the producers preferred women.

[@janejayne8152]

@@scdevon Probably, there were many attractive contestants. I think personality played a part in the selections as well. Back then, men were not as prevelent in this genre of tv shows, still not sure why.

[@earlofopsis1307]

@janejayne8152 Great catch and somehow I missed that week's episodes. Match Game is the gift that just keeps giving!

[@pookiemartinez1745]

RIP Beverly, Betty.

[@thomasmagnum3588]

When the contestant said she had three sons, I was hoping Beverly Garland would say, “so did I!”

OHHHHHHHH I JUST LOVED THAT!!! FINALLY!!! Shut Brett Down!! And as the cast of That 70's Show says..... Mainly Kelso... WICKED BURRRRRRRRN!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@moonpawooe7134]

Today I have been mostly eating spuds 😊

[@40bpaula]

Wow! the one time Richard D. should say "love" he doesn't! What up with dat? I just knew he would and very few of the others wouldn't. That'll learn me. Last night. My Harry is a great magician. He can tinkle with both hands tied behind his back. You gotta have great aim to achieve that...so I'm told.

[@thomasmagnum3588]

Automatic Pilot matches Flight but Escape doesn’t match Disappear? Not to mention their confusion over whether pregnant was the same as breeding or mating. UGH. The inconsistency of the judges is maddening.

[@gianfrancobolla6658]

Who nipsies or hers????

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

The Super Match "Last" would have been answered, "Last Supper" if the contestant hadn't been educated in a government school. It worked out well for the Match Game and then there was that eternity thing...

[@dmnemaine]

Oh, please. People have lives outside of religion.

[@mehboobkm2018]

​@@dmnemaine I was born a mosxxm but Supper came to my mind.

[@thomasmagnum3588]

@@dmnemaine maybe so. But they can’t have death outside of religion!

[@thomasmagnum3588]

Supper was my first thought too, but then I thought of “chance” which sounded like the better response.
