Match Game 73 (Episode 118) (Welcome Back Harry Reynonds?)

Panel: Bert Convy, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Lee Meriwether, Richard Dawson, and Gail Fisher

[@kayc.5213]

Contestant Harry Reynolds became comedian/actor Reynaldo Rey...Appeared in many shows and movies!

[@pencils812]

Interesting.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Yea I recognized him from 227

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Richard Dawson said, "Rose beef". 🤣🤣🤣

[@julieanderson-smith1692]

Aaaaaaahhh! I remember watching this episode when it first aired! I was only 8 years old, and even I knew Harry shouldn't have gone rogue with that bone-headed answer. He seemed like a nice guy, though, and I'm glad he went on to be a successful actor and comedian. If I remember correctly, he redeemed himself and won the next game, including the big money.

[@julieanderson-smith1692]

@todd long Yes, you did the math correctly.

[@karenleemallonee684]

I thought he looked familiar the first time he was on, what did he act in?

[@scottwest9278]

Now it would be social distancing

[@dmnemaine]

@ZoneFighter1 Social distancing is a Moran that contains oxygen? Okay. Oh, the irony.

[@artywilson9790]

This show is deeply tragic because it's where contestant Judy Ross loses and leaves. I would have loved to have seen her in that white outfit. In the early years of this show, sometimes the contestants outshone the beautiful celebrities, even the ultra hot Gail Fisher.

[@MensAsses33]

Lots of commenters are down on Brett. I actually like her and think she added a lot of fun to the show. And she was one of the longest on the show, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

[@deanstrand4260]

Brett could be likeable and fun when she would focus on the questions and apply herself. There were, however, times when she didn't listen or pay attention. She would be talking over Gene and other celebrities. She could also be very catty towards any other female celebrities.

[@MensAsses33]

@@deanstrand4260 well, I can't disagree with your comment. I was directing my comment at the number of mean-spirited comments about her. People forget that these television personalities were real people, and after they pass away, their children and grandchildren read these comments and would those mean people want to read nasty comments about their dead mother or father?

[@sharondaniels5912]

Brett was still horrible. Not funny at all. To each his or her own.

[@todddepue681]

@@MensAsses33 I think what people miss is that the whole point of Brett was to antagonize the others and be the target for their jokes. Not an easy role to be the "unlikable " one but she had legions of fans who I think related to her on several levels. Like you said, she sat there for almost 9 years. And it certainly wasn't because the producers were just too nice to fire her.

[@amandajstar]

@@sharondaniels5912 I like her. Now what?

[@stevenginsberg8471]

Usually I get these 1970s references easily. But I was not at all familiar with the particulars of Gunsmoke so I did not recognize Marshall Dillon or Miss Kitty. (Thank you, Wikipedia.)

If you search into KZbin Amanda Blake on match game you will see miss Kitty because she plays her .

Judy was absolutely gorgeous!! She reminded me of a certain popular actress from the era but I can't recall her name. Ideas anyone?

[@kc5gos11]

Why doesn't Harry ever smile? Ever!!

I said turn blue as well! Was that contestant from Cleveland? It was a saying on a local comedy show in the 1960s.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

I'm surprised the celebrities weren't thinking of the Rose Bowl, which would have been my first guess, since they were taping shows that would air around New Years Day. I wonder how many weeks earlier the audience was polled.

[@tomitstube]

good question about when the audience is questioned, it could make a diff. the previous week panelist june lockhart mentioned she was one of the rose bowl parade announcers. brett, dawson, and cnr were on that show, whether they were listening...

[@amandajstar]

One of the cards showed on camera? Eh? More likely they felt they should give him a better experience than 'you instantly lose -- get lost'!

[@TheScouser1234]

Hajaha some very sick people online in these days

[@dmnemaine]

Actually, there was a question where Gail Fisher inadvertently showed her answer when she was putting her card in the slot the last time that Harry was on. It also happened to be the only answer that his opponent matched with correctly.

[@fruitmon9563]

What does him seeing the card have to do with anything. He wormed his way back on the show!

Some questions were just not fair because there was such an obvious answer!!

[@sandrahall9678]

More than once I actually thought the show was rigged. Actually, I still do.

[@sharcrum]

@@sandrahall9678 well, I'm not sure I think of it as rigged. It just wasn't always fair. I think they focused so much on the comedy side of the game that they didn't see some of these aspects from an objective perspective.

[@dmnemaine]

Perfectly fair. That's why there was always a choice about which question to pick. While some questions may have been "easier" than others, there was no way to know which contestant was going to get which question.

[@sharcrum]

But the show's question writers should not have had so many questions that were so obviously one-answer questions while others were so wildly open!

[@dmnemaine]

@@sharcrum The point of the game was to make the audience think of a "naughty" match to the answer. They weren't so concerned about how narrow or open-ended the blanks were.

a question about "scarface", so the oliver stone movie was a remake?

[@UberLummox]

I dunno, I was thinking they refer to Al "Scarface" Caopone when they ask scarface questions during this time period. Not aware of a scarface movie prior to Pacino's.

[@mlg1948]

UberLummox original Scarface was 1932, but it wasn’t about Capone - Paul Muni played the title character of Tony Camonte. Here’s the trailer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noOxkoawrat1nbM Hope you can pull it up.

15:05 she starts copping an attitude. 15:43 more of the same. noticed a similar reaction on a couple previous contestants, ironically both white women... acting entitled is the impression i got. granted it's white women who are the overwhelming majority of contestants, so i'm sure it's just coincidence.

Which means there was no rigging at all, right? Of course, if you listen to idiot right wing talking heads who want people to send them money, then you might have a different opinion.

[@pazza4555]

So no rigging at all, which we know from recounts and certifications. I've been a ballot processor in my state, and there are many steps to verify ballots. It would be damn hard to cheat it. What cracks me up is how many Republicans think that Republican-run state agencies rigged the election against a Republican presidential candidate. DUH!

Jenny Green BLM protests didn’t turn into riots and mayhem. Looters and rioters turned into mayhem. Please don’t blame a movement on the actions of a few, as despicable as they are. And by the way the Bible predicted a lot of things, but I don’t know anywhere that it gave a date for the end of the world.

I really wish they hadn't made Brett a regular on the show. With her boorishness, wrongly thinking she was clever and funny, and her godawful loud, harsh voice and cackle, well really, a little, VERY LITTLE, of that old broad went a VERY long ways indeed.

[@mlg1948]

I disagree - I’m one of the very few who enjoyed her most of the time. Sometimes she got on my nerves. I know - I know - “everybody’s out of step but Johnny”. I fully admit it - I’m quirky. 🤪🤪🤪 however one of the guest panelists who was on quite a few times that I reaaaaally got annoyed with was Kay Stevens. Any thoughts on her?

@@mlg1948 The laugher, yes she was annoying, but at lease she didn't take half an hour just to give her answer like Brett did. And she kept herself to herself. I think even Gene got frustrated with her. And the way she kept putting Jack Klugman down was horrible! Even when he was there! Now, my favourite celebrity of them all was Fannie Flagg! Her jumpers were amazing, she was funny, and she kept herself to herself. I really wished she could of been where Brett was, but, I guess that other commitments stopped her from doing that.
