Match Game 73 (Episode 65) (Betty White is Very Sensitive)

Nipsey Russell, Loretta Swit, Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Somers, Richard Dawson, and Betty White

[@barryyoung969]

Betty sent 3 straight contestants home lol

[@tomitstube]

the lone ranger wore the mask because he was "wanted".

[@ts.elliot5870]

I thought he was a swinger

[@readytogo3186]

My response!

[@pencils812]

Richard is extremely touchy with Betty toward the end.

[@kristabrewer6736]

He's touchy period!

[@donaldleroy6502]

Hi Sam, I've watched this episode once already, I'm surprised I hadn't already made a comment, but you are right gene's got nothing on dickie d

[@annika_panicka]

She's plenty touchy with him, too, and even held up a card that said "I've got a crush on" with an arrow pointing at Richard at the beginning of the first episode of this week. Ultimately it's harmless and sweet. They appreciate each others' intelligence, lightning-fast wit and humor and have a bond. If there's chemistry between them (which can happen even if one person is happily married), it went no further than very public displays of innocent affection. They hold hands in episodes earlier (and later) in the season. Maybe they were work spouses who cuddled occasionally on national TV. Maybe Richard had a legit crush on Betty (although she's the one who held up a card for all to see) and poor impulse control, but I've been watching and he never does anything to repulse her. Who knows what each of them got out of it-I think he was lonely and she enjoyed the attention, and they were both warm people (when he wasn't in a dark mood). Which is not to discount their genuine friendship and mutual respect at that time.

[@neversaygoodbye4]

Finally someone chose “A”!!

[@sdlively27]

Kind of a good week with Loretta winning giving away 5,500 in a head to head and audience matches. Richard gave away 1,100 dollars in a head to head and audience match with 9 matches. Nipsey gave away 1,000 dollars in audience match matches with 11 matches. Betty gave away a 100 dollars in audience match match.

It's weird how surfing KZbin brought me here. This episode aired October 12, 1973 which was my birthday and I turned 3.

[@priscillalopez7480]

WWWWWOWWWWW

[@billyrobertson7881]

I was 4 then , my birthday is july of 1969

[@1maripaul]

I agree! You somehow go down the rabbit hole and wind up Here??? i remember running home after school to watch this show in our BFF home, down in their basement they had a really big TV that we loved! I turned 5 in December of 73!

[@pattypark8548]

I was 21 and my youngest son had turned 3 the day before on the 11th! Thanks for the reality check !🥰💚😃🐉🐂🦋

Tonto was the one who made the o Lone rangers mask at the start of the series...fyi.lol.

Gene did a quasi Maxwell Smart voice on the first question.

[@Tuning_Spork]

I want Charles's jacket.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Me too! I can't remember if it's the same one oj not, but he had one on the other day I wanted too

[@lacyp9125]

taxi driver and wreckless driver is an exact match.

[@priscillalopez7480]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mlchc9004]

Betty White is amazing

[@Floymin]

I've noticed that this week's questions are the closest they've come to writing detailed jokes as they did in later seasons.

[@MatchGameProductions]

The show definitely is started to settle into the "Match Game" we all know and love right around this point!

[@Floymin]

Strange that I thought it didn't happen until mid- '74. Did something happen then that I am confusing it with?

[@lcfflc3887]

Taxi driver was the answer of course even I got that one right, he gave her reckless driver.

[@kathycobb4451]

Tamira was stunning. Lovely lady.

[@RosieGaelic]

I love Loretta, but why did Brett have to move seats for her?

A pile drive cocktail is 1/3 vodka, 1/3 orange juice 1/3 prune juice! That'll clear up all your problems.

[@paulgrimaldi1751]

Dawson always mimicking Paul Lynde is a bit much.

[@swolfe9668]

I always though Richard was less straight than he appeared

[@ts.elliot5870]

Paul Lynde was a big star in the late 60s and early 70s. He was on the Dean Martin show and then was the center square on Hollywood Squares for years. Charles Nelson Rieley and Nipsey Rusell also made multiple appearances on the Dean Martin Show.

[@TheScouser1234]

I truly believe with my English accent...that I invented the word TINKLE.which is very British ..anyway the word caught on, and soon became the buzz word for this game..

[@ts.elliot5870]

Thank you for this show what it was!

Some truly weird,attention seeking idiots in these comment sections. D for effort.

Charles is starting to come into his own. Nice to hear the rest of the panellists give Brett some groaning, en masse; we like Brett, yet she can get quite grating at times in these early days what with her excessive insecurity-masking, needling others and demanding of attention. Loved it, in a years-later episode, when Ethel Merman told Brett to shut up.

[@priscillalopez7480]

THANKS FOR TELLING me that. NOW I'll be able to go ahead and watch the later episodes without Richard Dawson.

[@jennygreen3994]

LUCILLE BALL

[@markjamesmeli2520]

What's with the sound glitches throughout these episodes??

[@ts.elliot5870]

Probably has to do with the original tape recording from long long ago and far far away.

[@elizabethvasquez3618]

Some times I wish Brett would be quiet

You and lots of other people ..i'm wondering if these stars are allowed to drink during commercial breaks and what is is those cups

[@randyfritz6500]

Why didn't they take Betty Whites answer, because her's was Football, which was the $250 score. They took Nipsey Russell's answer instead. I thought the rule they took the answer that matched and came up first.

[@tomitstube]

they pick the one they like, or one of their own, they don't use all the choices the celebrities come up with.

[@sharondaniels5912]

Was Brett drunk?

[@lynskyrd78]

YES, Annoying drunk

[@ts.elliot5870]

Almost always.

[@wynottgivemore9274]

I don't know why I keep coming back to this show, I can't stand brets voice,and she is always finding a reason to talk...oh well I at least know that she's no longer talking.

[@kristabrewer6736]

HAHAHAHAHA she did A LOT better than saint Richard. I don't know HOW he every got to be on this show!

[@ts.elliot5870]

​@@kristabrewer6736For as much as you hate on Richard you know nothing of the history of the show. Gene and zrichard were the anchors of the show. When he left to do Family Fued the show died quickly on network TV and died slowly in syndication.

[@tomitstube]

you only have one?

[@katherynemero9355]

There are two things that are beginning to annoy me. It's not people, but words. "Tinkle." I realize that you can't say "take a pee," but tinkle just sounds ridiculous. "Toidy." Can't they just say toilet. I think third graders say toidy. On the flip side, I prefer "bazooms" to boobs. Bazooms has a little pazzaz in it.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I prefer Patty Deutch's word for pee, whizz

[@LynxSouth]

Hey, back then "toidy" was pushing it.

[@johnstewart9768]

How about the CORRECT medical terminology - URINATE - something everybody does several times every day ?1?

[@sdlively27]

@@johnstewart9768 You can't say that on tv back then, it had to be tinkle..

[@johnblossom8447]

Growing up in the 70s, tinkle was said quite often. Goody was used fairly often. Finally, I think bazooms is the dumbest one of the three.
