Match Game 73 (Episode 74) ("Slide It George?")

[@paullambert8701]

Christmas Eve 2019 in Berlin. I am binge watching Match Game 73! I just can't get enough.

[@HeidiJohnson01]

His dingy - great answer!!!

[@sandraswan2495]

I work at nights in a hospital and am able to watch it. 2021

[@kt9166]

Thank you for posting these! Love them!🤣🤣🤣Eventually, it'll be SLIDE IT EARL!

[@40bpaula]

Lol. The questions in this ep were hilarious! Loved it. That Helen had some good answers. Too bad she was playing with MG's panel. "You're the only one i've ever shared an apple with". Nice. I have to say thought that it was weird of Sunny to say Valentine's heart for her head to head with Richard. I kept thinking broken. It was closer than her answer was. Glad she did match with old Brett. I thought she would say suit but she came through for Sunny.

[@breganp]

Interesting to see all the ashtrays by their lights.

[@kevansf]

Brett's second successful head-to-head match! (Out of 7 tries.) Charles also has two wins (out of only 3 tries!). Richard also has two wins (out of 14 tries). Betty has three wins (8 tries). And the current best super-matcher is: Bert Convey with 4 (out of 9 tries). Other semi-regulars with 2 head-to-head wins: Jo Ann Pflug 2 out of 6 tries. Jack Klugman 2 out of 4 tries. Stu Gilliam 2 out of 5 tries. *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 to 74, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.

[@Echognomics101]

Only 1/7 for Dickie Dawson early on, in baseball terms he was hitting under .166 for the season. I thought Jo Ann and Jeff Nichols had a run of success during his 9 game winning streak.

[@wcwindom56]

cant believe they didnt go with "sweet" heart

[@beatlequeen06]

Thank goodness Earl came around!

[@johnstewart6366]

"...what a nightmare - I dreamed I was stranded on a deserted island, and the only other person there was __________ (Brett Somers)" - a REAL nightmare

[@temporatus6172]

John Stewart. Oh man. You should see a shrink for that!

[@skyedog24]

I'm so glad she got to win finally.

[@suziethomas7719]

I think it's so funny how Brett always refers to her husband as Jack Klugman, never just Jack.

[@amberola1b]

Maybe she does that because some people may not know who she's married to if she just only mentioned his first name since she IS married to someone famous

[@amberola1b]

I think she does it because if she just said Jack and not his last name people may not know who she's married to because he is a famous actor.

[@40bpaula]

She's name dropping.

[@todddepue681]

I think its just a thing she does with people's names. She also sometimes says Betty White and Charles Nelson Reilly when they're sitting right there. No deep meaning.

[@dmnemaine]

Jack Klugman was a huge TV star in 1973 (The Odd Couple). She wanted everyone to know that she was associated with a huge TV star.

[@jamesharris2841]

Sunny Coleman one of the best looking guest.

[@sdlively27]

I have to say I love it when they get Gene to plush or can't stop laughing (Ep 73). I guess I am bad..

[@ifiwereamatchgamepanelist6779]

Coleman-Randall, round 1, question B: "The advantages of property ownership: she's a RANCHER." (Bzzt!) Question A: "I said his DAME OF MALTA, and I expect you historians in the audience to explain what that's a euphemism for." (Bzzt!) "Correct: not toys." Round 2, question B: "Well, SEEN, of course; wasn't that the point?" (Bzzt!) Question A: (just holding up the card, probably) BABY Super Match, part 1: CLEANERS Part 2: SUIT Coleman-Cox, round 1, question A: "Jack's wife stole my answer. YOU!" (Bzzt!) Question B: "Come on, Mrs. Jack, stop stealing my answers. REPRIEVE!" (Bzzt!)

[@louistenore2185]

Oh i thought Earl was from the beginning .

[@dmnemaine]

I'm surprised that "suit" matched "clothes". It seemed pretty set in stone that specific didn't match general.

[@staciebonner4919]

I think they needed new judges on here, a lot of answers should have been accepted for toys. Did anybody else think of Gilligan for the last island question?

[@dennislalka8027]

never give up on Richard no matter what!

[@wickedmuffin76]

I thought “bullet proof vest” for the last question too

[@kevansf]

The first thing that came to my mind was a "blank" - as his last request, Pierre wanted the gun loaded with a blank!

[@bradstephan7886]

You know, it makes sense that the Champion, who won giving the worst answers, only because the Challenger's answers were even more lame, could not win the biggie with Richard and his intelligent answers, but with Brett and her goofy answers! But, I was happy for both of that 'odd couple'! PS - Actually, the Challenger's first answer of "vegetarian" was a great one and should have been a winner.

[@joeambrose3260]

Heavy heart wasn't so great either

[@40bpaula]

@@joeambrose3260 It was better than Valentine's heart.

[@HulkSmash10]

Fuck yea

[@Wizardof]

This show has a lot of TPIR noises and whistles.

[@terrylucas8424]

Neither one are the brightest...

[@79centsoutofadollar]

Sunny was absolutely HORRIBLE at this game.

[@johnstewart6366]

Sonny is a pretty woman, with a beautiful smile, and incredibly long legs ! Very nice, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But then, I have never asked for a piece of brain !

[@zq9m3xh8]

Yes, a very attractive lady, but the 3rd time was the charm!

[@joeambrose3260]

It's a miracle this show wasn't cancelled after the 1st season

[@dmnemaine]

Audiences loved the celebrity panel games of the 60s and 70s. No surprise at all that this show lasted many years.

[@kristabrewer6736]

I am so SICK of Richard's dirty and vulgar Remarks on this show!! I watched this before, and it's always been my favorite. I never did like Richard and his ego, but I NEVER remembered him being so dirty (honestly, I never remembered this SHOW being so dirty)

[@Echognomics101]

*"A dinghy is a type of small boat, often carried or towed by a larger vessel."* The answer "The admiral likes to play with his _ding(h)y_ in the bathtub is a double entendre variation of Jo Ann's answer which was Boat. If the contestant had said Boat, Ding(h)y could and should have matched.

[@sharondaniels5912]

Gotta be a dirty vulgar person to interpret Richard that way

[@neversaygoodbye4]

“I happen to know he liked to play with his dingy” 😹 🛶
