Match Game 74 (Episode 167) (with Slate) (Elaine's Bugle Boy?)

[@moniquebakker417]

I was only 12 when I use to watch this show. I still remember all yhe actors and actresses and the shows they played in. Nice memories.

[@perpieta]

A year or so earlier Bette Midler had a hit with a cover of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, so that song wasn't exactly unknown to 1974 audiences.

[@jimshaw9449]

Pam bears a striking resemblance to Shelley Duvall.

[@daverice2426]

Stuck on this channel for a while now. Came for the racy celebrity banter, stayed for the endless stream of smokin' '70s babes

[@crowleytancioco4620]

"And the audience is applauding that touch of hostility in that answer, I daresay!" Oh Gene, I love you.

[@ItsAlwaysRusty]

Pam, the 21 year old, is now 69. Time is so endless..

[@paulcaron400]

Match game & Hollywood Squares were the were my favourite game shows Peter Marshal and Gene Rayburn were the best they had so many wonderful celebrities.✨

They kissed as well

[@pencils812]

Wow.....Richard didn't have an answer for the super match! I've never seen that in the 166 episodes I've watched!

[@lcfflc3887]

he gave good answers but Cris couldn't match him.

[@Michelles222]

He looked like he got peeved a little. Cuz he was 3rd to be called on. Just his demeanor. He usually says something about it too.

[@slobodanreka1088]

70s girls were just as cute as buttons...

[@bellarose8511]

Orange...the official color of the 70’s

[@Michelles222]

Dick Gutier is so funny to me. And a good sketch artist.

[@CinemaDemocratica]

Every twenty-to-thirty-five-year-old woman in 1974 was just absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. Come at me.

[@johnblossom8447]

My thought exactly.

[@jonburrows8602]

Not only were they gorgeous, they all were in their own unique way. Now days, women all go for the same look with the big lips, and fake teeth.

[@CinemaDemocratica]

And not tatted up !!

[@lcfflc3887]

Chris had two chances to win the big money but she couldn't match Richard on the head to head.

[@Tedybear315]

Is it just me? Or does she look a tad like Shelley Duvall....(might have the name spelled wrong)

[@Floymin]

I never saw her before Popeye and Time Bandits, so I have no idea how she looked before then.

[@mdouglas1331]

Tedybear315 yes she does.

[@baltimorez-wad7281]

Tedybear315 --- yeah, def. a resemblance

[@candyandkirbygamming8116]

She does look a little bit like her. Shelly Duvall also was in The Shining with Jack Nickelson.

[@earlegavin5931]

Yes she does

[@Floymin]

Match Game is the only time Charlie Tuna was lucky enough to get caught, served, and eaten.

[@stellarjay3314]

In hindsight, those StarKist adverts were creepy, Charlie wanting to slaughtered. Surprised they didn't make him a dolphin for added creepiness.

[@BaronessVonHizen]

I like Gene's hair in this ep LOL 😅

[@hellomynameishello2159]

i love elaines “deer in headlights” expression after gene reads a question

[@kevansf]

And oh my goodness her expressions when her personalized question came up! (And all the answers!)

[@ts.elliot5870]

She seems like the lights are on but nobody's home.

I see Richard is wearing his white pants again.

[@Michelles222]

Always huh? I notice it too.

that elaine question was the best one Ive ever heard so far lol

Elaine Joyce ... just ... WOW

[@scdevon]

So sexy. What a woman. Love that "dumb blonde" act of hers too. Very hot.

[@randilevson9547]

Third Thumb answer could have been 'sore thumb.' Richard Dawson zoned out.

[@stellarjay3314]

It so bizarre that Joyce was in Motel Hell, sexily attired in s&m-ish garb.

[@pencils812]

I saw that crazy movie when I was a teenager.

[@aracelyguerrero360]

This was a fun episode 😄

[@mj6962]

Every time Gene reads a clue, Elaine looks like she has no idea where she’s at or what’s going on. LOL AND Brett, please just shut up and show your answer!!!!! I do love Brett tho. 😁

[@dmnemaine]

Even when she didn't match the contestant, Elaine gave answers that made sense. She "played" dumb blonde, but she wasn't really.

Brett said “ that her mind was going” before answering the ? and according to me “ that is not the only thing going from her”

[@SusieOudit]

Aren't they tho? I always skip 'em

[@randilevson9547]

Contestant Pam totally looked like Shelley Duvall.

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

If your ability to stay in the game depends on Brett, you'd might as well walk off the stage because you're done.

[@beckydutra6543]

Always hard on Brett. There are many times other panelists did not have the correct answer which led to a loss. Get off her.

[@beckydutra6543]

I'm pretty sure if everyone matched all the time and there wasn't someone on the show like Brett, it would get pretty dull. You wouldn't have anyone to complain about now would you. 😋

[@Michelles222]

​@@beckydutra6543Brett was annoying to me when I started back watching these shows, but...she kinda grew on me. She is funny. Her and Charles are a riot together.

[@corrinewadino8771]

BRETT acted like she was joking! And said that she tries NOT TO MATCH THE CONTENTS! And we know that she doesn’t on purpose trying to be funny! The Joker she gets the stupider the Answers Get.

[@nowandaround312]

I've been binge watching Match Game and it's becoming increasingly annoying how they always say "near-sighted" when they always mean "far-sighted." e.g. if a near-sighted farmer was close enough to milk a bull then he'd definitely know he was milking a bull. Being near-sighted is called "near-sighted" because it means you can see things that are near you. Far-sighted means you can see things that are far away and you need glasses for seeing up close.

[@tomrobertson7443]

But if one is "soooooo near-sighted" they would need to be very, very close to see the object, a couple of inches for instance. So they could mistake a bull for a cow in the land of game show crazy. :)

[@dmnemaine]

Nope, I'm extremely near-sighted without my glasses on, and in order for me to clearly see a bull, I would have to be closer to the bull than I need to be to milk it. I can't see anything clearly unless it's right up on top of my eyes practically when I'm not wearing glasses. "So nearsighted" is perfectly acceptable.

[@Iluv2crochet]

Yes that has always puzzled me

[@daytripperhd]

the least 3rd least common response really should be the $500 response but anyway

[@DJRitty]

chris didn't have much personality...but I wanted to see her in another short skirt lol

[@donmoore7785]

This woman was really embarrassed after she missed with sex education. Most uncomfortable contestant I have ever seen on a game show.

Was the skinny girl in green a Charles manson Recruit?

No wonder both her husbands left her. lol

Probably not. It was the second episode of the day. They would have taken a break after the 2nd or 3rd episode.

Nope, the thursday show starts the madness.. ;0)

[@rigeur071]

Elaine Joyce…Hachi machi!

[@stellarjay3314]

Elaine Joyce is so lovely, yet, weirdly, at the same time, because of some of her expressions, she makes me think of MacLean Stevenson in drag. 🤔

[@ts.elliot5870]

LoL!

[@netta96]

She seems to have vaccination damage

[@brettmiddleton7949]

Ah, the days before gay marriage. Nowadays Gene's response to "married ... to a husband" would have him fired at the next commercial break.

[@dmnemaine]

Yep. And in 1974, if a white woman had said, "...married ... to a white man", and Gene said, "I wouldn't have it any other way", he would have been fired. What's your point?

[@bribabytt]

@@lcfflc3887 There were interracial couples "way before" the '60s, but your implication that the idea could be freely referenced on a gameshow without repercussions is very sadly inaccurate. There was this thing called The South, and it was devoted to trying to Cancel any institution that suggested that it was ok for whites and non-whites to "mingle". TV producers lived in fear of angering the southern U.S. for a very long time.

I don't blame the contestants for picking the male celebrities for the super match. The women are all dingbats...2 blondes and a Brett!! Either that or they wanted to kiss the guys!!

Ann Elder was far from a dingbat. She was an accomplished writer. Elaine Joyce played "dingbat", but was actually pretty intelligent. Even when her answers didn't match the contestant, they were almost always answers that made sense. I will give you Brett though.
