Match Game 74 (Episode 169) (with Slate) (Talk to the Judge "Ira Skutch")

[@SadieBeast]

Bert is gracious. He thanks the contestants when they choose him for the super match. Love it!

[@crystalheart9]

He's such a cutie!🥰

[@jodyreeves4869]

Brett is ok. How many drinks do they have before and after the show?

[@suefeige3531]

Sexual innuendo was just part of the social interaction in the 70s. I worked in a pub and restaurant back then, you learned to give it as well as take it, I never got offended, just played the game right back at the guys, it was expected.

[@dmnemaine]

That's actually pretty sad. Maturity and self control in public is what should have been expected.

[@dmnemaine]

@@lcfflc3887 I guess finding social toleration of sexual harassment to be a sad commentary on the era is "boring" to you. Whatever.

[@lcfflc3887]

@@dmnemaine you guys are assuming that this is sexual arrangements without asking them if they felt harassed, so how is this even and argument?.

[@davidleigh443]

Elaine Joyce was gorgeous. Great smile.

16:57 I remember the cartoon before the main feature, and I remember the intermission. No one said commercials -- were there no commercials in 70s cinemas?

[@jimmeasel1985]

5:42 Richard's answer was gun...Family Feud question in 1981, Name something that would break up a lively party. An excited contestant buzzed in and said "A gun!" X Not there...Richard had some fun with this guy, Cop walks in. Was this a lively party??

[@jeffclement2979]

Oh dear Elaine! ♡♡♡

[@scdevon]

Elaine is steaming up the whole screen. She's 29 here. Perfect. What a woman!

[@Wizardof]

Boy this one was a wild one. Dawson called the guards on somebody!!!

[@jamesr1703]

Elaine Joyce is so cute.

[@edwardlozano8807]

3:34-"With a blank what?" Really Brett? Elaine and Ann were the blondes, but they both understood the question before you did and gave better answers!

[@edwardlozano8807]

and the Gene Rayburn brain fart at 13:22....:)

[@CopperNoir]

Maybe Ann's answer to the previous question rattled him a little.

[@dannyboyy8465]

Gene was thinking of Ann Elder's boobs. I don't blame him. Lol

[@HulkSmash10]

It's because she's a camera hog, and she acts like she doesn't know what's going on.

[@nowandaround312]

Some of them clearly had a few extra drinks before shooting this one

[@dannyboyy8465]

Lol 09:59 Richard Dawson with THE question everyone was thinking!

[@Observer-jw8wv]

The explanation was funny. But smarty pants Gene gets it wrong again when Elaine asks him to explain the word. Libido is a Latin word, not a German word. I'm having a little distress thinking of Ira as having a powerful libido though... has anyone SEEN him? He looks like Colonel Klink!

[@crystalheart9]

I'm really enjoying all these Match Game shows. I am not familiar with Ann Elder, I don't recall seeing her in anything. Is she wearing a wig? She reminds me a bit of Dolly Parton.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Gun was a good answer, but I was with the majority that said lawyer. Intermission or coming attractions

[@jerradriggs2884]

For prizes you got pop corn and a vacum to clean up any kernels that fell. Makes sense to me.

[@bribabytt]

I remember Bebe Rebozo, but I'm drawing a blank on "Catherine Coleman"...was she a figure from the Nixon era?

[@johnahearn7964]

Kathryn Kuhlman, probably. She was a televangelist/faith healer.

[@jimmeasel1985]

My answer to the King question would have been crown...Elaine matched both contestants in the first round, not a dumb blonde..

[@joeambrose3260]

Ok. Now what ?

[@sdlively27]

20:25 Dumb question please, was that from Rebecca from Sunnyside Farms or what? I have a feeling it is from some movie because Gene knew right from the start what was going on and just went with it, like he always did.

This is probably Match Games Best Looking panel during its run if one were to look at such superficial things as apparently I do.

Dang, Brett wanted to be the center of attention. 🙄

[@corrinewadino8771]

I don’t know if any of you have sold cars during those years, but we really had fall mouth’s , And now they don’t pay on commission any longer I don’t know if any of you know that or not but I know in Virginia, and ARIZONA they are not paying commission whatsoever! It’s $200 a car or $100 a car. That’s an insult to our profession

[@geneburn5769]

Leave him alone!

[@spockboy]

Would've GLADLY replaced Brett Summers with Elaine Joyce as a regular.

[@sharcrum]

No, they all had their place and Brett played her role well, Elaine was a little conceited, Brett-crazy. The show worked because all those pieces of puzzle fit together well.

[@joeambrose3260]

Don't be a hater, hater

[@vitodanelli]

Absolutely! Brett is a complete jackass.

[@kristabrewer6736]

@@sharcrum Agree, except that Elaine Joyce was NOT conceited

[@corrinewadino8771]

I sold cars for a living, 30 years pounding the payment. And there was a nasty man that sold cars with us. Well, all the guys talk nasty you just had to handle them. That’s why I was always the only girl there was a strip joint across the street from us. And the nasty man and another guy used to go over there at lunch. And the nasty man came back and of course I’m big on top, and he comes to me in front of all the guys, and he said he ordered soup and the girls breast. One of her breast went into the soup when she was putting it on the table and she screamed ! And I just looked at him like he’s so sickening. Then I said you really got a kick out of that didn’t you? And all the guy started laughing! I was just one of the guys. The girls couldn’t take it to sell cars then that was during the 80s , the 90s and the 2000s up to 2008

[@kristabrewer6736]

actually Lassie's a boy

[@amandajstar]

Lawyer was my answer, too.

[@thomasmagnum3588]

Gene tries to explain that he and Richard “really do like each other”, which must have been scripted by a nervous producer during the commercial break, because clearly there was a bit of gamesmanship going on, rooted in some professional rivalry, and competition . Gene obviously had some minor resentment toward Richard since he was the “host” but Richard was the “star”, and of course eventually Richard got what he really wanted .….hosting Family Feud for over ten years and more than 2,000 episodes. Richard also got something Gene surprisingly never did: a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host.
