Match Game 74 (Episode 268) (With Slate) (Mother of BLANK)

[@kellykonoske91]

Really appreciate these Nick. I enjoy them so much. I was nineteen in 74 and used to see some of these. Really puts me in good place

[@pencils812]

Who is Nick?

1974 /happy people / I was there 22 years old with the future bright!

[@MikeSebastianVideos]

Thank you so much for posting these; I absolutely love them.

[@storylass9071]

I wonder if I'm one of the few people who knows who Mason Williams is: a brilliant composer/singer most famous for "Classical Gas" (me and Jo Anne Worley) Anyone else? I even have his record (yes vinyl).

[@brettmiddleton7949]

Of course. A Billboard hit that was one of those few songs that broke genre barriers and payed on stations that even my parents listened to as well as on the rock stations. The name should have been widely recognized.

[@lindapedersen-hylka7170]

I had to look it up. Yes, I remember it now. Great song.

[@lovett.da.j]

Being 65 I still love to play “ Classical Gas” on the guitar; it took me a long time to learn it (I was 10) but I’m glad I did!😀😀👍🏻👍🏻🎸🎸

The US Navy considers submarines, ships. They refer to subs as boats due to historical tradition, but they're technically ships. Ira strikes again.

[@mj6962]

They should have counted submarine. They screwed that guy over.

Alejandro is a double cool dude. Absolutely NO flippin sense of humor, but still cool.

[@steviec6295]

Brad got shafted. The judge was incorrect. Richard made a very hood point.

[@sdlively27]

Well twice, they probably should have matched veil too. But then they probably should have matched eat with suck as well althou I can see maybe why they didn't that time.. Let me think on it.. ;0) But it would have been a tie anyway, and not a win since Juliet and Jo Anne didn't have ship/sub if I am remember correctly..

[@brettmiddleton7949]

@@sdlively27 What they should have done is not used that stupid Dracula question. There is just no sensible or clear humorous nonsensical connection between Dracula and hockey. He'd have to be dumber than Dumb Dora to want to try biting a puck.

[@dmnemaine]

Whales swimming both on the surface and under the surface has nothing to do with whether or not a submarine is a ship. Richard's point was a non sequitor.

[@beckydutra6543]

Well they matched boat and sub, they should've matched ship and sub

This is the second time they broke their own rule of the head-to-head , that must be an “EXACT” match. The other time was a singular v. a plural .

[@lovett.da.j]

Definitely Wheel Of Fortune would have not accepted that; even though Match Game judge’s rulings were wildly inconsistent at least they weren’t overly strict like the “and” some would include on a “Wheel Of Fortune” puzzle solve and then not get credit for solving it!

And Dee Davenport, as Valerie Bertinelli.

[@kristabrewer6736]

I've noticed this A LOT on alot of these episodes. But don't ya just love how people "like" a comment even though it makes absolutely NO sense? Um, what?

[@manidig]

On a bad hair day, maybe. Dee looks and sounds like a haus frau. Valerie was 14 when this was taped.

[@thejetset3357]

​@kristabrewer6736 The contestant Dee looks like Valerie Bertanelli from One Day at a Time. Next time, try to figure it out rather than assume people up vote a nonsensical comment. Makes you look like a Biden voter.

H/H match update Spoiler alert ****** Richard garnered his 40th H/H match today, briefly putting him at 33.1%, just a hair's breadth behind Bert Convy in accuracy, but his second attempt today saw him fall back a little bit again. I'm still hoping someone will choose Jo Anne Worley this week - she's got two H/H matches already, and a third will move her to the leader board! Here's the updated leader board for the 7 celebs to have scored 3 or more H/H matches so far, ranked by their current accuracy scores: Orson - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Betty - 52.6% (10 wins in 19 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 46.7% (7 wins out of 15 attempts). Charles - 44% (11 wins in 25 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). Richard - 32.8% (40 wins in 122 attempts). Brett - 28.6% (6 wins in 21 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 268, excluding the lost/missing episodes 31, 32, 33.

[@his3033]

Thank you for gathering all this information. I appreciate it.

[@kevansf]

@@his3033Thanks! I enjoy tracking this sort of trivia and I like stats, and it helps me slow down and enjoy each show more. I just watch one a day instead of plowing through a bunch all at once. I just finished episode 1263 today, and it's been fascinating to see the stats evolve and the show gradually change. And I've gathered a lot more info and trivia! No spoilers here, but I think the H/H match leader board for episode 1263 might surprise a lot of fans of the show!

[@brettmiddleton7949]

Mason Williams certainly should have been on that list! And I don't care if Brett knows him or not. That ignorant woman didn't know who Patrick Henry or Henry Ford were in earlier episodes! She has less general knowledge than the average flatworm. "Classical Gas" hit high on the charts in 68 or 69, as I recall, and received airplay on stations of just about every format: rock, easy listening, adult contemporary, etc.

[@LynxSouth]

I didn't know who he was, either, and I love that piece. I don't remember DJs mentioning him. They didn't often mention whoever arranged A Fifth of Beethoven, either.

[@dmnemaine]

Brett knew who those people were. "Who's _____?" was her attempt at creating a catchphrase for herself.

really horrible how they discriminated against CNR - right to his face. I know he handled it well - but it hurt him, he said in later interviews. So sad he had to pander to society's accepted discrimination.
