Match Game 75 (Episode 380) (Christina Bangs Her Camera!)

[@jojones2500]

Greg Morris was very handsome , and loved him on Mission Impossible .

[@beckydutra6543]

Omgosh, 3xs in a row for Joyce w/Marcia, amazing!! 💥💥💥💥💥

[@pencils812]

Wow!

[@kevansf]

Amazing! This contestant and Joyce were obviously on the same wavelength! -- I've been watching from the first episode, and I don't recall any other contestant getting the maximum winnings 3 games in a row. -- Side note, the first thing I though of was a "bunch of bull" (+/- the "s" word), but then I decided I'd better play it safe and say grapes!

YAAAAAY!! saint Richard was given the shaft (at least for a few days)

[@kwdrm1]

Richard's Stan Laurel impersonation was on the money in this episode.

Wow 3xs with Joyce. Great job to both! 💥🎉😊

[@laurieelliott3791]

I adore all the hugs on this show ❣️

[@rbrucewilliams2924]

Marcia Kaufman matched three times in a row with Joyce as others have mentioned. I find it cool that she used her money for a down payment on a home and later went into real estate. She is a broker in Huntington Beach CA. As is my roommates mom.

[@raynaberg1862]

I love Richard Dawson

[@sum_beach_sumwhere4258]

The more his beard grew, the more handsome he looked. RIP Richard.

[@kristabrewer6736]

LOOOL OK

[@DoloresRoberts-hy5uy]

LOVE Richard but hate the beard.

[@1mNmbr01]

A bearded Dicky Dawson is a lovely thing 🥰

[@blindjustice8753]

Didn’t come into this world until 10 years after match game ended And I absolutely love this show

[@beckydutra6543]

Wow Marcia was sent off quickly, usually a few words are made. She was either very humble or very confident haha . Lucky, blessed girl!

[@kevansf]

Marcia was somewhat shortchanged in the goodby department by time constraints. They were coming up against the clock and since it was the end of the week, Gene needed a few extra seconds to preview the galaxy of stars who would appear next time. But I doubt she was too heartbroken after her major winnings haul!

[@davidrouleau6254]

It would be nice to catch up with the contestants

[@earlegavin5931]

Wonder if any of celebrities ever thought "geez these contestants are getting more than we're being paid" 🤣🤣🤣

[@lcfflc3887]

in just one game LOL.

[@lcfflc3887]

i wonder if any of them sometimes would get jealous and boycott the now rich contestant on purpose by giving them the wrong answer.😄

[@ts.elliot5870]

The show was very successful for a long time. I've never seen and numbers but I'm guessing there was enough money to make it interesting.

[@jjryan1352]

@@ts.elliot5870 yes but the panelists were hardly major celebrities. Often the more famous ones were just there for one taping session to plug a new network show, kind of like doing a late night show appearance. The less famous ones were probably thinking of the PR exposure. I doubt they were paid much. They do have a minimum according to the SAG rules or something. Brett Sommers hardly has any acting credits other than TV series appearances, so this was a good gig for her.

[@annika_panicka]

They say it out loud on more than one occasion!

[@mickeymouse2able]

This was a good episode. Joyce was not so ditzy.

[@brettmiddleton7949]

Joyce is not a ditz, she just plays one on TV.

[@mrnmrsifl]

7:30 Remember this one being used on the Baldwin MG, with the guy answering "hair."

[@kevansf]

Well this was an interesting week for H/H matches! Unlike most recent weeks, Richard was *not* the go-to celebrity chosen. Joyce Bulifant was chosen 3 times -- and incredibly matched all three of them, so now she moves up to the big leader board in a tie with Orson for a perfect score. Obviously though, with such scant data, that accuracy score is less significant, but the fact is clear: Joyce is a sharp player and perfectly capable of coming up with a winning answer for the head-to-head match. But as we've seen in the past, there's no guarantee that Joyce will be selected again any time soon -- Orson has been on the panel a week or two since his earlier matches without ever being selected again, and even Betty White can go a week or two without being chosen by a contestant. Fannie also has an excellent record based on 13 attempts, but wasn't chosen again this week... Anyway, here's the updated leader board showing the *10* celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: TIE: Orson Bean - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Betty - 54.2% (13 wins in 24 attempts). Fannie - 46.2% (6 wins in 13 attempts). Charles - 45.7% (16 wins in 35 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 34.6% (63 wins in 182 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). Brett - 32.1% (9 wins in 28 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 380, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")

Did anyone understand Fannie’s joke about Brett’s Christmas gift? A bus ticket to Birmingham sitting next to Fred MacMurray?!?

[@ts.elliot5870]

I'm guessing that Fred McMurrary was a very laid back, quiet and boring guy. It'd be a very long bus ride from LA to Alabama sitting next to him. Just guessing though.

[@perpieta]

In the '70s Fred MacMurray was a spokesman for Greyhound Bus and did a lot of TV commercials for them.

[@genehamilton6045]

Wow Richard is extra happy today

[@ShortyGirl63]

Gene Hamilton I noticed that too. Genuine giggling with Fannie. Side note, I’m sure Richard wanted to say manhood instead of passion.

Very different from him at the end of his time on the show.

Well kind of a slow week althou Joyce went 3 attempts to 3 matches on head to heads giving away 16,000 dollars in head to heads and audience match matches with 11 matches for the semi regulars.. Richard gave away 6,250 in audience match and head to head matches with 11 matches as well for the regulars..OH! Joyce takes over the lead for the first time from Richard for the panelist who has given away the most money thus far this season! Joyce 16,000, Richard 14,750..

[@jjryan1352]

Brett: Didn't you used to be (NYC) Mayor LaGuardia? Gary: Didn't you used to be Charlie Ruggles? (A comic American character actor. In a career spanning six decades, Ruggles appeared in close to 100 feature films). Fred MacMurray was an American actor and singer who appeared in more than 100 films and a successful television series during a career that spanned nearly a half-century, from 1930 to the 1970s. (Not sure what Fanny's reference means, maybe he had a squeaky clean image but was self-absorbed in real life). Farley Granger was an American actor, best known for his two collaborations with director Alfred Hitchcock. Raymond Burr as Chief Ironside, a consultant for the SFPD, who was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot while on vacation. (quite a cruel joke by Richard there, and it may have affected the answers).

[@mrnmrsifl]

Fred MacMurray was "The Shaggy Dog". That's what I thought she meant, but wasn't sure if it was him or Dean Jones in that movie until I looked it up.

[@dmnemaine]

@@mrnmrsifl Tommy Kirk played Willoughby Daniels, a teenager who became a shaggy dog, in the original film. Fred MacMurray played his father. Dean Jones played an adult Willoughby in the sequel called, "The Shaggy D.A.".
