Match Game 75 (Episode 387) (BLANK Luke)

[@LVSignChick]

You can tell by looking at Richard when a head to head question was a tough one: he looks legit flustered trying to figure the the answer he believes will win...

[@יעליעקב-ת4מ]

I love how Richard really put his heart into giving the winning answer

There's a picture of me floating around somewhere wearing a pair of pants like Gene has on. What can I say. I grew up in the 70's ✌

[@ts.elliot5870]

I wore something very similar to my high school prom. I thought it looked sharp at the time!

[@AlliSam54]

Think about it: In 2020 seeing this is like in 1975 looking back to 1930!

[@christinao1787]

I'm wondering if Bradley, in his 50s, lurks here and watches this and episode 386 to have Richard Dawson greet him

[@brettmiddleton7949]

Well, there's one difference. In 2020 I remember 1975, but in 1975 I could not have remembered 1930. I'm not Old Man Periwinkle! Not yet, anyway.

Opening from Richard and Marcia refers to the previous show...

[@sdlively27]

On this date in 1976, the tv game show Family Feud hosted by Richard Dawson aired it's first episode on ABC.

[@randydellinger2996]

Bob had 2 tough questions.

"RUG" Burn. I'm sure we've ALL had a few of these over the years ✌

[@kevansf]

Well, we're two days into the week without a single winning H/H match yet. We've got some unfamiliar faces on the panel, with Dwayne Hickman and Carol Lawrence being new. Marcia Wallace is becoming a familiar semi-regular, but hasn't been chosen yet, so remains somewhat an unknown quantity. (Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to choose her for the H/H match.) Gary matched the one time he was selected. That leaves Brett and Richard as the familiar faces with decent track records for the contestants to select from. Richard has been chosen all 3 times so far this week, but now he's on a cold streak and missed all 3. 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 - 50% (13 wins in 26 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 - 34.9% (66 wins in 189 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 387, 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!")

[@donaldleroy6502]

My answer for the stuffed moose was she tried to throw it away. Once again when all else fails go with the wife answer. Who else knew that keep your cool was the 500 dollar answer?

[@brettmiddleton7949]

"Cool" was my first thought. I don't know where Brett came up with "hat", but "keep your knickers/shorts/pants on" or "keep your shirt on" would have been good.

[@kevansf]

@@brettmiddleton7949 "Keep your pants on" was my first thought, but I didn't really expect it to be up there.

[@jjryan1352]

Keep your shirt on.

[@marywoodruff6640]

Fun to see Dwayne Hickman. Dobie Gillis right? Richard sure disappointed himself whenever he got a head to head match wrong, let alone throw the right answer away. The pressure he was under by this time, being picked more and more often, to be right, had to have been immense -- and only got worse as time continued. No wonder by 76 when he was doing both am and pm Match Game AND Family Feud, he was truly upset when MG wouldn't let him out of his contract.

[@sdlively27]

Hmm I believe Family Feud didn't premiere until July 12, 1976.. And the Synd in Sept 77.. And yes he was...

[@mlg1948]

I agree with you 100% Mary Woodruff. Can’t imagine that kind of pressure.

[@garfield2439]

He sure beat himself up over not getting it right. I honestly don't know how he stood the pressure I wouldn't want it.

Interesting comment Gene makes about Brett's job at 10:39.

He fought for her to be 9n there per jk request. Jack and him were good friends

[@ottojones3162]

Richard was the only one who kept his cool when called upon for a H to H match. That was why he was called upon so often.

Anybody else think of Heartburn for the super match? That was my answer

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

One of the reasons Richard Dawson hated Brett Somers so much was because she was in the habit of walking all over other people's punchlines. In "the business", that's called, "heckling", when someone in the audience does it but when another cast member does it, it's called "upstaging" and it's considered EXTREMELY rude... which, I suppose, accurately describes Brett Somers.

[@deanstrand4260]

She also just plain interrupted people quite a bit. That's also quite rude. I don't blame Richard for hating that.

[@sharondaniels5912]

She gave an interview later on in life and the feeling was mutual. She seemed to imply that the others felt the same way about Richard. She certainly didn't want him getting all the attention and being the most popular with the contestants

[@RonJDuncan]

[@brianb.5473]

I had a few pair of the checkered pants. First and second grade. 72-74. I don't remember wearing any 3rd grade Sept 74- May 75. Guessing they were either popular for those couple years or my Mom just liked them?

[@tonystone1016]

Gene is representing the 70s with that suit! It was very on point. I had a similar suit for my prom which was 1977.

[@pencils812]

Do you think Gene was serious when he said that he saved Brett's job 100 times?

[@ts.elliot5870]

Yes I'm sure at least a 100 times. Brett was a drunk and drunks get mean and talkative when they've had too much. In a way the show created the atmosphere by hosting an open bar.

[@brettmiddleton7949]

Not a lot of animation fans on the panel, I guess, or both "Lucky Luke" and "Flukey Luke" would have been possible answers. It isn't likely that the survey audience would have come up with either, though. "Lucky Luke" was a cowboy character that first appeared in the 1940s, while "Flukey Luke" was a cowboy character on the "Milton the Monster" cartoon of the 1960s (and probably an homage to "Lucky Luke").

Childhood was my first thought. I often don't match Richard. ---- I think he asked for the clarification re: child vs child's because he was thinking of "child's play."

[@ottojones3162]

Second time winning and he has $300. How is it possible?

[@tonystone1016]

You got $100 each time you win a round so $100 + $100 for two rounds =$200. Then then must've matched the $100 audience match.
