Match Game 75 (Episode 453) (BLANK Cassidy?)

[@davelinn32115]

I loved the Tidy Bowl man explanation. Richard's "he lives in the back of your toidy" and Arlene"s "That's terribly interesting."

"The one with the finger in her nose" priceless

Arlene was the original member of the "Match Game 90's Club" (those who have lived/are living into their 90's)....she was 93 when she passed away in 2001...here's a little more about her...www.imdb.com/name/nm0290086/?ref_=nv_sr_1

1975....when a ring in a nose would have been an oddity.

Uggghhhh can someone get out the big cane and yank Gary off that set?!

[@HulkSmash10]

Gary tries to be funny...just annoyingly dumb.

I matched with Richard with "the wardens DOG." The wardens wife wouldn't be at a prison.

[@kevansf]

I like "dog" better too. Given that the prisoner was a master of disguise, I think disguising himself as a dog would be a fitting challenge... But it's hard to argue with success, and wife worked out for the contestant!

[@mlchc9004]

Love Betty’s answer “ water ballet” …

[@kevansf]

Me too. And I think the match was valid. Even though they frequently say they can't match a general with a specific, they do it anyway with great regularity...

@@pencils812 Oh hell, he got off EASY. I kinda like him now, but that teeny-bopper bubble-gum stuff he did was certainly worthy of some ridicule especially at the time in '75. He seemed like an extremely nice guy though!!!

9:18 Gene: _"How do you comb your hair? I've often wondered that."_ Avery: _"I just pull the radio into the tub with me..."_ The stalling-for-time convo and antics are as entertaining as anything else on this meshugenah show.

[@MikeSebastianVideos]

That's great Brett, let everyone know each time you have a thought ...

[@UberLummox]

The one thing I personally think is even worse than that is her incessant coughing. Totally grates on my nervous's! : )

[@kristabrewer6736]

@@UberLummox Good for you. If you were on the panel and coughed like that, you'd be SICK of someone telling you control it

Brett never pays attention. .

[@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687]

Yes, she does. Have you actually seen Brett match????

[@theoriginaljrest]

@@proud_brettsomersfanclub8687 You don't EVER see Betty White ask for a question to be repeated. Brett needed a hearing aide or better yet, should have just be more attentive. Without fail, every episode since she became a regular in the top seat, every darn episode she has to have a question repeated. Annoying as all hell.

What a contrast; Betty is intelligent, funny, demure, pretty - and then there's Brett ....

[@pencils812]

Betty is too flirtatious with both Gene and Richard.

[@kristabrewer6736]

who's also intelligent, funny and demure

[@kevansf]

This isn't a direct reply to the OP, but a more general comment on Brett and the show: Yes, Betty and Brett have very different personalities and roles to play on the show. Thank goodness. The contrast was a factor in the show's popularity. I LOVE Betty. I LOVE Brett. (I also love CNR and Fannie.) Having the two of them playing off each other is television GOLD. Seriously, if if all the panelists were calm, demure, and simply played the game without any antics or horsing around, the show wouldn't have lasted a year. Gene knew it. He was the one who set the tone and encouraged the wild antics (he's rolled onto stage for his opening, for example, and has run around chasing or being chased by panelists, sometimes running out into the audience). The producers knew that they needed to set themselves apart from the straight-laced, rather dry, old-fashioned game shows of the day, and so they sought out and hired a variety of personalities. Brett was hugely popular with daytime television audiences at the time and her presence helped power the show's success in part because she wasn't a demure little lady. The show was NOT successful because it was a good game (it was a mediocre game at best -- Password and Jeopardy are classic examples of great games). The program was successful because it was entertaining. It was engaging. People tuned in every weekday to spend time with the celebrities and have a laugh. The game was secondary, an excuse to assemble the panel and to give them something to do. The celebrities' job was to be human, to entertain, to banter, to interact, to be silly, to become familiar faces to the American daytime TV audience. And Brett excelled at that. It's fine that people take the time to express how much they dislike Brett today, but it's important to keep in mind that the show was designed to appeal to the daytime television audience of 1973 (and on through the seventies) and so it's hardly surprising that it may or may not appeal to a broader audience some 50 years later. For those who truly detest certain members of the panel, my best advice is to watch something else. There's no shortage of media content these days.

[@brandiegger8808]

The wonderful Ms. White was many things, but demure wasn’t one of them.

[@kevansf]

"Grape ____________" (today's head-to-head match) (spoiler alert) ... My first thought was Grape Nehi, but even though that was Radar's favorite drink on "MASH," I thought it might be too esoteric, so I went with grape juice as my answer. The contestant's grapevine made perfect sense and I slapped my forehead because I hadn't thought of it. "Heard it through the grapevine" and a section of I-5 near LA is known as the grapevine. Brett answered Grape Nuts, another answer that I didn't think about. But you know, her answer makes a lot of sense too. The MG writers have come up with questions featuring Euell Gibbons at least a dozen times since MG premiered, and Gibbons was famous for his long-running series of Grape Nuts TV commercials.

[@kathischumacher1572]

Was John the white hunter in the original jumangi movie?

[@pencils812]

Why were they mocking the David Cassidy answer? They can all certainly be mean sometimes.

[@kevansf]

I think part of the reason is that Jack Cassidy had been a fill-in panelist (in the #1 seat) for a week (or two? I forget now) and Gary mentioned his son David instead.

[@corrinewadino8771]

It’s so stupid that nowadays, people walk around with rings on their nose, hooks, they might as well put padlocks on their nose! It looks so gross! Nothing is even sacred anymore or beautiful as it used to be years ago. It is now November 2024, 50 years later

[@corrinewadino8771]

I don’t know why they would not cut Gary’s mic off. He always has to say something and I mean always.

[@pencils812]

Once in a while he says something a little clever.

[@kevansf]

He got a good one in today. @ 2:38 Brett says "God save the Queen" and Gary retorts "Is he back in town?" followed by his CNR laugh. That's one thing I like about Gary -- he doesn't let the audience forget he's just filling in for the great CNR. (And Gene definitely laughed at that one!)

[@Ruth-b8c]

On one show they had a caption Shirley Williams look a-like, (I didn't think so) but this show, they should have had Hillary Clinton look a-like!
