Just happened to watch this on 9/7/18, the day after the world learned that Burt Reynolds - the #1 answer on this episode's Audience Match - had passed away. Truly the end of an era. Memory eternal.

[@jazzysophie9943]

Yes indeed!!

[@steveyounker7897]

Yes, and Burt actually appeared on the show once, although sadly, not as a panelist. He was taping an episode of the Dinah Shore Show or something, next door, and just stopped by to say hi.

H/H match update: Note: We haven't a successful H/H match since #499! This week sees the return of Bert Convy, Jo Ann Pflug, and Joyce Bulifant! This is the first time ever that all six panelists have a history of 3 or more successful H/H matches under their belt! Joyce has the least H/H match experience of this week's celebrities, but even she has been chosen 4 times and matched 3 of those -- not bad! I'd say this is a lucky week to be a winning Match Game contestant with such a wide variety of "dingbats" (Gene's word) to choose from, all with good to great track records of winning H/H matches! Or will everyone just keep choosing Richard all week? Speaking of Richard, he seems temporarily stuck at 99 H/H matches, because today was his *fifth* miss in a row, dropping him just below Brett in overall accuracy. This is now the fourth time in MG history that Brett's accuracy rating has surpassed his... Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (3 wins in 3 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Fannie - 50% (9 wins in 18 attempts). Betty - 48.4% (15 wins in 31 attempts). Charles - 45.9% (17 wins in 37 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 36.6% (15 wins in 41 attempts). Richard - 36.5% (99 wins in 271 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 506, 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!")

[@allenjones3130]

The late Messrs. Convy and Reynolds formed a game-show production company called Burt and Bert Productions. Nice to see Joyce again.

[@ShortyGirl63]

What about Bert and Ernie (Sesame Street)?

[@cjs1982]

And making its debut here is the second version of the neon money sign (notice that the digits are skinnier, and the "1" that goes down the middle in the second digit (for $1000)) and this would be in place until Episode 1245.

[@sanford943]

I recently found out I could watch Match game on buzzer. But like Game Show Network they seem to skip around between seasons. Last week on the 5 PM CDT they showed the episodes with Jack Cassidy. We forgot to watch yesterday. We are watching and we watched the last two games of 76 and now they are showing the first week of 77. It looks like you could watch every episode of the run on line. So why do they skip around.

[@storylass9071]

I just plug in the episode number so I get the in order.

[@mittens4kittens435]

That was kind of rude of Bert to call the contestant's wife in the audience "not in a skinny condition." Maybe she was pregnant, but still...

It's because Jerry announced that she was with child. Bert was referring to that. He was a gentleman and was making a joke that didn't quite work.

Brett, the playboy club, really? I thought you were better than that. Hollywood is a little extreme and so are you all. However, you all are a lot of fun. Sometime a little full of yourselves. But, you Brett, are one of my favorites. Love you, guys and girls.

Maybe you're thinking of the Playboy Mansion? Because there were a few Playboy Clubs (I think) and celebrities of all sorts would go to the clubs. And likely the mansion as well on certain occasions I believe. Especially back then. For entertainers performing them it was just another gig to most I bet.
