Match Game 75 (Episode 511) (Kate Jackson First Show) (Gene Sits On Top Row)

[@arielledavisson8172]

Oliver is one my favorites, and one of the panelists' favorite too it seems! So decent, dignified and intelligent.

[@BritneySpears2023]

Kate Jackson was great on this episode of Match Game 75

[@jaredlowe3927]

Fannie's answer at the end that a meat ball was a "formal dance" was so funny!

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

Kate Jackson was on _The Rookies_. It was on when this episode aired. It was actually on ABC. _The Rookies_ was an Aaron Spelling series, just like _Charlie's Angels_.

[@sdlively27]

On this date in 1971, the local tv game show Lucky Pair hosted by Richard Dawson aired it's final episode in L.A. Synd.

[@DiscoMatty79]

Kate is adorable here. She reminds me a lot of my 16 year old niece. Same looks and slightly awkward mannerisms.

[@Half_Moon_Bay]

It's cute that your niece looks like Kate and has her mannerisms. I always loved Kate's beauty, talent, charisma and her mannerisms. She definitely was special and not some dull Barbie. Always Team Kate :-)

H/H match update: Avery Schreiber returns for his fourth Match Game week, so he's becoming a familiar face, but he hasn't yet been chosen by a contestant for the big-money head-to-head match. And Kate Jackson makes her MG debut this week. Sadly, she only returns once (in '76 for episodes 656-660). Our three regulars, along with semi-regular Fannie Flagg, all have well-established track records in the H/H match. Let's see who gets chosen this week... ... and the weeks kicks off with Richard earning his 101st H/H match. 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 - 47.4% (18 wins in 38 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 38.1% (16 wins in 42 attempts). Richard - 36.9% (101 wins in 274 attempts). Bert - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 511, 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!")

She was on The Rookies, at this time. ('72 - '76)

That is correct and it was one of her 1st hit Prime Time Series She had 3 Hit TV Shows: The Rookies as Nurse Jill Danko, The Original Charlie's Angels as The Smart Angel Sabrina Duncan and the CBS Drama Series Scarecrow and Mrs. King as Amanda King and it co-produced by her Production Company Shoot the Moon Enterprises and Warner Bros.

yeah she had to go around naked all the time :(

[@stanerickson647]

She was very conservative in her image...

[@garfield2439]

I remember about the bathing suit but idk about the clothes

[@Kandik93]

Kate wore a lot of tight stuff. Her in tight bell bottoms and T-shirts. Sexy! Kate was not conservative she just didn't want to be a sex symbol but wanted to be taken seriously as an actress. She was a terrific actress and had co-created Charlie's Angels: the show's name, the winning concept were Kate's ideas. However, Aaron Spelling turned it into a T&A show instead of a crime show with some depth. Kate rebelled against it by not wearing bikinis.

EARTH

[@steveyounker7897]

Okay, someone explain this to me. How come "bit" and "ate" is a match, but "bit" and "swallowed" is not? You can certainly bite something without swallowing it, but try eating something without swallowing it! Ira screwed up, and they owe Oliver another match.

[@steveyounker7897]

As it turns out, he would have lost anyway, because of that terrible "meatball" question. What were the writers after there? Anyway, I'm glad Oliver won so much money, $16,000 dollars was a fortune in 1975. Pay those bills off, put the down payment of the house, and still have some left over!
