Match Game 75 (Episode 530) (Richard: You Lay Out?)

[@ajmittendorf]

When I was in grade 6, I had a crush on a girl named Tomi Jo. Until now, she was the only female "Tomi" I've ever heard of. I remember being so glad when she and I had to sit next to each other in class. My name is A. J., and our teacher, Mr. Hanson, dubbed us "T. J. and A. J." Thanks for helping me remember that, Match Game people!! Of course, it also helps that I spent much of my childhood in Fargo, North Dakota.

Thanx to whoever puts these shows together on line they really make me laugh

[@beckydutra6543]

Joyce's top or dress is nice. The colors are wonderful.

[@arthuridis]

I'd ask her out back then. Her and Elaine were charming in their individual ways.

[@wmkyle1]

I also noticed how Barbara's color coded outfit also matched Gene's suit

[@sergtchannel]

Charles's way of letting you know he has the super match answer is when he goes into a story and then reveals he matched the contestant. But if he doesnt, he just reveals his answer. Wonder if any contestant picked that up!

[@shivasirons6159]

In poker its called a slowroll, its bad ettiquit to make people think they won when they lost, Charles was class act.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

9:47 is why I love Charles so much!

[@donna2676]

I laughed out loud and replayed it, so funny.

[@Lanaris99]

And this section is also why I enjoyed Brett on the show. As long as a joke was funny, even if she was the 'butt' of it, she laughed.

Love ❤️ match game especially growing up as a kid used to watch with my mom and dad week day's at 3p.m. on the CBS television network.

End-of-week H/H match recap: ... This week we had 6 H/H matches total (they squeezed two in on Wednesday), 5 of which were successful: Richard 2/3, Orson 1/1, Brett 1/1, Charles 1/1 This is the first week in a long time that someone other than the three regulars was called on, and the third week in recent memory that each of the regulars got a shot at playing the head-to-head match. It's incredibly rare for four different celebs to play in the same week. The only thing that could have made the week sweeter would have been to see Joyce have another shot - with her track record, she would seem to be a valid choice. *Well, today Charles scores his 19th H/H match!* This moves him ahead of Betty White on the accuracy leader board (but she'll be back next week and might get a chance to regain her spot)! CNR also slips back ahead of Brett in total number of successful H/H matches, although his 19 doesn't begin to compare with Richard's 110. (It's interesting to note that even though Richard is nowhere near the top of the accuracy list, he remains the far-and-away contestant favorite to play the head-to-head match, this week's choices notwithstanding...) Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 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). Charles - 48.7% (19 wins in 39 attempts). Betty - 48.4% (15 wins in 31 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 39.1% (18 wins in 46 attempts). Richard - 38.3% (110 wins in 287 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 530, 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!")

[@crissrudd4554]

Classic Dawson. ‘Can I play??’ And the classic ‘Six Kids’ moment! Great episode!!

[@billlevins7460]

Joyce Bulifant looked extra pretty in that top she was wearing.

[@SteveHolsten]

She's fine in about anything she wears. Funny thing is; when I watched this at 15 yrs old in 1975 I thought she was very old. Now at almost 59, I see just how fine she was back then!

[@001111bc]

@@SteveHolsten I was 17. Similar thing with me but only with Elaine Joyce. I don't even remember noticing her back then. But you see her on these reruns and she was gorgeous.

Me too. 😅

[@SuperC888]

Barbara Bibi reminds me of Tammy Faye Baker. Anyone else think so?

[@ts.elliot5870]

Joyce is having a tough day. Her odd ball answers rarely match. Im not sure the dumb blonde is an act. Love Charles!

[@lifewithemilysyndromelivin9956]

Great episode

[@randilevson9547]

A great thing about MG, is that pretty much all of the celebrities had good senses of humour, and could laugh at themselves. They laughed when being picked on by each other, and never seemed to get offended. They could even poke fun at themselves. The only exception I have noticed is that Betty White was not amused when someone on the panel made fun of her beloved husband, Allen Ludden. Brett Somers was particularly savage at doing that. Perhaps Brett was jealous of Betty, because she had a loving and happy marriage. Brett's marriage to Jack Klugman was headed down the old *blank*.

[@beckydutra6543]

I would love to hug Charles! ❤❤

[@krkf8]

Liked Charles' answer to the Titanic question :D

[@grigorb.5221]

Thanks

His "Chuck" persona is funny.

He was a favorite of mine since I was a kid.

17:03. I'm curious to see what's under the 250 dollar response. " Slide it Earl ".

True.

[@97Senator]

What were some notable Head-to-Head Super Matches where the contestant's answer was not exact (but close) and counted wrong? (thinking about doing a compilation)

[@crissrudd4554]

I don’t remember the episode number but I’m pretty sure it was a ‘76 Episode. The question was Wash____. Contestant said Rag, Richard Dawson said cloth. Episode 1241 had Weather____. Contestant: Report, Dawson: Forecast.

Omg, Sugar Plum Fairy!🤣😂🤣 I love Charles.

It was a different world then. There are ashtrays next to each of celebrities name plates. I've never seen an ashtray on the contestants table.

Charles without his glasses for a few seconds, reacting to having to smell Brett's sandal that she held up. He looked very handsome without those oversize eyeglasses. Oh, well.

Two straight days without Richard being called on at all during the "Super Match"...

[@Imnotyourmamaluke]

I bet he was seething. Don't get me wrong, I like Richard, but he is blatantly wrong sometimes with the super match questions. It makes me believe he holds a grudge.

[@kristabrewer6736]

I see they're running out of questions to ask. That first question about the titanic was word for word EXACTLY the same as they had on a previous episode!

[@Lanaris99]

They recycled questions a lot over the course of the show. I don't think this was the first time. It definitely wasn't the last.

[@HaleTheTrev]

Huh? How many kids?

They were so obsessed with homosexuality back then. Every other comment is homophobic! I still love them and I lived through that period. It wasn't that bad but it sure wasn't comfortable.

Brett gave away 2,750 dollars in a head to head and audience match match with 12 matches as well. Orson gave away 1,000 dollars in audience match matches with 9 matches. Charles gave away 1,000 dollars in a head to head match. Joyce gave away 100 dollars in an audience match match.
