Match Game 76 (Episode 751) (Family Feud Announcement!) (GOLD STAR)

This episode has a lot of great things in it. Fannie has the funniest spelling for Connecticut today during the opening of Match Game 76. Gene also welcomes Bennye Getteys to the panel.
During the Super Match, Gene announces a special congratulations to Richard Dawson for getting his own show, Family Feud. Family Feud wouldn't be announced much on Match Game anymore for the CBS Version.
Bill Daily, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Benneye Getteys, Richard Dawson, and Fannie Flagg

[@ledzep310]

Gotta give credit to Richard Dawson - he was slick. Game Show King of that era - MG was #1 while he was on it - then he went to Family Feud - soon thereafter FF went to #1.

[@mercyprosperity9732]

fabulous show. Rest well Charles, Brett, Richard, and of course the incredible Gene Rayburn

[@denrr1451]

I Love this show....I watch every morning I'm off on Buzzr channel...I watch the reruns over and over.. I Love all that appeared on here... I be cracking up...They are Awesome!!!!! Love Love Love!!!!! Gene was the man.... RIP all that has passed away...Amen!!

[@jamesr1703]

Fanny was actually later diagnosed with dyslexia by a viewer at home. She wrote in and told the producers. Dyslexia was still not very well understood back then. Fanny Flagg was a very intelligent woman.

[@miraclay]

She wrote Fried Green Tomatoes, novel and screenplay.

How? What did the viewer see?

At 15:22 Gene casually announces that Richard Dawson will be hosting a new game show called 'Family Feud". Gee, I wonder if anything ever came of it!

I don't know where that hamburger stand gets its meat from but I was just in the back and I saw a mortician making a delivery

A mortician that's a good one. Lol

[@holbriland6584]

Bless that sweet Fannie. I love her dyslexia driven spelling woes, they're adorable! LOVE her!

[@MrT8599]

Brittle I wonder if there were any misspellings in "Fried Green Tomatoes."

[@Swampzoid]

Not after the proof readers corrected all the misspellings.

[@caseyyarnold2959]

I love her, too, she's so much fun.

[@poetcomic1]

She did not KNOW it. Back then it was kind of new. A dr. who watched her own MG and noticed the patterns of her mistakes figured out she had a very particular form of dyslexia and she was able to get a LOT of help later on

[@branagain]

She’s an Oscar nominated writer so I’d say she knows something about writing.

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

yay for spirit of 76!

[@inkyguy]

… and now for a Bicentennial Minute.

[@mocub33]

I think Fannie's spelling of Connecticut even threw Johnny off.

[@SquirrleyShirley]

Is Fannie Flagg still alive? Betty White has out lived all of them!

[@ericsamuelson5656]

Fannie is still around and she looks the same today as she did 40+ years ago

[@buyvital]

That's exactly what l thought.

[@hankkingsley2976]

Only time I ever heard Johnny Olson screw up I love doing my Johnny Olson imitation. You have to do a high-pitch yell. I think that's where Eugene Levy got his Lou Jaffe from sounds just like Johnny Olson I'm Lou Jaffe

[@monkee5th]

Fannie is a brilliant writer

[@nuwavedave]

When a person is overly-nervous and hyper before an audience, the Truth often comes out. "He's the best husband in the world . . . except when he gets mad at me". Richard seems to notice, and in the next episode he asks, "Is your husband still beating you?". Poor girl.

[@inkyguy]

That’s a famously quintessential leading question. Answering either way indicts the husband for wife beating. Often the scenario is one in which the man is queried: “Tell me, sir, yes or no, do you still beat your wife?” It is impossible for the defendant to answer without incriminating himself.

[@yumerchASMR]

It begins.

[@Micter]

Fannie shows conneinet Johnny: the fu- is that AS WE PLAY THE STAR STUDDED BIG MONEY MATCH GAME!

[@daverice2426]

I love that Gene can do 30 seconds of Dizzy Dean just like that

[@crissrudd4554]

I remember this week. Gene makes a special announcement in regards to a certain panelist. ;)

[@antster1983]

That was rather nice of him. And then it was rarely mentioned again outside of the syndicated night time episodes, though it was vaguely mentioned on the first episode with the new set, recorded shortly after Richard Dawson hosted the Daytime Emmy Awards, and won the Emmy for Outstanding Host or Hostess in a Game or Audience Participation Show.

[@crissrudd4554]

Gene did on a few occasions ask Richard how Family Feud was going. Keep in mind Feud was on another network so perhaps they didn't wanna plug it too much. That's why Johnny Olson usually only said 'From Family Feud, Richard Dawson' during the syndicated nighttime episodes. However on the New Year's Eve episode of MG76 Mark Goodson came out to thank everyone and did mention Family Feud when thanking Richard. :)

[@amontgomery19]

That one was just on today on Buzzer TV. , the contestant was the old guy Bill Stevens.

Everything except the fashions, hair and color schemes. As you can see, the 70s are what attempted to make brown, orange and turquoise match and dress people in plaid Safari pant suits.

[@AstralPixie]

"He was a great pitcher in football" ;)

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Well, it is true that the British call the football (soccer) field, "the pitch". So a football pitch would be a thing in Mother England.

[@inkyguy]

A football player can be a great pitcher, but it has nothing to do with football … or baseball. And, unfortunately, I only know this by hearsay, not from personal experience, having played neither nor been with anyone who has - so far as I know. 😉

[@paulgrimaldi1751]

Always wondered how they taped Carol Burnett and so many game shows in this one studio. Price. match game, Now You See It, etc.

[@jeprice08]

Yes, the cute and lovable Bennye Gatteys!

[@sheristewart3940]

TY I heard Johnny say here name, but I thought it was Betty.

[@jimmyz2098]

She was in an episode of Tales From Wells Fargo. Season 6 I think. She was absolutely STUNNING in that one. Hard to find things with her, or about her, really. She was a beautiful Woman.

[@patford8488]

I often get confused by the first round questions. “Wedding gown” was the only obvious answer. That should be a Round 2 question.

[@wmkyle1]

[@Eddie42023]

Was it Michael Landon who was on one week early in the run and said something to the effect that the show wouldn't amount to much?

[@sdlively27]

First week of the show and his last appearance on the show, episode 1 - 5. I not sure about the show wouldn't amount to much but he seemed to think the show wasn't fair if I am remember correctly.. ;0) Granted the first couple of weeks are so there wasn't much comedy and the audience wasn't reacting to much either.. ;0)

[@inkyguy]

@@sdlively27, the producers Goodson and Todman were attempting a “straight” game show with none of the banter and joking _à la Hollywood Squares._ However, according to IMDb, the “boobs” answer by a guest in one of the early episodes caused the ratings to soar, and the producers wisely chose not to get in the way of their (and the network’s) success. Which should be obvious. As Gene Rayburn himself commented a few episodes back, “this is no great intellectual show.” Its success lies in it being a televised adaptation of an dinner party parlor game with bright, witty and funny guests who literally entertain us for 30 minutes (with commercials, which is what all of the shows exist for). This is literally what people with means did before television for entertainment, but most of us don’t get to host these kinds of witty, entertaining folks for dinner and drinks and an evening of parlor games.

[@louistenore2185]

i guess since its from the same production company cbs did not object to the annocement

[@scottlareva9820]

How did Richard do Match Game and Family Feud at the same time?

[@LynxSouth]

They were taped on different days.

[@inkyguy]

Yes, they overlapped for a while. _Family Feud_ ultimately replaced _Match Game._

Can U image this show going to Cable with the choice of answers not being restricted.

[@Lava1964]

What made the show interesting was there were certain things you could not say on TV in the 1970s. The panelists had to be creative back then. When you can say anything dirty, it takes the charm away from the show.

Since when is ball gown the same as a wedding dress? By the way that new game show of Dawsons will never fly.

Well maybe because Charles said ball gown but his card said big letters dress (ball gown) at the bottom. And well they matched other panelist answers of just dress.. Same thing Charles used with diving school with school boxed in.

"Woman" was definitely the definitive answer. The Italian accent from Gene doomed my fellow North Carolinian.

[@km-zu6qm]

@R Well to be fair, how often has "boobs" been creative or funny? I would say when in doubt make the response sexual and you can't lose. Unless the name "Cleopatra" is included anywhere.. then it has to be "asp"
