Match Game 76 (Episode 759) (Western _________ )

[@bradoneil536]

Say what you will about Gary Burghoff’s overall record on the show, but “I wore her … OUT” is an all-time great answer.

[@UberLummox]

I'm with ya on that. Or as Brett would say; "You can swing that in ragtime, sweetheart." 😃

[@tomten5782]

Better than today's TV shows

[@reeselibcke202]

I love this show! Half hour of a laugh fest. Thanks guys!

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

"Lincoln Portrait. It's not gonna be up there but at least I got the plug in." has to be the best answer Charles has ever given.

[@tomwills3801]

I thought of Lincoln logs right away, not even mentioned by anyone..

[@johnsudar5567]

can't believe nobody said hood ornament for the Tom Thumb answer, they were very popular at the time

On this date in 1975 God’s Favorite starring Charles Nelson Reilly as Sidney Lipton closed.

H/H match update: ... Today's action: Our reigning champion just needs one single picnic basket to win a second game... and Brett supplied it (although Charles, Sarah, and Richard had spare ones waiting, just in case). Today's audience match question: "Lincoln _________" (My thoughts: Logs, Nebraska, Penny) The celebs: Richard (Memorial), Brett (Nebraska), and Charles (Portrait) -- By golly, Charles wasn't kidding! According to my friend Wikipedia, "Lincoln Portrait" is a classical orchestral work written by the American composer Aaron Copland. Match Game is so educational! The choice: Memorial The answers: Penny, Continental, Memorial That's twice now that she's gotten the top answer. I imagine that it'll also be twice that she selects Richard for the H/H... Richard it is. He's on a hot streak and has matched the last three times in a row. Today's H/H question: "Western _______ " (Oh, it's got to be Western Union!) Richard writes quickly, and it looks like he dotted an i, so maybe... The contestant is a bit undecided this time. She briefly hems and haws before saying "Airlines" which receives polite applause. I don't recall that carrier, but when I see the logo on Wikipedia, it does look vaguely familiar. They say it was a California-based airline that operated from 1927-1987. Richard said "Union." (It's easy for me since I'm not up on stage with the cameras rolling!) No match today. Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) 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). Charles - 51.0% (27 wins in 53 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50.0% (18 wins in 36 attempts). TIE: Fannie - 50.0% (11 wins in 22 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 41.9% (26 wins in 62 attempts). Richard - 41.5% (186 wins in 448 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 759, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, and 645. (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!")

Charles actually waved a contestant bye bye ! ! Lincoln Logs, invented in 1916 by John Lloyd Wright, second so of Frank the architect.

[@mrnmrsifl]

10:52 Sounds like this is around the time when Gene started the habit of rapping on the consolation gifts when the losers were leaving.

[@sdlively27]

Old Rayburn and Finch trick, if they ran out of stuff to talk about then would start to pick on them sponsors and then any records that they had.. Like MG when they ran out things to make fun or or talk about they would play the game.. ;0)

[@kaleidoscope222]

a chrome plated Tiny Tom Thumb is a THIMBLE!

[@sonamcue781]

Why the English captions when the show is in English. If it's done for the hearing impared they won't know what's going on because of all the errors, the captions make no sense .

Gary Burghoff looks like the love child of Charles Nelson Reilly and Burt Ward.

Melanie, WOW your a good looking gal ..Wonder how she's doing today🤔

[@RossMunro-mf6ez]

Yes I had a crush on her too.Somebody should do a show “where are they now” about all the contestants that were on this show.But they would all be in their 70’s or 80’s by now.

Melanie is one of the all-time hottest Match Game contestants. The 70's haircut, jump suit, and even her glasses make her seem not so spellbindingly hot, but she is. Wow! If Richard weren't so tired from Family Feud, he'd be all over her.
