I like watching these in order but sometimes I like to watch ones with interesting ones out of order.

H/H match update for episode 1334: ... ~~~Today's action: After just a single victory, our champion is defeated, but she scored a H/H match with Chuck yesterday for $5,000, giving her a prize money total of $5,600. *Today's (first) audience match question: "He's Got________"* (My thoughts: The Whole World In His Hands, High Hopes, It All) - This one was hard for me. I kept thinking of more modern expressions: He's got mail, he's got game, he's got it goin' on... The celebs: Charles (What it Takes), Brett (It), Joyce via several cards from the upper tier and after much deliberation (Rhythm), also Joyce looked at a card and noted it was religious, so I suspect that answer was the one I'd thought of: "The Whole World In His Hands." Finally, Elaine tossed out "Dandruff." The choice: What it Takes (The audience doesn't seem to like that answer, but they're hardly unanimous in coming up with an alternative when Gene queries them.) The answers: The Whole World In His Hands (ha!), Class, Rhythm - Kudos for Joyce (and the top tier) for coming up with top answer in third position! And to quote a famous MG panelist: "Good gravy, Marie!" Another Audience Match fail! That's the third time this week! So many celebs I'd love to see playing a H/H and we're losing so many opportunities this week! So far we've seen ONE H/H this week, and this is the fourth show! But after a quick game (no second question needed for our champ), he gets a second shot at the Super-Match. *Today's (second) audience match question: "In Cold________"* (My thoughts: Blood, Hard Cash, Storage) The celebs: Charles (Blood), Brett (Storage), Joyce via the panel (Weather) The choice: Blood. (I'll go out on a limb here and predict he got the top answer.) The answers: Weather, Water, Blood Thank goodness! We'll start tomorrow's show with a H/H, and if we're very, very lucky, we may get two tomorrow! ~~~Here's our standing leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she or he has "retired" from the show and their H/H stats are now complete.) (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 matches in 4 attempts). Joyce Bulifant - 80.0% (4 matches in 5 attempts). (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 62.5% (5 matches in 8 attempts). Charles - 50.6% (41 matches in 81 attempts). Betty - 46.9% (23 matches in 49 attempts). Fannie - 46.2% (18 matches in 39 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). Brett - 44.3% (39 matches in 88 attempts). (*)Richard - 42.5% (373 matches in 878 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 matches in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1334, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. (Note: episode 849 was never produced.) These stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969. There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036. These stats do, however, include results of episodes 1309 through 1317, found on channels other than this one.

Since it was Japanese, I would have said, "In Godzilla we trust." Also, Raymond Burr was in the first Godzilla movie in 1956.

[@johnsmith-zh1bt]

technically he was in the version meant for the us market for the us market the distributors added some scenes with a journalist narrator which was burr to make it more american the original japanese version did not have this

[@shelbygates2958]

My mother and i watch this every single day

[@warp9p659]

I don't remember ever seeing Raymond Burr on Match Game.

[@eddieg749]

The only week he was on it

[@chrischeshire6528]

Joyce was in a Perry Mason episode and he was there promoting his movie.

[@XXthekingofyouXX]

Elaine and Joyce were really having fun playing off each other...with a very patient Raymond Burr between them.

[@arthuridis]

Back in 1978. I wouldn't mind having both of those adorable dolls playing off me. 🙂😉😍

[@ricobhi]

Brett was right!

[@brendastevens8325]

OMGOSH Raymond Burr so awesome but very serious! Among the dingalings

[@lisab7977]

Is Raymond Burr a giant, or is Joyce Bulifant really teeny?? Lol

[@nancyhowell4505]

@lisab7977 Both are true. 😳

[@DanknDerpyGamer]

18:05 Knowing the story about how Raymond Burr once put a baby alligator in Barbara Hale's courtroom table drawer during the production of Perry Mason made his answer even funnier, IMO.

[@kristabrewer6736]

oh yeah, that would REAL funny 🙄🙄 (Grow Up)!

[@donaldleroy6502]

That wet cement question was tougher than tough Tony

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

I would have said "swims in" was the definitive answer. And I would have lost too thanks to that panel split. :P

[@kevansf]

It was much tougher than a typical second-round question should be. My thought was "drinks" wet cement, but in hindsight, I agree that swims was the definitive answer.

[@BlinkFM]

Just me or does anyone else's radar go off with Greg..... Just curious.

[@bob494949]

It’s pretty bad when David Doyle is the straightest man on stage, ROFL

[@ts.elliot5870]

​@@bob494949depends on how you look at it. I think he's kinda cute.

[@kevansf]

Yeah, I had that thought when he had his intro chat with Gene yesterday. The way he said he was single made me wonder. Maybe it's the mustache though?

[@jeffclement2979]

Elaine Joyce ♡ prefer the layered hair from earlier tho

[@kathyodom5372]

The cuckoo clock question reminds me of Dead Parrot skit from Monty Python.

[@Doug41160]

9:17 "you men take those trenches...."

[@irishmermaid4]

Burr is the library; Joyce & Bulifant, tiny blonde bookends.

[@susanwells8339]

ELAINE WAS IN ONE OF PERRY MASONS EPISODES

[@sdlively27]

ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) Way to alienate the home audience there Brett! ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0)

[@susanwells8339]

Elaine was on one of prry mason episodes

[@marianfeldman4008]

So was Joyce bulifant

[@TeslaVee]

That's Hulk Hogan's wife.

[@susanbezio6708]

Ex wife, although they had not met yet.

[@ottojones3162]

Is it me, or was Brett and Gene exceptionally irritating in this episode?

[@deborahnorriscollins4146]

To me they are always irritating.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Thanks ruining for us again (you haven't done that in a while) Guess there's no point in watching this one till he goes for the big money :(

In Buddha we trust

[@kristabrewer6736]

🥵(I hope that was a joke)!

[@kristabrewer6736]

OK, I just watched it (it was still awful)!

[@richardwhite5633]

Now a days the celebrity panel is nothing but stupid, and Gene does not know is job as host and needs to learn or someone as a contestant will bring up a law suite against the station and Gene Rayburn

[@susanwells8339]

I MEANT JOYCE WAS

[@qualqui]

Linda's so SMOKING HOT! 🥰

[@justrelax1539]

didn't Linda win Miss International in 1982?

[@dewalt4594]

I love when Richard Dawson isn't on the show

[@CousinOresama]

There's no accounting for taste. Richard made the show. When he left the ratings for MG started tanking and Richard took FF to the top.

[@dewalt4594]

@@CousinOresama Watch a couple different documentaries on him . No body liked him . He was a grumpy pervert. When they finally cancelled family feud and thought about bringing it back, every single person that worked the show said they would quit if they brought him back . That is why they started getting other host. Also you will see in the documentaries the only reason that family feud survived and did so well was the time slot that they were in compared to others. It was not because of Richard Dawson. If they ended up having a bad time slot it doesn't matter if Richard Dawson was on the show or not it would have still got low ratings but because they had a good spot and time of day that they were on is what made the show do so well. You are entitled to your opinion of course but if you want to know facts so that you can speak about it educatedly then watch a few of the documentaries.

[@CousinOresama]

@@dewalt4594 Without any sources, your soliloquy means nothing. MG dived after Richard left and FF leapt to the top. Even you admitted that, with some caveats. Call it timing if you want, but MG went down and FF went up. Richard was the only factor. He made the show. MG could have gone on forever with Richard, Charles, Betty, and Fannie. But they didn't treat him as he deserved and kept that old hag Brett. MG could have lasted a lot longer with Richard. They went with the old hag instead. And s hateful hag at that. She cheered when contestants lost, as long as they lost to Richard. What a hateful old hag. Don't believe me? Watch "Behind the Blanks." Yes, I actually give references. Brett was absolutely hateful. Richard always advocated for contestants. So much better than Brett.

@@mary-annemueller9885 I thought your mom was only in my dreams until she showed up one night at my house. Now she wants to come over all the time .

[@dewalt4594]

@@mary-annemueller9885 Why is there so many people like you on KZbin that just has to be nasty in their comments ? What do you honestly get out of it? I have been in so many game show trivia games at schools , bars , a few restaurants even , twice at our state fair . I have watched , studied , listened to , game show facts and documentaries for over ten years now. I probably know more about most of these game shows than the people that have been on them. So with that being said , you are completely wrong about Richard Dawson !! During the match game they were wanting to get rid of him because so many people were complaining including the other guests. The producers thought because of him being popular on the match show , they would offer him the family feud that really wasn't expecting to last very long in the rating back then. So it was like killing two birds with one stone is the exact words that was used in the documentary. Once his contract was up , people that worked on the show said that they would no longer work there if they renewed his contract. There was even people on the Hogan's hero show that said they couldn't stand working on the same set as him!!! Why am I even taking this much time explaining any of this to you ?? Anyway Mary , believe what you want . You have know idea of what your talking about
