Match Game 78 (Episode 1343) (Gene BLANKS Up!) (Bob Barker Show Starring Richard Dawson???)

"Stay Tuned for the Bob Barker Show Starring Richard Dawson!" Oh Charles you are something else!! LOL
Robert Pine, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Loni Anderson, Bob Barker, and Patti Deutsch

[@stevenbreiner9525]

I find it amazing to be watching a game show on my phone , that aired over 40 years ago. It looks so good, you'd think you were watching it for the first time. Technology is incredible.

[@jonroux9291]

Robin/Robyn was gorgeous :P

[@MatchGameProductions]

Charles was so funny on his mention of Richard Dawson. You could tell Gene wanted to rip Richard Dawson so badly. "You'll Be Sorry!"

[@sdlively27]

Ahh Charles you sure know better than to say that with Gene around, still too soon I am guessing.. Sorry for you Gene, hang in there..

[@epaddon]

Makes you wonder if hearing Richard's name was what made Gene screw up a few second later!

[@feudfan55]

Continued classy behavior by Gene and the gang. Funny how Richard never took any shots at any of them on Family Feud. He even spoke well of some of them on Family Feud years later. But here they continue to go after him.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Oh yeah, he was HILLAIOUS 🙄🙄WOW! ya gotta LOVE your guys' sense of humor Charles was MEAN on this one!!! How DARE he!!!! It's a shame because I like him, but he does anything like that again, he's lost ALL my respect!!! And no Gene, it WAS'T your fault, it was CHARLES'!!!

This is one of the funniest MG episodes I've seen in a while, and it's all thanks to Charles. I thought Charles's comment at 2:34 was hilarious, but then he absolutely killed me at 3:06! And then there's also 4:29, 6:35, and 8:47.

Robin , THE prettiest contestant by a country BLANK.

[@mickeydrago9401]

She was on at least three match games, as I'm watching the third now(BUZZR, TV channel) Over $11,000 for 1978 is pretty damn good. I wonder what happened to her At the circus laundry they don't have an iron so to do the press the what sits on your laundry, she said fat lady but the answer is elephant... She lasted for three shows, the most beautiful underweight game show contestant ever in human history

[@register1430]

She's probably found these clips by now so good to give her recognition. Robin chime in with an update. Yes, forget Loni - all that hair and makeup, way too much work . Robin , the epitomy of SoCal 70's beauty.@@mickeydrago9401

Farmer Brown was what I thought of. But I had no idea why I came up with it. Not even after doing a net search for same. I find that happens somewhat frequently for me - I think of an appropriate answer and not know quite why.

Gene should have apologized to Robin. I know he admitted fault, but he could have screwed over Robin in the process.

[@ajk]

I personally think they shoulda just replaced the regular A with a new one vs. switch them around. Not a fair situation IMO. It was just lucky she didn't lose over that.

[@kevansf]

H/H match update for episode 1343: ... ~~~Today's action: Sigh. It took less than a minute for Bob to get another TPIR plug in. (And then he does it again about 11 and a half minutes into the show.) But the highlight was CNR reading "Variety" and mentioning Richard Dawson, leaving Gene so discombobulated that he rereads the question but inserts an answer in place of the blank! Yikes! He hasn't done that for ages! Once the game finally gets going, Brett saves the champion by being the only panelist odd enough to think of the matching answer "camel" (everyone else said "hump/s"), and the game ends in a 1 to 1 tie. And the tie-breaker ends in a tie! 6 to 6! But the second tie-breaker brings defeat to our champion. She won two games and $1,200. *Today's audience match question: "Brooklyn________"* (My thoughts: Bridge, Dodgers, New York) The celebs: Brett (Dodgers), Robert (Bridge), Charles (New York) - I always pause the video to type my answers. The fact that my suggestions match the panel's is purely coincidental! The choice: Bridge (She mentions a thought she discarded: Brooklyn Heights. Not bad, actually.) The answers: Dodgers, New York, Bridge I thought Bridge was going to be on top. Now I imagine Patti is squirming as the contestant prepares to spin the wheel. (Patti was chosen the last two time, but didn't match either of them. I get the feeling she doesn't enjoy the pressure, although her answers have been fine.) A few seconds after the champ had run up to the panel to give Robert a kiss on the lips, she spins Robert's name! And it's a double! Stats: Robert Pine scored a ($10K) match with his first H/H question in 1341. *Today's H/H question: "Farmer_______"* (All I can think of is Farmer Brown.) Both the champion and the star seem to be pensive. Then the camera catches the champion with a sly smile, and it sure looks like she's decided. Meanwhile, Robert is soliciting advice from Brett, but Gene scolds her. (Why? Robert's the one trying to get a suggestion. It's not like she's butting in and trying to make him take her answer.) The champ is giggling. Robert is still pensive. Uh-oh. He's still looking over at Brett! It took a while, but Robert files his card. Our champion answers "John." The audience loves it. A solid 10 response. (It's a food brand name. Like Farmer John pork links and such. Now that I hear it, I remember it, but it never occurred to me.) Well, she came up with a good answer. Let's see what Robert decided on... Robert admits he got his answer from Brett: "John." (I predict another kiss is coming.) Robert Pine scores his second H/H match. ~~~Here's the updated list of all the celebs with *exactly 2 matches* (in alphabetical order): The list is growing! (No one has left the list for ages and ages, not since Joyce Bulifant "graduated" to the big leader board.) Each celebrity's total number of weeks on "Match Game '7x" along with his/her first and last appearance is indicated, and an asterisk before their name indicates they've "retired" from MG, and their H/H stats are now complete. (*)Charlie Brill 2 out of 3 attempts (66.7%) - (3 weeks total. First week: 281-285; Final week: 426-430) Bill Daily 2 out of 5 (50.0%) - (15 weeks total. First week: 101-105; Final week: 1451-1455) (*)Ann Elder 2 out of 3 (66.7%) - (10 weeks total. First week: 51-55; Final week: 491-495) (*)Bonnie Franklin 2 out of 4 (50%) (4 weeks total. First week: 636-640; Final week: 1266-1270) (*)Stu Gilliam 2 out of 5 (40%) - (2 weeks total. First week: 41-45; Final week: 51-55) Elaine Joyce 2 out of 4 (50.0%) - (26 weeks total. First week: 46-50; Final week: 1451-1455) (*)George Kennedy 2 out of 2 (100%) - (5 weeks total. First week: 666-670; Final week: 1166-1170) (*)Jack Klugman 2 out of 6 (33.3%) - (5 weeks total.

First week: 801-806; Final week: 1406-1410) (*)Trish Stewart 2 out of 2 (100%) - (5 weeks total. First week: 206-210; Final week: 996-1000) ~~~Finally, 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). (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Joyce Bulifant - 66.7% (4 matches in 6 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 55.6% (5 matches in 9 attempts). Charles - 51.2% (42 matches in 82 attempts). Betty - 46.9% (23 matches in 49 attempts). Fannie - 46.2% (18 matches in 39 attempts). Brett - 44.4% (40 matches in 90 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 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 1343, 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.
