Match Game 79 (Episode 1444) (UNAIRED ON CBS) (Carolyn Raisner Wins First Game) (The Village BLANK)

Fred Grandy, Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly, Connie Stevens, Bill Cullen, and Marcia Wallace

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Charles is SO GREAT! I'm sure he'd been pushed around plenty by macho men in his life and he knew exactly how they behaved. He's SO hilarious!

[@cinemaholic730]

I love how at least 1 male contestant I can think of when he picked Charles for a super match called him "Chuck" his macho alter ego which I thought was pretty cool.

[@kristabrewer6736]

And annoying!

[@donaldleroy6502]

Given the fact that this was 79 I thought the village people woulda been on top. Also thanks for posting this"new" episode

[@beckydutra6543]

I like Fred Grandy on here, he's funny and adorable. But Charles remains my favorite. ❤

[@sassatlast9226]

I like him but he really blew it the last episode with a really stupid answer and lost it for the contestant!

[@cinemaholic730]

I like Fred's Yellow shirt in this episode.

[@Madness832]

Wow, considering the year of filming, I'm quite surprised that "People" wasn't the top Supermatch answer!

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I was too except that I also remember 1979 was the "disco sucks" era.

[@CousinOresama]

Probably surveyed an older audience.

[@kwdmiller3]

Question: Do you know why women hardly ever have water on the knee? Answer: Because women wear pumps.

[@earlegavin5931]

Richard Dawson said that in match game 74 or 75

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I'm horrified that Kojak/Savallas didn't get one match!!

[@kristabrewer6736]

I bet you were! 🙄

[@corrinewadino8771]

I’m sure the Charles knew how to defend himself! Because he is pretty tough

[@berniehobabykat]

Pip popping is apparently very popular on KZbin

[@rangerdave1973]

never got the name of the parachutist. wanted to see what she is up to

[@edwardlozano8807]

viciousness I understood, but "attackism", Charles?

[@hankkingsley2976]

40 years ahead of his time.

[@robertlehman1337]

I wonder if some of the CBS stations did air the syndicated Match Game did the same thing what the flag ship station WCBS did air those in aired Match Game 79 episodes because I remember my local CBS affiliate WSAW TV in Wausau aired match game I remember watching it in the summer of 1979 and in Friday nights at 6:30 They aired Match Game PM. According to Wikipedia many CBS stations preempt Love of Life to air syndicated Match Game at 4 pm EST 3 pm central time

[@jamesbonnen]

They probably didn't air this episode because CBS hurried it off the air to debut WHEW!

[@corrinewadino8771]

Gladys Knight and the pips, the pips are her brothers

[@kermelurquhart2678]

You got too love Charles

[@michaelnovrocki6567]

I wonder if the contestants on these unaired episodes actually received their winnings? I was always under the impression that an episode had to air for the contestants on that episode to actually receive their winnings.

[@elaineharper7315]

I wonder if it was censored because the contestant said she was a Christian and that could offend some watchers.

[@georgemaster9979]

Generally you would have to wait a year to receive your winnings.

[@kristabrewer6736]

@@elaineharper7315 ummm, ok (there's been Christians on the show before.... and weren't afraid to admit it)

[@phaedrabacker2004]

CNR!

[@dirtroadfarmsjimmideanreen2458]

She was a contestant once before

[@billbright1755]

What’s that guy smoking?

[@nicoleknight9412]

200 leaps of faith by the Christian lady!

[@fmphotooffice5513]

They do look a little bored and trying to hide it. They had a good run, a great run...+1400 shows!

[@kevins.butler3402]

I wouldn't be surprised..if Poor Gene Rayburn..got angry when the show quickly and without any notice got cancelled for that stupid nonsense that Mr.Tom Kennedy hosted"Whew"..which I've seen on CBS TV and it was a damn disgrace.

[@sdlively27]

Noo, they knew the end was near and had already started making plans for MGSynd, finding markets that wanted to buy and air it. They knew they had been on the bubble, every 13 week renew for another 13 weeks I thank, far too many times that it was just a matter of time before CBS pulled them.

[@manofmanyinterests]

@@sdlively27 I agree. MG on CBS ran its course, but had plenty of life left in first run syndication. Whew! was great!!

[@davemurphy9695]

I rather enjoyed “Whew!”.

[@hankkingsley2976]

No pc just fun.

[@kylito23]

Squeaks the pips

[@paullarue2010]

CBS game show.

[@randydellinger2996]

Again, Gene can’t keep his hands to himself.

[@janethartwig774]

Amazed to see Charles smoking on set and a cigar at that. 🤮

[@CousinOresama]

I don't know that there was a show when he wasn't smoking something. He did the whole range, cigarettes, pipes, cigars.

[@kristabrewer6736]

You ARE joking?!
