Match Game PM (Episode 17) (Admiral TV) (MEGA GOLD STAR EPISODE)

[@RockyMtnRebecca]

Betty's "Best Man" answer made me howl - I love her so much. And is she not just drop-dead gorgeous too!

[@jjryan1352]

Only if you like the elderly mother look.

[@qualqui]

@@jjryan1352 Obviously you haven't seen her in her younger years.

[@kevansf]

I thought her answer was the best one given. Since the question said the new bride got a "big surprise," I answered "boyfriend" which kinda sorta matched Betty.

[@jamestalley2838]

We will never see cool people like this again.

The Invisible Man & When Things Were Rotten. Two long-forgotten short-lived shows...AND I'VE GOT 'EM BOTH ON DVD.

[@Davidraisedsimmentalcows.]

Really a Fun Game Show !! Gene Rayburn outstanding host and the stars were excellent and such characters of laughter!

[@UberLummox]

Before Earl slid the answers I was thinking Richard was brilliant as always saying Admiral tv. He's always trying to think outside the box!

[@stevenzwolinski3047]

Literally the good old days ❤

[@karenmallonee3867]

OMGOSH, how much fun was that? Loved it...love Richard!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@genkatqltr737]

Loved this episode! All the shenanigans around "Admiral TV" was the icing on the cake! Thanks for posting. : )

Loved the admiral TV part! Great going, Earl!!!

[@billbill5326]

Such a fun episode. Thanks!!

[@PlumCrazyShaker]

The new match game can’t compare to the old one!

[@AzureC2]

Ditto,. the answers on that show are disgusting.

[@evalu3260]

I agree with you.

10:20 Betty's Fanny Flagg impression was on point!

[@crissrudd4554]

Thank you for the upload. This was always a funny one. You could almost call it a part 2 to Burns and Cuts. Classic Dawson! :)

[@kristabrewer6736]

no clue why this was a gold star episode And YAAAAAAAY Brett!!

[@Observer-jw8wv]

The exchanges beginning at 14:06 are hilarious. I loved how Gene played along with Richard's blow dart. It's too bad he said he thought Byrd was the winning answer, but awesome that he was (OF COURSE, AS USUAL!) correct.

[@Norfolk250]

[@janeporter818]

I love Richard!! He is hilarious!!!😂❤

[@janeporter818]

Thanks for posting!!!❤❤❤❤

[@beatlequeen06]

Legendary hilarity from Richard! He's such a scream in this one!

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

I really love how Gene has worked Earl into the show too. This show was a true one-of-a-kind. I ❤ Match Game!

[@beatlequeen06]

This was the funniest bit with Earl by far. It would have been better if Gene had dragged Earl from his little room in there after telling him he was fired.

[@woffandaniel]

"EARL! YOU'RE FIRED! GET YOUR HAMMER AND YOUR SAW AND YOUR NAILS, AND GET OUTTA HERE, EARL!!!" LOL I'm sure Earl wasn't really fired, Gene was just joking around with him, as usual! LOL

[@kristabrewer6736]

NO KIDDING!

[@rhyancoleman6462]

Earl, God bless you my boy!

[@RealPhilGames]

The funniest Super Match EVER!

[@jools01]

This episode is probably the funniest out of them all. From the moment i heard the betty & allen question and it wasn’t insensitive -like they sometimes can be- i knew it would be a good ep. Betty’s Best man answer and the admiral tv situation made me howl 😂

[@40bpaula]

Oh Lord, this ep was tooo funny. I hurt myself laughing at these nuts. Love Richard and Gene how they play off each other. Phew. My jaws hurt.

[@Jerzeyscott]

Did anyone catch that Betty said Mother could be a dog - as in Bitch! LOL

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Dick Gautier looks strange with that 70s Leif Garrett hair. It's also funny to think that in England they probably would have matched "pants" and "underwear". XD

[@briandeichler9078]

Charles is the best.

[@frederickvonfinkelstein8729]

Brett's reaction at 19:43 is one of the funniest spontaneous moments in Match Game history! Absolutely hysterical! She obviously didn't think she was going to get picked and wasn't looking forward to the pressure. I bet I've watched this tiny moment like 50 times. Her subsequent stutter on "Nnoo-yes!" is equally funny!

[@DavidNelsonM]

Love you picked that up. I love it

H/H match update: (Spoilers) ~~~~~ Here are the H/H stats for the PM series so far: Star: Matches/Attempts/Match % Brett: 2/2/100% Charles: 1/1/100% Richard: 7/12/58.3% Betty: 0/1/0% *Includes the results of all head-to-head matches in the "Match Game PM" series from episode 1 through episode 17 (note: there was no H/H match in episode 11 due to a double audience match fail). For comparison, here are the stats for the complete "Match Game 7x" series (including only the stars who scored at least 3 matches): Star: Matches/Attempts/Match % Orson Bean: 4/4/100% Jo Anne Worley: 3/4/75% Debralee Scott: 4/6/66.7% Gary Burghoff: 8/14/57.1% Joyce Bulifant: 4/7/57.1% Charles: 48/94/51.1% Elaine Joyce: 3/6/50.0% Betty: 25/53/47.2% Fannie: 21/45/46.7% Jo Ann Pflug: 8/18/44.4% Bill Daily: 4/9/44.4% Marcia Wallace: 3/7/42.9% Richard: 373/878/42.5% Brett: 45/110/40.9% Bert Convy: 5/15/33.3% Nipsey Russell: 3/12/25.0% *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1455, 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. (For missing episode 1406, the results of the second H/H have been revealed and are included in these stats, but it's unknown which celeb played the first H/H, which was not a match.)

[@gladfan1989]

16:16 - Let the cracking up begin.

[@earlofopsis1307]

Brett matches the contestant to win her the money and then she spends the end of the episode sitting in Richard Dawson's lap. Hmm.

[@tvpmark]

We have an attorney vs a part-time worker, and the latter made a comeback. I enjoyed the Super Match.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

"We got the idea Brett!!"

[@Virginia-zw8us]

Wow, Richard Dawson is smoking!! In a building, talk about back in the day. I saw that smoke wafting over to Betty, before she revealed ' undies'.

[@reillyhoy2473]

He was usually pretty careful about not smoking on camera. But he always had one lit! Same with Brett. Scoey really was the only panelist who smoked on camera

[@mikeleone1347]

Reilly Hoy Charles smoked his pipe a lot on camera.

[@reillyhoy2473]

@@mikeleone1347 yes I guess I meant cigarettes.

[@MajorSeventh]

I wonder if the contestant had gone with "Color TV" if Ira would've given it to her for "TV". If not there would've been another riot.

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Likely, exact match isn't necessary at that level.

[@kevansf]

Oh yes, they would've matched. They've always been pretty liberal at matching in the audience match questions.

[@tomsaaristo6294]

"Where does it say Brett has lines?" 😅

[@kevansf]

Yes, Betty got a good one in there! Gene had a good line too: "At least." (During the head-to-head when Brett said she was 39.)

What about Admiral Nelson?🧐

[@CinemaDemocratica]

Lost in the whole Admiral debacle, this contestant is *very* strange. Isn't she? Her mannerisms and facial expressions and everything all seem ... just really interestingly off, somehow.

[@jimwilloughby]

some times I wonder about the audience match. There are time I think Earl is in his cubby hole furiously putting the matches together while Gene ans the panel stalls for time.

[@40bpaula]

Me too. Cause sometimes it's just too pat.

[@pencils812]

I have felt like the panel was told in advance what would be up there. Most of the time, all three of the words are "guessed" by the panel. Sometimes the words are obscure or unexpected. It just seems pre-arranged.

She gets picked a good amount. She was also chosen in PM episode 7. Also matched that one too.

[@Vanilla0729]

So, the questions about Betty White's husband answering the phone and getting "Heavy Breathing"... Is there a reference about Betty's Mother I'm missing? Why did so many give that answer?

[@CousinOresama]

Don't know about that, but my answer was Gene Rayburn.

[@jjryan1352]

It was odd. I thought "for you" was the obvious choice.

[@Gator11srq]

Lost in this was a just-as-funny Dick Gautier, though not on a par w/ Richard Dawson Would you believe he had a role on "Get Smart" with Don Adams & Barbara Feldon?
