Match Game PM (Episode 3) (Gene the "Handyman") (Taped 7/13/1975)

[@kevansf]

(around 14:35): "I'll have a bloody Mary." - I admit it, Richard cracked me up that time.

[@randilevson9547]

Screwdriver!! My drink of choice! Ha!!

[@genkatqltr737]

Wow! What a jackpot! Back then $11,000 would be a nice down payment on a house.

[@lindathompson7010]

In 1948 our brick 2 bedroom, livingroom, dining room and kitchen, cost $11,000 on 1/2 acre

[@jensullivan7380]

In 1977 we only needed $2,000 for a down payment on a three bedroom two bath house.

JOYCE Boulevant is still alive! She just wrote a book and she looks absolutely gorgeous! She is taking very good care of herself throughout these years

[@randilevson9547]

4 different husbands, I believe. The lady has some resilience. Glad to know that J.B. is still alive, as of four months ago.

[@rbrucewilliams2924]

These early PM episodes are quintessential Match Game with a freewheeling, playful style. Later (when they move to the 3 round format on PM) much of that repartee is edited out for time. I’ll bet the entire series run was stronger for the audience in the room ! What a find it would be if original tapes were unearthed before those trims . . .

[@Julie-sl8ul]

Wm. Shatner was sooooo handsome 😍

[@MarcoGerome]

I love CNR roasting Brett...

[@pencils812]

His glasses are almost as big as his whole head!

[@32rodrick]

It's MATCH GAME PM's Only Nighttime Episode with Two Female Contestants in the Game show 6 Year Run in Syndication

[@daviddriver2692]

Joyce is SOOOO Adorable!!

[@sassatlast9226]

Oh ugh! Her voice drives me nuts! She was useless as a panelist, rarely matches, and was nowhere near as funny as she thought she was!

[@annika_panicka]

9:19 🎵 _"We've only just ge-bun..."_

[@warp9p659]

Captain Kirk and his nemesis, Losira, in the same episode!

[@Janovus]

"I am for you Match Game."

[@sassatlast9226]

That contestant looked miserable! 😣 Kind of glad she didn't win!

[@sallykohorst8803]

Hey william shatner!

[@randilevson9547]

They never mention that Joyce Bulifant appeared on the MTM show. She played Murray Slaughter's adorable and supportive wife, Marie. Not very often, but she was there.

[@daviddriver2692]

There have been people that have Graced this World (&shall EVER be remembered) like James Arness, John Wayne etc. & should NEVER be attempted to copied( replaced) WHY would " they" TRY to Copy/ Replace such a OUTSTANDING show/Cast/ Host like this just blows my mind..Gene,Richard,Brett Charles,etc you are ALL SO MISSED!!

[@kristabrewer6736]

This show is ALOT different from the day time one. 2 supermatches and then, later on, they play 3 rounds instead of 2. This show was on when the other one was on. How did Gene keep them both straight

[@wattsjetton3027]

Panelists: 1. William Shatner 2. Brett Somers 3. Charles Nelson Reilly 4. Lee Meriwether 5. Richard Dawson 6. Joyce Bulifant

[@grigorb.5221]

Thanks :)

[@davidganderson870]

So Dottie's the first contestant ever to win the 10k from the supermatch right? (11 k technically). And what a wapping amount that was back in 1975! According to the U.S. Inflation Calculator that was worth 61,510.04. Not a bad sum to win on a 20 minute game show episode!

[@kevansf]

I liked how she called on all 6 panelists for an audience match suggestion!

[@kathischumacher1572]

Frosted hair lady looks like a contestant from match game daytime

[@sharondaniels5912]

Skunk hairstyle

[@Spaethon]

You are the best channel on KZbin. How can anyone else compete? While I'm at it...Eff Alex Baldwin. Worst idea in human history. Zack Galafa...whatshisface woulda even been better.

[@MatchGameProductions]

Thank you so very much

[@markjamesmeli2520]

"Stephiscope"

[@randilevson9547]

Dottie didn't stay long enough under the hair dryer, to dye her hair all the way!!

[@rhyancoleman6462]

First $10,000 winner!!!!!!

[@khaotix64]

I thought PM had 3 rounds?

[@pencils812]

I read that they started doing that in the second year.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

Did these air once a week, or every night?

[@wookinooki9023]

Shatner was sooo handsome, esp with a bit less of baby fat, we see some cheekbone.

[@John-v5f4l]

abc on disney plus

[@shelleywarkentin9656]

"I would like too kiss Richard". That's what the show was mostly about. Who cares about the money.

[@kristabrewer6736]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@susanb2015]

That was the disgusting Family Feud.

[@lLoveCarolCleavland]

Not a pair of dry panties could be found, when Richard was around. I remember the women going nuts over him.

[@martybass7376]

Classy

[@kevansf]

Except for the alien women. They all wanted to kiss Kirk (Shatner).

[@ronaldwalton1524]

I think the losing contestant was angry and this is why she lost. She also gave two dumb answers.

[@sallybuskey952]

I agree you could tell she was not a happy women!!

[@QueenAlexis556]

@@sallybuskey952 She was seething! What a sore loser, I would have just been happy to have gotten on the show and not worry about winning or losing. That's almost celebrity status. Especially back then

[@DJRitty]

So finally back to some richard eps - after the dismal mg 78 - they had ZERO reason to be jealous of him. He was THE STAR (like or not) and he played the best, that's why people chose him all the time. His track record compared to everyone else's speaks for itself. Charles tries but opts for the (not) funny now and and then (alhtough his comment sin general are always funny) and brett is an idiot half the time lol

[@LynxSouth]

I'd like to see statistics, if anyone has kept them. The big thing with Richard's record with the audience match is, he was most often asked first. I've noticed that other panelists, any others, often give the best answer when they're asked first. So, accurate records would have to indicate whether someone was called on first, second, or third.

[@kevansf]

@@LynxSouth Here's the stats for the regular show (MG '73-'79) for every star who scored at least 3 H/H matches: Orson Bean - 100% (4 matches in 4 attempts).

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.)

[@kathydixon3716]

Dottie's hair looked bad then, and it still looks bad in 2021.

[@QueenAlexis556]

Dottie was really sweet though. I'm so glad she matched Richard! 🥳🎉

[@corrinewadino8771]

This contestant acts like if she smiles she’s going to break her face. She had a negative attitude coming on the show from the beginning.

Don't yank my stethoscope

[@pencils812]

According to Joyce it's Stephescope.

[@shaleyvale272]

Omg, the contestant at circle desk must get a new hair stylist immediayely. That hair style was NEVER in style, lol!

[@LynxSouth]

The frosted front was, from 1975 through til 1977 or so. Not with college students, but very popular with the 25+, married women.

[@sharondaniels5912]

That contestant is awfully hostile 😮
