God Charles was such a gem to this show, always fun and full of pep and usually had a good answer.

Mr. & Mrs. Match Game: Charles Nelson Reilly & Brett Somers

[@brandonbowles9778]

RIP Major Roger Healy Tell Major Nelson and Dr. Bellows I said hello

[@fflubadubb]

This was one of the greatest game shows of all time not only the mix of celebrities but the incomparable Gene Rayburn .He was the 🐐

[@kevansf]

H/H match update: ... This is week 127/291 of our favorite classic game show. These episodes were taped on December 27, 1975 and originally aired in late January 1976. It's all familiar faces on the panel again this week! I like it when "old friends" come back for a visit! Our stalwart regulars Charles, Richard, and Brett are joined by Fannie in the sixth seat. Bill Daily returns for his fourth week (of 15 total). He's already 2 for 2 in the H/H match department, so one more match will "promote" him to the big leader board! It's been a long time since a new celeb cracked the big leader board, so that would be exciting if Bill pulls it off. Also returning is Lee Meriwether, back for her third week (of 12). She hasn't yet played the H/H match. Will Bill get another shot at the H/H match this week? What about Lee? Let's sit back, enjoy, and see what happens! Before we start the week, one observation: When a week ends in the middle of a game (as last week did), it throws a bit of a wrinkle into the gameplay (in my opinion). Last Friday, the challenger had to match Jimmie, Elaine, and Marcia in her first round question. Today the champion will have to match Bill, Lee, and Fannie in her first round question. In situations like this, the two groups of celebs are never equal for both contestants (in other words, one group might have a celeb who rarely matches, and the other group might have a celeb who often matches, and that doesn't seem fair). Not a huge deal, but something to consider. (I'm honestly not sure which contestant got the better deal in this instance, though.) Observation #2: That new "think music" was obnoxious and distracting! Today's action: A new week brings a new champion. (Gene has never said a contestant's name as frequently as he did today.) Audience match question: "________ Fork" The celebs: Richard (Knife and), Brett (Salad), and Charles (Pitch) The choice: Pitch The answers: Salad, Knife and, Pitch It's not often that the third celeb chosen comes up with the top answer, and it's nice to see Charles give a brilliant response for the audience match, as all too often his suggestions (although often funny) aren't terribly helpful. For the H/H match, the contestant chooses... Charles! (I imagine she must have been backstage "on deck" during the taping of the prior week's shows and saw CNR's H/H match in 628, as well as Richard not matching all three times last week. I'm not sure if any of that influenced her, because contestants often choose the celeb whose audience match suggestion they take, especially if it's the top response. Also, the contestant said that "pitch" was the first thing she'd thought of, so maybe she just feels like she and Charles are on the same wavelength.) Today's H/H question: " ________ Collection" I think this is hard. Stamp collection comes to mind, but I'm not thrilled with it. Charles wrote quickly, but hesitated, and looked down towards Fannie and over to Brett, as if reading suggestions they may have written. Huh. The contestant also says stamp. I'm a little bit surprised. Charles begins a long digression - a sure sign he has the matching answer - and, sure enough, he'd written "stamp"! Charles scores his 21st H/H match! This is his second consecutive match, and his score now climbs ahead of Betty's! He's far and away the most successful H/H matcher of the three regulars, but he still has a way to go to catch Fannie. Here's the updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Fannie - 52.6% (10 wins in 19 attempts). Charles - 47.7% (21 wins in 44 attempts). Betty - 46.9% (15 wins in 32 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 40.3% (145 wins in 360 attempts). Brett - 38.0% (19 wins in 50 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 631, excluding the lost/missing episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")

That was one of the things that Goodson and Toddman notice when he was on The Name Is The Same. How quickly he became at ease with being on tv.. Granted by then he had a Variety Show and a episode of Kukla, Fran and Olie under his belt. ;0)

Gene Rayburn was indeed the master. Richard Dawson became known as the kissing game show host but Gene Rayburn was at it long before Richard. But everyone wanted to kiss Richard because he was so cool.

Gene called Charles, Richard again. I wonder if there is a count of how many times people did that on Match Game. It happened SO frequently. (I even do it, myself sometimes.)

[@feudfan55]

For the first question, I would have said he turned into Dr. Frankenstein.

That was my second thought. My first was Dr. Joyce Brothers since she has been a guest panelist several times.

I know it's been 46 years and I'll never find out, but there is one person who is ALWAYS in the audience, who yells in a high shrill voice, WOOOOOOOOOOO!, whenever anything racy is mentioned. How was it that the same person was in every single audience of TMG? Maybe it was an employee? A friend or relative of the regular panelists?

(two matches) SALAD fork before getting help, but I'll go with Richard and say KNIFE AND fork ($250 match) TRASH Collection (not very good, but... Bzzt. Stamp was a great answer.
