Match Game 76 (Episode 663) ("BLANK Afternoon?")

[@will0940]

Gene Rayburn dude you were a legend on Match Game and Richard Dawson, Brett Sommers and Charles Nelson Reilly were the best panelists ever

[@nunosoares2329]

RIP Gene Reyburn and some of the members of this panel who are no longer with us. Condolences to the families :-(. By the way. Jo Ann Pflug? Stunning!

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Moody Blues, baby - Tuesday Afternoon!

[@sergtchannel]

I love JoAnn Pflug, so I will, as a Marine, forgive the fact that the Corporal Chevrons on her sleeves are upside down!

[@retrochick9993]

"I always match Brett at home" but then he doesn't use her answer which, amazingly, was the #1 answer

[@cinemaholic730]

I was shocked by that to seeing the audience gave her answer the most applause. But he at least matched with her with postage stamp

[@beckydutra6543]

But Dog day doesn't sound like a usual saying as much as Sunday or Good. He probably felt the same way. I disagree that it was the 500 answer

[@LynxSouth]

@@beckydutra6543 _Dog Day Afternoon_ is the title of a major movie starring Al Pacino that came out in 1975. It was based on a real crime, and was heavily promoted. It was the first thing that I thought of.

[@pencils812]

I noticed.

[@eddieafterburner]

It makes perfect sense, actually. “Always matching Brett” matters for the head-to-head, where, indeed, he picked her and had great success. But it’s irrelevant for the audience match, where he didn’t “not go with Brett” as much as he did go on his own for what he thought would be more popular with the general public.

[@kevansf]

H/H match update: ... Today's action: A new champion wins a close tie-breaker thanks to the classic Match Game answer "bra," sending our outgoing champion home with $4,050. Today's audience match question: "________ Afternoon" The celebs: Richard (It's a lazy), Brett (Dog day), and Fannie (Early) The choice: Sunday (He goes it alone!) The answers: Sunday, Good, Dog Day (Wow, Brett was the only celeb to give a suggestion that actually appeared on the board!) Well, our new champ has a shot at $1,000. I wonder who he'll choose to play the H/H with. He just said his sister told him to pick Richard, but he also said he matches Brett at home. And Brett did suggest the top audience match answer after all (a suggestion he unfortunately didn't take). Well good gravy, Marie! He picks Brett! Richard's streak is broken after 18 consecutive H/H matches. This is Brett's first attempt since 641 (when she matched). Brett only has a mild touch of the vapors this time! Maybe she's getting more accustomed to the pressure. This is her 53rd attempt after all, making her the second most-chosen celebrity for the H/H... Today's H/H question: "_______ Stamp" An easy one? I'd say postage. The most generic and common thing I can think of. Brett briefly agonizes, but begins writing fairly soon, and her answer appears to have several letters in it. She looks confident as she files her card. Ding! The contestant answers "postage" stamp as well, and receives a healthy round of applause. Brett does a Richard-style fake out, citing an LA Times article she read about food stamps, "But I wrote postage stamp anyway!" Brett scores her 21st H/H match! 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). Betty - 50% (17 wins in 34 attempts). Charles - 47.7% (21 wins in 44 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 41.0% (157 wins in 383 attempts). Brett - 39.6% (21 wins in 53 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 663, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, and 645. (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!")

[@ts.elliot5870]

By this point the show was really hitting its stride. It still had a feeling like it could go off the rails at any point but that just made it more interesting. Brett, Charles, Fannie and Richard worked well together and Gene kept it moving in the right direction.

[@funfunster]

Greg is absolutely adorable esp. with his Little Richard hair.

[@janeporter818]

Gene is a legend

[@randydellinger2996]

In his own mind.

[@jessechristian8665]

He and Richard Dawson were in a competition to see who could kiss the most women. Dawson got his own show (Family Feud) and bypassed Gene with a steady flow of grandma's, other men's wives, other guy's girlfriends and pubescent females. Gene Rayburn and Richard Dawson, two of the biggest sex addicts on earth.

[@anjie0301]

I just watched this episode on BUZZR a few weeks ago. I love the male contestant. He's got a great personality. ☺

On the India rubber man question, they missed the joke. What's another word for mugged. They blew him up with an air pump, and they Rolled him.

[@cinemaholic730]

At 20:17 anyone else notice to the padded bra question a woman in the audience loudly said "Fannie" right before he said it?

[@sdlively27]

Yes, but I am guessing that was going to be Greg's answer anyway..

[@cinemaholic730]

I guess they have no control if the audience shouts out an answer

[@sdlively27]

@@cinemaholic730 Not really I guess althou if you listen you can hear a bunch of shhhh during some parts of the game. They don't encouraged shouts out outside of when Gene asked them what what you say, Gene usually gets after the audience when they do when they not supposed to. ;0)

[@steveyounker7897]

I love Greg, he's a great contestant, but he's got to learn to listen to the audience! Dog Day Afternoon got a huge response. And yeah, I thought of "Tuesday Afternoon" by the Moody Blues, but these people know zip about pop music. Gene one asked who Eric Clapton was!

[@sailorbychoice1]

I thought Snow White invented an _Electric Dwarf Washer._

[@CousinOresama]

That was my thought, too.

[@sdlively27]

ROFL!! Ok another good episode I can see already.. ;0) Feels just like MG73/74 again, everyone laughing and having a good time.. ;0)

[@footofjuniper8212]

No one said "Dolly Parton" on that last question. I'm shocked.

She really wasn't well known nationally yet. Only regionally.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA now THAT'S funny! 🙄

[@kevansf]

"Consistently" gives bad answers? Today's audience match she was the ONLY celeb to give an answer that was actually on the board, and it was the top answer at that! Plus she matched in the head-to-head. This is "consistently" giving bad answers? Hmm.

[@ts.elliot5870]

​@@kristabrewer6736the TROLL is out.

[@jessechristian8665]

Brett keeps saying she's an heiress. An heiress of what? Jack Klugman's millions? I don't think so. If you try to find anything about her parents you can forget it. She was born and raised in Maine by wolves. She must be mistaking the word heiress for the word airhead.

[@brandiegger8808]

You might also want to look up the word joke. She was kidding.

[@susanbezio6708]

She was born in Canada moved to Maine as a child.

[@donaldleroy6502]

If this had been 1967 I'd bet the 🏠 TUESDAY afternoon would be on top of the audience match

[@LASeoulGuy]

Brett sure coughed a lot in this episode....

[@jamesr1703]

I wonder if the final question would have still been the same, if he had been playing for $5000?

[@sdlively27]

Yes I believe so. I believe it the question for whatever money the contestants is going for, be it 500 or 100 dollars.. ;0) They don't change it even if they go to commercial before the head to head.. Cause if they did, I would think someone would have say something about it..

[@storylass9071]

they have the question already out when the super match comes up so it doesn't matter how much money you're playing for the question is the same.

[@kristabrewer6736]

Of course it would. Do you think they sneak in there and put new questions in the slot while they're still on the air

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

Brett took extra time because it must be real hard to write a three letter word on a card.

[@der22672]

I went a completely different direction with the padded bra question. Georgie is the world's greatest salesman right? Now, if he was the greatest salesman in the world I thought of Twiggy or A Man. Something flat chested right? Also, that person in the audience shouldn't have yelled out Fannie to Greg. That audience was already wound up. They were like that for the whole show. 🤔🤔

[@sdlively27]

I think Greg already had his answer by the time the audience member said it because just after it he said it Greg said because Fannie is here.. I believe his answer was going to be Fannie all alone.. ;0)

[@marvinmeeker5765]

Remember the essence of salesmanship is selling something to those who need it least, such as selling ice to an eskimo. So, salesmanship means selling that padded bra to DOLLY PARTON! I'm really surprised her name didn't come up with that question.

[@CousinOresama]

Yeah, my first thought was Dolly Parton, but some posts indicate that she wasn't quite that well known at the time, so I went for Raquel Welch. I don't know why I didn't think of Fannie until the contestant mentioned her, but I didn't.
