Match Game 76 (Episode 732) (Tires With Hair?)

[@WGlib]

I adore Betty White! "Match Game" shows us that she didn't need a script to be clever. My favorites (so far) are Fannie, Charles, Patti D., and Betty. This is my first experience with this show. I've seen some of Richard's material get recycled on newer shows.

[@edwardlozano8807]

got confused for a second....hit the wrong Episode 732....but you can tell the difference in the sound....this version sounds a lot better and clearer than the old Episode 732...

H/H match update: ... Today's action: Well, Charles's "wig" was enough to clinch a second victory for our champion. Today's audience match question: "Rum _________ " (My thoughts: and soda, and Coke, cake) The celebs: Richard (and Coke), Betty (Baba), and Brett (cake). -- Today was Betty's turn to give an unhelpful suggestion. The choice: Cake The answers: Dum, Cake, and Coke This time our new champion will be playing for $2,500. She chose Richard last time, but they didn't match. Chances are, she'll stick with him. But who knows? "I'll try Richard again," she says. This will be his eighth consecutive H/H match. He's matched two of his five most recent attempts. Looking back a little further to episode 696, Richard matched in 10 of 22 attempts. Today's H/H question: "__________ and Go" (I'll say come and go.) Richard files his answer in near record time. Without hesitation, the champion says "Up" which again doesn't sound very likely. The audience is clearly not on board with that answer, and Richard flashes a little smirk which I interpret as bemusement at her unexpected response. Indeed: "Where do you get these answers?" he asks. Hmm. Richard said "Stop." Now I'm torn. Is "Stop and Go" better than "Come and Go"? I still like my answer better. No match today. Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) 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 - 52.4% (11 wins in 21 attempts). Betty - 51.4% (18 wins in 35 attempts). Charles - 51.0% (27 wins in 53 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 41.4% (24 wins in 58 attempts). Richard - 40.7% (174 wins in 427 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 732, 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!")

Betty looks stunning per usual. Love her hairstyle and outfit! Charles is funny as always. They’re my 2 fav panelist’s. 12:48 - probs my fav moment of this episode. Love charles and his newspaper jokes.

[@randydellinger2996]

Archie joins the NAACP.

[@sheristewart3940]

My ex-husband used to say that same stupid remark, "I just wanted to see what it felt like." 🤯Richard Dawson said at 3:05

[@kevansf]

The latest contestant has sort of a Keith Partridge / David Cassidy look going on there.

[@steveyounker7897]

The reason that the audience cheered so loudly for Brett's answer was that she was third, after Betty got stumped, and came up with a pretty good one. But I thought "rum and Coke" from the start.

[@skipmoto3438]

Archie joins the Jewish Black Panthers.

[@retrochick9993]

Wow, some of the 70s hairstyles were..... interesting! 😬

[@יעליעקב-ת4מ]

Charles is too cute 🥰🥰🥰

[@ts.elliot5870]

Kim was adorable.

[@XMLarry]

Archie Bunker goes nuts and joins a monastary

[@lesburns7395]

couldn't believe nobody said KKK

[@MikeSebastianVideos]

Yikes, Charles is one of my favorites, especially his "Chuck" persona-- but his "miscarriage" response was pretty rough, even for the 70s.

[@ShortyGirl63]

Mike Sebastian Agree. Really bad. Who’s mind would go there??

[@pencils812]

The crowd didn't like it.

[@sheristewart3940]

Plajn awful and disgusting!

[@cyberdalekyeti]

Whoopy does not mean you have affair could be with her boyfriend or her husband so that is not a match

[@mikehunt4986]

16:45 Things were so much better back then...all they got was hate mail that really didn't make much of a difference...now they'd get flooded with fucking tweets and holy shit do those make a difference!

[@mikehunt4986]

@R How much do they get paid? I'm neither a Karen nor a soy boy but if the money is right I'll shoot a tweet.

[@mikehunt4986]

@R Yes we do.

[@joedebaun4547]

I'm glad the star wheel came along. The girls were too smitten with Richard.

[@יעליעקב-ת4מ]

Can't blame them...🥰

[@garfield2439]

So why do u care?

[@ts.elliot5870]

Richard was the money man! He gave away far more than any other celebrity. The star wheel was the end of this version of MG. It was not the same without him IMHO.

[@mlchc9004]

Betty is stunning

[@todddepue681]

Betty White wearing another stunning Pucci number.

[@pencils812]

She's worn that before.

[@wcwindom56]

[@mikeoxhertz526]

Fighter was a match :(

[@garfield2439]

Hope she came back

[@garfield2439]

Hope she came back

[@sheristewart3940]

I said karate chop.

[@markditoro8836]

Is it too soon for Archie to join The Village People?

[@KG-xt4oq]

Don't know if they were famous before YMCA came out; YMCA was released in 1978.

[@Mikey-en8fw]

Archie Bunker goes nuts and joins the Democrat Party

[@sheristewart3940]

....eh 'miscarriage' charles? Yikes lol

[@sheristewart3940]

That's the worst answer he's given thus far, and I think the worst ever!

[@pencils812]

At the 2:00 mark, Betty hit Richard around the lower waist.....and he was the last one to answer the question. They had something going on.

[@sdlively27]
