(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!") -- Also, note that episode 849 was never produced.
well the original Book of Love was recorded by The Monotones in 1957, and was featured in the movie American Graffiti some years later. If someone didn't follow the teeny-bopper bands at the time they wouldn't have heard of it. To be fair, he didn't know Smoky Robinson and the Miracles either in another episode.
15:21 look at how betty saw gene looking at her chest and immediately put her hands there. Not sure if that meant anything. (and yes i do know gene wasn’t looking at her chest, he was just looking at the necklace/pendant) 16:42 “no shed” 😂
Does anyone else think that "wooden leg" is a rotten answer? It's attached, of course he carries it over the threshold. That's not weird. And "treasure" isn't either. "First mate" would be weird, but no one said it.
Brett to Scoey: "Book of what?" "I can't see it." "What did you say?" "I can't hear you" Scoey thinking to himself: "Why do I have to sit next to this b*tch?"
Big nose 👃 rubber lips 👄 Dawson squealing on cnr eating. Big deal, Dawson was always smoking. And Brett was always eating or gagging. Nothing said to her.
For the record, the great CNR can do as he pleases 🥰
BEST MOMENT: CNR made Scoey crack up!
I don't think Scoey was feeling well, so it was great seeing him crack up!
Weird beginning. First, Olsen extends his opening line, then the turntable STOPS.

Gene laughed soooooo hard at 6:11 that he almost ______________________.
What is : Almost collapses ?
Why the F would long John silver carry his wooden leg over the threshold, his parrot would have been a much more definitive answer
The Book Of Love came up again in episode 989
Same question was used not that long ago only scavenger hunt was swapped for job hunt- no one said gun.
I think Gene was a handsome man. Especially when he wore the darker suits. Very distinguished.
I agree with you, especially with the dark hair.. ;0)
Too silly
He blew the India rubber question...head was the obvious answer.... Book of knowledge?
Book of Knowledge was a children's encyclopedia. It was a staple of schools and children's reading rooms in libraries until at least the 1980s.
Gene only knows old show tunes, never any pop or rock songs or artists. I was surprised a few episodes ago that he had heard of Janis Joplin.
well the original Book of Love was recorded by The Monotones in 1957, and was featured in the movie American Graffiti some years later. If someone didn't follow the teeny-bopper bands at the time they wouldn't have heard of it. To be fair, he didn't know Smoky Robinson and the Miracles either in another episode.
15:21 look at how betty saw gene looking at her chest and immediately put her hands there. Not sure if that meant anything. (and yes i do know gene wasn’t looking at her chest, he was just looking at the necklace/pendant)
16:42 “no shed” 😂
What is WRONG with these PEOPLE!!! They KNOW the answer is wooden leg, not 99% of the time, but one HUNDRED percent of the time!
Scoey... always...looks...so...pleased...to...be...there!
I love Scoey, he's cute, funny, charming, not conceited and seems respectful of women, One of his best qualities!
10:09 -- Yet again, Gene Rayburn is remarkably ignorant of rock music. Who the heck hadn't heard of "(Who Wrote) the Book of Love" in 1977?
They all were!
I agree. I don't believe any, other than Scoey, had a clue about the song.
This was pre internet and there were only 3 major TV networks. I have a feeling Gene didn't watch much TV.
10:29 I wonder wonder who who who who who wrote the book of love
Scoey is a mood
Those facial expressions.
Wow! Terrible questions.
Does anyone else think that "wooden leg" is a rotten answer? It's attached, of course he carries it over the threshold. That's not weird. And "treasure" isn't either. "First mate" would be weird, but no one said it.
It's so weird to see someone smoking.
Long John Silver Fish and fries basket
The "Betty White Show" didn't have much success I guess.
Gagging hehe
Brett to Scoey: "Book of what?" "I can't see it." "What did you say?" "I can't hear you"
Scoey thinking to himself: "Why do I have to sit next to this b*tch?"
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?

19:12 Scoey: “I got no choice [to come back next time]; I signed a contract.”
Richard: 🫤
