That re-run question used to be "You can tell Ugly Edna's father was a farmer because her face looks like it was ." The cromulent answer was, "Plowed". I actually think that question appeared earlier this season.
Kathy and Brenda both are some stunningly beautiful ladies...today had Gene said meet me in my dressing room .. they'd have either fired him or she'd have sued him for sexual harassment. .. A shame we've turned so hard nosed. ( guaranteed Gene was just having fun and really ment no harm)
And I guessing, if he had the show today, he wouldn't making those comments as he know better. I guessing he knew what he could and couldn't say or do back then.
None of the stars ever look happy to be picked for the head to head, but Richard did, and he tried hard to match! Will always miss him, he was the best! 🥰🤩
I can't believe they let Jack get away with saying "I was gonna say vibrator". The other day he said "Butt" as an answer and I think that's the first time that's been used on the show. Usually it's bottom, rear end, rump, behind, derriere, etc.
H/H match update for episode 1324: ... ~~~Today's action: Bill's "Hoed" was just the answer our champion was looking for to win her second game. *Today's audience match question: "Ike________"* (My thoughts: Turner, & Mike, ???) Name questions, yuck. The celebs: Donna (& Tina Turner), Betty (Eisenhower), Brett (& Mike) The choice: Eisenhower The answers: & Mike, & Tina Turner, Eisenhower - Once again the panel got them all. Second time in a row the champ picked the top answer. The wheel chooses Donna for the first time. Plus, it's a double! Stats: This is Donna's first shot at a head-to-head question. She's been pretty good at matching in the regular game so far, so I bet she'll come up with a decent answer for the H/H... *Today's H/H question: "Observation_**______* (Deck? That was my first thought. Tower? Bias? Not a lot of choices come to mind. I'll stick with deck.) Our sophomore champion looks almost grim as she contemplates. It must be a lot of pressure. Ten thousand dollars was a good chunk of change in 1978, after all (an online inflation calculator says it's worth about $48,200 in 2024). Cut to Donna who's already writing. It seems a medium-ish answer, at least 5 letters. Jack pats her on the back as she files her card. By the time Gene asks though, she seems ready and eager to answer. "Deck" she says with confidence. (Where have I heard that answer before?) The audience sounds positive, but I've heard better. I'd rate their response a 9. Donna has a subdued smile. I think she's matched. A bit of pause when Gene asks for her answer. Oh no, she doesn't have an answer. "Staple" she says. That's too bad. Oh, no! I thought we had it today. "I thought of observation deck... I wrote observation tower," Donna says, revealing my second thought. No H/H match today. ~~~Here's our standing leader board (no change today) showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she or he has "retired" from the show and their H/H stats are now complete.) (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 matches in 4 attempts). Joyce Bulifant - 80.0% (4 matches in 5 attempts). (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 62.5% (5 matches in 8 attempts). Charles - 50.0% (40 matches in 80 attempts). Betty - 46.9% (23 matches in 49 attempts). Fannie - 46.2% (18 matches in 39 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). Brett - 44.2% (38 matches in 86 attempts). (*)Richard - 42.5% (373 matches in 878 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 matches in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1324, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. (Note: episode 849 was never produced.) These stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969. 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.
OMG, that closing line from CNR to Gene (asking about the lacy pink wrap-thing Gene has been wearing around his neck for much of the show): "Can I borrow that Thursday night?" But the capper was the way Brett hugged him and collapsed in laughter. Those two were quite the pair! Looking back, it's striking how obvious Charles was about his sexuality throughout the run of the show (which doesn't seem like a big deal today, but let me tell you, it was a big deal back then), and yet I'm sure a lot of people at the time either didn't notice or chose to ignore it. (Like with Liberace.) (I was a little kid at the time and it was obvious to me.)
Free Spirit Flying again! ;0) Wow Dayton! ;0) Does Dayton stay for the syn run or does Gene's wife and daughter take over then? Been confused about that one. ;0) ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Betty!. ;0) OH! Betty is playing with Gene again, love it! ;0) Would have love to see Gene in La Cage aux Folles, I know gene would have been great it in with all of his gay stuff he did in MG.. ;0) OH! Another no response to Gene's answer.. ;0) Strange the scarf was around Gene's neck one minute and then the next time it wasn't, an strange edited or something. Just love seeing Gene wear it thou. ;0) ROFL! Love ya Charles! ;0)
Match Game was a great show to watch in the 1970s. Wish these type of shows were still on.
That re-run question used to be "You can tell Ugly Edna's father was a farmer because her face looks like it was ." The cromulent answer was, "Plowed". I actually think that question appeared earlier this season.
Love Jack Klugman on this particular episode !! Thank you !!
My stepgrandpa would've said that a commercial for "Feminine Products" would've ruined the moment (he always hated seeing them)... LOL!!! 😄😁😆

But he did grope a lot of the women.

Roll over in his stuffing? Stuffing?? Okay, I didn’t make the gravy connection because I’m a dope - I said pan, but stuffing?? Sheesh.

Next up the wedding of Brett and Jack.
I'm hook with the Match Game only for Donna Pescow...that woman was georgeous at that time.
It's Seek and ye shall find.

I was wondering what time of year this was. I guess it was October based on Bill's comment.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, the dog was grotesque, but hey let's cut up my son and use him for the wallet
Toaster 😏

Bill should’ve been a regular on the show.
Nah!
He's still alive and kicking and making music. Donna is still alive too and looking good for her age.
