@@scdevon , There was one good thing that happened, for me anyway. It was the year I became a career firefighter. Other than that, you're probably right.

Considering how I'm often running late or barely on time to things, I can't even imagine what it would have been like in the time of the gas shortage if I really needed some gas (I was born in 1978). I'm sure I would have had to plan my days off well.
Beth Di Bartolomeo I remember waiting in a two hour long gas line. I had to get there at 6am or earlier in order to get near the front so I didn’t have to worry about the gas running out. The upside: I made the Dean’s List because there was nothing to do but study.

I think maybe you missed the point a little with these answers. The point is to come up with something that someone else would say, not to be overly cerebral about it.
We're you really the contestant? Or just a coincidence of names? If so, were the panelists and Gene as nice as I would hope in real life? Especially Richard? I have a major crush on him and Gene both! Would love to hear all about it.
'A fifth' is short for a 1/5 of a gallon. It's equivalent to a 750ml bottle of liquor. The maximum allowable back in the day before attracting wholesale tax
Brett's answer to the question "Beethoven's 5th: "Department Store" is absurd, and totally unfair for the contestant who gave a logical answer. This must have been one of the shows recorded "after dinner", when they were known to be drinking a lot.

Oh, I most DEFINITELY can go without Richard!
never the same without Betty White

Loved this game show and the seventies. We will never see another great time like those, loved seeing the way we dressed in the 70s again.
Yes!!
I wonder if Euell Gibbons got a royalty each time they used his name in a question
Yul Gibbons.
I remember the gas shortages. I was in one line that was over a 1/4 mile long, and it took me about 2 hours to get to the pumps.
1974 was a terrible year for lots of reasons. One could argue that 1972 was the last good year of the 1970s.

Ahh but you see moonshine is flammable and Olive oil........nah
Brett should get a bottle of boos for not saying "a bottle of booze."
Gene was just confirming what everyone should have already known.
Pattis answer for the Beethoven question was great
Charles must've gotten a hair cut. Looks better than the last episode.
'a new toupee' is the correct terminology
18:48 "...i'll call the doctor in the morning"
At the gas station you’d take out your HOSE!

The contestants are smarter than the panelists. I've matched the contestants the last 2 times, if not 3 (plus many other times)
I enjoy this show because back in the day I didn't get the subtle adult humor.
No, Beethoven was _not_ divorced lots of times, Richard! He was, in fact, never married.
He was just setting up his dumb joke answer.
They always pick Richard Dawson
Because he was great. at home I matched him 98% of the time. But he let me down as a contestant THIS IS Debbie King AGE 83

Today everyone would match on the first question, unless the celebs tried to do a joke answer. It would be "take out your phone".
Patti matched! ;0)
There's a first time for everything! LOL.
A miracle Why they had her God' knows
@@TheScouser1234 I thought her "plea" answer to the Beethoven question was a very good one even if it didn't match.
Are you guys SERIOUS?! In the yeai and a half it's been on, Patti has matched MANY times!
That is because Patti usually matches in this show be ause she was actually pretty smart
Curious that they didn't have Johnny Olson introduce new contestants as they spun out in that announcer man voice to amp up the excitement a little.

I thought specific to general was NOT a match. A "bottle of booze" should not match with "bottle" because the bottle could contain anything or nothing. The judges tend to be inconsistent.
Yes, there is a lot of inconsistency, and a few times it caused them to bring former contestants back in order to be fair to them.
Bottle is usually implied that it's alcohol. Atleast back then.
