    Dawson gets a lot of crap for this little episode, but honestly, I think it was warranted. And he seems to be genuinely pissed that the contestant is getting screwed.

      choclytgremlins He wanted the fair outcome on both MG and FF. If you want another prime example of bad judging look up Match Game 77 Richard Explodes Again. Its just like this. The contestant gave the answer of 'bag'. Some celebs wrote paper bag/sack which were considered matches. Richard wrote plastic baggie and was buzzed. Ira refused to match him since paper and plastic dont match. But the contestant never specified a particular bag. As long as its a bag shoudlnt it match???? Richard got a bit agitated that time too and rightly so.

      CULTURED pearls would certainly fit (go to) "finishing school" perfectly! And "night school" fits because of the idea of education. I think Charles was allowed because he circled "school", he's designated the main part of his answer that way before. The judge's decisions were outrageous, an exact answer wasn't required for first and second round questions.

    • @MoonshineBootleg
      @MoonshineBootleg 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      My impression is that the Dawson/Producer conflicts on MG/FF came from the fact that Richard always had the contestant's back no matter what. The producers didn't like it because it cost them prize money/fed Richard's ego, but at the same time, Richard knew that the whole point of the game was for the contestants to relax, have fun, and win some money. I really think a lot of the stories about Richard Dawson being some monstrous egomaniac are either false or grossly exaggerated by Hollywood execs who thought they ruled the world. Watch Howie Felscher in the Family Feud doc on E! and tell me that's a reliable witness.

      Asner and Brett's answers were technically correct, although not the exact word. Charles enclosed the word in a box, so it is a general and rightfully accepted. Debralee and Richard's answer, while specific, DID contain the word school, even though it's a grey area. Richard was correct. College is not the word 'school', but it is a higher form of the word. Patti's answer should have been accepted, as college classes could be scheduled at night, hence night school. Match Game's lax rules caused many problems. Take a look at the response in the final CBS episode. Gene said the contestant's answer had to be the exact match. She responded "Snug as a bug in a rug". Brett's answer was "Snug as a bug", and the judges accepted that answer.

"College" on the other hand, being a general answer in itself, is an acceptable answer. The judges fouled up. I'm glad to hear they invited him back for another shot.

      Isnt the point of a having a game show host/MC to advocate for the contestant even when the judges are wrong?

    • @Milesco

      Yeah, I like Gene Rayburn, but he would almost always take the judge's side, even when the judge was wrong.

    • @matthewkessler2366

      Could have been inside politics that we do not know about. Bear in mind, that Gene was only a host and as we have seen over the years, many of the biggest stars have been simply dismissed and replaced. That's my take on it. Some people are fearful of rocking the boat.

    I know this is really old, and I'm not sure if it's been said, but I read somewhere that the contestant was allowed to return for another episode

    What cracks me up...is the game show was Gene Rayburn's creation. He was pretty much the judge on that show.

    Unfortunately, not they should not have. The rule was used multiple times throughout the series. No general to specific matches - so CNR's answer should have been disallowed as well, despite the stress on the term itself. College is a synonym of school, and is therefore acceptable. Rough, but it is consistent.

    He lost the game. Elscottro indicated previously:
    "this losing contestant was invited back (about a week or two later)..he actually wore the same suit, but scored a big "0" the 2nd time very quickly "

    Here's the thing - after the quiz show scandals in the 1950s, the networks were held to very strict standards about how the games were played, how contestants were selected, etc, etc. Even the appearance of any sort of "rigging" or attempt to control the outcome of the game could trigger an FCC investigation, and there were frequent investigations for even minor infractions. Check out George Peppard's appearance on Password Plus (th-cam.com/video/WqVYZDssgrU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BlackwoodCompany) where he voices his irritation with the strictness of game show policies.
    So, it really surprises me that the judge refused to accept the night/finishing school answers while accepting "scuba diving school." While I doubt the judge was trying to affect the outcome of the game, I think he was stung by Gene's remark about reversing the decision on "scuba diving school" and wanted to reassert his authority. Unfortunately, it gave the impression of attempting to control the outcome of the game. The contestant (or really, anyone watching at home, since that's how FCC complaints work) could have made a complaint to the FCC, and there would have been some real meat to the ensuing investigation. Mark Goodson's reputation was what was at stake during the "school riot," and he was a man of the highest integrity. I'm sure he had a thing or two to say to whatever producer was acting as "judge" during that question, and that he squared things with the contestant.
    This was probably also the beginning of Richard Dawson's slow burn into leaving "Match Game." Note that Mark Goodson gave him what was essentially a full-game version of the Audience Match/Super Match rounds - the very thing Richard Dawson was the best at.

      Ira Skutch was a corrupt POS. He did it to arouse the audience; get that negative attention demons like him crave. Play mind games with people he didn't like, ESPECIALLY Dawson. He gave Charles an answer he was not entitled to because he FAVORITED CNR and then buzzed a whole tier of correct answers.

  • @gsparkway324
    @gsparkway324 18 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The contestant's answer was so general, the judges assumed he meant regular school, so that was why college was taken and not finishing school. MY OPINION, since he gave a general term, ALL ANSWERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACEPTED!

  • @ElsieGirder

    If I recall correctly, he did lose this one - but was invited back within a couple of weeks (and lost again).

  • @RnB12
    @RnB12 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Finishing school is the same thing as college, and scuba diving + night school are both types of school. School is very general so every varient should be there.

  • @toddles822
    @toddles822 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My only possible explanation is that the judges were confused mid-way through and thought he said college, which is a specific type of school. Not trying to defend the judges, but trying to figure out how this could have happened

    • @SamWesting
      @SamWesting 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      2:30 Not judges. A judge. My theory about how everything went off the rails is that the judge got pissed at the way Charles argued his case. (Spelling out school & talking down to him.) And then the judge decided to flex his authority w/Debralee & Richard. It was a battle of egos & the poor contestant was caught in the middle of it.

  • @AaronJFriesen
    @AaronJFriesen 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @GreenDeathFlavor Well, the reason for accepting "College" could stem from the use of "school" to sometimes mean "college".

    That is just unreal that CNR was able to reverse the decision and then Richard literally is in the same boat and what the hell, it’s not acceptable for him?

  • @stargate121
    @stargate121 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Notice that they still counted Charles's SCUBA DIVING School answer. The judges were not consistent.

    What if one of the panelists said UNIVERSITY, would that be an acceptable answer?
