Like these PM episodes, My Mom told me Lee Meriwether was a former Miss America, I don't know if I was born yet though. I remember this show because when I got home from Grade School, this would just be starting,, But that was the Regular Match Game. I liked all the laughter and Audience participation when I was a kid. Still watching here in 2019.;)
Coming from Massachusetts, I was surprised that Gene Knew about channel 7 being in Boston, and channel 12 in Providence, but then I remembered Gene lived on the cape, and flew to LA for the show , on a regular basis.
H/H match update: (Spoilers) ~~~~~ Trivia: This week's stars and their total appearances on the daytime series: Brett Somers (286 weeks total. First week: 11-15; Final week: 1451-1455) Richard Dawson (257 weeks total. First week: 1-5; Final week: 1281-1285) Charles Nelson Reilly (235 weeks total. First week: 11-15; Final week: 1441-1445) Betty White (75 weeks total. First week: 11-15; Final week: 1421-1425) Lee Meriwether (12 weeks total. First week: 116-120; Final week: 1436-1440) George Kennedy (5 weeks total. First week: 666-670; Final week: 1166-1170) The first four stars' head-to-head stats for the '73-'79 daytime series are shown in the big leader board (below). Lee matched 2 out of her 3 attempts (66.7%) during her stint on "Match Game '7x". George matched 2 out of 2. More trivia: To the best of my knowledge, George is one of only three MG stars to have won an Academy Award. (Let me know in the comments if I've forgotten anyone.) 1) George Kennedy won his Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in "Cool Hand Luke" (1967). 2) Patty Duke won her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in "The Miracle Worker" (1962). (George and Patty appeared together the week of 1166-1170 - a truly star-studded week!) 3) Marvin Hamlisch (episodes 621-625) won 3 Academy Awards (all in one night in 1974) in three music categories. Additionally, Fannie Flagg would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" (1992). ~~~~~ Here are the H/H stats for the PM series so far: Star: Matches/Attempts/Match % Charles: 2/2/100% Brett: 3/4/75.0% Richard: 16/24/66.7% EBR*: 5/8/62.5% Betty: 0/1/0% Fannie: 0/1/0% *EBR = Everybody but Richard. Just like it sounds, a combination of everyone but Richard, for the sake of comparison. *Includes the results of all head-to-head matches in the "Match Game PM" series from episode 1 through episode 33 (note: there was no H/H match in episode 11 due to a double audience match fail).

Twinkle-eyed Henry of Cranston, RI belongs on a most memorable contestant compilation! He's delightful, and his victory lap around the panel was hilarious.

First I watched the entire '73-'79 series in order. Now I'm here to see my old MG "friends" again, and although I like these shows, they're not nearly as much fun as the regular series. One thing that appealed to about the daytime series was its "lawlessness" - anything could happen. They could abandon the game for a few moments to sing, do a skit, argue about an answer, roast one another. Antics galore. Sometimes they didn't even finish a single game in an episode, other times they had two complete Super-Match rounds. We might start in the middle of a tie-breaker or with the head-to-head or with a new challenger being introduced. It much more Show and much less game. This edition is tightly structured because they must fit an entire game and Super-Match in, no more, no less, so there's a lot leeway for hijinks, and, consequently, less spontaneity and less fun. One odd gameplay wrinkle in the PM edition is that the second round always begins with the contestant who's already ahead, thus ensuring that the game lasts all four questions; in the main version, the challenger goes first both rounds, so if s/he doesn't at least tie the champion, the game is over right then and the champion wins without ever hearing her second-round question. Of course, they had to do that to prevent a game from ending prematurely which would make for a too-short episode. Also, the H/H questions are far easier in the PM version. I think in part it's because the winning contestants only get one shot at the big money, and partly because they like ending on a happy note with a big winner (less important on the daytime version since the program so rarely ended right after a H/H).
@@MatchGameProductions It seems like the frequency of "gold star" episodes has decreased since around episode 600 or so. Is a pattern developing here, where the later years of MG have fewer episodes worthy of the "gold star" designation? (I wouldn't be surprised if that's true, but I would think that MG76 is still part of the "golden age" of Match Game.) Or maybe it's just a random dry spell, or just my imagination.
@@Paul71H It's definitely odd there aren't many GOLD STAR EPISODES for MG76. Nothing was dry by any means, just nothing out of the usual was done. I personally think MG77 has way more episodes that are GOLD STAR caliber than 76.
I kinda like watching when people were allowed to be their own inappropriate selves. Warts and all it was society Not the Weird, Sick, Twisted crap we are FORCED to accept now. These people aren't worried about some bug, giving hugs or sharing a laugh an Actual Laugh and Not an lol. See ya good old days ! Probably Never again such freedoms. WAH!
Henry was a hoot. 🤣🤣🤣.

Joey Gagliardi she’s a little flirty here. Very attractive.

I really liked Henry, lots of fun, played well, twinkle in his eye! Glad he won big.
Me too!!!!
GenKatQltr He was a sweetheart! Probably deceased now like most of the panel is. BETTY White turned 98 yesterday though!!!
I said soda, then sundae, then milkshake and settled with sundae. Good thing I wasn't on the show!
Henry avoided calling Dickie in the audience poll and Super Match.

HARVEY WALLBANGER...anyone else think of that?
I love George Kennedy 🤗❤️, he can play the hero or the villain. He is 👍🤗❤️
Poor thing. He had a tremor in his hand every time he showed his answer card.
Twinkle-eyed Henry of Cranston, RI belongs on a most memorable contestant compilation! He's delightful, and his victory lap around the panel was hilarious.
I wonder what Charles poured into his drink at about 4:45?
I was with Charles, he eats your baby! 😂
That was my first thought too! The trope is that politicians used to kiss your baby, so I thought it fit right into the question.
PM MATCH GAMES ARE SO FUNNY! But everybody is LIT BY THE PM!
Gene 🧬 Rayburn is Life! 🤩
I love Brett says I’m a mother how many children Brett has and do they miss their mother
As far as I know she had at least 2 sons.
that's what Google's for

@@barbrudnicki2289Brett had one child by her first marriage and two by her second marriage.
Gene slipped up and called her 'Crispy', surprised no one called him out on it!
At 14:40 he told the man "you look like a gayblade." It meant a dashing or lively man.

Was your father Harvey Korman?
I was adamant that the top answer was wallbanger, but Harvey Korman was hysterical on the Carol Burnett Show. I wish it was still in production.
4:16 - Big George Kennedy's shaking like a leaf.
Holy Moses I noticed that to. He did it a lot during the daytime episodes to. I don't know if he was just nervous or what?
Poor guy. He lived til age 91. I wonder if he had that tremor the rest of his life.
He had heart problems.
@@pencils812 Katherine Hepburn inherited a head shaking that she just accepted with grace. Great icon she was.
@@sheristewart3940 a few years back there was a lady that I worked with that had the same affliction
Henry was one of the more enjoyable contestants on this show.
Love Betty White , she’s my fave in every episode she’s on
I wonder if George Kennedy developed Parkinson's.
Alex Trebek will be very happy @ 19:12.
My answers in order of Q: baby (1 match); daughter (5 matches); bananas (3 matches), chest (1 match), Korman ($250), High ($500), Sundae, (although I almost chose "cone")
Haha, Henry was a great contestant! Well done Brett on the big money match!
I was torn between Cone and Sundae in the head to head.
Same!
Ice cream soda didn’t cross my mind.
The PM episodes seemed more canned than the daytime shows. Both are good just in different ways.

Just found out my Mom was right,, Brett Just said it.
PIG IS A WONDERFUL ANSWER!

I thought sundae
APE is the answer! I can’t believe everybody said, bananas so far
Gidget goes ... to Washington!
Way to go Brett!! Contestants chose for her and she won!! And no Dawson at all!! Hurray..!
Too bad she cackles like an old hag. No need for Brett. Any of the panelists would have answered with cone. Stupid Brett.
YAAAAAY

Richard Dawson. Ha-Ha. Thank You.
We said wall banger
I thought Christy had it made with her answer of chest, not only is Lee gorgeous but she also has a super sexy voice
RICHARD and BETTY said APE!
It's a drink
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?
