In 73 i was 14. Life was pretty simple. Ride my bike in the mornings, play baseball, have lunch, hang out awhile then about 4 oclock MG would come on and we'd enjoy the air conditioning and the crazy celebrities. Summer vacation that year was care free.
Blue (blank) Sky, yeah I guess, would have thought Moon would have topped that. There’s a lot of answers that wouldn’t have surprised me if they were up there, Iike Jeans, Ribbon, Velvet, Suede Shoes, Monday or Danube even. If it was in Canada I’m pretty sure Blue Nose would have been mentioned, as in the famous Nova Scotia Schooner the Bluenose….it’s been on our dime since 1937.
i was a sucessful contestant on MG74 i think episode 77 or close i would have o check..but at age 82 one gets slightly, or "muchly " forgetful.. i was successful until both Richard and OMG Betty White blew it for me..I was shocked at Betty's answer was BANANA for what THE GIANT GORILLA name ? put in his giant martini.. i said Coconut but Betty said BANANA UGH... Betty really! in a MARTINI ?..and for BLUE Richard said for BLUE I SAID NAVY ..SO DID RICHARD .. I GOT BUZZED,,,But the audience were not pleased cos most thought it was a match NAVY BLUE..anyway thanks to whomever uploaded these fun shows i cannot believe i am 82..hope i race Betty lol i was browsing because i was trying to find out WHEN GENE WENT FROM BEING THE CALLED " HOST" TO BEING THE " STAR " no one seems to have noticed .

Yes it really was but the 70's still had all the bullshit that we have today. At least the pinko liberals had no chance because American pride was very strong. The free America that I remember has since slowly been dissolving and socialism is a real threat nowadays. If I had a Delorean and a flux capacitor I'd use it.
@@txryder79 Democrats and Republicans are the same thing.dont kid yourself.these people don't give a damn about you.remember a Republican passed Obamacare...his name was John Roberts.
There was allot of turmoil going on in the late 1960's and early 70's, too. We have a tendency to romanticize history especially in the times where we are children or young teens. we didn't know all the drama that was taking place at the time.
I saw this episode when it originally aired. I remember the contestant Gita---her hair and mine looked the same---long and dark, which mine still is. I was 16 years old at the time. (Jan Griffiths).
My hair was just like hers at the time. I was 16 years old then, and saw this episode. My hair is still long and dark today, and I'm 65 now. I wonder what Gita looks like today. (Jan Griffiths).
Gene Rayburn’s microphone on Match Game was an Electro Voice RE50 silver color . The same mic used for Radio & TV news reporters today are using the same model in the black color.
Yes .I understand that tape issue.Have had the same problem with audio reel to reel tape and 1/2 inch video reel to reel.The coating comes off and gums up the heads and tape guides and squeals like this tape.Had to keep stopping the machine to clean the heads to finish the tape transfers. Seems like all of those bad tapes came from the same batch in that era. Might get lucky that somebody that has a another copy from laying around in their closet as they grabbed it as the affiliate stations clean out their tape storage area years ago. I'm glad the tape tracking and color was not affected with it. Thanks for posting.I was wondering for awhile where was episode 7.Now I know.
The audio here isn't even that bad honestly....not bad enough to warrant unairing IMO, but I can understand wanting pristine too. Awesome to have this out just the same though now.
I doubt much with home recording .VHS and Betamax was not out until the later 1970's.All alot of money then but some people might be lucky having a 3/4 U-matic VTR. Philips with their formats VCR-LP and V2000 machines ,Also 1/2 inch reel to reel video tape which were popular in schools and libraries was around then.Some other formats I probably forgot about to add here. I'm glad the show on the tapes survive over the 40 plus years and get seen here from MatchGameProductions today. Hats off to you .MatchGameProductions taking you time and efforts getting these gems transferred and sharing these with us.
Yes thank you very much for these wonderful entertaining programs. So nice to have a distraction from this god-awful divisive and partisan political climate we seem to be mired in at the moment. Gives us hope that love will trump hate.
I forgot how stiff and straight Gene was with the first few '73 shows. Amazing that the show had pretty much fell into its groove halfway through the '73 run and kept it up all the way through '74 and a wee bit of '75. The magic started to go downhill after that, IMO.
Downhill in what way??? Because you didn't like the direction it took? It certainly did NOT go "downhill" in popularity, cultural significance, or ratings!
@@Tre404 Oh, I get it. Others are not allowed to have their own opinions about a show, and must conform to the mainstream status quo. Adios, groupthinker!
75? You are a few years off. It went down hill , because of 2 things. Over saturation with both a day time , and evening versions. And Richard Dawson leaving to host his own show. At the start he did both , but that didn't last long.
Finally! I've been waiting to see this episode since I started watching in 2005! Another week I'd like to see is with Valerie Bertinelli, if you're ever able to locate those. I know those episodes have clearance issues, but, I'm sure they're out there!
Probably the original tape had sticky tape syndrome which made the tape squeal while going across the playback head because the original tape had lost its lubrication properties.
@@amberola1b That wouldn't surprise me, the tapes they used back then while good for the time were prone to failures like that and to make it worse they weren't cheap either so they tried to get as much use out of each tape before it inevitably failed.
She probably grew old, like the rest of us. I saw this episode as a 16 year old when first aired. I'm 65 now. My hair was just like the contestant Gita''s---long and dark. Still is today. (Jan Griffiths).
Gene's fashion sense is all mixed up too. He broke all the fashion "rules" even for the 70's. The only thing I never saw him do was wear platform shoes that were popular in the late 70s. I did see him wear ruby red shoes which was a bold choice. You go Gene!
I guessing they were trying the intros with different ways to see what they liked and didn't liked. They did the same thing with MGPM a couple of times, started the theme in the middle a couple of times and decided they didn't like it that way.. ;0)
It's nice to see what happened to the lady that won quite a few games before being retired. It's a little jarring when you're watching Buzzr and a contestant suddenly disappears between episodes (not counting the time in 1978 when a contestant had to leave because of a family emergency). I thought of Doctor Who for the Super Match, but it was still relatively young in 1973 (ten years old!) and wouldn't have really been known in America yet like it would be when Tom Baker took over two years later.
Match Game Productions mentioned below that the credits (and tag) for the previous episode were used for the end of this episode. It's so weird to see that everyone's clothes were completely different.
ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Bob! ;0) Interesting, and I just noticed, that Johnny isn't mentioning what show the stars are from yet, another change coming I guess.. ;0) Strange edited after Gene introduction.. ;0) Richard next to last to finish.. ;0) ROFL!

If this is from a HiFi audio VHS tape, adjusting the tracking control or using the linear audio track might clear up the problem (unless it was rerecorded that way).
Discretions have been terrible! They missed a couple of words every time except for this time! MARY would like to win a blank on the price is right. Now there they say price is right and gives you an inclination of where you are going! I’m also sick of hearing MARY and JOHN on every question. But this question finally gave you an impulse of where it was going.
interesting backstory with "the waltons" (richard thomas and michael learned) - at this point (in it's first year) most people didn't think the waltons would survive, (it ran for 9 seasons) cbs in it's infinite corporate stupidity was influenced by a ridiculous 1972 congressional hearing about the "quality" of television and started to purge urban (progressive) shows. the waltons were a political pawn by cbs to appease congress (and anxious white conservatives). most audiences were unaware of the behind the scenes cultural fight for the "conscience of america", the smothers brothers had been infamously cancelled (1969) over their argument with cbs about censorship. america was still knee deep in the 1960's culture war. the country was still culturally and generationally divided. hundreds of kids were still coming home in body bags from vietnam, massive demonstrations, a racist backlash to civil rights and integration, the sexual revolution, women's rights, and nobody on prime time television was allowed to talk about any of it.
Yes, and it’s interesting to hear Gene make comments about inflation and the trying economic times people were experiencing. The money seems low to us (and the prices on TPIR seem ridiculously low) but to the people at the time it was a shock. Similar to what we’re going through now. Makes me wonder what kind of reaction future generations will have to time capsule shows featuring the 2020s.😮
The wardrobes were all (or mostly) changed for Gene's sign-off. Was this how it originally aired, or did you splice that in because of the audio issue?

Think about this: All the petroleum used to make polyester during the 1970s could've been used for fuel instead, thus preventing the Energy Crisis of the 1970s.
Probably true. And now, instead of making more fuel efficient cars, they’ve going to “hybrid” vehicles which means we’ve regressed to mining precious metals. The car I bought in 1998 is more fuel efficient than any new car today, even some of the hybrids. Insane.

Sadly she passed away in 2014, aged 70. Still beautiful.
I am understanding the different fashion back then, much of it I Iike, but I am having difficulty to comprehend Richard Thomas’s costume. 😐
Gene's fashion sense is all mixed up too. He broke all the fashion "rules" even for the 70's. The only thing I never saw him do was wear platform shoes that were popular in the late 70s. I did see him wear ruby red shoes which was a bold choice. You go Gene!
That's really interesting that they played the main theme during the intro.

For some reason I like the main theme as the intro.
Wow, was that "ketchup" question a difficult one for Round 2. Endless possibilities.
Go Gita! Go Gita! Go Gita!
I wonder why the panel swapped seats after this episode?
Tubewings they were experimenting to see what worked best. Remember, this is only the 7th episode!
It's nice to see what happened to the lady that won quite a few games before being retired. It's a little jarring when you're watching Buzzr and a contestant suddenly disappears between episodes (not counting the time in 1978 when a contestant had to leave because of a family emergency).
I thought of Doctor Who for the Super Match, but it was still relatively young in 1973 (ten years old!) and wouldn't have really been known in America yet like it would be when Tom Baker took over two years later.

Looks like it was spliced on by whomever uploaded this. There also is a bad edit in the first segment that may not have been in the original.
When did the questions stop being so lame?
How is it that Gene’s clothes were different in the last segment when he signed off?

interesting backstory with "the waltons" (richard thomas and michael learned) - at this point (in it's first year) most people didn't think the waltons would survive, (it ran for 9 seasons) cbs in it's infinite corporate stupidity was influenced by a ridiculous 1972 congressional hearing about the "quality" of television and started to purge urban (progressive) shows. the waltons were a political pawn by cbs to appease congress (and anxious white conservatives).
most audiences were unaware of the behind the scenes cultural fight for the "conscience of america", the smothers brothers had been infamously cancelled (1969) over their argument with cbs about censorship. america was still knee deep in the 1960's culture war. the country was still culturally and generationally divided. hundreds of kids were still coming home in body bags from vietnam, massive demonstrations, a racist backlash to civil rights and integration, the sexual revolution, women's rights, and nobody on prime time television was allowed to talk about any of it.

Gene really liked Arlene Francis. I suspect he was the main reason she was on.
She was on the original MatchGame many times. She was a professional game show celebrity the 60's.
Funny that Gene had a blue suit on during the show and then closed it out with a brown suit. Obviously the ending is from another episode.
Main title theme. Usually opening theme should start.
The wardrobes were all (or mostly) changed for Gene's sign-off. Was this how it originally aired, or did you splice that in because of the audio issue?

What do you mean by "rare episode?" It's no more or less "rare" than any other episode, which only aired once. I love this channel!

The idiot celebrities conspired to sabotage Gerry with blatantly stupid answers to easy questions because she kept winning, but couldn't match for the big money. It was the first questions that gave away their motives. Ironic this episode had problems. Karma exists.
Don't pick a Walton.

Think about this: All the petroleum used to make polyester during the 1970s could've been used for fuel instead, thus preventing the Energy Crisis of the 1970s.
I get your drift. Hemp is much better and natural, but they outlawed that.
Probably true.
And now, instead of making more fuel efficient cars, they’ve going to “hybrid” vehicles which means we’ve regressed to mining precious metals. The car I bought in 1998 is more fuel efficient than any new car today, even some of the hybrids. Insane.
