20:30 I never saw Gene's microphone fall apart like that before. I never thought I'd see anything like that to a Sony ECM-51. I have one and fortunately, that's never happened to me.
Lucky! I’ve been trying to get my hands on one. I now have a Sanyo “Stick Microphone” which telescopes. Hopefully it works, and will be a nice budget stand in, for the more rare telescoping microphone!
My goodness what a smart, funny, compelling show. You know, if it were brought back in 2021 -- in prime time, mind you -- it'd probably do great all over again.
@@ts.elliot5870 I don't remember writing the original comment and I don't agree with myself: The world doesn't hang on the same hooks as it did in the 1970s and while some comedy is 100x better, a lot of the basic architecture of this show wouldn't fly now. And I don't just mean the risque lines and behaviour, either: The very concept of the thing wouldn't work, I don't think.
@@CinemaDemocratica I agree with this comment. I think the show was a product and a reflection of its time, and our world and culture have simply changed too much for this format to be successfully recreated today. But the original shows remain a fascinating and entertaining time capsule into how we dressed, spoke, thought, and behaved nearly 50 years ago.
It's funny how Gene always gives the audience trouble for trying to influence the contestants with their answers, and then this time he basically tells the contestant to choose Gary Burghoff as the answer since he's on the show. Big surprise when it wasn't the $500 answer.
The science fiction nerd in me thought of Logan's Run, though I knew it wouldn't match. Wikipedia shows that the movie didn't come out until the next year (1976), but there was a novel from 1967. Still, I'm not surprised it didn't come up.
H/H match update: (Spoilers) ~~~~~ Here are the H/H stats for the PM series so far: Star: Matches/Attempts/Match % Charles: 1/1/100% Brett: 1/1/100% Richard: 4/7/57.1% Betty: 0/1/0% *Includes the results of all head-to-head matches in the "Match Game PM" series from episode 1 through episode 10.

Richard won again giving away 18,500 dollars in head to head and audience matches with 14 matches for the regulars. Fannie won for the semi regulars with 3 matches. Brett gave away 11,500 dollars in head to head and audience match matches. Charles gave away 100 dollars in an audience match match.
That was *really* funny -- one of my favourite clean moments from the entire sweep of the show. (My all-time favourite being when the clue was "___ Lloyd," and McClean Stevenson said, "Frank Lloyd" so then Gene said, "Frank Lloyd?" and McClean said, "...Right." :D :D :D )
At the quart mark of of season 1 the top 5 money givers are 1. Richard Dawson 35,500 dollars, 2. Brett Somers 12,000 dollars, 3. Charles Nelson Reilly 11,100 dollars, 4. Betty White/Clifton Davis 500. These are the only ones that have given away money so far this season. So far the season total is 59,600 dollars.
True Richard was,smart but FEW PEOPLE noticehe nearly ALWAYS WAS ASKED FOR THE FIRST ANSWER..ALWAYS THE EASIEST..he often gets brain fog if he has to answer to # 3...c Count the number of times..ureal..AND HE GIVES AWAY NO $$$$ the show does r That..Rip Richard
My opinion is the ensemble is what made it work so well. The core cast of characters including Johnny O., Gene, Brett, Charles and Richard...plus the assorted celebs that came and went really gelled for a great show.
I was 15 & in the 10th grade when this aired. Then I got married 2 years later in April of my Junior year in 1977. And then my late ExWife & I had our first daughter 6 months later.
I've been noticing that Gene tells the departing contestants that they'll receive a GIFT (singular), while during the daytime show it's always GIFTS (plural). I wonder why that is? Seems odd to by stingy on the PM show when otherwise they're giving away more money (with 2 audience match questions and easier H/H questions), plus the gifts are provided by companies in exchange for a plug on the program (at the end), so those gifts don't really cost the producers anything.

@@traemcpherson7266 I've never seen that before.
That's what made this show so special you never knew what was going to happen next!

It'd be hard to recreate the chemistry.

Gene Rayburn was the perfect fit to host this show….
7:50 - i love charles, he’s my favourite regular panelist.
Betty’s my favourite semi-regular
The answer to every Superman question is always S.
And for every Cleopatra question, it's always a carefully pronounced "Asp."
I'm shocked richard didn't think of homerun. It was the first thing that popped into my mind...and apparently, Paul's. Bummer.
Richard is a Brit they don't play baseball there. Maybe that had something to do with Richard's answer.

Gary is only wearing those glasses as a desperate attempt to be more like the cool kids on the upper tier.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The audience seems to be in a fun mood after the commercials. It would've been nice to see a live show.
Definitely!

Would love to hear Marc's audio on this episode when the mic fell apart! ;0) Something like OH! Cue music, 5 pull out and to black... ;0)
10:42... lol
Obvious; Paul the school teacher enjoyed himself as he laughed a lot (thinking he gave lousy answers), but he matched every celebrity panelist.
Richard really was the best of thing about this show...must have been a smart dude in real life...
True Richard was,smart but FEW PEOPLE noticehe nearly ALWAYS WAS ASKED FOR THE FIRST ANSWER..ALWAYS THE EASIEST..he often gets brain fog if he has to answer to # 3...c
Count the number of times..ureal..AND HE GIVES AWAY NO $$$$ the show does r
That..Rip Richard
Charles and Brett ROCKED
My opinion is the ensemble is what made it work so well. The core cast of characters including Johnny O., Gene, Brett, Charles and Richard...plus the assorted celebs that came and went really gelled for a great show.
I was in elementary / middle school during the Match Game years .
I was 15 & in the 10th grade when this aired. Then I got married 2 years later in April of my Junior year in 1977. And then my late ExWife & I had our first daughter 6 months later.
Same here you old fart
The teacher was a LGBT queen 👑

Paul was a carefree man.
Match game p.m. ) lol microphone 👍
At least it held till the end of the episode, well almost.
@@SteveHolsten As Brett mentioned on the DVD set,if something happened,they dealt with it as the director didn't yell CUT!
@@georgemaster689 Ok. Thanks.
@@SteveHolsten Sure thing!
The teacher's 'sublimate' comment was a little creepy..
Do we think that Paul liked girls or boys? No matter.
prince of peace would have been great
PRINCE OF PEACE! AMEN! Should have been on top
Bull run? Come on Richard.
These days I think the popular answer would be Prince of Persia.
BS for Dickie.
The Prince of Peace is the Lord Jesus Christ! "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isa. 9:6
