Interesting choice of using Captain BLANK for the Final Match when it was used as the Super Match on episode 15 with the same exact contestant. He went with the top answer and unfortunately Jo Ann wasn't on that panel.
Funny how Shelley and Barbara have been playing musical chairs. I wonder what the story is behind their switching places and then switching back again.
According to a November 1975 interview in the Thousand Oaks Star, Helena went on to be the second female in the State of California to be hired as a recreation sports coordinator. I guess she was a trailblazer also.
It's pretty amazing Joanne didn't say captain" kangaroo" since ( the show must have forgotten) they had given him the word "captain" on one his earlier games, and "kangaroo" was the winning word.
Yep, and Jeff said Kangaroo because he missed on it during the earlier Super Match. That seems wrong that Captain Kangaroo burned the same guy twice in his run as champion.
Free spirit flying. Dayton ;0) ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! :0) Her was specific the panelist were general, they don't matched specifics with generals.. Not taking the first response as an answer yet.. ;0) Funny that Gene isn't saying that the head to head has to be an exact match yet I just noticed.. ;0)
Anyone else mishear Donna when she said "peanuts" Also...what was Dick Gautier's deal about George Maharis? This is the 2nd time he mentioned him, lol.
Its funny cause I have the same last name, AND of Indian descent, Cherokee and Seminole to be exact. I got a huge kick out of Shelley’s question!! Too bad she couldn’t finish what she was going to say. Also, super cool to hear my last name spoken by Gene, it’s not a common name by far
@@someguy-k2h Nope. For awhile I was just watching each episode in the channel's playlist and counting how often Richard matched or didn't match. There are a few commenters who always say Dawson sucked at the game and never matched, so I wanted to test the theory. It seemed to me like he started slow and matched more often as time went on. I always was a fan of Richard and don't get the hate people dump on him.
Mmm... If, as the guy in the background who changed the score mid game says (correctly), a "nude" can be a man OR a woman, then for all those who wrote "nude" or "nudes" the female contestant who said "a nude girl" SHOULD have scored a point as a nude girl is a man or a woman. So, she would have won the first round; and that could have been a game changer. Too late to write in and complain I guess. ;)
throughout the run of the show there were always some very questionable judgments, and they must have been changing judges regularly because they aren't consistent in the kinds of things they rule against.
@@sdlively27You hit the nail on the "BLANK " .You are absolutely right. You would think the contestants would learn to be more general with their answers in future episodes, but they don't
All this twiddling-with-words business hadn't really started yet. Shelley Winters was clearly not being rude. Maybe the generations from the near future will be as "understanding" of you as you are of the recent past.

@@LynxSouth ... yup, I was a kid in the 1970s and back then the term "Native American" was not yet en vogue ... in fact, it was like that until the advent of "pc" in the early 1990s ...
Jo Ann was so pretty and sweet. She always brightened up the panel.

The judge not accepting "nudes" was absolutely ridiculous!
I agree. However, it was how the standards and the thinking were back then.
Thats how the rules were, you cant match a general with a specific. If she said "nude" she wouldve also matched nude man and nude woman.
I REALLY struck out with the centerfold question, I was almost certain everyone would say Richard Nixon
"Peanuts" was definitely not what I heard the first time! 🤣
Same! I almost gagged on my food when I heard it.
Funny how Shelley and Barbara have been playing musical chairs. I wonder what the story is behind their switching places and then switching back again.
Ira Skutch, the judge, was wildly inconsistent.
Legend has it he was bipolar

@@RobertBowman-j7cmaybe funniest on the match game but i couldn't say ever. Lou Costello and George Carlin are two that beat Richard IMHO.

Helena Littlefield is a stone cold fox!!! 🤪❤️🦊
It seemed that sometimes the panel wasn't serious with their answers. Some contestants would have a hard time winning.
They jsut did Captain blank a few episodes earlier
Yes......You think Joann would've thought of Kangaroo.
Yep, and Jeff said Kangaroo because he missed on it during the earlier Super Match. That seems wrong that Captain Kangaroo burned the same guy twice in his run as champion.
Somebody goofed.

I wanted to see more of Helena. Rivaled only by Jo Ann here.
Shelley wasn't the brightest bulb in the pack, was she. 🤣
If Littlefield isn't Indian -- then what is it?!
She looked Indian as well.
So, where's Shelley gonna be in the next one, out in the audience?
Who is this guy, the poor mans Jack Klugman?
Jack Carter was funnier than crabby Klugman, who always seemed to be yelling. Uuugh
No, legit, looks just like him. I thought that too
It’s ironic that Shelly said, “Burt Reynolds,” because my sister had one in her college apartment. 😂
This is the first time I’ve noticed the ash trays, but I don’t recall ever seeing someone smoking on the show.
Charles usually smoked a pipe or a cigar on the show
Timestamp? I haven't seen ash trays on the show
@@ACDBunnie I've seen ash trays on numerous shows, but they always look clean and empty.
@@ACDBunnie They're next to the name plates.
Richard Dawson also smoked on the show.
Anyone else mishear Donna when she said "peanuts"
Also...what was Dick Gautier's deal about George Maharis? This is the 2nd time he mentioned him, lol.
He lost out to Maharis for Route 66 and never let it go
Uh, yes. Me too.
Yes....,peanuts......lol
I'eeeeeee..... didn't hear 'pea nut'
Did you check out Shelley Winters’ drawing??
I miss those 70's hairy boxes.
🤣😂🤣👏
The bush is back baby
What the deuce?
Wasn't much different then than it is now.. You just didn't have 24/7 access to the evidence back then.
1:03 Who's looking at the seat cover jacket? Dick Gautier's got moves!
The judge is drunk.
Helena looks like she might have some Native American people in her ‘cause she is so lovely and beautiful 🥰
Shelly asked if she was Indian (cringe) she said no.
Did Shelly Winters appear as a panelist again?
Spoilers in the titles SUCK. Stop that!
This is how that exchange should have gone:
Winters: Are you and Indian?
Littleton: Close, a Pakistani
It was Littlefield.
Shelley asked asked and she replied she was not.
Helena was gorgeous!
She looked like she was already in the 1980s. Very chic.
Helena had an amazing tan.
WOw. If anyone asked a contestant today if they were "an Indian" it would be cut out or the person who asked would be called a racist or some such.
??? why , it's no big deal
Progressives claim asking someone what race they are or 'where they are from' is racist. Some schools are even teaching that now.
yet another sign of The Apocalypse
I would have thought they’d remove it just because it didn’t add anything to tr show...poor Shelley can’t contain herself.
Its funny cause I have the same last name, AND of Indian descent, Cherokee and Seminole to be exact. I got a huge kick out of Shelley’s question!! Too bad she couldn’t finish what she was going to say.

Geoff Nichols would have given all of the money back if he could have taken Joann home with him.
Jonathan C Back home with the fat wife, Jo Ann is a persistent memory. Ohhhh, Jo Ann.
@@clayz1 And to think, Chuck kicked her to the curb

Ok, then give it to me.
Helena: Why no Shelley, are you Polish?
All this twiddling-with-words business hadn't really started yet. Shelley Winters was clearly not being rude. Maybe the generations from the near future will be as "understanding" of you as you are of the recent past.
The best thing about these early episodes: NO BRET SOMERS!
I was thinking the very same thing.
She and the Mary Hartmann lady always did their best not to match.
I never liked how she would take up so much time explaining her dumb answers. She was good comic relief with CNR, tho
Brett Somers was integral to match game.
Yes more peaceful and fun episodes.
Are you an Indian? No, Native American 🙌

Bad idea of describing the show in the titles. Before watching, we already know what's going to happen and who's going to win, so why watch it?
they should make the super matches have to rhyme. For instance in this one, chowder powder
