I love this show. These are great contestants and celebrities. And it's interesting to see the older products they mention at the end. This time... It's two things that are still around and relevant. I think that's so cool.
In addition to appearing on a few episodes of Match Game 73, Bert Convy also appeared on an episode in 1974 to promote the TV game show Tattletales (which aired directly after Match Game on most CBS stations). Convy was also supposed to host the 1990 reboot of Match Game that aired on ABC, but was diagnosed with cancer shortly after taping the pilot and was replaced by Ross Shafer. Convy died less than a year later, on July 22, 1991.
@Nelson Robert Willis Sorry - I took my reply down because half the time someone misinterprets what I said and gives me lip. It probably wouldn't have happened in this case but ... You should see the African Queen. It was made long before I was born, but it is a true classic. I don't even like Katherine Hepburn all that much (that's bound to get me some hate commentary-or Kate hommentary🤪), but I've watched that film like 10 times.
Gene got the reference to "pretty dimples" right this time. Later in the series he'll come to regret trying to compliment another woman in the same way!
Willy Wonka makes a cameo appearance. They should have played more of that theme tune and louder. The thinking up answer tune helps them focus in on the right answer.
I know how BRETT got her job. Somebody was asking about this one of us commentators, she got her job because Jack Klugman was on match game, He was also shooting Quincy, and there was another show. He was shooting at the same time also trying to make it to match game for his seat. So he spoke to Johnny and Ira and also Gene, And asked them, if BRETT can go on the show because he’s just too tied up. And he wanted her to get out of the house also because he said all she does is sit around home and drink. She got her seat on MG.
This WAS a long time ago, having watched this once already and I never noticed that Nipsey or anyone chose African American. Also and especially I can't believe I never said how beautiful Cathy is
Oh man....I just watched Richard in another episode wearing that same jacket and commented he looked like Captain Kangaroo. This episode he called himself out. Richard did you hear me? Great Scott! Kathy looks a lot like Siti Nurhaliza, a singer from Malaysia

Do you think a white man from South Africa or Rhodesia who immigrated to the United States and became a US citizen would be referred to as "African-American"?
Nelson: Outside of the universities and media circles, I don't think people really care. We know which terms are polite and which are impolite. Common sense alone is enough.
You sure said it, Nelson. What I llike most about old TV programmes like this is that people didn't take this stuff too seriously. WE can just watch and have fun. Happy New Year!
Brett was very annoying. She must have had esteem issues. She tries too hard to be funny and interrupts too often. Her grabbing other’s cards would have driven me nuts. She couldn’t keep her hands to herself
But that was just brett being brett, she had a hard adult life and she just wanted so much to be happy. Married many times, and jack klugman was mean to her.
@@billyrobertson7881 I think childhood as well as she ran away from home at and change her first name to Brett and took her mothers maiden name.. I have to check on that tho..
Why does Gene say this ridiculous patter about the choice between 'A' and 'B' -- and the suggested possible difference between them? Nobody knows anything about the 'difficulty' of any question whether in A or B: in fact it's totally random, and either A or B could give rise to an unfair (because too open-ended) question. I wonder why his 'defence' is part of the script. It's nonsense.
Love Bert Convy! It was great watching Match Game back to back with Bert's show TATTLETALES back in the 70's!
I used to watch this game in my teens. Takes me back . . .
Me too!📺🎬📽
I've only seen Match Game here in TH-cam 2022... and I grew up on Family Feud, Price is Right during the mid-late 70s
everyone did
Me too.

On this date in 1957, The Tonight show with Steve Allen with Gene Rayburn aired it's last episode.

I just love it when Gene genuinely laughs at what he's reading!
"Bob accidentally swallowed his harmonica. Now he plays 'Melancholy Baby' thru his BLANK!" He could barely get through it. 😝
Gene should have had a monitor backstage, so he could see the funny stuff the celebs wrote on the cards and held up when they were introduced.
my goodness Kathy/Cathy is breathtaking
Most likely the prettiest 👧 in every classroom all her life
Go for it. She's up for grabs. Hope you're into the gout, varicose veins and liquid lunches
@@joeambrose3260 lmao 🤣 some ppl are into that 🤷♂️
Cute. What a babe!
Flawless! Even dimples! 😻🌹
Wow, dig that Fro Bro!
diverbob33 it's dyno-mite
He wants to be a game show host. I'd hire him. He comes with his own built-in microphone.
Gene mentions the contestants “cute dimples”, a phrase that would, with an unfortunate misspeak with a later contestant, cause him much consternation.
Brett must've been wearing a wig, she offered to lend her hair to Gene.
Oh yea....then at 12:10 she says she can hear through her wig.
I told you Bert would be back! Fifth week for him.
Everyone's a returnee as stated above. No need for expansive notes for this week.
I first read that as "expensive", lol
How times have changed that they were so shocked that Richard answered with "ass" while the audience gasps and laughs.
Now, we've had an imbecile in the Oval Office who says fuck in his rally rants. No class AT ALL!
That's what you call a burro. No big deal. LoL.
How could actors not think of African Queen?

@Randall Denison That's the first thing *I* thought of!
I like that girl with the with white blouse plaid skirt. She is pretty, I like the girl with the dark hair.

yes, "pretty nipples."
@@tomitstube Is that what he said?
@@kentclark6420th-cam.com/video/TmPB0MSZ5t0/w-d-xo.html
I'm surprised they didn't bleep that out!
Was that the "you have pretty nipples" comment?
Willy Wonka makes a cameo appearance.
They should have played more of that theme tune and louder.

Forgot to say Ann Elder was perfect today with a 2 attempts to 2 matches in the front game.. ;0) I think that is the first of the season..

Gene doesn’t have the microphone in his hand that he’d later have.
Sea Breeze, or Sea Wall is what I thought.
This WAS a long time ago, having watched this once already and I never noticed that Nipsey or anyone chose African American. Also and especially I can't believe I never said how beautiful Cathy is
That term really didn't become used on a wide scale until everyone started hyphenating everything 30 years ago.
Diane looks so cute with her hair down to a normal height.
I thought of Sea World for the super match question.
@Nelson Robert Willis Sea Shell is good, I did not even think of that at all.
Lion

Bert was gorgeous and Ann is lovely!
Oh man....I just watched Richard in another episode wearing that same jacket and commented he looked like Captain Kangaroo. This episode he called himself out. Richard did you hear me? Great Scott!

Close but no cigar. The great Captain always wore brite red with white piping.
@@ts.elliot5870 regardless
Richard wears that polka dot shirt a lot.
Ann Elder...😍
I would have loved to date Kathy stone.

Way prettier

Kathy is cute!
Wow, what a “FRO”😂😊
African Queen should have been under the 500 slot
His HORSE OR CAT
I'm lost in Cathy's dimples!
The power of milk and other dairy products gave American women nice curves back. Today it's Botox.
She is cute. I'm lost in Bert's
The length of that skirt, What length?
5:34. Foreshadowing anyone?
Diane was cute. She looked like she could be Betty White's sister.

I suppose the term "African-American" wasn't used yet in1973
Correct. Term was "black" then, having replaced "negro" sometime in the 1960s.
Do you think a white man from South Africa or Rhodesia who immigrated to the United States and became a US citizen would be referred to as "African-American"?
I still (in 2019) say Negro or Coloured, as well as Black. Nobody of any colour gives me grief over it.

oh, dimples.......
He said the sheriff is near....🤠🤠
Big afros then.
Those cutsie girls came on these game shows hoping to get "discovered" just because they were cutsie. 🙄

Funny how most answers could of been "His D--K"
I don’t like how condescending Gene is when talking to young girls They are not a child getting a cookie. He doesn’t use that tone when it is a guy.

Where did they ever get Bret? She’s no star! Her voice gets on my nerves!
I disagree. I think she does a great job.
