So many ppl bash Fannie for her spelling...unless you know somebody personally with dyslexia you wouldn't understand how hard it is on them as well ... I have a cousin who is dyslexic, only thing Fannie didn't have that she has is Google where she can check the word spelling
H/H match update and End-of-Week Recap: ... ~~~Today's Action: Our challenger cruises to a second victory. Today's audience match question: "Belle of ________ " (My thoughts: the ball, Amherst, Atlanta) The celebs: Fannie (the ball), Charles (Amherst), Richard (New Orleans) The choice: The Ball The answers: St. Mary's, the South, the Ball This is the second time in a row when our contestant scores $500 with Fannie's suggestion. Now the big question. Will she choose to play "Let's Match Richard Dawson" again? (They didn't match last time.) This was an odd way to choose Richard. She seemed to hint that she felt obligated to call on Richard. Maybe she thinks she is, given Richard has been the only choice since episode 887. At any rate, this is now King Richard's 31st consecutive time playing the H/H, and he's been chosen 54 of the past 56 times. (Charles answered the remaining two questions.) Looking back, Richard has matched 42 of his 108 most recent attempts (38.9%), 25 of his last 65 attempts (38.5%), and 5 of his last 15 attempts (33.3%). For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 33 of his 65 attempts (50.8%), Fannie has matched 13 of her 26 attempts (50.0%), and Brett has matched 28 of her 68 attempts (41.2%). Today's H/H question: "Della _______ " (It's got to be Della Reese. She sat next to Richard on the MG panel for 15 episodes: 6-10, 796-800, and 886-890, the last of which wasn't all that long ago. What else is there? Della Street, the fictional secretary of Perry Mason?) Richard quickly files his card. Our new champion looks confident as Gene prepares to ask for her answer. I think we have a likely winner today! Yes, our champ gives the predicted answer (and receives a big round of applause). I bet that Richard will give the same answer. Yes, he does! Good thing spelling doesn't count, given Richard misspelled the singer/actress's name: "Reece" [sic]. Richard scores his 241st H/H match today. ~~~The Week that Was: Not a particularly glorious week in the H/H match department. On "Monday" time ran out without a Super-Match, and then the first audience match on "Tuesday" turned out to be a complete bust, so we lost a H/H question there. We ended up with only two matches this week: Richard 2/4 Yup, our sixth consecutive all-Richard H/H week. Quickly recapping this week's panelists: *Richard* matched two out of four attempts this week, which is above average for him, and he ends the week just slightly below Brett on the leader board. Speaking of *Brett* , she sat idle for the twelfth consecutive week. *Charles* sat idle for his sixth week, holding steady at 50.8%, still the highest H/H accuracy score of all celebs with "mature" stats. (Orson Bean, Gary Burghoff, Jo Anne Worley, and Joyce Bulifant all currently have higher accuracy scores, but those scores are based on very limited data.) *Fannie* Flagg finished her 55th week of 90 without a chance to break her long-standing tie with Betty on the H/H leader board. *Mary* Wickes completed her sixth week (of 14), still waiting for her first shot at the H/H. And *Peter* Isacksen completed his one and only week on the Match Game panel without playing the H/H. He was a decent player and a his personality was a good fit for the show. It's a shame he never returned... ~~~Looking ahead to next week, these are faces we'll see joining our trusty regulars on the panel: -----Semi-regular Joyce Bulifant will return after five weeks away. This will be her 25th week of 38. She sits very near the top of our leader board in a long-standing tie with Jo Anne Worley (both have matched 3 times out of 4 attempts). Since Jo Anne has "retired" from MG, it's up to Joyce to be chosen to break the tie! -----Orson Bean will be back for his 13th week (of 16). We last saw Orson in episodes 866-870, and of course, we see him every day at the top of the big Leader Board, although he's only been chosen four times for the H/H, he's matched every single one of them! -----Finally, Lynda Day George will return for her third and final week on the panel. It's been a while since we last saw Lynda (in episodes 441-445, back in 1975). She hasn't yet been chosen to answer a H/H question. ~~~Finally, here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 71.4% (5 wins in 7 attempts). Charles - 50.8% (33 wins in 65 attempts). TIE: Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). TIE: Fannie - 50.0% (13 wins in 26 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Brett - 41.2% (28 wins in 68 attempts). Richard - 41.1% (241 wins in 586 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 920, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, and 910. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!") -- Also, note that episode 849 was never produced.
This is the March 10, 1977 episode of the American TV show "Match Game" and it's during the CBS version (with a year number attached to the Match Game title). 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
Be nice to Brett she and Charles are best friends she loves Charles and Charles loves Brett and Brett loves gene Rayburn rest in peace Brett and Charles have fun in heaven from your lawyer Robin
Here are the results for this week: Richard won again giving away the most money at a total of $10,500. Fannie gave away $1,000 and Brett also gave away $500. Brett won for the most matches at a total of 12. Richard came in second matching 11, Charles and Fannie matched 8 times, Mary matched 6 times, and Peter matched 5 times.
What was wrong with that audience the day of the survey? They should have remembered the many discussions of CNR directing The Bell of Amherst. Even more so, most or all of the MG regulars financially supported it.
So some of the Match Game panellists put up money for CNR to stage The Bell of Amherst. That was nice of them. I wonder who didn't? *COUGH* Brett *COUGH*
Ugh! Fannie is so obviously this gal’s favorite weirdo but she’s got it stuck in her head that she’s got to choose Richard for the head to head because that’s what nearly everybody does and Gene does very little to disabuse her of this erroneous notion.
Wow, the orange that looked like Anita Bryant, the original anti-gay crusader! No need to point out why that would draw the ire of various Match Game panelists! Of course, nowadays, the answer would be an even more annoying orange person.
I love Brett's jacket, it's like orange cream color. ❤️
16:35 Fanny says "Towanda". She is the writer of Fried Green Tomatoes.
Dyslexia is a tough thing. I believe a viewer pointed this out to Fannie and she finally knew what the heck was going on.
I'm sure Larry got very excited when he heard that he'll be getting "a whole bunch of pantyhose coming his way!" LOL
Ha.
So many ppl bash Fannie for her spelling...unless you know somebody personally with dyslexia
you wouldn't understand how hard it is on them as well ... I have a cousin who is dyslexic, only thing Fannie didn't have that she has is Google where she can check the word spelling
Fannie is one of my favorites! She always has clever one liners!
Dyslexia is well known now but at that time, it wasn’t in the common understanding.
Didn't Fannie find out about dyslexia by someone seeing her writing and sending her a letter?
@@miccal99 Correct.
When Larry said he was a song and dance man he sounded like James Cagney from "Yankee Doodle Dandy." i liked hum.
I met James Cagney in person, at his home.
I was glad to see Fannie get a kiss for her Super-Match answer!
She seemed to be hitting on her in an earlier ep. I def think she enjoyed it.
LOL “You look like Death of a Salesman.”
Poor Sally. Instead of taking birth control pills, she took Vitamin C tablets, and 9 months later she gave birth to a 6-pound orange!! 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊
Gene Rayburn will be missed!!

Is Peter Issacson still alive ? I absolutely love Mary Wicks ❤️ she is such a great actress rest in peace Sweet Sweet dear Mary
Yes. He will turn 70 this yr. He does more producing these days than acting.
This is the March 10, 1977 episode of the American TV show "Match Game" and it's during the CBS version (with a year number attached to the Match Game title). 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
And so ends Peter Isacksen's only week on Match Game.
Not much of a loss. Never heard of him or his show, and he didn't leave much of an impression here.
Looks like Bob Lazar or Stephen King
@@KQwest98 I thought he looked like one of the Proclaimers.
@@CousinOresama For 22 yrs. old, he did pretty good for himself.
Funny how she thought Gene wanted her to say "Richard" for the 1 on 1. Maybe because contestants choose Richard so many times!
When this guy said he was single, I bet Charles got very excited! LOL
Tony Assino don’t be a hater it doesn’t become you
Why? He didn't look very attractive.
the lady on the left reminds me of Susan Saint James from McMillan and Wife :)
and the new guy reminds me of a cross between Peter Gabriel and Malcolm McDowall :)
Be honnest, us future viewers and prolly most comtemperary viewers prolly thought "Though your butt!" lol
Jannel made it sound like she was required to pick Richard! Maybe Gene should have made it very clear each time that they could pick anyone
Be nice to Brett she and Charles are best friends she loves Charles and Charles loves Brett and Brett loves gene Rayburn rest in peace Brett and Charles have fun in heaven from your lawyer Robin
I'm laughing my arse off with gene saying nobody's twenty two anymore, as I'm sure a good deal of us are not
Here are the results for this week:
Richard won again giving away the most money at a total of $10,500.
Fannie gave away $1,000 and Brett also gave away $500.

How come the bottom row gets it first run and the top row needs to hear it twice, every time
I think it is because they that fans on the ceiling & they can not hear them well, as far as I know
To busy talking and not listening.
Is it just me, or does Larry look like a cross between Anthony Hopkins and Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor?
Looks quite a bit like Frank Gorshin, too.
Now that you've said it, I see it. Good eye.
It's just you.
No, neither.
Looks like Alan Sues
Does anyone else do this? I realized I am, hoping Sandra wins just so I can see her stand up in profile!
Larry sounds very happily gay as well
her first rounder wasn't tough. it had just 1 real answer. idk why it was a round 1 Q
He was 22-year old in 1977 and so was I. Peter was born in December 1954, I was born in August 1955.
some contestants just dont get it. i sometimes faulter too tho
I don't want THAT pizza that CNR describes. I don't want THAT kind of SAUSAGE!!!
So some of the Match Game panellists put up money for CNR to stage The Bell of Amherst. That was nice of them. I wonder who didn't? *COUGH* Brett *COUGH*
Anthony Hobson actually Brett did !❤️
she did!
She did!
Don't be nasty. Brett and Charles were great friends. Brett would of. You're just out to be nasty towards Brett for no reason.
They were best friends until he died the original Karen and jack
He looks like his mom
Brett is still annoying and distracting to the others trying to come up with an answer....Plus a hog for TV time.
Brett is constantly trying to grab time with lame shticks. It gets really tiresome.
I agree
Same stupid motel remark over and over. So sick of Brett.
I thought the Vitamin C question was so easy. Automatic slam dunk. I felt sorry for the contestant. She made it even worse with her horrible grammar.
Ugh! Fannie is so obviously this gal’s favorite weirdo but she’s got it stuck in her head that she’s got to choose Richard for the head to head because that’s what nearly everybody does and Gene does very little to disabuse her of this erroneous notion.
Wow, the orange that looked like Anita Bryant, the original anti-gay crusader! No need to point out why that would draw the ire of various Match Game panelists! Of course, nowadays, the answer would be an even more annoying orange person.
I heard that Fannie couldn't spell and you can sure see that in her answer. Looks like Rita Danger or something. Dyslexia strikes again.
Oh, and who might that be? Pray tell.
Richard can be so mean to Brett. Not even good natured humor that he throws at her. I can understand completely why Brett didn't like him.
Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50?
