H/H match update for 1331 and preview of the week ahead: ... This is week 267 of our favorite classic game show (the show ends with week 291 and episode number 1455), so our final curtain feels like it's just around the corner. These episodes were taped on September 24, 1978, and originally aired in early November of 1978. This week, Brett & Charles are in their places with bright, shiny faces, and they're joined by: ~~~ Semi-regular *Joyce Bulifant* returns for her 36th week (of 38 total). Joyce last appeared in 1281-1285, so it's nice to see her again after 9 weeks off. Joyce scored her 4th head-to-head match in episode 1283, and so she stands near the top of the leader board at 4 matches in 5 attempts (80.0%). It'll be interesting to see if the wheel chooses Joyce this week. ~~~ *Elaine Joyce* is back for her 24th week (of 26 total). Elaine last visited in episodes 1271-1275. During that week, the wheel selected her twice (1272 and 1275), but she didn't score a match either of those times. Still, she's matched twice in her four total attempts, and one more match will advance her to big leader board. Looking back, Elaine occupied the sixth seat for a single week (episodes 241-245). I'm glad that experiment didn't lead anywhere, because although she'd be a decent sixth-seater, I prefer her in #4. ~~~ *David Doyle* returns for his 6th week (of 8 total). He last appeared in 1306-1310, and has always been (and will remain) in that first seat. (He never gets a shot in #5.) So far, the wheel has been avoiding David. During his most recent week, for example, the wheel chose CNR 3 times, and Debralee, Nipsey, and Betty once each. But I have the feeling he'll get a shot this week... ~~~ Last but not least, *Raymond Burr* makes his Match Game debut. But it's also his only week on the panel, and they put him in seat #5 no less! Had I been producing, I would've put David in 5 and Raymond in 1, but I guess the current arrangement makes some sense. Raymond does have a healthy measure of gravitas, and David works well in #1 next to Brett. It looks like it has the makings to be a great week, and I can't wait to see how it goes! ~~~Today's action: Right from the get-go, Raymond Burr looks out of place. For one, he's so big! His comment about checking the show out before he came leads me to believe that he's not terribly familiar with the concept and the answers, and his puzzled expression at 1:56 after hearing the first question makes me a little nervous. But my fears are allayed when he comes up with the matching (and most popular) answer to the first question, and he didn't copy from his lower-tier colleagues who both had silly answers! In fact, Raymond demonstrates a keen "Match Game" intellect (and seems to relax) during the protracted game that limps its way to a second tie-breaker. But in the end, our champion wins her second game. But with two tie-breakers, time has run out! No Super-Match today! Stay tuned tomorrow! ~~~Since there was no Super-Match, there's space today for the full list of all 54 celebrities who have so far scored a H/H match in Match Game '7x (in alphabetical order): Don Adams, Jack Albertson, Morey Amsterdam, Edward Asner, Patty Duke Astin, Bob Barker, Orson Bean, Charlie Brill, Joyce Bulifant, Gary Burghoff, Jack Carter, Bert Convy, Bill Daily, Clifton Davis, Richard Dawson, Lynn Deerfield, Patti Deutsch, Ann Elder, Fannie Flagg, Rosemary Forsyth, Bonnie Franklin, Stu Gilliam, Tab Hunter, Carolyn Jones, Elaine Joyce, George Kennedy, Jack Klugman, Michael Landon, June Lockhart, Allen Ludden, Lorrie Mahaffey, Robert Mandan, Lee Meriwether, Mary Ann Mobley, Richard Paul, Donna Pescow, Jo Ann Pflug, Charles Nelson Reilly, Madlyn Rhue, Susan Richardson, Nipsey Russell, Isabel Sanford, Avery Schreiber, Debralee Scott, Brett Somers, Kaye Stevens, McLean Stevenson, Trish Stewart, Loretta Swit, Richard Thomas, Bobby Van, Betty White, Mary Wickes, and Jo Anne Worley. ~~~And here's the complete list of all celebs (in alphabetical order) who have been chosen for the H/H match so far without matching: (An asterisk before their name indicates they've "retired" from MG, and their H/H stats are now complete.)

@@deannamerritt493 That is what I thought I heard but didn't want to ruin a good man ref if it wasn't even if he has since pasted.. ;0) I like him in Perry Mason and The Man Who Yesterday... ;0)
Elaine with "Pop Rocks" only this time it was an answer. She brought some in on a previous episode this year. Those little candies really took off in popularity.
Politically, I disagreed with Gene Rayburn completely. Having said that, he never let political crap interfere with putting on a good show. I miss those days. Just do your job, have fun, and leave political crap out of it. Today's entertainers don't get that. Look at Johnny Carson's interview with Mike Wallace. Way back then, Carson knew that his place was not to preach politics. Gene Rayburn understood that and was a warm, wonderful, and very kind man and I respect him for that. He had a weekly dinner with all of the panelists and did that faithfully during all of his years on Match Game. I truly miss him, even 21 years after his passing.
@@CousinOresama Still haven't grown up I see (I really feel bad your kids having a child for a father) (thankfully though, most on here love Brett, so I'm ok with your cracks about her. I just wish you'd grow up, that's all
Will the jury is in for Mason and Chief Ironside is there to fill in the blanks and keep the panel at bay. . . Its nice to see Raymond Burr on the show. Nice to see David and Elaine on the show .Too bad they did not get Farrah on the show like they had Loni A on the show starting at Episode 1296. Loni Anderson th-cam.com/video/VrsdxVAR_bE/w-d-xo.html I cant recall. What other angels appeared on the show.
So if there was indeed hanky-panky going on between Gene Rayburn and Brett Somers what would be their couples name???? BRENE SOMBURN??? Any other suggestions....
They have 2 semi-regulars and one noobee on the front row. I guess that's how they've been managing since they lost Richard but I really noticed it more with Raymond Burr. There's nobody there to tell him to show his answer in the space above his name. He's holding it in front of his chest.
Raymond Burr was not a good fit for Match Game. He's too passive, too reserved, too low energy. You can get away with that on Hollywood Squares, but not here.
Joyce is a dingbat who thinks she's funny, but she's not! I'm not sure she ever tries to match, when she does I think it's an accident! At least Elaine does sometimes, albeit rarely 😂
ROFL! Another fine episode! ROFL! Love ya Charles even if Joyce step on your joke.. ;0) ROFL! Love ya Elaine! Pop rocks! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Joyce! Threw punches.. ;0) BOTH Gene, both! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Joyce! ;0) ROFL! You must have push the button while your back was turned???? ;0) ROFL! Now it brown, grey and purple now Charles, not green! Rubin Brothers fungus, you attack everyone! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Please Charles, please! ;0) Ok writers, groan there.. ;0)
Thank you so much for uploading the week Raymond Burr was on. I am a hue Mason fan.
Raymond Burr, class act for Match Game
Otto Jones Indeed. Raymond Burr always had class. He brought sophistication to Match Game. Raymond Burr also brought intelligence to Match Game as well.
Wonderful for Mr. Burr to be at this great Match Game !!
The producers liked him so much, they even had a special concreate chair installed for him.
Never thought I would see Perry Mason on a game show.
Or Ironside
Saw him on a U Tube clip of What's My Line as secret guest
Raymond Burr appeared on Password in the early 60s and Hollywood Squares in 1968 and through the 70s
Obviously..you never saw him and the cast of"Perry Mason"on Mike Stokey's"Stump The Stars".
I never thought I'd see Chief Robert T Ironside on Match Game.
The cards look so small when Raymond holds them.

I love you, Raymond Burr!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
18:10....I seem to recall Raymond Burr and Fay Wray...on an early episode of Perry Mason....dang...I feel old....lol
Season One, Episode 36 "The Case Of The Prodigal Parent"
Raymond Burr was a great player. I don't know how he could concentrate sitting between the two of the pretty 👱 (blondes)
I think he was gay..
He was gay so not a problem for him. Loved Raymond Burr.
@@deannamerritt493 That is what I thought I heard but didn't want to ruin a good man ref if it wasn't even if he has since pasted.. ;0) I like him in Perry Mason and The Man Who Yesterday... ;0)
Lol, concentrate?! It's Match game. What concentrate?

She looked best in this hairstyle, Elaine Joyce.
Totally agree

Why are they booing charles. i think that was a good answer, spider. Even cheese curd would have been good, too. I like them better than tuffet.
"Spider" was the BEST answer! Even though tuffet was the popular response.
Interestingly, Brett Somers and Raymond Burr were on two different Perry Mason TV series.
Nothing is very interesting about Brett.

I cant recall. What other angels appeared on the show.
I believe Kate Jackson episode 511 - 515 and 656-660 and John forsythe 461-465. I don't believe anyone else was on MG from that show..
Wow ! Great to see Raymond Burr !! Gorgeous, sexy Elaine Joyce !! :)
I thought of "Lumberjack", Joyce, as well as "Spider", Charles & Joyce... 🤷♀️😏
Elaine looks good enough to eat.
Actually Elaine was not being cheeky... she actually had a small ottoman in her dressing room.
I’m surprised that Raymond Burr never appeared again.
I'm surprised he appeared in the first place. He was much too serious for MG, though he seemed to be good at matching.
@@CousinOresama You mean everyone else was much too comedic. The idea IS to match.
15 childrennnnn...fabulous!! 😅
Janitor in a drum.
Fabulous show 👏 kiddos ❤ 😅
Elaine Joyce.........STUNNING!!
#1 Match Game babe all time
Definitely one of the - if not the most beautiful and charming celebrities, but I'd say Joanne Harris was even prettier.
Breaks the record
Catch a Fay Reay 😊
So if there was indeed hanky-panky going on between Gene Rayburn and Brett Somers what would be their couples name????
BRENE SOMBURN???
Any other suggestions....
I thought they did those with only one outcome from two first names...so
Bregene. Or Summeray.

Thank you Gene for explaining to Brett why "Fay Wray" was in inappropriate answer.
Yes, but he didn't explain it to Raymond Burr who had the same answer!
It is interesting that Raymond isn’t saying anything because her royal Brett is constantly openly nag her mouth and saying nothing
