Geeze, these episodes took place 40+ years ago, but they are still timely, and funny. I watched a few of them when they were first aired, and I'm still "addicted" !! It's a shame that some of the "principals" are no longer with us

Had no idea Charles was taller than Gene

Richard off: the word isn't 'laundry mat', it's laundromat. I thought 'bag' instantly, myself.

It's so sad to watch this and know alot of these celebrities are no longer with us

Richard and Charles are so silly together! Richard may not show it, but he loved Charles:) Those guys were so sweet❤️

CLASSIC ENDING 👍🏼 😂 ......

OH! I Love that song Short People! ;0) Being that I am short... ;0) Now boys, Dayton Anderson might have a word with you two playing tic tac toe on the suit.. ;-)

So so episode but hilarious ending! Thanks for sharing! :)

Bow wow wow wow, yippee yo, yippee yay! 🤣

Do you have air dates for these episodes without the slates? The only reason I ask is that Johnny keeps on announcing that Marcia Wallace is "from the 'Bob Newhart' show." That show aired its last first-run episode in April of that year. She wouldn't have that credential to use very much longer.

So different from today, where somebody would probably say they were offended by "powwow"...

Gene Rayburn hosted Tic Tac Dough in the 1950s (a Barry-Enright Tic-Tac-Toe game show which was later revived on CBS and later on Syndication with Wink Martindale as host in 1978).

Yes Gene is wearing his crosshatch generator suit. Gene can just turn around and have the cameraman focus on his back. Crosshatch generator is used to align TV equipment.

H/H match update: ... ~~~Today's action: As the last episode concluded, our champion had just won her fourth game (Marcia provided the winning match). So here we go... *Today's (first) audience match question: "________Wow"* (My thoughts: Oh, Bow, Pow) The celebs: Susan (Pow), Richard (Bow), Brett (Oh) The choice: Bow The answers: Oh, Pow-, Bow- For the head-to-head, she's chosen Richard all three times so far (they matched the first one). Will she make it four? Yes. This is her fourth time playing with Richard and his 32nd consecutive H/H attempt. Stats: Richard has matched 139 of his 319 most recent attempts (43.6%), 78 of his last 179 attempts (43.6%), 31 of his past 71 attempts (43.7%), and 17 of his past 44 attempts (38.6%). His overall success rate is *42.3%* and this is his 797th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 34 of his 70 attempts (48.6%), Richard has matched 337 of his 796 attempts (42.3%), and Brett has matched 30 of her 71 attempts (42.3%). Marcia missed her one shot, and Nipsey has played 8 times without yet scoring his first H/H match. Susan Sullivan hasn't yet answered a H/H question. *Today's (first) H/H question: "________Ending"* (Happy. What else is there?) Richard quickly writes a longish answer that sure looks like it could be the same as mine. The champ gives the predicted answer without any hesitation and the audience offers an encouraging round of applause. Sounds like an easy match today. Yes, looking at Richard's expression, I think he nailed this one. Of course! It's a happy ending for our champion! Richard scores his 338th H/H match today. ~~~~~ Had she said "bed," our champion would've won her fifth game, but it was not to be. She departs smiling and waving after four victories and winnings totaling $9,650. *Today's (second) audience match question: "Let them________"* (My thoughts: Go, eat cake, live) The celebs: Nipsey (Eat cake), Susan (Alone), Richard (Go) The choice: Eat Cake The answers: Eat Cake, Be, Go (Kudos to Richard for coming up with the top answer in third position.) Our new champion follows the straight and narrow for his H/H choice. This makes King Richard's 33rd consecutive H/H attempt. Stats: Richard has matched 140 of his 320 most recent attempts (43.8%), 79 of his last 180 attempts (43.9%), 32 of his past 72 attempts (44.4%), and 18 of his past 45 attempts (40.0%). His overall success rate is *42.4%* and this is his 798th attempt so far. For the sake of comparison: Charles has matched 34 of his 70 attempts (48.6%), Richard has matched 338 of his 797 attempts (42.4%), and Brett has matched 30 of her 71 attempts (42.3%). Marcia missed her one shot, and Nipsey has played 8 times without yet scoring his first H/H match. Susan Sullivan hasn't yet answered a H/H question. *Today's (second) H/H question: "Laundry________"* (Detergent? Basket? My first thought was detergent, so I'll say that.) Richard quickly writes his answer and glances at his lower-tier colleagues before filing his card. Our new champ confidently gives my alternate answer - Basket - and receives lukewarm applause. Clearly they were thinking of something else. Hmm. Richard answers Laundry Mat??? Is that the thing you put on the floor in front of your washer so that you don't slip on the wet floor? No H/H match this time. {Edit: Duh. After reading the comments, it dawned on me Richard was probably thinking of Laundromat. But that doesn't exactly fit the question... } ~~~Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (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). Betty - 50.0% (19 wins in 38 attempts). Charles - 48.6% (34 wins in 70 attempts). Fannie - 48.5% (16 wins in 33 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 42.4% (338 wins in 798 attempts). Brett - 42.3% (30 wins in 71 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1162, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. *Also, note that episode 849 was never produced. (These stats do, however, include the H/H results of missing episode 968 as those results were revealed in episode 969. Note: There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036.)

Omg. Brett coming down the stairs to get tissue and to show off her skirt. She really likes the camera.

Shamwow...

I miss the panning shot of the audience that they used to show.

laundrY(?)-mat?

Anita would have won another game if she had said bed.

Anita would have won if she had said bed.

Waoh, ( SUSAN SULLIVAN ) 👈🏼 ..... a.k.a. ( KITTY MONTGOMERY ) ...... FROM [ DHARMA & GREG ] ..... ( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) MatchGameProd....

I wonder why Brett was always insinuating that her and Gene were messing around? Maybe they were!

I guess the contestant couldn't think of Billy barty

Not sure why, but I found myself not liking this game contestant and wanting her to loose in game #1161. Something about how she won and her gestures and reactions in #1161. She seemed polite, was not rude and did nothing wrong, so I just cannot figure why I want her to loose. I am sure she is a nice lady but I am glad she went down in flames in game #1162. She got some cash and some lovely consolation prizes.

Brett doing what ever it takes to get on camera. She just couldn't stand for someone else to have any attention.

Has anyone seen the episode that Betty is talking about at the end of the video at 2:50? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKuKnqafubGrh2g.html
