Todays shows and entertainers can't hold a candle to this group. You had greats like Jack Klugman and Betty White.

I love how Gene thinks the contestants answer is going to be utterly stupid and it ends up making him look foolish by everybody matching the contestant anyway. lol.

Omg... 11:09- 11:29 Jack: Boy this is some game, I'll tell ya that....Password they took off, this they left on..... Brett: you better be careful.... Jack: the only reason I'm happy its on is it cuts down on my alimony... And from here, only about 100 episodes left..... bet Jack was eating his words....

I was 20 years old when match game 78 came out, I had been watching match game ever since they advertise that they were going to be on TV! I was probably 14 or 15 years old, and my dad got us all excited about watching that game! We never missed any episode. It’s too bad that 99% of these celebrities are already gone.

Omgosh I love that Charles!! He's so amazing. 👏👏❤️

I grew up watching this game show. Enjoyed it back in the day but enjoy it even more now. Some of the contestants really didn’t understand the idea behind the questions. LOL. Today the answer to the final question would be Captain.

Wonderful celebrities!! Love watching Jack Klugman !! Great win Charles!!😊

I want a Match Game 7x tee shirt, for REAL!

I love Jack. He's a hot mess asking for a waffle iron as a consolation gift. For the fortune teller question, I said she reads you your rights.

11:15 - Fun fact: when jack appeared on the original password he said how it was his all-time favourite thing on tv. His favourite episode of the odd couple was also the password episode.

I'm glad we still have Bill and Donna are with us. RIP Gene, Brett, Charles, Jack, Betty, and Johnny O.

Now that's 2 contestants from Indiana, like ME! 🙂 This 2nd 1 looks like the actress Missy Peregrym from "F.B.I."! 😉

They matched bathroom with flusher.

ROFL! Another fine episode! ;0) ROFL! Another no response to Gene's answer, love it! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Betty! ;0)

I thought of the long time game show celebrity, Henry Morgan (who appeared on Match Game earlier this season). But there's also Captain Morgan (the person AND the Rum).

6:17....Oh Charles definitely likes that 😛😂

H/H match update for episode 1322: ... ~~~Today's action: Right from the start, Jack acts like the star of the show, becoming the center of attention. (I like him and how he spices things up.) He did have a hand in its creation, and appeared in the pilot (prior to episode one) and some say he was the one who suggested Brett as a panelist which obviously had a huge impact on the show. I think he's big enough of a personality to fill that fifth seat, and it's a shame this was his final week on the panel. Why? Partly because the show (even if they didn't know it at the time) is drawing to a close, so there wasn't a lot of time left to get Jack back (about 130 episodes left). Partly because he (Jack) had other projects. Partly because what's funny for one week (the dynamic between him and Brett) would get stale after a couple weeks. Oh well, on with the game... Our champion is defeated after a single win. He leaves with $600 coming his way. *Today's (first) audience match question: "________As Can Be"* (My thoughts: Happy, Quiet, Good) - This one sounds hard to me. The celebs: Betty (Cute), Bill (Happy), Charles (Nice) The choice: Cute The answers: As Good, Cute, Happy Yes, that was a little bit hard. She got the middle answer. Now it's wheel time. It's Charles today! And a double! Stats: Charles has matched 15 of his 30 most recent attempts (50.0%). His overall accuracy score is currently 49.4%, and this will be his 80th attempt overall. He's scored 39 H/H matches so far, more than anyone else except for Richard (373), with Brett close behind at 38 matches. *Today's (first) H/H question: "_______M(o)ustache* (Handlebar? I doubt anyone would say "p0rn star mustache" Really, only handlebar jumps to mind.) Charles doesn't seem to have an immediate decision. He's looking around at his colleagues. The new champion appears serious but calm as she thinks. It doesn't take long. Charles files his answer before the camera returns to him. "The only thing I could think of is 'handlebar'," she says, echoing my own experience. The audience reaction is a solid 10 on the positivity scale. Charles is shielding his eyes from the camera with his hand, so I can't see his face. When he launches into a long patter, you know he's matched (he doesn't torture contestants by dragging it out when he doesn't match). Sure enough: "Handlebar." - It was unanimous today! Charles scores his 40th H/H match today. ~~~~~ Gene pokes fun at the champion for coming up with a lousy answer... an answer that then scores six matches! She easily wins her second game. *Today's (second) audience match question: "________Restaurant"* (My thoughts: Chinese, Fast Food, Sit-down) - This one sounds hard too. The celebs: Brett (Family), Betty (French), Charles (Alice's) The choice: Alice's The answers: Italian, Alice's, Chinese (I had the top answer after all, and so did Jack, but he wasn't called on...) Not awful. Middle answer second time in a row. The wheel chooses Betty this time. No double. Stats: Betty's most recent attempts were in episodes 1309 and 1295. She matched 8 of her past 15 questions (53.3%) and 23 of her 47 H/H questions overall (48.9%). This is now Betty's 48th attempt. She's answered more H/H questions than anyone other than our three regulars. *Today's (second) H/H question: "_______Morgan* (Henry? I thought of him because he appeared on the MG panel (seat #1) fairly recently (episodes 1256-1260). That was his one and only week on the show, however, and he never got a H/H question. I'll just leave it at that, as I generally do poorly with name questions.) The champion looks like she's already decided. Betty is deep in thought. After a moment, she writes what looks like about 5 letters and quickly files her card. "Jaye P. Morgan" says the champ. Yes, indeed. Another MG alumna, Jaye P. appeared for a single week (episodes 11-15) and she was in seat #2 (with Brett, not yet a regular, in #4). Jaye P. was chosen for one H/H question, but didn't achieve a match. Oh, I just checked, and Betty was on the same week as Jaye P. ! (Joyce Bulifant was the semi-regular the week Henry Morgan was on.) Oops! Gene interprets the champion's answer as J.P. Morgan, the financier/banker, not Jaye P. Morgan, singer/actress. I guess that makes more sense. The way the champion doesn't react in the least when Gene refers to J.P. as "him" leads me to believe that the champion meant to say him and not Jaye P. Betty however went with M*A*S*H actor Harry Morgan. (That's quite a few Morgans altogether!) No H/H match this time. ~~~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 or he has "retired" from the show and their 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 matches in 4 attempts). Joyce Bulifant - 80.0% (4 matches in 5 attempts). (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 matches in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 62.5% (5 matches in 8 attempts). Charles - 50.0% (40 matches in 80 attempts). Betty - 47.9% (23 matches in 48 attempts). Fannie - 46.2% (18 matches in 39 attempts). (*)Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 matches in 18 attempts). Brett - 44.2% (38 matches in 86 attempts). (*)Richard - 42.5% (373 matches in 878 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 matches in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 1322, excluding the missing/damaged/unavailable episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, 645, 910, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030. (Note: 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. There was no H/H in missing episode 1035, as we learn in 1036. These stats do, however, include results of episodes 1309 through 1317, found on channels other than this one.

Love Gene Rayburn!❤

I guess it takes a keen eye to observe.. but Brett had a "glow" during these Jack Klugman episodes. Love is a messy, terrible, horrible thing.. but it sticks with you and you never really let go 🤷‍♂️

I thought I saw CNR where Jack was and Jack was with CNR usually sits in the intro for the last show of the week before....

18:28 Gene: "Be impulsive here" feel free to enjoy a jump with my bones Betty: "Repulsive" stop being a creeper Gene

Wow, straight in with a gonorrhea joke, lol.

GET A CLUE 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Obituaries are losses to the family members

Although I 💘 every season with the exception of 90s match game 78 is my favorite because it's dawson free

Per the Title: It's "Mustache", with NO "o"!! 🤦‍♀️🙄

Brett was a pain in the keister.: don’t blame Jack. She was very rude and mean to him.

I wonder if the female contestants were warned that they might be groped by Gene.
