I loved Brett & Charles. Remember watching them as a small kid after school in the mid-late '70s. I now get to watch and really appreciate their humor on the reruns thanks to BUZZR TV.
Episode 11 of Match Game was the first appearance of CNR, Brett Somers and Betty White. The energy and comedy levels of the show redoubled with episode 11.
I agree with all the others who've said Brett & Charles, without them match game wouldn't have been as funny or successful! They were the best of friends and ironically enough died within a year of each other...They'll be missed!
Love Brett. That first appearance on the show set the tone for the laid back zany pace for the rest of the run. Her boisterous uninhibited and unapologetic quips is what definitely helped other panelists step up their (Match) Game.
l watched Match game a lot back then. Brett was constantly checking the answers of Charles Nelson Reilly and whomever was to her right. lt seemed she would give the same answer as either one of them 99% of the time
I never understood feminists blaming “societal pressure” for women putting their home lives and children first. My mother stayed home with us because she wanted to, and it was absolutely the normal thing to do. There was no pressure. Feminists act like women need an excuse to stay home & raise children, that they need a reason other than they enjoy it, or the fact that it is a huge responsibility to turn out decent kids & women who stay home take that seriously. Jeez. When we were old enough to look after ourselves my mother got a part-time job that turned into a satisfying career for her. She “had it all” as they say, just not all at once. --The only pressure I ever saw put on women & families was monetary. Because of the fiat money system we are enslaved under it became impossible for most households to survive on one salary. So both parents work now and kids are farmed out to daycare centers to be babysat instead of raised. There is a difference. My sister had her first child in 1990 & stayed home with them, they turned out great. Later on she worked at a daycare & she nearly had a nervous breakdown because she could not impart to those kids what she did to her own, & she could tell some of them seriously suffered for it. People now think this is the “normal” way of things--I don’t think there is anything normal about it. Just look at what is happening in the country today (2022). Part of the problem is two generations of people being dumped in daycare, & the mothers turning their attention to their own narcissistic needs. The bigger part of the problem is “feminism”, which for 50 years has made homemakers & mothers feel like they were doing something wrong by being happy.
Wanting a career is not a 'narcissistic need.' Also may I ask if you are a man or a woman? I think it is a very bold thing to say there was no pressure to stay home with your children in the 1970's. lol. my mom felt it even in the 2000's. This sounds so divorced from the lived reality.
Somers was a complete narcissist. She would give stupid answers and didn't give a damn about winning the constants any money. I think that they finally had to end the match game due to paper cost. She had to use three to four cards for answers that she thought was glib. She not only hated female panelist but toward the end she didn't like Richard Dawson. If it wasn't for Klugman getting her on match game, she would have wound up wearing a hair net and ask if you like fries with that.
Very interesting. Thank you. Brett and Charles forever !

Sound up.
She was my favorite on Match Game. Runner-up was Charles Nelson Reilly.
Brett and CNR both passed away in 2007.
Miss her
Thankyou but I wish this included clips from the other work she did that you referred to.
Thank you for makıng a vıdeo on one of my favourıte people!
Very comprehensive and very respectful. Beautifully done!
loved her.on match
Always loved Brett, Very well done Piece The young lady doing this Piece should be proud of herself
My daughter loves match game and Brett Somers
Audio is really terrible. Can't hear anything except very low whisper! What a shame.
I find it strange that so many of the leading comments on this are negative.
Bret Somers if the spot light was on another celeb. she tried to say/do something to put the focus on her ... Never cared for her .
I never thought that at all. I think she was just a very outgoing person who liked to interact a lot.

She was great at what she did the show catered to a mans world but im pretty sure everyone on most episodes were swingers I just like unfiltered humor

She had to comment on everything. So annoying. Seemed to be jealous of the female celebrity guests and seemed to have a crush on gene rayburn.
She and Gary Burghoff were my least favorites
Her narcissism and attention seeking got old.
Sometimes I watch reruns and get angry at a woman who's been dead for almost twenty years.

I loved Brett from the beginning She's lovable cute charming and abrasive sometimes She played opposite of Felix and held her ground.
