Patti was a sharp-as-a-tack wit. Not only does she have a hilarious comeback to the milk query, but she says it almost before Gene is done talking. It's possible that this was the moment she secured her long run on the show.
Well Patti had gone to school with Gene's daughter Lynne and probably already knew Gene well enough to have a quick wit comeback ready at any moment when she was around him.. ;0) Now I can't figure out if it was college or high school.. ;0) She said couple of times that Gene and her got way back.. ;0)

I'm surprised it was allowed to go on SO much EVERY show... It's really annoying. She makes disparaging comments about many at times but Betty is her mainstay.

She was not bullying her, it was a game they played. And sometimes Betty would go back at her. You would know bullying when you see it. It's malicious, mean, and unkind. That was not Brett. And actually a lot of the mean comments I read about Brett is what I call bullying.
This took place after the "quiz show scandals". The networks were "running scared", and their answer to all that BS was to limit the prize(s) - instead of policing the ranks, and getting rid of the scoundrels, they thought this would quell the uproar, and the low ratings they were getting for "quiz shows", as evidence by the "chinzy" gifts/prizes (i.e. "toaster ovens"???!!???)
Inflation is an inevitable byproduct of any market economy. Its main driver is growth in the production of goods and services, amplified by population growth and the system of fractional reserve banking that has been the backbone of our economic system since the 1700s. Indeed, unless we want the government to have absolute control over pricing and production, inflation is strictly required for a stable economy. In the grand scheme of things, politicians and governments have actually done a pretty good job at keeping the highly complex issue of inflation in check, and the few cases where they've screwed up bad are mostly limited to third-world countries and situations where the economy has already collapsed.
Jim Backus gave a lot of good answers, some not so good. He didn't get many matches cuz the contestants gave stupid answers. Jim's answers usually matched at least 1 or 2 of the other panelists.
I noticed that they didn't have a voice over at the end for the next program, but they were doing that for some shows at the time, so here's what it would have been: "Stay tuned for The Secret Storm, next over most of these CBS stations".
@@kingramaxi7065 It was earlier than that. Charles was on track to be a regular by the end of 1973. He was on six weeks before then, then they booked him four weeks in a row at the end of the year. In January and February 1974, he alternated weeks (more or less) before officially becoming a regular in March 1974 (starting with episode 176). Thereafter, he was on every week unless he was sick (episodes 246-250) or on Broadway.
I yearn for those days when women would actually say when asked their occupation by Gene Rayburn, the lady would speak proudly, "I'm a housewife"...… women staying at home teaching their children proper etiquette and how to be a good person is sorely missed in 2019. Truly the above was the "good ol' days".
macsnafu Funny Girl was a hit film from 1968 nominated for multiple Oscars. Barbra Streisand won Best Actress Oscar for it in a rare 2-way tie with Katherine Hepburn (The Lion in Winter).
ROFL! Another fine after dinner episode! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Gene! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Patti! ;0) ROFL! Love ya Betty! ;0) ROFL! Patti knew Gene from way back, his daughter and her went to school together, so she already had learned to be quick with comebacks with him.. She probably knew Gene the longest of those on the panel.. Well maybe not Betty who knew him from his radio show Anything Goes with Rayburn and Finch in the late 40’s. And on the first question as well.. ;0) Hand mic not on stand.. ;0) WoW! Betty, Patti, Jim, and Nipsey al beat Richard.. ;0) Thank you Gene.. ;0) Milk? Brassierer.. ;0) I just love how he can bounce back thou to move on with the show.. ;0) Wife? Dress! A girl... I still like Gene even with his slipups.. ;0) Now Nipsey, all he said is Nipsey is now ready.. ;0) Everyone beat Richard.. ;0)
Richard wins the week, again, giving away 5,000 dollars in a head to head match. Brett gave away 1,000 in audience match matches with 11 matches. Patti had 10 matches for the week while Betty gave away 750 dollars in audience match matches.. ;0)
Patti gave half decent answers all week. She even matched several times. How'd she get to be such a dunce? (I guess this being her first week on the show, she didn't know the rules of the game)
Nissley-Rayfield, round 1, question B: "Simple and sweet: he put his teeth in her MOUTH." (Bzzt!) Round 2, question A: "Well, I think women found his KLAN ROBE disturbing…" (Bzzt!) Question B: "It was life-changing advice: 'You need a BLUE FAIRY!'" (Bzzt!) Tie-breaker, question A: "No, Superman wouldn't brag about nobody else flying like he did; I mean, how does he know they wouldn't, if they flew at all?… No, but with his superhuman strength, I can guarantee that nobody BENCH-PRESSES like he does." (Bzzt!) Question B: "Sorry, Myron, I said FREE TIME." (Bzzt!) Super Match, part 1: BONE Part 2: "What I need to do now: REtire."

"No, I don't think it's been written yet, but what the hey."
The "stupid mic" kept him from having to reach around and quickly grab the hand mic as the turntable was moving to start the super match. It was a pretty sensible switch over since he needed the hand mic for the contestant doing the super match.
According to Patti D, MG101, they had one cocktail at lunch to loosen them up for the last 2 shows but they were already a walking party sober according to her. Richard didn't drink, he drank coffee althou some said he did in MG101. Gene told Brett, in 702, that he didn't drink because of a rotten liver and had a ongoing med condition but it is said in TMGR that he cut back drinking in the 80's, this was written after Gene's and Helen's death. So who really knows.. ;0) And since they were all professional wanting to find other work in the business who would want to show up drunk on video to people they were wanting to work for. They all seems fine to me in this episode.
Agreed-it's early days. However, my thoughts come from my viewings through the years. Not saying that RD's inferior to others just not superior, either.
Those non-PC days were so much better. If you were insulted, you said something back, or not, or handled it some "other" way. But most important you didn't get all whiny looking for somebody to protect you. Freedom for people to figure it out was much better than nanny state to protect you.

When I was a kid instead of “goodnight” my grandfather would say “see you in the funny papers”. My father now says the same to my nieces.

Fannie Flagg started in the "bimbo slot" too. It's funny that the "bimbo slot" matches more than the coveted female comedian spot.

Nipsey's great, I love hearing him talk.
I loved his little side remarks that often went unnoticed by his co-panelists. He was funny; yet on point.
I always enjoyed his funny poems.
Gene often made it funny, especially when it is a "blank", lol. He was older than he looked (56 in 1973) When he left the show, it lost it's lustre.
Gene never left the show. The show left Gene.

Mark Muffs I agree - the show was just not the same without him. And I don’t think of myself as prudish, but didn’t the newer shows get a tad vulgar?
This was great!! Fun and funny!! Different without Gene holding a microphone. Richard Dawson really looked great here!
I like Susan's fashion sense. And Betty's too.
My apologies. I was so used to typing Charles Nelson Reilly, not Nipsey Russell.
I know, he is always by Brett.

Hi
Hugs to all
Not unhappy to see Myron go.
"$" So much for the famed Dawson esp. From my viewings, I think it's imaginary, his superiority as a matcher (eg Reilly's just as consistent).
Bro, be quiet. This is early Match Game 1973. Richard Dawson's ESP wasnt developed yet. He has however has won the Super Match in other earlier games.
Stellar Jay And Jay, spare tire is a perfectly reasonable answer. No reflection on anyone.
Agreed-it's early days. However, my thoughts come from my viewings through the years. Not saying that RD's inferior to others just not superior, either.
Agreed-it is reasonable; although, I'm surprised he misspelt it ;-) I was commenting on the perceived 'Dawson ESP' bit. No reflexion, either. ;-)
Right now he is 19 for 5 matches but he is getting better overall in the game.. ;0)
Those non-PC days were so much better. If you were insulted, you said something back, or not, or handled it some "other" way. But most important you didn't get all whiny looking for somebody to protect you. Freedom for people to figure it out was much better than nanny state to protect you.
Loretta Swit is consistently the absolute worst panelist I can think of on Match Game. Many others were bad, but she was consistently bad after she became a semi-regular. Well after she had plenty of practice and time to get in the swing of things. She gave horrible answers, and her jokes weren't funny or there weren't any jokes. She was kind of like a buzz kill.
