For as long as I have had access to the Internet, I have collected clips from "Match Game 7x", one of my favourite shows of all time.

I see that now, with utube and GSN, there are now humoungous clips.

This thread is about this show.

This, "School Riot", is my favourite Match Game clip ever. You must not only watch it, but judge.

1. How many answers does the contestant Craig
score a match on?

Stop and record your judgments after each answer.
Do later answers affect your judgments on earlier answers, and if so, how can this happen?

So how do you vote?:
--On Ed Asner's answer?
--On Brett's answer?
--On Charles' answer?
--On DebraLee's answer?
--On Richard's answer?
--On Patti's answer?

Enjoy.

I think they all should have been a match. That judge was being a bit ridiculous. For the record, does anybody know how it actually turned out?

that was a pretty incredible clip right there.

i think the judge backed himself into a corner by accepting "college". then compounded it by accepting "scuba diving school", which really, isn't the same thing as "school" at all.

then, he totally screwed up by not accepting other answers with "school" in them, most particularly, "finishing school", which was probably the closest to "school" to begin with.

but, maybe i'm biased toward that, since i had "charm school" in mind.

but definitely a crazy bit of judging.

I think the judge accepted Charles' answer because he put a box around the word "school", as if to imply that this was his real answer and "scuba diving" was just a joke.

Nothing real special about this clip, except an incredibly young and beautiful Kate Jackson (of Charlie's Angels fame) makes her first ever MG appearance.

I think the guy got railroaded in Toral's original video...

I love how Richard can get away with giving the judge the finger on national television(check out when he get's "vetoed" at 3:00)

If I had to rule as the answer appeared, I'd allow college (answers
#1 & #2), finishing school (answers #4 & #5) and night school
(answer #6). I'm undecided about CNR's answer (scuba diving
school), but I would have definitely awarded five correct answers.

I think I finally see the judge's logic.

Only "college" and "night school" fit the traditional sense of "school." "Charm school" and "finishing school" aren't what most people would consider "real" schools.

I'm with KnicksFan- CNR's answer was accepted because he boxed the word "school" implying that it was his "real" answer- the "scuba" part was a joke.

All that being said, I was thinking "charm school" like Tree when I heard the question. Had Craig qualified "school" he would've only received credit for "college"- if that- unless it was a more exact match.

Patti Deutsch's answer of "Night School" was buzzered (not accepted).

So, the judge's logic now, was ....

Kate Jackson was hot. All the original Angels were hot. This last batch are skanky in comparison.

Geez this clip reminded me of why I liked Match Game.

The second round round is easy and someone must win.

In the first round, you have one brilliant answer: Charles Nelson Reilly's "Annie Hall".

McLean Stevenson (who died at a very young age) takes the controls from Gene Rayburn.
Note the appearance of Connie Stevens, who appeared in public very rarely in the 70s after she suffered a very unfortunate personal incident in her life (to be euphemistic).

And here's how this evil all started.

Anyone who remembers Jaye P. Morgan must also remember -The Gong Show.

Note: Jack Klugman and Brett Somers were married at the time.

Klugman agreed to appear on the pilot only if his wife, Brett, got a gig.

They soon divorced; but Brett Somers starred on MG and it became her main showcase the rest of her life.

The show eventually made jokes about this, usually with set-up lines involving the show Quincy (which starred Jack Klugman playing a coroner.) (and which show was based on the Canadian show Wojack, which was based on the real-life activities of a Canadian coroner, Dr. Morton Shulman, a born-and-bred Conservative who became disgusted with the system, and, running for the social democrat NDP, became the most popular politician in Ontario)....

Anyway....

Extremely rare: an onscreen appearance by producer Mark Goodson, inventor of the TV game show.

2 trivia notes:
1. If you watch TPIR, just before the close, you will hear Rich Fields call it a "Mark Goodson Television Production" and see those words displayed on screen.

There is no corporate entity of any kind to which this description applies. Mark Goodson is long dead, and all his corporate entities have long ago been merged into something else. Fremantle Media now owns/produces TPIR. There is not even a division of Fremantle Media with the Mark Goodson name on it.

After Goodson died, Bob Barker asked Fremantle Media to allow TPIR to continue to be described as a "Mark Goodson Television Production". They said yes.

2. Bells and buzzers in game shows -- where did they come from?

Mark Goodson (and his longtime partner Bill Todman).
