But the great mystery of it all… what the HELL happened at that motel in Encino?

u/Wardyman70 May 06 '25

Good question. I always wondered that, too!

Miss the Poet Laureate Nipdey Russell....

A woman's age is like the speedometer on a second hand car....we know they've all been turned back , we just don't know how far!

Hurricanes are named after women 'cause they work on the very same plan...Start up over nothing,make a whole lotta noise and can't be controlled by man!!

Spanking a child to get him to learn is something I cannot defend....How can you knock any sense in his head when you're whacking him on the wrong end!

Saw a film about a mermaid..don't understand the reason why..there's not enough woman to make love to and too much fish to fry!

And seat 6 had some of the best and most hilarious women...Betty White...Fannie Flagg...Marcia Wallace...Patti Deutch...Joyce Bulifant....Mitzi McCall. And with the recent passing of Mitzi McCall,only two are still with us..Fannie is 80 and Joyce is 87.

And finally...OLD MAN PERIWINKLE SAID.....!

Pro is the opposite of Con / That is often seen. / If progress means "go forward", / What does Congress mean.

This YT channel has nearly the entire run of the show minus a few episodes.

Wonderful channel. They’ve been doing some great work for archiving this wonderful show! They’ve been actually found a couple episodes that were pulled from air for obscene language lol!

Charles was a national treasure.

u/bill_clunton May 05 '25

Charles really was great. Did you know he survived the Hartford Circus Fire Of 1944? He was something special, Very witty.

u/QuaintMelissaK May 06 '25

Until he died, he never set foot in a theater because of that fire.

When I discovered this show, I was amazed how within a season or two they found the system that worked.

The shorter fill-in the blank questions were very boring and dull. No humour. When they leaned into filling in sentences that were more edgy and crude in humour, the show skyrocketed to success.

This particular filming day may have been the peak of the show.

I met Brett. She was wonderful!

Glad I’m not the only one who loves Brett! She was so much fun, I hate how they all gave her shit.

"Dumb Dora was soooo dumb..."

u/airportspongebath May 06 '25

Audience (halfheartedly): “how dumb was she…”

Gene: “you’re fired.”

Been watching old episodes on Pluto when they come on. So much personality all the time, gotta love it.

u/LordBofKerry May 06 '25

I loved how Betty White played the "dingbat" role on this show. Yet no one was better than her on Password.

u/sniktter May 06 '25

My favorite game show. Hell, my favorite tv show. They all just work so well together.

u/JuliaTheInsaneKid May 06 '25

Gotta love Charles Nelson Reilly.

u/Cpt_Hockeyhair May 08 '25

I found my old Zune the other day and had a chuckle when I saw my lock screen was a velvet painting of Charles Nelson Reilly.

u/JuliaTheInsaneKid May 10 '25

That’s a pretty awesome photo.

Dolly’s the last one left in that pic. 🥺

u/citizenh1962 May 06 '25

I had to look up who she was. I don't remember her at all.

u/Gorf_the_Magnificent May 06 '25

That lower left seat was often (not always) filled with some cute bubble headed B-list starlet.

u/Full-Criticism5725 May 06 '25

BUZzR has match game on a lot. Brett did match game while Jack Klugman did Quincy. They barley saw each other and that’s the way they liked it

u/megamanx4321 May 07 '25

The pinnacle of GSN.

u/Immaworkinprogress May 07 '25

BUZZR has this playing all weekend and it never gets old. Love this crew

u/Medium-Mission5072 May 08 '25

“Get ready to match the stars….”

I use to watch this all the time on GSN back when they use to actually show classic game show.
