Your Favorite ''Match Game'' Kooky Gal (Semi-Regular)

Poll question: Your Favorite ''Match Game'' Kooky Gal (Semi-Regular)

[underpants]

1. I voted Elaine Joyce ;-) but two significant others are there

Fannie Flagg (yes THAT Fannie Flagg) wrote "Fried Green Tomatoes"

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0280840/

and Marcia Wallace was of course Bob Newhart's receptionist AND is the voice of Edna Krabapple on the Simpsons.

[terrya]

2. My God, I loved Fannie Flagg.

The BEST thing about Match Game, IMO.

[Magrittes Pipe]

3. No, no, no.

Brett and Chuck were far more fun than Fannie.

I voted for Ms. Wallace, but I do enjoy a little FF diversion now and then. I liked it when they were BOTH on! :D

[eyesroll]

4. No, the microphone was the best thing about Match Game.

Gene Rayburn really got into his props...

[terrya]

9. That microphone WAS, um, "prominent", wasn't it?

VERY suggestive. :-)

[arwalden]

12. Suggestive Indeed...

[terrya]

22. OMG...what a pic!

:-)

[arwalden]

27. I Know...

Only, I think they were using it as a tongue depressor or a flashlight prop for some dental joke.

15. How the hell

do you guys remember that?? I'm somewhat *cough* older than you guys and I barely, vaguely remember Fannie Flagg...but that's it. Oh, and Marsha cos she was on Bob Newhart...but the rest of that...no clue. :shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

17. The Game Show Network.

Duh. :eyes:

[dolo amber]

20. Ach, gotcha

I only watch cartoons. :D

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. Cartoons are like game shows.

Except cartoons are way more cerebral.

[eyesroll]

23. And they usually don't have game-show-themed cereal.

I don't link "Wheels of Frosted Fortune" would sell well, anyway.

[Magrittes Pipe]

25. COME ON DOWN!

It's time to eat THE BRAN IS RIGHT!

:9:hurts:

[eyesroll]

26. Rayburn Bran!

:bounce:

[eyesroll]

19. We spent an entire summer watching Game Show Network

Before it was "Friend or Foe" and "Lingo" and all of their made-for-right-now crap, they showed reruns of 1970s game shows. It was a great time-waster.

5. It's arwalden's monthy Match Game post!

;)

I'm also a Match Game junkie!

[Bunny]

6. Wow. That's a toughie.

Between Fannie Flagg and Marsha Wallace. Hmmm...Tough choice, but there is someone missing, isn't there? I give you, the one, the only, Brett Somers!

[arwalden]

11. Brett Was A Regular...

... I was limiting this poll to semi-regulars. (Otherwise Brett has an unfair advantage since she IS the Match Game QUEEN after all!)

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. No, Allen. Charles Nelson Riley is the Match Game Queen.

:evilgrin:

[Bunny]

14. Okay, I get it. I missed that in your original post.

Brett was the queen, wasn't she? Is she still alive?

[arwalden]

18. Yes... Brett Is Still Alive And Lives In NYC. I Wrote To Her Recently...

... and she wrote back and included a personalized autograph photo. It's very cool!!!

--- Allen

P.S. EXCELLENT CATCH! Of course Charles is the QUEEN. I should have thought of that myself. Funny!

[Bunny]

24. What a cool thing! An autographed picture!

Oh, and BTW, you should thank whoisalhedges for the Charles catch. He came up with that one, not me. Much to my regret!

[mac56]

7. Don't forget Dolly Martin!

:9

[Maddy McCall]

8. Marsha. But almost Fannie, because of her funny sweater.

Are those eggs on her boobs?

[arwalden]

10. I Like Them All... But Patti Deutsch And Her Deadpan Delivery

on the dumbest, silliest, (and funny) answers *always* manages to crack me up.

-- Allen

(Poor Joyce Bulifant... her answers were just plain stupid. Rather than being genuinely funny, her replies just left me shaking my head in disbelief. --- I don't remember many times when she actually matched the contestant.)

[asthmaticeog]

16. All six of them genuflect

before the awesome might of The Gong Show's Jaye P. Morgan.
