Before the series hit CBS, a pilot was needed to be made to see how the series worked on the screen. The Pilot was made and became a big hit. I’m testing out he Match Game Website’s bandwidth, and I need your help, I would like you to download Match Game Pilot from 1973. I want to see what happens and see if the site can take so many downloads, The pilot does not include Slate. thematchgamewebsite.com
to bad wendy didnt have red hair..
That music was funky especially the wah wah guitar & funky bass every afternoon after school i hurry home to watch Match Game.
The best answer to Question No. 2 is “Jo Ann Pflug.”
@dagdogg The panel’s cards were also green, not blue.
@prausch65 And the triangles were blue instead of green.
what did he say in french
gameshowtemple just uploaded the entire pilot, and in excellent quality too!
If its the pilot episode, how could she have already won $1,200/
I wonder why the set designer put that odd ledge behind the lower panel’s chairs?
@fluteplaya22593 She came on in 1973, after a few weeks Match Game was on the air. Since Jack Klugman was on the show, he mentioned the idea of Brett appearing on the show.
@Primex007 On many game show pilots, they had a player caled the champion but really wasn’t as that was just for the pilot.
@SmappleMcWingers “Gene’s mike was SO big he had a hard time keeping it in his “blank.”
It’s been reported Gene, who had worked at NBC in New York in the early 60s, didn’t like Jack Parr and thought his abrupt resignation was the action of a spoiled little rich kid from Connecticut.
@SuperNezzy Gene only used his mic for the Super Match round in the first season or two. He only used it full-time in later season.
Where;s Gene’s mic?
Is it wrong that i watch these for the outfits?? I love how people dressed back then!!
When did Brett come on the show?
Not the pilot listen to what Gene said about the champion she had won 1200 dollars
The answers had to get cuter and racier or it never would have made it!
I read once that Jack Klugman agreed to do this episode in return for his then-wife Brett getting a regular gig on the show.
@jrchevy Betty white is in her 80s now
@justin63125 He was actually a panelist on Match Game.
Obvious that this is the pilot. The questions are a little more serious than usual. But still fun to watch.
Wow… Betty White was only in her 50′s!
@torchkit
It’s possibly meant to demonstrate how the game’s returning champion system worked.
