@CJBojangles The five-square-win rule was not in play here because Mister X could still get a tic-tac-toe.
Drive a Datsun, then decide
Ha Datsun B-210 that was a stylin’ eco-ride back in the day. Ya couldn’t kill the thing.
Paul lynde was too funny
to CJBojangles the 5 square didn’t apply because “X” could still have gotten three in a row
Wasn’t the 5-square-win rule in effect by this point? Or did it only come into play when there was only one celebrity left and 4 of each symbol?
Anson Williams was hottt!!!!!!!!!!
@jsicolts What an awesome comment… heh heh… Did she call you Potsie?
I love paul lynde.
Datsun by Nissan
$3,500 car??? Damn, those were the days!!!!!
I really wish GSN would let us have the ending credits!
@ccie12933 also, this was the nighttime version where each contestant got only one crack at the prizes. As much fun as it would have been for the show to go on and on, it wouldn’t have been fair to the contestants to cut their winnings short so Paul Lynde could have more ad lib time. The daytime show, where contestants were allowed to stay on for as many episodes as the best two our of three rule would allow, was a little less rushed.
@Novatogal You should read Peter’s book to also see why he needed to move things along – some comedians would go 15 minutes if they were allowed to do so!
Really quite a good book and a “must read” for any game show fan.
French 75? That’s $25 dollars more than it was the last time.
@MrMatteNWk it may be that way maybe if there is no ways for anyone to win otherwise. just a guess tho
My ex-wife married me because i looked like Anson Williams. Too bad all must pass.
Paul Lynde was classic…!!!
@Novatogal Very good point. Gene Rayburn really let “Match Game” move at its own pace, which is why it appealed to me so much more. It was more natural and funny.
I had a datsun b-210! I paid 175 bucks for it haha!
Wow. A Datsun B210. Haven’t seen one of those in awhile.
The old lady looks like Mrs. C from Happy Days
If you have 6 circles and you don’t win, then it’s really bad because I thought this show had a “five-square win” rule…
What a shame that NBC destroyed so many of these shows. What a short sighted shame. Funny and very entertaining. Adore Paul Lynde!!!
Peter had to rush on the nighttime shows because they were self-contained and a game ending in progress meant $50 per square. He wanted to get more questions in so that the players could win more cash.
Not so on the daytime show, since the NBC Version straddled, much like the CBS Match Game.
