I read that Cass loved to entertain at her home. It’s nice to see her in this setting. She seemed so pleasant and interesting. Her talent was certainly amazing.
Nancy Hahn That's so true. I miss the old Monte hall show Let's make a Deal. My Dad was friends with Gene Rayburn when they was little kids , way before Gene became famous.
Thank you.👍 Very shortly after this, Gene asks, "The pretty nurse said to the doctor, 'Doctor, I really don't think you should (blank) while you're operating'". Jack Klugman's answer was, "eat". So Brett says, "Take a look at his WEIGHT, and you'll see why he said 'eat'", just before it was Mama Cass's turn to answer. I wonder if Brett drank, and if she did, I wonder if she was a 'mean drunk'?
I think you missed the adult human because it was intentional for children to miss adult humor. It takes a lot more intelligence in screen writing to do that then it is to be blatant with sex like things are today
MJCLAXDEN, Cass Elliott (aka Mama Cass of the Mamas and Papas) only appeared on Match Game for that one week in 1973. But it would not be her last TV appearance on a game show. From what I researched, she along with Jacqualine Susann made their final game show appearances on "Celebrity Sweepstakes" in the summer of 1974. Cass Elliot died shortly after of a heart attack while eating a ham sandwich (due to contrary belief, it was not due to choking on one as many believed). She was replaced by Eliane, the lead singer of Spanky and Our Gang during all later and future Mamas and Papas reunion tours.
That's not nice everyone, Yes, Cass Elliot was overweight, so what?? She still had a fantastic voice and like it or not she is part of our musical history.
What is so great about watching these "vintage" gameshows is seeing the mostly now gone celebrities and the clothing of the times! I was 12 when this first aired, but sure miss the times!
@@zerotwoisreal when it says “banned” it means banned in syndication, not banned at the time it was made. This was a live show, so this 100% aired at the time

Jack Klugman's face spoke volumes on Brett's answer. Love seeing MaMa Cass Elliot, Richard Dawson and others here. So nostalgic! Back when real game shows were a thing and enjoyable to watch unlike the stuff being produced today.
Lol I've never seen a game show with so many banned episodes. Gotta say this was my favorite show as a kid, and it still gives me a great laugh to see these again. Thanks for digging these out of the archives and blowing the dust off them for us. P.S. ... I'm big, fat, and ugly and don't get offended in the least by all those references in this show.

Couldn't help but notice your name. When my wife and I got married in 2005, I was living in Lexington, KY at the time. In 2013, we went on vacation to Pigeon Forge via Lexington (we were living in St. Louis at the time) and drove downtown to relive a few memories. Now I am a Christian and don't normally talk like this...but I couldn't help but bust out laughing upon seeing a restaurant there in downtown Lexington called "Hugh Jass Burgers". LOL
@Willie Gordon no one also chooses to be gay. Many people who are gay go through a period of time where they do wish they could “change” . Many people do say they are “fat and proud”, so I don’t know where you’ve been lol. Point is it’s wrong to use that type of language and it’s a good thing it’s a “banned” episode.
i agree, they don't take it serious enough , while at the same time having fun ... they make the whole shows a joke ..

WTF does your sexual orientation have to do with anything? Why do always need to scream that from mountain tops? Nobody cares. I'm heterosexual - big deal.
I had a babysitter when I was little who always had the TV on at her place, and she got me hooked on game shows, including Match Game, over KOLR, channel 10, the Ozarks' CBS affiliate.
Sad to see Cass not long before she died of a heart attack. The show also was not in it's stride yet the questions and the celebs were not as zany as 1975-1977 when this show was at it's peak.
@@tommykeith6589 So many *ugly* spirited people in the comment section. My friend Faith was an average size pretty European 26 year old, who many guys wanted to date in my home town, but had stolen the heart of a fellow European guy originally from Romania. She started getting sick and was tested and found to have Chronic Kidney Disease. They put her on medication, which was a steroid, for her CKD. As with many steroid drugs, along with other medications such as insulin..... she started gaining weight uncontrollably. By the time she was getting married 6 months later, she had gained 40 pounds...now needing her gown altered to fit. A year later, she had grown to nearly 80 pounds overweight. They adjusted her meds repeatedly, but could never get the weight off. Looking at her weight, you could assume and make jokes about eating, pig etc..... but you would be a jerk, and as she fights for her life 20 years later, waiting for a kidney ..... she will still be a better human being than some of you in this comment section. She is kind, thoughtful, and has never mistreated anyone or looked down on others. This world will never deserve such people.
@@bigbertha4080 I agree with you - don't be mean. Also tho we can acknowledge that 80% to 95% of overweight people are NOT overweight for health issues. They are overweight from eating the wrong foods/ too much food. A number of people who blame their weight on age or being big-boned or having a baby or birth control hormones or surgery years ago. These people so focused on HOW/ WHAT initially caused it while ignoring what is needed to maintain all that extra weight. It requires CONTINUING to eat too much of wrong food = portion control 101. People who r obese should try what can to get control & get healthy. Esp young people, like how Mama June had no control over her own eating & instilled same failed relationship w food to Honey Booboo. We might only have 1 life, so should all try for a prolonged life of health. Overeating is not healthy. BOTTOM LINE: NOBODY should say hurtful mean things to ANYONE, but we should all value health for as long as we can. That is part of respecting the gift of life.
I watched it all the time. I was 13 when this aired. But I had no idea what Cass was famous for until years later. We weren't permitted to listen to "The Devil's Music." Highly suggestive game shows sure, but never "The Devil's Music." Mom was an ironic person.
It's a shame that people can't take things in historical context. There was no malice to it. It was just banter. It was a bit edgy, but that was the whole vibe of the show with the double entendres.
It was pretty wild to see Cass Elliott there. I was so young back then that I almost didn't realize she was a regular person like everyone else. In music circles shes's basically a deity these days.
I don't think Brett is homophobic. Gays use the word among themselves playfully. Also, I have seen two episodes where Brett insults Anita Bryant and says she loves the people Anita Bryant hates. Plus, she and Charles seem to genuinely like each other.
I can remember being home sick from school and watching this and others. When your 7 years old daytime TV was so much different than the what you were used to after school or at night
Times change, I guess. I remember Archie Bunker (Carrol O'Connor) using the word to describe Englishmen on "All in the Family". No way one could say that on a show now.
and it;s SO STUPID because...that's THE character, he's a BIGOT so he WOULD say that. TODAY they'd clean him up and take his edge away...but do LOTS and LOTS of poop, piss, period and puke jokes/humor. That's what the idiot sheep of today find funny. He HAS to be that way...otherwise he can't LEARN and CHANGE and become a (somewhat) better person...ugh it makes me mad lol!
@@chasec143 Lines are blurred. Reality and fiction. Adults cosplay while their kids reprogram computers. Society isn't perfect, but were supposed to try and be good. Everything is preachy now as opposed to tv showing us how we 'should' be and act - and using tv and movies to show the crummy side and try to change it. Now the crummy is all we see and - that's out entertainment too. You're supposed to teach your kids tv isn't real, ALL people don't act a certain way, morals, respect, ect... now everyone is just a pussy hiding behind some false identity, always crying... what a mess we've made. I like the looking back on simpler times mentality has finally been lost to ages... "Remember when you were a kid, and you could look at porn and beheading videos on your phone is school and your teacher thought you were working? ...the best..!"
Yes sir THOSE DAYS are gone now but THE reruns are still around, Richard Dawson was a good person on & off camera FAMILY feud was a great show with him as host, match game, hogens heroes, Richard was good. R.i.P. MR DAWSON.
I love the fact that when a contestant answered poorly, the studio audience would literally boo them - lmao. No political correctness and it was wonderful.
@@IoonatheworId How do you not get this? No political correction back then, hence it aired on TV. Political correctness now (woke) so it is no longer aired. And yes. We were a lot tougher. Sadly other countries are still tough. And we are not. I don't see that ending well.
I read that the producers wanted Klugman to be a regular, but he would only do the show if they gave his wife Brett a job on the show. Of course, JK was too much of a in-demand actor to be on the show all the time.
I always leaned on GSN due to the fact that they had many shows of many production companies.Buzzr has rescued us from the fake game shows that appear on their channel.
I would like to know what idiot came up with the phrase " Politically Correct " .It don't matter what anyone says SOMEONE is gonna get pissed.. So sick of hearing this stupid term .
Gene wanted Jack Klugman to appear; he was on the TV version of "The Odd Couple" at the time. Jack Klugman said, "only of you put my wife on too". Klugman turned out to be wooden and unfunny while Somers was hilarious and her rapport with Reilly was just epic, and she became a permanent panelist.

But I love the Gong Show remake, even though it only airs during the summer. Also, the Match Game remake is good too. But I noticed in the new MG, they’re more lenient when it comes to matching the contestants answers to the celebrities.
Kristy Hopkins look back then to get big shot celebrities on TV shows you have to get them drunk they were not comfortable performing before a live audience. So you have to give them some kind of liquid libration to loosen up when live TV came out it scared the hell out of movie stars and Stage actors there's a good movie came out about this start Peter O'Toole it was supposedly the 1950s and he was a famous Broadway actor and his character that was an out-of-work drunk after they told him you're going to play on live TV and Peter O'Toole's character said well if that's the case I need to get drunk first so that's what they had to do back then in order to get a celebrity on TV LiveTV get them drunk.
Kristy Hopkins, mostly only on the Friday shows. They taped the shows with the Friday show shot after lunch. A few would have a drink or two during lunch.
@@charlesneely Nope, alot of the actors/actress did plays and some shows were tape live in front of an audience.. Richard didn't drink, Gene told Brett that he didn't drink because of a rotten liver in ep 702. They were served one cocktail to loosen them up according to Patti D but they were already a walking party sober and were all professional. One staff said they didn't serve any cocktails but I can't see any of them drunk on the show but this was the Thursday/Friday shows..
Brett could not get any less of a reaction if she had answered “a puppy”. Nobody on that set could have care less about her answer. Some people today are so sensitive to every little fucking thing they’ve rendered themselves nonfunctional and useless.
Um...the reason nobody had a problem with that is nobody gave a shit about respecting gay people back then. Sure a bunch of people have gotten well out of hand with political correctness these days, but let's not celebrate a time where people felt they could use a derogatory term on national television with impunity.

@@lauriefarless959 No she died of heart failure. Autopsy showed no food in her throat, goggle it. A dumbass journalist made it up to make fun of an overweight dead woman, shameful. Maybe you should fact check before making comments.
If not banned for the word in a dictionary then it would have been banned by feminists for the presenter patronizing the contestant for complementing her earings and calling her beautiful....
wow brett's answer wd never fly today! and i don't remember this episode but back then i probably wd hv thot nothing of it. today i had to rewind to make sure i'd heard what i thought i heard lol
i've seen celebs refer to THEMSELVES as "fags" way into the nineties. a dean martin roast from this year '73 would wind up publicized as a scandal and could not be tolerated today. that being said, this episode of match game features mama Cass Elliot who only lives for another six months, five years before my own mother passed away. much too soon, in their thirties. young women, really.
Love this show its difficult to watch when the contestants aren't too bright. I love seeing these stars especially Cass bc she was an awesome person who died too young.
I think Brett probably spent a lot of time around gay men and heard that word bandied about quite a bit by them and therefore thought nothing of using it herself. Big deal.
exactly. if you weren't around in those times and only know these ridiculous over sensitive pc times you can't understand. no one thought anything of it and life was good.
This was my favorite game show very calming. The word fag was a very popular term back then. We used the word for feminine type guys, and we were all friends. Straight and Gay we were all friends. Sad what happened in the late 70's and 80's with Aids. very sad that people died just for having sex. Even worse now is that we are divided by sexual preference. I guess that is what the intent was with the virus making everyone hate each other..

@@trudykennedy2087 not in England or going way back. America turned it into something ugly. America replaced it with gay. Thay word has been used more often in racist ugly situations. If you were alive in this era these phrases weren't offensive. There were many to describe many different classes different races even Caucasians and they talked to each other like this. And in the hippie norm, very many were bisexual free love so none took these words as offensive. Only modern day people who started their own agendas and reasons to protest and don't know anything about free love fighting the establishment loving people of all races, all religions, all gendres all sexual preferences etc
@@ednaatluxton4918 just because it was widely used doesnt mean it was never offensive. in england it is used as a cigarette but was still used as aomophobic slur.

Agreed. The new match game with alec baldwin is unwatchable garbage.

I watch reruns on buzz and game show network
I had a babysitter when I was little who always had the TV on at her place, and she got me hooked on game shows, including Match Game, over KOLR, channel 10, the Ozarks' CBS affiliate.
"There's a drip from the roof of my dressing room..." lol
Had no idea Cass Elliot had been on there. She was gone the next year sadly.
One year before Mama Cass passed away in her apartment...what a loss.I was 9 years old.Remember reading it in the news paper.
damn ham sandwich!
Holy crap , watching this show again really makes me feel old!
@@jameshudson169 No truth to that story. It was baloney
@@joeambrose3260 LOL....
Sad to see Cass not long before she died of a heart attack. The show also was not in it's stride yet the questions and the celebs were not as zany as 1975-1977 when this show was at it's peak.

So many *ugly* spirited people in the comment section.
My friend Faith was an average size pretty European 26 year old, who many guys wanted to date in my home town, but had stolen the heart of a fellow European guy originally from Romania.
She started getting sick and was tested and found to have Chronic Kidney Disease. They put her on medication, which was a steroid, for her CKD. As with many steroid drugs, along with other medications such as insulin..... she started gaining weight uncontrollably. By the time she was getting married 6 months later, she had gained 40 pounds...now needing her gown altered to fit. A year later, she had grown to nearly 80 pounds overweight. They adjusted her meds repeatedly, but could never get the weight off.
Looking at her weight, you could assume and make jokes about eating, pig etc..... but you would be a jerk, and as she fights for her life 20 years later, waiting for a kidney ..... she will still be a better human being than some of you in this comment section.
She is kind, thoughtful, and has never mistreated anyone or looked down on others. This world will never deserve such people.
@@bigbertha4080 I agree with you - don't be mean.
Also tho we can acknowledge that 80% to 95% of overweight people are NOT overweight for health issues. They are overweight from eating the wrong foods/ too much food. A number of people who blame their weight on age or being big-boned or having a baby or birth control hormones or surgery years ago. These people so focused on HOW/ WHAT initially caused it while ignoring what is needed to maintain all that extra weight. It requires CONTINUING to eat too much of wrong food = portion control 101. People who r obese should try what can to get control & get healthy. Esp young people, like how Mama June had no control over her own eating & instilled same failed relationship w food to Honey Booboo. We might only have 1 life, so should all try for a prolonged life of health. Overeating is not healthy.
BOTTOM LINE: NOBODY should say hurtful mean things to ANYONE, but we should all value health for as long as we can. That is part of respecting the gift of life.
The word in question is used in reference to cigarettes. That is a slang term back then for a cig
Only in the UK. In the US it doesn’t mean cigarettes.
I was four years young when this episode aired. My mother watched this show all the time back then.
Mama Cass gave really good answers! I Loved this game show and sure do miss it.💞
I watched it all the time. I was 13 when this aired. But I had no idea what Cass was famous for until years later. We weren't permitted to listen to "The Devil's Music." Highly suggestive game shows sure, but never "The Devil's Music." Mom was an ironic person.
At 5:39 - in case you just want to get right to it and skip the rest.
_Thank you, thank you, _*_thank you!_*
I used to pretend being sick so I could stay home and watch this and many more game shows.
Same !
It's a shame that people can't take things in historical context. There was no malice to it. It was just banter.
It was a bit edgy, but that was the whole vibe of the show with the double entendres.
MJCLAXDEN ......I used to have a double entendre everyday after work at Mel's Bar near my house.
Loretta was hot back then. I was a kid and fantasized about her

Brett's rude comment about size was disrespectful.

2019 - The entire panel has passed except Loretta Swit, Life sucks.
I hear ya man , we all say 'life is short' and then we realize it ...
It was pretty wild to see Cass Elliott there. I was so young back then that I almost didn't realize she was a regular person like everyone else. In music circles shes's basically a deity these days.
Nah; dyin' does.
@@Ilurk247 Today in America fat women is normal and no make-up in a t-shirt and stretch pants lol.
CNR is still alive. I know he wasn't in this particular episode, but a lot of people think he's passed. Well he hasn't yet!
I don't think Brett is homophobic. Gays use the word among themselves playfully. Also, I have seen two episodes where Brett insults Anita Bryant and says she loves the people Anita Bryant hates. Plus, she and Charles seem to genuinely like each other.
I believe she was married to Jack Klugman, too
She was married to Klugman for over 50 years. Up to the day she died.
Though they were separated.
as a gay i dont think she meant it in a bad way.
I saw news article after she died saying she was lifelong friends with CNR and visited him until he died. She died less than four months later.
Richard does a great W.C. Fields impression at 6:01.
Bliggick U KAWT THAT VERY OBSERVANT JANET JACKSON DOES A KILLER MAE WEST!! KANYE'S GREAT GREAT AUNT!!! F A C T S!!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL
Mark Proksch does the best W.C. Fields.
I like Richard's Paul Lynde impression that he does from time to time on the show.
Mama Cass on a game show! Good times back then.
Look up the HR Puffenstuff movie.
I really loved this show, was great.
I can remember being home sick from school and watching this and others. When your 7 years old daytime TV was so much different than the what you were used to after school or at night
Those were the days
Hell yes
"Gee our old LaSalle ran great ..."
That's pretty neat that husband and wife are on the show together. Jack Klugman and Brett Somers. What a pair!😀
They were divorced when on this show they were married for 20 years but not while appearing on MG.
Wrong!!!!
Don't flirt while you're operating was my answer. Smoke is the best answer, though.
I was thinking oggle. Beautiful nurse.
Times change, I guess. I remember Archie Bunker (Carrol O'Connor) using the word to describe Englishmen on "All in the Family". No way one could say that on a show now.
George Klimes - all the PC bullshit is the worst.
Love me some Archie Bunker!♥️
and it;s SO STUPID because...that's THE character, he's a BIGOT so he WOULD say that. TODAY they'd clean him up and take his edge away...but do LOTS and LOTS of poop, piss, period and puke jokes/humor. That's what the idiot sheep of today find funny. He HAS to be that way...otherwise he can't LEARN and CHANGE and become a (somewhat) better person...ugh it makes me mad lol!
the newer generations are just too sensitive
@@chasec143 Lines are blurred. Reality and fiction. Adults cosplay while their kids reprogram computers. Society isn't perfect, but were supposed to try and be good. Everything is preachy now as opposed to tv showing us how we 'should' be and act - and using tv and movies to show the crummy side and try to change it. Now the crummy is all we see and - that's out entertainment too. You're supposed to teach your kids tv isn't real, ALL people don't act a certain way, morals, respect, ect... now everyone is just a pussy hiding behind some false identity, always crying... what a mess we've made. I like the looking back on simpler times mentality has finally been lost to ages... "Remember when you were a kid, and you could look at porn and beheading videos on your phone is school and your teacher thought you were working? ...the best..!"
Whew. Of all the celebs, I think Loretta Switt is the only one still living.
my grandparents would watch this on gameshow network for the longest. My grandma loved Brett and Charles
great to see mama cass and Loretta looking lovely here. but, the questions are so bloody difficult to get answers too.
That is what made it funny and fun❣️😂🤣
The W.C. Fields bit was pretty cool. That guy always acted shocked by every little thing.
Yes sir THOSE DAYS are gone now but THE reruns are still around, Richard Dawson was a good person on & off camera FAMILY feud was a great show with him as host, match game, hogens heroes, Richard was good. R.i.P. MR DAWSON.
I liked him in Running Man.
I love the fact that when a contestant answered poorly, the studio audience would literally boo them - lmao.
No political correctness and it was wonderful.
Yeah we were a much tougher resilient bunch.
No political correctness? Did you not read the title?
@@IoonatheworId How do you not get this? No political correction back then, hence it aired on TV. Political correctness now (woke) so it is no longer aired. And yes. We were a lot tougher. Sadly other countries are still tough. And we are not. I don't see that ending well.
Cause booing is ok... right. I have no time for Woke or for Heroes like you.
And not all of the hype and yelling and screaming
Ironically, charles nelson reilly wasnt there seated next to her that day...
or Paul Lynde but that's a different show
I read that the producers wanted Klugman to be a regular, but he would only do the show if they gave his wife Brett a job on the show. Of course, JK was too much of a in-demand actor to be on the show all the time.
CNR wouldn’t have cared. He probably would have laughed.
I miss this type of clean television game shows.
I always leaned on GSN due to the fact that they had many shows of many production companies.Buzzr has rescued us from the fake game shows that appear on their channel.
still comes on buzzr channel
I love Match Game, watch reruns every night lol
"Clean"? This show was always good for a raunchy question or two.
@@stevenjoyal6565 Clean compared to what we have now. Oh, and also usually more subtle and clever.
I would like to know what idiot came up with the phrase " Politically Correct " .It don't matter what anyone says SOMEONE is gonna get pissed.. So sick of hearing this stupid term .
you're sick of hearing it because the people who use it are conditioned not to think but to parrot overused Orwellian mind control terms.
Joseph Stalin came up with the phrase. It was a list of things not allowed to be discussed in public in the Stalin era of the USSR.
What we really do now is suffer from nowadays is "Social Correctness".
Joseph Stalin came up with the statement about what was and was not acceptable to talk about in public in the Soviet Union circa 1950.
Me too
Did anyone know that Brett Somers was married to Jack Klugman when this show was taped?
goodwilj, everyone knew, not a secret. She made jokes about him all the time; even when he was a panelist also.
She also played his wife on the odd couple... she was Blanche
Gene wanted Jack Klugman to appear; he was on the TV version of "The Odd Couple" at the time. Jack Klugman said, "only of you put my wife on too".
Klugman turned out to be wooden and unfunny while Somers was hilarious and her rapport with Reilly was just epic, and she became a permanent panelist.
Yes, she made reference to it often.
Wow! Lucky guy.
73 was the height of this show, 74 was almost as good
The height, for me, is when Richard Dawson was still on.
Thanks for posting this episode. I like watching the old shows to see how excited contestants get over winning a VCR or CD player. LOL
They only invented those in the '80s.
I remember watching "the match game ",after school when I was a teenager. I also watched the original "Gong" show hosted by Chuck Barris .

Allen Mickewich yeah,jp.(juicy pussy) Morgan was hot!
They've recently tried to revive the GS, but it's just not the same without Chuck, Mean Gene, the dancing machine, and the rest of the loonitics
Allen Mickewich Yes original Gong Show was best. Remember the "Unknown Comic" in the paper bag cover his head with eye slits?
But I love the Gong Show remake, even though it only airs during the summer. Also, the Match Game remake is good too. But I noticed in the new MG, they’re more lenient when it comes to matching the contestants answers to the celebrities.
Best show ever! Everyone was drunk
Kristy Hopkins look back then to get big shot celebrities on TV shows you have to get them drunk they were not comfortable performing before a live audience. So you have to give them some kind of liquid libration to loosen up when live TV came out it scared the hell out of movie stars and Stage actors there's a good movie came out about this start Peter O'Toole it was supposedly the 1950s and he was a famous Broadway actor and his character that was an out-of-work drunk after they told him you're going to play on live TV and Peter O'Toole's character said well if that's the case I need to get drunk first so that's what they had to do back then in order to get a celebrity on TV LiveTV get them drunk.
That black beauty really gives out some stupid answer how the hell does she survive on that show
It's well known Richard Dawson did not drink.
Kristy Hopkins, mostly only on the Friday shows. They taped the shows with the Friday show shot after lunch. A few would have a drink or two during lunch.
@@charlesneely Nope, alot of the actors/actress did plays and some shows were tape live in front of an audience.. Richard didn't drink, Gene told Brett that he didn't drink because of a rotten liver in ep 702. They were served one cocktail to loosen them up according to Patti D but they were already a walking party sober and were all professional. One staff said they didn't serve any cocktails but I can't see any of them drunk on the show but this was the Thursday/Friday shows..
I have a bad tooth ache tonight and almost died from a staph infection and I also thank you for posting, these brought good memories - cheers in 2018!
Jayson Williams HOPE UR OKAY BUT WHY DID U SHOOT YOR LIMMO DRIVER ON VALENTINE'S DAY SHOODA BEEN BREAKIN' WIFEY OFF!!#!!!!!!!!!!#
Brett could not get any less of a reaction if she had answered “a puppy”. Nobody on that set could have care less about her answer. Some people today are so sensitive to every little fucking thing they’ve rendered themselves nonfunctional and useless.
@Jitkundough se0za,wtttttwe6tttxg
Um...the reason nobody had a problem with that is nobody gave a shit about respecting gay people back then. Sure a bunch of people have gotten well out of hand with political correctness these days, but let's not celebrate a time where people felt they could use a derogatory term on national television with impunity.
@@peterlane1391 I'm gay and I didn't find it offensive. It was a tongue in cheek remark anyway.

It's cuz every is so self absorbed and LAZY nowadays they can't TEACH their kids that not everything on tv is REAL or RIGHT, etc... Just make everything squeaky clean...well that's not life.
Never seen mama Cass on March game. She's lovely here
That's because she was on Match Game
such a beautiful voice
I was sweet sixteen when this aired. Sweet memories.
Was 18
So was I. I watch this game show all the time
In my younger days I always thought Richard Dawson and Robert Shaw were the same person.
Probably.... They play more than one character
@@newy4593 they're both actors. Both deceased now. Robert Shaw is Quint from Jaws. Thank you for your answer though.
Dawson was a perv
I remember a Tonight Show episode around that time where Cass was complaining of flu like symptoms. Wondering if untreated heart issues.
Cass Elliot (if that's who you mean), died of choking on a sandwich, not heart disease)
She didnt die from choking on a sandwich that was debunked years ago it was heart failure
I wish people would stop bringing up that tired old myth of Mama Cass choking on a sandwich. IT WAS HER HEART!!!
I heard it was a chicken bone. Ate chicken carefully for the rest of my life!
@@lauriefarless959 No she died of heart failure. Autopsy showed no food in her throat, goggle it. A dumbass journalist made it up to make fun of an overweight dead woman, shameful. Maybe you should fact check before making comments.
Nobody brings the cackle like Brett.
What's so controversial about "turning into a cigarette"?
If not banned for the word in a dictionary then it would have been banned by feminists for the presenter patronizing the contestant for complementing her earings and calling her beautiful....
It's the double meaning of the word. British terminology meaning a cigarette, and the opposite being a slang derogatory term for someone gay.
@@edsloan8535 that’s definitely not how it works 😂😂😂
I LOVED watching this show as a kid!! I don't even watch the crap that's on tv now...only the news and that's it.
The news is crap too.
The other contestant was about as sharp as a bowling ball

Yep, it wasn’t a big deal to say it back then. Quite mild, actually, compared to the n word which was used a lot back then, also.
context: brett was a friend to the queer community, she used it the way we do , not as a slur.
@@analogboi Right. Except, we never called ourselves the "queer community" back then.

It's been over 40 years since I'd seen this show.
Love every second of these!
i've seen celebs refer to THEMSELVES as "fags" way into the nineties. a dean martin roast from this year '73 would wind up publicized as a scandal and could not be tolerated today. that being said, this episode of match game features mama Cass Elliot who only lives for another six months, five years before my own mother passed away. much too soon, in their thirties. young women, really.
Love this show its difficult to watch when the contestants aren't too bright. I love seeing these stars especially Cass bc she was an awesome person who died too young.
BANANNA
@@t-bo2734 - Right?? 😂🤦🏻♀️ (I just commented that myself. ✊😄)
I think Brett probably spent a lot of time around gay men and heard that word bandied about quite a bit by them and therefore thought nothing of using it herself. Big deal.
Exactly, it's not as if Gays don't use the term as well. They do.
Yeah, especially CNR.
Of course it was no big deal.this was back in 73 well before any PC speech codes
exactly. if you weren't around in those times and only know these ridiculous over sensitive pc times you can't understand. no one thought anything of it and life was good.
Greg Dueck yep, things change, in 50 years people will say “I can’t believe someone said (whatever) in 2018”
"Baby Blue" was actually an excellent answer at that particular period of the 70s. Would be a bad answer now.
Baby blank, I thought baby blankets
@@rodneydickson784 I thought of baby bottle
I thought Blues.. for baby blues
This was my favorite game show very calming. The word fag was a very popular term back then. We used the word for feminine type guys, and we were all friends. Straight and Gay we were all friends. Sad what happened in the late 70's and 80's with Aids. very sad that people died just for having sex. Even worse now is that we are divided by sexual preference. I guess that is what the intent was with the virus making everyone hate each other..

@@trudykennedy2087 not in England or going way back. America turned it into something ugly. America replaced it with gay. Thay word has been used more often in racist ugly situations.

And in the hippie norm, very many were bisexual free love so none took these words as offensive.
