Maraschino cherries are cherries that are preserved and sweetened, and they are used to decorate cakes, yoghurt and ice cream and are also used in cocktails.
H/H match update: ... Today's action: Charles' "Honeymoon" won our champion her third game (although, to be fair, the entire panel had the exact same answer). Today's (first) audience match question: "________ Soda " (My thoughts: Baking, Club, Scotch and) The celebs: Richard (Club), Bert (Bicarbonate of), and Charles (Ice cream) The choice: Ice cream The answers: Scotch and, Baking, Ice Cream (Kudos to Charles for coming with the top answer in third position!) Our champion wisely went with Charles' suggestion instead of Richard's today. Does that mean that she might make a new choice for the head-to-head today? Or will she stick with Richard despite two misses so far? If I had to bet, I'd say she sticks with Richard... It's Richard again. Counting today, he has played all but four of the past 37 H/H questions. He's matched four of his ten most recent attempts (40% is actually a very decent success rate for the H/H), but he's missed the last four in a row (although the miss in 782 certainly wasn't his fault). Well, fingers crossed that our champion will finally score a win in the head-to-head! Today's (first) H/H question: "_______ Cherries" (My first thought was Bing. But then Maraschino comes to mind. I'm not sure if Bing cherries were a thing back in 1976, so I'll go with Maraschino.) Richard takes a minute to debate. He glances at Fannie and writes his answer. It seems to be a longish response. "I got a bunch of 'em this time!" she says, alluding to when she'd drawn a blank on the prior H/H questions. She's debating though. She says her first thought is something that Richard wouldn't have written, so she might go for her other choice. After a bit of hesitation, she says "Bing" cherries and the audience heartily applauds... Well, I guess that answers my questions about whether Bing cherries were a thing in 1976. Oh well, I already gave my answer and I can't change it now. I can't wait to see what Richard wrote! Richard wrote "Marachino" [sic]. No match this time. ~~~ A quick game results in our champion's defeat. After three victories, she goes home with $1,800. A new champion stands at the ready. Will she have better luck at the head-to-head? Today's (second) audience match question: "Pen ________ " (My thoughts: Knife, and pencil, pal) The celebs: Fannie (Pal), Charles (Knife), and Richard (and pencil) The choice: Pal The answers: (-)Manship, And Pencil, Pal Our new champion chose Fannie's suggestion and won $500. But will she choose Fannie for the head-to-head? I've seen many contestants choose Richard for the third suggestion and still pick him for the H/H (even if his answer didn't appear on the audience match board). This contestant doesn't seem like a Team Richard member to me though. Let's see... She seems to waver... She chooses Fannie! This is her second play this week (she matched on "Monday" - episode 781). Whatever the result, this will once again break the tie with Betty White (both currently have an incredible 50% accuracy score in the head-to-head). This is Fannie's 25th time playing the H/H. Today's (second) H/H question: "Sky _______" (My first thought is that this is easier than today's first question. I'll say sky blue. I guess skylark would be my second choice. Then there's sky dive/diving.) Fannie's got her "thinking" glasses on and writes her answer pretty quickly. She's looking over at Richard, but doesn't hesitate filing her card. Ding. Our champion says "Dive." Wow. I didn't think that was common or generic enough, so I discarded that answer. The audience offers only a smattering of polite applause. It doesn't seem likely, but it's certainly not impossible! Anyway, it's up to Fannie now. Fannie wrote "Cap." No match this time. Here's our updated leader board showing the 11 celebs with at least 3 H/H matches, ranked by accuracy: (Note: An asterisk before a celebrity's name signifies that she has "retired" from the show and her H/H stats are now complete.) (Note: For tied scores, I consider the one with the greater number of matches to be higher; if the matches are equal, the celeb who first achieved that score goes on top.) Orson Bean - 100% (4 wins in 4 attempts). Gary Burghoff - 83.3% (5 wins in 6 attempts). TIE: (*)Jo Anne Worley - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). TIE: Joyce Bulifant - 75% (3 wins in 4 attempts). Charles - 51.0% (27 wins in 53 attempts). Betty - 50.0% (18 wins in 36 attempts). Fannie - 48.0% (12 wins in 25 attempts). Jo Ann Pflug - 44.4% (8 wins in 18 attempts). Richard - 41.4% (195 wins in 471 attempts). Brett - 41.3% (26 wins in 63 attempts). Bert Convy - 33.3% (5 wins in 15 attempts). *These stats include every head-to-head match from episode 1 through 784, excluding the lost/missing/damaged episodes: 31, 32, 33, 311, 312, 313, 324, 325, and 645. (As per MatchGameProductions, these episodes "are nowhere to be found and also aren't in the Goodson/Todman Library. Sadly, looks like they are lost forever!")

Richard Dawson looks like a mobster from "Miami Vice"
lakebay972 A few episodes ago, he was dressed like Buster Brown.

Too bad the picture quality sucks. Not the uploaders' fault, tho.
I was thinking marish..., maricin... Uh, what Richard Dawson said for "________ cherries."
Sorry, that should have read "frozen yoghurt".
It's kinda funny that Charles would be so attracted to a woman named Gay.
19:08 Fanny not-so-subtly calling attention to the effect of two large-busted women hugging. Undoubtedly, she was not displeased.
Did he say "zero the machines" before the Tie-Breaker??
Richard Dawson worst dressed person😮
Who in the world would willingly name their child Gay
+rebecca Kilburn The word didn't have the same connotation in those days. It used to be fairly common before being usurped.
rebecca Kilburn Gay's definition was changed from something happy to what it is today!!!!!!
Gaye (not "Gay") was a fairly common woman's name. Like many names (Ethel, Edith, Bertha, Mildred, Gertrude, etc.), it has gone out of style.
Lovely Linda... Match Game always had the prettiest contestants!
Diet Soda
Picture is flickering so annoying but watchable.Love Patty Duke thou.
Confusing! Two late hosts wearing red. The FBI or CIA might be on a clown chase.
Anthony Hobson and Randy Hansen, there is NO H in Yogurt!!
+Jeffrey Tanner I believe they spell it with an H in England.
Thanks so much for uploading.
