It’s another unforgettable installment of Match Game ’73. This show captures a moment when the series truly hits its stride, blending new panel energy with classic Match Game chaos. This episode is especially notable for a bit of show history it marks the first time Gene Rayburn uses his iconic telescoping microphone, a signature prop that would soon become inseparable from the show itself. Viewers also get a fresh dynamic at the panel as Joyce Bulifant makes her Match Game debut. The panel for the day features Brett Somers, Richard Dawson, Morey Amsterdam, Ann Elder, Robert Q. Lewis (in one of his rare color television appearances), and Bulifant, with Gene steering the fun as only he can. From misunderstood questions and perfectly timed double entendres to Gene’s infectious laughter and a panel clearly having a blast, this episode perfectly showcases why Match Game ’73 remains endlessly rewatchable. 📅 Taped: October 1973 📺 Aired: November 1973 🎤 Host: Gene Rayburn ---------------------------------------------------------------- Stream BUZZR 24/7 for FREE with one easy click on the following platforms: The Roku Channel: bit.ly/BuzzrROKU Pluto TV: bit.ly/BuzzrPLUTO Tubi: bit.ly/BuzzrTUBI Xumo Play: bit.ly/BuzzrXUMO BUZZRtv.com: bit.ly/BuzzrWATCH Find BUZZR on the following platforms and services: Samsung TV Plus: bit.ly/BUZZRSamsungTV Vizio WatchFree+: http://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus Sling: https://bit.ly/BUZZRSlingTV Dish: bit.ly/BuzzrDISH Watch classic episodes on demand with Amazon Prime: amzn.to/3X8yNg2 Find BUZZR in your area: http://bit.ly/FindBUZZR ---------------------------------------------------------------- Say "hi" sometime...
