Gail on Match Game

Right now on GSN, Match Game is airing the week of episodes with Gail Farrell on the panel.

Well, to be exact....four-fifths of that week, they skipped an episode again, the one I NEEDED to complete my collection!

I just wish the network (GSN) did not skip episodes....who knows what we are missing?

All I needed was episode #111 from season one of the syndicated Match Game (aired 1979 to 1982), that's the Monday show where Gail makes her debut on the panel.

Anyone who has a copy, contact me....we'll negotiate a deal!

Take a BLANK at these!

Here are some new pictures of Gail Farrell's tour of duty on Match Game.

From a Round One question: In Hollywood, Sid said, "I just saw the Goodyear blimp, well it was either the Goodyear blimp or it was BLANK wearing a silver suit"

Gail answered, "Orson Welles" and that was a match!
And here's a Round Two question on the following show: Rita said, "The world is a mess, everything is sinking, even my BLANK is lower than last year!"


Gail's answer? Derriere. However it was not a match.
As always, the shows are fun to watch.....she did the Champagne Music Makers very proud indeed!

Take a BLANK at these!

Gail Farrell on Match Game

Got to watch one of Gail Farrell's appearances on Match Game, these are from her first time around.....the 1979-80 season.

While they are always fun to watch, I think GSN must be episode-skipping again because I think they showed her second episode of her first five.

I hate it when they do that! Especially since I only have the last two shows of that cycle and I needed the first three to complete the set, to go along with my set of the entire 1981-82 cycle....her second time on the show.

If anyone has a copy of her first MG episode, or maybe her third if they skip episodes again....let me know.

Memories of Match Game

Anyone who likes game shows, or has GSN on their cable....knows all about the classic game show Match Game, hosted by Gene Rayburn.

And of course...all Lawrence Welk fans know that two times, in 1979 and 1981, our Gail Farrell appared on the celebrity panel....matching BLANK and BLANK

I have all of her shows from '81....but I am still looking for her first three shows from '79....and you can tell that she had wunnerful fun both times!

Here are some YouTube clips of Gail at her best....first when she's given a great introduction by Gene...


And second, when she's playing the big money supermatch for $10,000....


Here's another gem...as my tribute to celebrity panelist Charles Nelson Reilly, from the guys at Mystery Science Theater 3000....Crow's one man tour-de-farce production of "Give 'Em Hell...BLANK!"


Personally....I'm looking forward to the sequel, where Gail is sitting with the panel.
