Match Game '74: Confucius Say...

[MrKUBRICKIAN]

In the mid 70's,blyden was carjacked and murdered a few days before he turned 50.He had great comedic talent,and will be missed.I loved his performance in the cold and clever alfred hitchcock hour episode,''wally the beard''.A tragic and touching performance,that truly showed the talent he had.

Silly me, I would have said, "Nurses."

[Madelow56]

I miss Larry Blyden. A great game show host & panelist.

[deadparrot24018]

R.I.P. Larry Blyden. Left us much too soon!

[court506]

Who makes you soup!!!!!

[Saskifried]

Welcome to good television. Tongue in cheek, liberal slang and not politically correct, however nobody should be offended by any of this. Notice the openly gay man completely accepted and loved sitting on that panel? If people cannot laugh at the differences of our cultures and races we cannot get along. Respect is much different from comedy, where lines are crossed to make us laugh and accept each others differences, not to make us offended. =)

gene went from chinese to italian haha

[delightfulstar]

"I love it when you say 'everyone participates'..." LOL Brett!!! ;-)

[Indygoguy]

i don't want my friends to kiss me

[karkovice10]

I don't think "shmuck" is considered a four letter word nowadays. I think whoever edited that word out needs to unedit it... It's still funny, though. :)

[triviafreak1]

The humour and all the goofiness on this show is just CLASSIC!!

[scoobydoo11111]

Confucius was really confused in this episode of Match Game!

[Nemesis7293]

Oh my God! Are we so freaking poisoned with PC fascism that we can't even admit that Chinese people have accents??? JeezusPleezus, LIGHTEN UP, PEOPLE!!!

[movienotes]

@Nemesis7293 When you're light, you're light!

[graperonto]

@movienotes Ah... so turn reft at the right, light?

[sportsmedia25]

This is certainly not PC but for it's time it's forgivable. If it were to happen now, that wouldn't be good

[joebradio]

real early clip.. Gene had not figued out yet how to extend his microphone ...

[taurnguard]

@joebradio I thought Fannie Flagg extended Gene's microphone several times. :)

[joebradio]

@taurnguard ***rim shot**

[gabsylv]

think about the response to rosie o donnell's chinese accent--times have changed

[movienotes]

Oh, come on -- it's not like people need an excuse to not like Rosie O'Donnell!

[WisconsinRun]

You can forget about politicall correctness with all the crap on todays reality tv,atleast these folks are funny!

[ericandy88]

And for that matter, how come Brett's mentioning of "damn" & "bloody" escaped the bleeper? I would imagine that was even more shocking for the '70s.

[Darreck3]

Ericandy88: This was a Game Show from the time when we were less... sensitive and game shows were more about the fun and not as much about the money.

[ericandy88]

But today, you here those two words on the Disney Channel (not really, but they are more common & unfiltered now). Then, even with groundbreaking shows like ALL IN THE FAMILY on the air, I would imagine certain profanities were still off-limits.

[ihearcalling]

the chinese accent is HILARIOUS. not in a good way, though.

[frankd1965]

does anyone have a clip about Lawrence Welk? The Lawrence Welk questions were FUNNY

[EUROBAS]

I true friend is someone who breaks you when you have a cold ! And every other people kisses.

[Bballpat94]

I saw this episode and I didn't notice.

[Bballpat94]

I watched that episode and I didn't know that.

[seabisquick]

Well, Larry was the only Caucasian with a lead role in "Flower Drum Song" ...

(They bleeped out Larry saying "Schmuck"?)

[ericandy88]

I caught that, too. Why was that unspeakable at the time?

[MEDINAHSHRINER]

Cause it ends in uck and could be confused Peking Duck
