i only saw this when i was 'sick' as a child, but it was awesome -- gene rayburn's foot-long mike, cnr being fey, barely shaded references to things i didn't understand. dawson was always the best, tho -- i'm amazed that he was only 79 because he always seemed like the exhausted voice of epic experience

I saw him once walking around one of the ponds in Central Park, the one near the Summerstage, near where Al Bundy/Ed O'Neill gave a briefing to Steve Martin in The Spanish Prisoner. He was dressed pretty much the same and had a smile frozen on his face. Only the wand mic was missing. I didn't say anything to him but now I would have.
― I don't know what to read so I am reading it here (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 17:54 (fourteen years ago)
Should've offered to buy him a drink probably.

If only I had thought of that.
It wasn't Steve Martin, it was the other guy, George C. Scott's son, Campbell Scott.

I'm sure there ultimately was resentment for taking jobs away from the other on TV? (on Lynde's part, at least; he could be a bitter guy)

So it seems that Scoey Mitchell was a bit actor, but his main claim to fame is being on Match Game? Could that be true?
― Josefa, Friday, 11 February 2022 19:14 (four years ago)
I remember asking my mom who he was and she knew of him from things other than Match Game but yeah I guess he's like Charles and Brett and well basically all the regulars: C level celebrities prior and now best known for being on Match Game.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 11 February 2022 19:35 (four years ago)
My mom is just a trove of "who's that? What were they in?" knowledge. She got hooked for awhile on watching Tattletales on GSN too, interesting to see how some couples interact on that show given her knowledge of how their marriage turned out
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 11 February 2022 19:37 (four years ago)
I believe Scoey Mitchell was more of a Broadway actor who did a little TV and film on top of a ton of game shows.

Wow at this latest.Just found an image of Scoey Mitchell as a boxer with Marlo Thomas and Ted Bessell looking on which, of course, was from an episode of That Girl.Also came to note that it doesn't seem Conny Van Dyke has been mentioned yet.

Been scheduling my lunch breaks around MG reruns these days. My dream panel, working off Josepha's template from a few years back:
top left: someone cute, like Bert Convy, or Anson Williamstop middle: Brett Somerstop right: Charles Nelson Reillybottom left: kinda feel like leaving this one open for the hetero guys to pick. Adrienne Barbeau, perhaps.bottom middle: Dickie Dawsonbottom right: Betty White
Not crazy about the '79 run, honestly: Dawson swapped out for that Tom Arnold-looking guy, the weird new set with the Confederate Flag motif...I kinda get why there was now Match Game '80.

Great choices. I've been watching whatever episode aired 50 years ago on this date when I need something requiring half-attention span on while playing with the cat, thanks to a Match Game YouTube playlists for each year. The audience survey choices are always fun because I get to use my 1970s knowledge to guess what someone in 1975 would have thought was common, rather than the first thing that comes to my own mind.
