So, the Gallagher thing. Was that because Tony Dow bailed last-minute or something?
Also, MG-HS really helps show the importance of the rhythm of the panel the original had. Six men on the panel for MG feels like it really throws something off.

How many women joined for HS?

I think it's just their formula at work. They routinely booked one bonafide comic, likely to bolster the comedy in a joke-less Squares, and/or to help inject humor where an NBC soap opera star may not be able to provide on Match Game. The MGHSH "Salute to the Fifties" had a bunch of stars of yesteryear and Jay Leno.

The Tuesday show is rerunning now, plus at 11 PM Eastern. The Wednesday show reruns at 3 PM Eastern tomorrow.
Richard Deacon wasn't the only guest to play exclusively Match Game this week. Jerry Mathers was the center square for the week, for obvious reasons. Gallagher did, presumably because each show had Gallagher introduced first, then the whole shebang about Leave It to Beaver's cast. Ken Osmond as well, to Beaver's left. Barbara Billingsley, Rich Cordell, Jeri Well, and Frank Bank rotated taking the leftover Match Game spot.

Also notable--the MG segment had the cast members' actual names in their podia, while the HSq and Super Match segments used their character names. (Gallagher got to play the Gallagher character all show long--he earned that right after his last watermelon explosion.)
