I LOVED the celebrity MYSTERY CHALLENGER segments of this great show. Doesn't it seem like a POPULAR dvd collection could be released? You had the top of the hill to marginal celebs appearing from 1950-1967. If any one is interested in these great clips, would you come in, and SIGN IN, PLEASE!

I will say this- Dorothy Kilgallen was the homliest woman I ever saw on a regular show.

That's amazing, Eric.
What inspired your apparently intense interest in the show?
I hesitate to ask . . . are you collecting any other shows in similar fashion?

I love game shows. I can remember as a child in the mid-70s when you had as many as 25 network daytime and nightly syndicated game shows on the air in one year and I became introduced to the emcees like Bill Cullen, Allen Ludden, Peter Marshall, Gene Rayburn, Tom Kennedy, Alex Trebek (Alex for me is eternally the goofy host of "High Rollers", not the serious host of "Jeopardy", a show I associate with its original 60s-70s host Art Fleming) etc. as well as the celebrities who were game show regulars. While "What's My Line?" was before my time, it's a show I can connect with based on my game show interest from later years because of the personalities who overlapped both eras. It was fun to watch and could be uproariously funny in its live, spontaneous fashion, and it also had a wonderful elegance to it as well with serious newsman John Daly as the host (Daly was in fact anchoring ABC's nightly newscast at the same time he was hosting WML on a rival network).
My collection has over 6000 individual game show episodes from shows ranging from WML in 1950 to the late 80s and early 90s when game shows ceased to be a regular part of network daytime schedules (save for "Price Is Right" which is the last survivor) and the old hosts/personalities disappeared from the scene.

There is some classic stuff in those old shows, great personalities and some swell humor!

Eric, do you have any of "The Movie Game" (the late '60s game show with celebrity panelists that was first hosted by Sonny Fox, then Larry Blyden)?

I will swear on a stack of Bibles that early 60's eps of PASSWORD were syndicated and televised in the spring and summer of 1970. I was fresh out of 8th grade and they were on at 12:30 in the afternoon. I sat through them because reruns of LOVE THAT BOB started at 1pm!

Those would be the aforementioned CBS color episodes of 1966-67 which were indeed syndicated in repeats through 1971 when the show came back on ABC. In fact, those episodes only exist in their cut-down syndicated versions in which all of Allen's plugs to watch Art Linkletter on "House Party" at the end of each show are edited out along with some other topical references of the moment. The earlier CBS daytime B/W episodes from 1961-66 are gone (except for a handful of kinescopes) but the B/W CBS nighttime episodes that aired from 1962-65 still exist in their original uncut pristine videotape quality (the only Goodson-Todman show of this era that was saved in that format).
I certainly bow to your knowledge. You know your stuff, and it's great for someone to know it. You ought to write a book! No kidding!
