T.O.D.

I had to search the Internet to find the name of the game show that I saw being taped in New York in 1969.  Even after I found the show, the name doesn't sound right.  According to Wikipedia the show was called SNAP JUDGEMENT. The host of the show was Ed McMahon.  It was basically PASSWORD on NBC.  I could have sworn the show was called SAY WHEN.

The memory is the second thing to go!

The only game show taping I ever went to was Beat The Clock. It was taped in Montreal and I believe syndicated in the USA with Jack Narz as host.

The only game show I was on was Chain Reaction. I won a game and won just under 1000 dollars.

When I was a child on those  days I was allowed to stay home from school...mumps, German measles, chicken pox in those days before vaccinations  for such diseases became available ... I used to love a show that had different puzzle pieces, you had to find the two matching pictures and then you were given pieces of the puzzle from which you have to figure out the phrase...... Was it called Concentration?

I slept poorly: around 2:30AM, after about 3.5 hrs of sleep, I was wide awake and remained so for about two hours. Part of the problem was that nothing I had taken would relieve the god-awful pains in my left leg and I couldn't stop brooding over a wrong done me by a person I considered a good friend.  This was not Mr Raines, but someone I recommended for a London job in 2014.

But do you want to know something contemporary that comes close, in a way?  The NPR show "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me."

And something else that at times could reach that level of wit and urbanity?  The Metropolitan Opera intermission features with the panel.

Radio, man.  Our last best hope?

TOD:

My first trip to New York was in the 1970s.  I was there with publicity client actor Gary Lockwood, who co-owed a company that made hang-gliders, to do WHAT'S MY LINE?.  He wasn't the mystery guest.  The panel had to guess his other occupation.

With clients Jack Carter and Steve Kanaly, I also attended tapings of THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES, and with Carter, I booked him on THE MOVIE GAME where we encountered Jane Fonda, then in her anti-war mode.  I write about that in my 2nd memoir, LIFE. LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD.

Yes DR VIXMOM you described Concentration.....they also had a "Steal" panel - if you matched that, you could steal one of your opponents prizes!

DR TCB - there was a show called SAY WHEN.....maybe Art James was on vacation and Ed was filling in.

We always watched WML on Sunday night.....it was followed by Candid Camera, I think.  I loved the show, but hated it because it meant school the next day.  I thought Arlene and Dorothy were very glamorous and Bennett and John were very smart and funny.

One night Arlene mentioned that she and her husband and friends were going to the Peppermint Lounge to do the Twist, and I thought why in the world would those OLD people be doing that!!
Title: Re: WILL THE MYSTERY GUEST SIGN IN PLEASE?

I liked The Price Is Right, Truth or Consequences, To Tell the Truth (especially Polly Bergen but NOT Tom Poston, who was such a pill)  I've Got a Secret.

The Movie Game was weird....in that most of the older stars didn't know as much as the younger stars about movies.....Burt Reynolds was great!!  Shelley Winters was on and in the middle of a game, suddenly she looked at the host Larry Blyden and said....  "Oh.....I know who you are now.....you were married to that cute little dancer in The Pajama Game...."  He replied dryly:  "Yes, I used to be...."  Carol Haney and Larry were divorced and in fact Carol had already died by the time the show was on , and Larry was raising their two kids by himself....and then he was killed in car accident in Morrocco...

Ugh....even worse than I thought:

A rabid collector of antiquities, who would often travel to the furtherest corners of the world in pursuit of a find, Blyden was investigating just such a dig in Morocco when he was killed at the age of 49. According to former co-star Dina Merrill he was carjacked by bandits who killed him and took the car and his valuables. Because there was no identification on the body, his family did not learn of the tragedy for several days afterward.

Kathryn Grayson looked at her and said:  "Well.....that's show business!"

The book covers the time period I was in 7th and 8th grades in Detroit.  There's a lot that's familiar, but it's mostly about all the grown-up stuff that was going on while I was more preoccupied with Camp Fire Girls and having my bedroom painted pink and purple.

DR CILLA LIZ mentioned some more of the games I loved.....summer mornings were great when we could watch the game shows.....or days when we were home from school.

I think there were only a few game shows that I didn't like....The Joker's Wild, High Rollers, Dream House.....and some show where contestants found out if they won the prize by trying to open a couple of HUGE plexiglass doors.....the prize was behind it....if they didn't win, it was locked....

Oh!!!  Yes I always read the notes.  The clip was most entertaining.....I am sorry I didn't mention it.

I think I remember when it was broadcast.  Some of the Mystery Guests acted so silly.....but it was nice to see the panel try to figure things out.  I am sure Dorothy combed the columns all week to see who was in town. 

Some of my favorite questions:

Are you appearing in a supper club in Manhattan?

Are you appearing in a picture that just opened or is about to open in one of the Big Houses on Broadway?

Home from City Center.  I proofread two of Tunick's orchestrations for CABIN N THE SKY.  I look forward to the band reading in two weeks.  The goal is to have 12 charts ready for the orchestra reading.

Well, crap.  When I got home, my television was off, and it meant that something had happened to the DVR/cable box.  Yesterday there was a problem with its acting wonky.  So, I turned it back on and in the next hour, it shit itself off three times, and now it will not play. 

Tomorrow between 9:00 and 10AM, a Time warner sertvice person will show up and bring me a new cable box.  so, no TV tonight. Damn.

New battery installed and working fine.  My last battery came from the dealer, and since I've had a few electrical problems since getting it, I'm just going to assume they put in something cheap.  THIS new battery is top of the line and has a three year replacement warranty.  The guy at the Infiniti dealer tried to tell me that despite all new batteries having warranties they couldn't ever guarantee a battery would have a life.  Really?  I'm going right to corporate with that crap because I want to be reimbursed for this, since the bad battery was less than two years old.

From the bits that are there, I'm enjoying Imelda Staunton and Herbie, but nothing else, especially the choreography - an occasional nod to Mr. Robbins, but the rest is from hunger.  Note to choreographer: If you're going to change Jerry Robbins' choreography you'd better damn well be good at your job.  You're not.

I don't like the Louise at all, and the rest seem to really be overselling everything.

The Time Warner company needs to hire phone reps who speak English as a first language. The one who called me this evening, after i thought an appointment was set for tomorrow, kept calling me "Mr Moorra" and sounded as though he had a Pakastani-Indian-Middle Eastern accent, and I understood at most 5% of what he said.  I think he assured me that the problem has been solved on Time Warner's end and that all is good. So, no serviceman tomorrow.

And she's so OLD!  I guess Rosalind Russell will always be Rose for me....

Yes DR VIXMOM you described Concentration.....they also had a "Steal" panel - if you matched that, you could steal one of your opponents prizes!

DR TCB - there was a show called SAY WHEN.....maybe Art James was on vacation and Ed was filling in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCmGjJZVbsk


No, I checked out SAY WHEN first, but it was not the right time period.  It had to be on the air in March 1969.  And it was definitely NBC's version of PASSWORD.  Anyway, we got to do a nice interview with Johnny Olson (between tapings), did a brief interview with Nipsy Russell (a-hole), and I got to talk to Ed McMahon when he returned from lunch break (he was very drunk).  I just don't remember it being called SNAP JUDGEMENT.

The other two years, we were up against a team in which one guy answered most every question asked correctly and in advance of anyone else. The only questions I answered were related to Shakespeare, if I recall correctly.
