I like the real old shows from the fifties : I've Got a Secret , What's My Line and all.....It is
wonderful seeing the real old (mostly) New York celebrities such as Dorothy Kilgallen , Bennett
Cerf , Henry Morgan & all. All of these people dressed up for the show and were truly relics of
that long ago time when people on television were refined and mannerly (at least on the show ).
I haven't seen these programs shown in a while. I guess they only appeal to those of us who are
old enough to remember them.
And don't forget To Tell the Truth, another favorite.
Had no idea that Dorothy Kilgallen had a drinking problem back then.
Arlene Francis, Bill Cullen, and Johnny Carson were also panelists on these shows. You'd also get guests who were appearing on Broadway at the time.
You can watch them on Buzzr during evening and daytime hours.

From what I gather, Buzzr is very similar in programming to what Game Show Network was like when it was first launched back around 1995. Back then, GSN aired everything from old black and white episodes of I've Got A Secret and What's My Line?, to obscure programs like Whew! and Treasure Hunt, to the classics like Match Game, Press Your Luck, and early season episodes of Alex Trebek's Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune back when contestants would shop for prizes after solving a puzzle. Am I accurate in guessing Buzzr is similar to that?
John Davidson's Hollywood Squares was highly underrated. Joan Rivers in the center square, Jm J Bullock, Charo, Stuart Pankin, and Shadoe Stevens (who was also the announcer) in the squares among many others.
Name that tune was a favorite , plus I liked password , they weren’t scripted in those days , contestants on some game shows now looked like they we’ve been well coached how to act , phony reactions ect ,
Reality shows are the worst , so far from reality there funny .
The Tattletales episodes I saw made it clear that Fannie Flagg and Dick Sargent were "really good friends" rather than husband and wife (or at least claimed they were). They would occasionally have unmarried couples appear, but pairing those two up to dance around the obvious was either a high level of chutzpah, or the best they were allowed to do for "inclusion" of gay people in the late-1970s.
Buzzr is now airing on a couple of streaming channels (I watch it on Pluto), but I have to admit I'm becoming more enamored of their new Bob Barker-era Price Is Right Channel.
My favorites on that channel are:
Match Game
Let's make a deal
Press your luck
