THE NEWLYWED GAME hosted by Bob Eubanks. That game show wasn't appealing to me, but sure did like Bob as a KTLA host for the Rose Parade. Way, way back when we had C-band (big dish), we'd subscribe to KTLA only for Jan so we could get that commercial-free version. Not even close to the same after he retired from it.

We picked up a lot of CBC shows being just across the Detroit River from Windsor, Ont. But that's one that slipped my attention. Poor Johnnie slipped through many cracks. Mayonnaise btw - something about electrostatic charge, eggs not binding or whipping. I really enjoyed Newlywed Game. Had no idea there have been so many replacements. Dating Game was amusing until so may clips of crazed killers came up - not much screening of contestants!? I was enjoying watching old reruns of What's My Line. I had only caught the end of it's run as a kid. Then I noticed Dorothy Kilgallen disappeared all of a sudden and hit the internet to find out why. I hope the movie based on her being The Reporter Who Knew Too Much sees the light of day eventually. Off to google Sale of the Century and People Are Funny. Don't recall either of them.

Still, it was pretty popular...Even Daffy Duck got to be a contestant:I never used to know the difference between What's My Line? and I've Got a Secret, and thought they were the same show under different titles, until I started watching both on PlutoTV's Buzzr channel, and found the latter more entertaining: On Line, the panel simply guessed the job--he's a plumber, thanks for playing--but the Secret the contestant Got was usually an amazing news event/achievement, or some interactive demonstration that the guest would follow up with after the game. And instead of the Mystery Guest round, Secret would have a celebrity guest whose "secret" was that he was about to do some stunt that got the panel embarrassingly involved.
Line was about the contestants, but Secret was about the panel as the stars of the show.

And this seems the proper thread to extend Happy 99th birthday wishes to game show icon BOB BARKER. Sepiatone

Such a fine show, Steve Goodman and Jimmy Buffett wrote a song about it.
I would have to say Hollywood Squares is my favorite from the past.

Line was about the contestants, but Secret was about the panel as the stars of the show. What's My Line sounds came a bit earlier than the other and perhaps was a bit more mature and direct. Sophisticated humor, for instance. I've never seen the other and sounds a bit frilly.

To me, "I've Got A Secret" seemed to drag and be less of a "game" to be a "Game Show". And "Wat's My Line" did leave a way to be satirized, as in this Woody Allen take...(From "Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex(But Were Afraid To Ask)"

If you enjoy WHAT'S MY LINE? check out Youtube and search any oldtime film star. If you know Yul Brynner, check out his visit-it's a hoot(that's an old idiom)

A "hoot" is an old idiom? But I still use it, so what does that say about ME? Probably that I'm an old COOT!(another old idiom ) Sepiatone
