Ernie Kovacs - A Clip from "Take a Good Look"

[ebf1957]

Ernie described Take A Good Look as a cross between Mah-Jong and Chug-A-Lug.

"They money's not enough to be crooked." Nice swipe at the rigged quiz shows of the period. Pure Kovacs.

@IrenaMV The word my mother would have used would be "swarthy".

[IrenaMV]

@IrenaMV I google "swarthy" because my English is not going this far, and I must say, your mother was one smart lady. I agree with her.

[DevildogGarcia]

This series was on Thursday nights at 10:30pm(et), right after "THE UNTOUCHABLES" on ABC, under the sponsorship of Consolidated Cigar's "Dutch Masters" [about 10 minutes into the program, Ernie would turn the ash tray around on his desk so that the "Dutch Masters" logo faced the camera]. Ernie's idea for this game show was to have his panel guess what event the person they were questioning had recently been famous for, with "clues" revealed in "blackout sketches", irrelevant visual aids, etc.
