SHENANIGANS Live Prizes Beatles,7 Up Ice Cream,1960's RARE

[RadioCannedMusic]

Ya got me with this one. Teary eyes. 1st on YT.

I used to watch this like clockwork every sat. morn on ABC. I still know the theme song Stubby Kaye used to sing. It was in the back of my memory for many years & then Roger Rabbit came out. Saw Stubby as Marvin Acme & the song was the 1st thing to enter my head. I envied all those kids who won. This show gave so much away to just one contendent. After this show, the kids science show "Discovery" would come on. That show was cool too!

Hopefully? more kinnie film prints of "Shenanigans"(The ABC TV Network version)are in the Merrill Heater/Bob Quigley Estates and the persons..handling those estates..will make them available very soon?

[TheStanbabe]

AH! Carnation ice cream..which doesn't exsist anymore! Those were the days.

I understand that Mara, after several failed marriages, died of a Darvocette overdose. Though her parents begged, The Beatles did not attend services.

Loved the show (especially the slow moving "Pie In The Eye) and the board game. Bought a pretty nice copy of the game in Wisconsin at a charity shop recently. It's still COOL!

The format of the original WPIX TV Ch.11 NYC version

of Shenanigans was different from The ABC TV edition. Kids were picked from the audience and they had

to solve riddles and mysteries posed to them by

Mr.Quiqley the detective.

[143AC]

Actually? Shenanigans was first seen locally weeknights on

WPIX TV Ch.11 in NYC in the early 1950's.

 Bob Quigley..then an unknown tv comedy writer and

actor hosted the show.

[harporocks]

[Fersommling]

Was that kid little Jerry Seinfeld?!

IDLERACER, in your neck of the woods, it came on Saturday mornings in LA. In my ex-home of Savannah,GA., it ran on Monday evenings on

WTOC-TV Channel 11 (a CBS Afilliate) at 5:30pm just before the local news.

Yes, "SHENANIGANS", which was a slight variation of Heatter-Quigley's previous "giant board game", "VIDEO VILLAGE" [CBS, 1960-'62], repackaged for sponsor Milton Bradley, was on Saturday mornings at 10am(et) from September 1964 through December 1965 on ABC. Very few examples of the series exsist...

[IDLERACER]

If I remember correctly, this program aired on Saturday mornings just before the Beatles Cartoon show in 1965. At least here in Los Angeles it did. In light of this, the tie-in with the harmonica is not surprising.

Those are some sweet prizes

[fromthesidelines]

And that's what a typical contestant on "SHENANIGANS" could win- wonder whatever happened to those harmonicas?
