Beat The Clock Game Show (1/3)

[Gazelle908]

I am looking for the video with m parents on the show: Shirley & Ray Kunkel in July of either 1959 or 1960.

Any ideas on how I can track it down? thanks Gina

I'm looking for the Beat The Clock episode where the guy had to wear an overcoat and get a kid's punching clown up under the coat and out of the top. If they knew how it was going to look, I don't think it would have made TV back then. LOL

I have one of the Sylvania "Radio Clocks", like the model on the upper right, the non-lighted panel version. I have a 1964 Halo-light Console TV/ Hi-Fi too, but think by that time the quality was lower compared to 10 years earlier -1954.

Just shows that nothing is new!

Minute to Win It is just like this combined with the prize ladder on Millionaire!

I remember seeing this on T.V. when I was a little kid. Loved it then still love it now!

@Sandra33139 - Same here. I loved watching BTC every day in the afternoon. That big old ticking clock used to fascinate the hell out of me! Imagine if this show were on today, with a big, digital clock on the wall.

A rare "necktie moment" for Bud, who usually wore non-tuxedo bowties.

Does anyone have an episode with the laughing heads opening?

@thefairlysimple1 It sure is!

[pleasedtobe]

Fun show. I really liked how the host includes the children through out the time their parent's are playing the games. Truly a family show.

@GJNCA That's amazing!

[hwy61media]

@GJNCA Fired for being too good. Isn't that something! Thanks for the information.

[hwy61media]

@GJNCA I replied to this last night. YT glitch I guess. Anyway, I said that this is a great piece of television trivia. You wouldn't be pulling my leg now, would you?

[AfsAnehAfairytale]

It's so cool to watch these old shows. Sure is entertaining. Gread upload Michael.

I don't like these new Youtube video page. Why do they always keep changing.....

[hwy61media]

@AfsAnehAfairytale I'm glad you found this one entertaining. I did too. I kind of like the simple rules. Thanks Rita :)

The show aired on Saturday nights at 7:30pm(et), just before "THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW". This edition originally aired in December (just before Christmas) 1953. Bern Bennett was the show's announcer; Bill Shipley was Sylvania's spokesman. Roxanne Arlen {r.n. Dolores Rosedale} was Bud's "assistant" and photographer. Those who "beat the jackpot clock" usually won a Sylvania TV set, worth about $500.

@fromthesidelines I was thinking the showed aired in 1954 because of the television model. Close. How about that halo effect?

[thefairlysimple1]

@hwy61media and the syvania radio, when you compare them with things like the ipod today, lol
