This is nice. The whole program knitted together. I just wish the original kinescope had not broken at the start and cut off the show opening.

This gives me hope that there are other episodes of Concentration out there somewhere. This is a real rarity! Next, hopefully we can see an episode on videotape instead of kinescope, but I'd bet NBC told the truth when they said they erased them all. Oh well, at least they're on film.

Love the handoff to Bob Clayton as the new host of Concentration. Hugh Downs is and was a classy guy.

  @SR71ABCD, there were two types of self-destruct in the Star Trek Technical Manual. The first one (presumably the option Kirk chose when dealing with Bele and Lokai in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield") would have shut down the magnetic bottles around the antimatter, causing instant and total d...

  And remember - this was not the "bloody A, B, C or D" - this was the original NCC-1701 (refitted for Star Trek: The Motion Picture). That's what made this especially poignant.

  Loved the scene in the original movie where the Seaview bursts from the sea at the north pole. Kind of like the reveal of the Enterprise in spacedock in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. And frankly, the plot was more Star Trek than the rest of the series' plots. And Walter Pidgeon made a great Admi...

  I think I like the Michael Johnson version better - really puts it more into perspective (unfaithful girlfriend) as opposed to just being down in the dumps. The Sawyer Brown version was kind of a mishmash of the two - unfaithful girlfriend and guy meets someone new at party.

@gymnastix I think a couple of the Christmas shows have the same opening as this one (the slide whistle) and the "mystery" logo morphing into the Concentration logo.

  Interesting - if you listen closely enough at 7:27, you can hear Louella whispering the solution to the puzzle - "You Are What You Eat" - as Joan calls her two numbers. Then Louella makes her match by calling 28 and 15. Then the kinescope breaks.

  @efrem1 In hindsight, I can see what would have led Lin Bolen to make her decision to cancel "Concentration" (and later, "Jeopardy!"). By the standards of the early '70s, they did look dated. What amazes me is that they brought back "Jeopardy!" in 1978 with the same type of game board technology ...
