  • Didn't they rehearse before filming this? 

  • I never saw this as a Child but I know Carolyn Jones did do Game Shows, I remember being all weirded out at seeing her with out the Addams Family Dress and wig on.

  • They cut out the entire first puzzle.

  • For the earlier posters, this was only a pilot. It never aired on a network.

  • George Fenneman is usually unflappable but this is a mess.

  • This was like Merv Griffen's dream game show or something. I don't know why I said that, but I thought you'd be interesting in hearing such things.

    Also interesting, there was a 2nd pilot to this.

  • I never see a show before. which one did network show ?

  • I never even heard of this show.

  • All right, so he does screw up here a few times, but his witticism and personality make up for it. This isn't an unsold game show pilot, it's a homemade version of "The Hollywood Squares!"

  • And yet, he used to be Groucho Marx's You Bet Your Life sidekick.

    Of course, he did host two shows that did make it to the air, Your Surprise Package, and Anybody Can Play.
