I have a 1963 episode from a purchase at Shokus video. Mind to tell me how to do video capture?

[secondchance1977]

What I used to capture was something called bumble bee, or soemthing like that. It had a converter from VCR cables to S Video to the computer. If I cant help then you could google Video Capture.

This is NOT in the trading circuit; where did you find this? Did your friend find this, maybe?

[secondchance1977]

Yes

As much as I loved this show, I don't remember the female with Bob Clayton. Who was she?

[secondchance1977]

In the video, Bob called her Paula, so that might be her name.

Concentration is long over due for repeats and a new revival too!

NBC, Bring back Concentration!

Specifically, this video was originally uploaded by philofarnsworth. secondchance1977 made a copy of it before it went down, and that's what you see here.

It's sad to see this; the original "Concentration" was the last network game show to use a live on-set musician to provide the score. It's replacement the following Monday on NBC was "Baffle" -- a Heatter-Quigley show that was an update of their "PDQ." "Baffle" had an awful early synth pre-recorded score by Mort Garson ( it can be heard on YouTube ).

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the NBC-owned syndicated version produced by Goodson-Todman and hosted by Jack Narz was already well underway in production and set design. The long-dormant "Nighttime Concentration" board had been taken out of storage and shipped to Caliofornia, as the venerable daytime board was still in use. It was scrapped not long after this finale. The other board was completely rebuilt in late 1974; then it, too, was scrapped California after the last taping in 1978.

@secondchance1977 Her name was Paola Diva, and she was on the show for a good part of its NBC run.

Concentration was definitely a great show. I remember the late 80's version with Alex Trebeck hosting. I'll bet that game would do well today in daytime.

"Concentration" was the last TV game show to use organ music!

Had the show stayed on the air past the Spring of 1973, I suspect an updated musical score (and a new arrangement of the opening/closing themes, probably recorded by an orchestra) would have been commissioned.

I remember one classic episode when Bob had his back to the NBC Cameras,the doors suddenly closed on him and as soon as he looks into the camera,he got shutout behind those doors,shouting;"Hey,Let Me Outta Here!"It must have been an April fool's episode,because the audience loved it!Thanks for sharing!Brainy,Brainman Media
