Ernie Kovacs - "Take a Good Look" 1/3

[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - I was fortunate to find a complete episode of "Take a Good Look" which originally aired on the ABC Television Network. This was the Kovacs inspired game show which involved Ernie's celebrity guests determining the game contestent's feat, occupation, or other newsworthy event through the use of prerecorded video "clues" that were embeded, somewhat vaguely, in the Kovacs created comedy sketches. The panelists included at various times Cesar Romero, Ernie's wife Edie Adams, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Jim Backus, Hans Conreid, and Carl Reiner. Former "Dead End Kid" (or "Bowery Boy" depending on your age) Dr. Bernard Punsly makes an appearence as one of the game's contestents. This part also includes the famous Dutch Masters commercial where Ernie is in a water tank and proceedes to "light up" and blow "smoke" from his cigar. To achieve the smoke effect, Ernie expelled milk from his mouth. Also showing is the full video clip of Chef Miklos Molnar in the kitchen with the lovely Jolene Brand. She appears to be getting hit on with more than just eggs.

This was originally telecast on December 22, 1960; Ernie apologizes at :41 to viewers on those stations that presented this via "delayed broadcast" (on 16mm "bicycled" kinescope film prints), becuase ABC had a VERY weak line-up of affiliates back then- most also carried other network's programs, and were unable to air the show nationally on Thursday nights at 10:30pm(et). "Christmas greetings" could be delayed as much as six weeks, depending on when the station got the program.
