I always like when the mystery celebrities acknowledge the audience.
I love that this one still has the original commercials. They are so much more watchable than what we are subjected to today.
In the 50s and 60s hour long TV shows ran 52 minutes without the commercials, now they run something like 40-43 minutes. And half hour shows without the commercials ran about 25 1/2 mins. Nowadays if you watch a syndicated episode of I LOVE LUCY it runs about 21 minutes without the commercials.
I don't even watch them today
I recognize so many of the small kitchen appliances from my Grandmothers and mothers kitchens.
I met Bobby Darin in London in the ‘60’s he was filming at MGM studios in Borehamwood - a great talent who left us far too early.
A tremendous talented legend whom I hope will be discovered by present and future generations
I loved all his different accents; a true talent, and sorely missed.
Darin was a cool guy blessed with talent galore and good looks.
Bobby Darin could do it it all -- truly one of America's all-time greatest entertainers.
I must have seen this episode 3 times and it's because of the woman that works as a chef on a Tug boat. I'm charmed by her; her smile etc.
Like the tugboat lady's smile. Very contagious! Look like she was having lots of fun.
I never knew that Bobby Darrin did impressions! He was so talented!
Randy Sills Booby Darin was extremely intelligent. He attended the Bronx HS of Science.
Meant to type Bobby.
@@shadfour He was my Moms' cousin and came to a family picnic around 1970. I remember him doing impressions of Walter Brennan, Jimmy Stewart, Muhammed Ali, Elvis and Gabby Hayes
That's a reason they picked Kevin Spacey to play him in his biopic, I'll bet; Spacey does impressions, also.
@@kennethlatham3133 Just found out Kevin Spacey directed and also co wrote that film
Arlene Francis reminds of a lady I worked for over a 20 year period. Arlene is absolutely charming and delightful.
Sweet how Bobby Darin turned to the audience. What a tragedy that he died so young.
Arlene Francis is such a huge contributor to this show. I've watched so many episodes without her and they seem so boring without her. She really was great!
She wrote a very fun autobiography and had quite a life! ❤
I think part of what made this show so enjoyable (and addictive, at least to me all these years later) is that the panelists and John Daly as host all seemed to be having a genuinely good time, as well as developing their learning and vocabulary chops. We need more of this, not less, in my humble opinion. (And I love when the cow mattress salesmen claimed the cows are now so contented they don't want to get up to give milk.)
Somewhere there must be a Gary Larson "Far Side" cartoon about cows on cow mattresses that are too lazy to get up out of bed.
Bobby Darren was born with a faulty heart. it is a miracle he lived as long as he did.
As soon as I saw Bobby Darin was the celebrity guest, I checked his date of death to see how many more years he had left at this stage (11 years). He packed so much into a life he knew from early on would be shortened and, wow, what a huge talent. I love listening to his music, just as I did when he was making it.
Truth is: Rather than having been a congenital ailment, Mr. Darin suffered from rheumatic valvular heart disease (a sequel from rheumatic fever - the latter contracted around the age of eight years). Complications arising from infected, surgically-replaced valves, contributed to his demise.
The tugboat lady was quite charming.
LOVE THIS SHOW AND ALAN KING WAS THE FUNNIEST COMEDIAN BOBBY DARRIN COOLEST SINGER AND JOHN DALY WAS SUCH A KIND GENTLE MAN 🥰🥰🥰
Bobby was an amazing talent! ♥️🇨🇦
Somewhere beyond the sea. Somewhere waiting for me.
Arlene is untouchable, she's simply to quick!
Yes, she is TOO quick
Such a wonderful feel good show..
Pauline, the Canadian lady ("Canadien," as it is spelled in her native Quebec) was charming, funny, and lovely!
There are two standout elements that make this program timeless. It had class and a sense of decorum. It had an innocent sense of pure fun and enjoyment of playing the game. There was little or no one upending or taking over the show from anyone concerned. It was all relaxed, respectful and let's just have fun and get paid a stipend for doing it. By god, people in the entertainment world-especially talk shows and sit down interviews could learn an awful lot from these people. thank you so much for all of these.
Bobby Darin would have been cool in any generation.
And he is!:)
Splish splash
I agree. I love Bobby Darin. He well could have charmed people across generations. He died young, having heart problems.
@@shirleyrombough8173 He thought his shit didn't stink.
Amen to that.
Bobby Darin is my dream lover… He still makes me tingle!
The GREAT Bobby Darin. He was one of my teenage idols. ' Dream Lover ' is still one of my favourite recordings.
What a tremendous talent who could do everything. Gone way too soon
Dorothy's face drops rather suddenly from a smile to just deadpan as Darin leaves the set. Something she didn't care for right then.
I’ve seen her do that often. I’m not sure it mean anything.
Bobby Darin.....boyfriend of the worlds oldest teenager....reinvented himself at least 3 times....but there is no question his best work was done on a vegas stage....go listen to the few...live albums that exist....
I love this show, and your videos, thanks again!
Oh my goodness! Now I find out it was Arlene Frances who played that lady at the beginning of The Thrill of it All, running to husband to exclaim joyously, "I'm pregnant!", I've seen about 8 yrs back, on DVD of course. Knew there was something so familiar about her, seeing her regularly in this fun game show:)
Doris Day , James Garner and Edward Andrews also star in it. I always liked that Movie.😅
Loved , Bobby. Darrin❤ a great loss , at my age , now I appreciate. ,,, Alan King's handsome, good looks...😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much for posting these videos!
My pleasure-- thanks for the comment! :)
Great episode! One of my favorites thus far!
I saw him in a movie called Pressure Point with Sidney Poitier and Bobby Darin is a really good actor! Watch this movie.
The man who sells mattresses for cows has a most extraordinary looking cowlick.
That's pretty funny and you're a funny guy
Thanks for posting these shows. That first contestant was fun - the cook on a tugboat. I have a craving for Kellogg's Corn Flakes now, for some reason.
Scooter The Lost Duckling Liked it as a child....now I see the Kellogg's logo and I immediately think 'processed junk.'
Loved that Bobby D acknowledged the audience when he was leaving!!💕💕💕👏👏👏
Arlene is too much, she has it ALL happening.
Bobby Darin is the author and performer of my favorite song "Amy" which was used in the movie The Gunfighter of Abilene. Unfortunately he died very young. He had a great future as a musician and actor R.I.P. Mr. BD. P.S.: I was born on February 14th, 1962 the same year of this program.
BOBBY DARIN..The BEST!
Just what every woman wants for Christmas: a can opener.
I love that you included the commercials and even the snippet of where to mail in your request to be on the show.
Funny how things change over time - for example the pronunciation of "protein" ('pro-tee-in instead of 'pro-teen), and the zip code-less address, but with a number added to the city (New York 22, New York).
Thank you for using this format, which helps us experience a glimpse back in time.
I truly enjoy watching these videos. I was born in 1965 and am quite fond of older television programs. Came across this wonderful game show through GSN and have been a fan since then. Was saddened when they stopped playing it and couldn't find many episodes on DVD. Thank you so much for posting them.
My pleasure, Cindy! Thanks for the comment. :)
Cindy Denham
Me too 8 4 65 cool show
I was 2! I'm watching them in order except for this one lol. I'm actually only up to the 1955 to 57 programs. I live them.
A an early teen, I adored Bobby Darin, which was the first love my mother did not understand.
Why didn't she understand it. Did you start out as a Claude ?
"Is it something the cow does something on?"
This aired 3 weeks before I was born!
Arlene was adorable.
Aww I love Bobby Darin 😩❤
From childhood on he had a heart flaw and knew that he could suddenly die at any time. It made him more sensitive and intelligent than a lot of other young singers of the era.
Back in the day everyone was eating proteans. I always found that so humorous.
Bobby Darrin could've been an impressionist; he was very good at that.
He had a better gig, though. Imo, BD was one of the best singer/showman types of his era.
Or of any era.
WATCHMAN 117
he died at 37 too soon
stlgtrace His song, "I'll be there," was recorded by Gerry (Mersad) and the Pacemakers. Bobby must have been so happy to hear how beautifully, Gerry sang that, song. Its a Masterpiece. Gerry Mersad, was a perfect fit.
Time to enjoy that delicious Special K breakfast that Dennis James told us about. Damn, those simple 1960's ads were so effective!
+HunterShows
Indeed, what a waste of motion. Better to simply buy a pre-sweetened cereal. Those Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs that were loved so much by Bill Watterson's Calvin are a great example.
Nowadays, every commercial is either super serious or a joke.
It's so much better with the original commercials, it adds context and its seamless, the usual commercial cut-outs in these videos is jarring. I wonder if the original commercials exist in all the copies and GSN or wherever these come from just cut them out? Sorry i do not mean to complain, I love all these WML videos, I've watched Episode 1 thru this one and I'm going to the end! Thank you WML for posting all of these.

Really nice work! Thanks for doing this. Love the upgrades!
Best intro theme of the whole show
28:24- "DENNIS THE MENACE" was sponsored by Kellogg's (and alternately by Best Foods) on Sundays at 7:30pm(et)
"Kellogg's ALSO brings you 'THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES'......Wednesday night, over most of these stations."
I love what's my line
Mack the knife. ..wowza
It's also great to see the commercials.
Glad you appreciate them, Martin S! Some people definitely don't. . . :) Thanks for the comment.
Bob Warren speaks for Universal appliances.
With all those romantic Christmas gifts for the wife!
I live the commercials. They fun to watch. It's history.
Before my time. I always considered Sinatra the best male singer because of his unique style (certainly not his voice), until I saw Darrin perform! I then realized that Sinatra picked some of Darrin's style in his comeback. Today, I agree with all, Darrin left us too early, otherwise he would've surpassed Sinatra.
What a cool show !!!
A heifer has never given birth.
A cow has given birth.
A steer cannot father a calf.
A bull can father a calf.
(So my rancher friend told me.)
Bobby Darin was the first Mystery Guest who acknowledged the applause when he signed in. The corn flake commercial makes me laugh. Corn flakes plain (no sugar or fruit added) are the worst tasting food in the world at least to my childhood taste buds. Thanks for the video.
I love how he says "pro-ti-en" :
? It's not how we say it today. It's interesting.
Don Wilson said it the same way when selling Grape nut Flakes on the Jack Benny radio show.
Pro ti en as opposed to the more common pronunciation: pro teen.
The word was originally coined by a French scientist as protéine (accent acute on the first e). My French is rudimentary but I think that indicates a three-syllable pronunciation. Older English dictionaries show a three-syllable pronunciation too; my mother, born 1927, still says it as pro-te-in.
I've only heard it pronounced that way on commercials. Biochemists say "pro teen'.
Wow, signing off with an advertisement for the Peace Corps! 28:11 An opportunity to do good for the world. Ahh, the 60s.
I love Bobby❤
Kellogg's corn flakes in the late 1960s was 59 cents. All the other cereals then were 79 cents ( except for family size Rice Krispies- they were $1.19).
I was born in 1961 and I distinctly remember absolutely no cereal box cost more than $1.00 when I was growing up. Now some of them are reaching $6-7 a box! OUTRAGEOUS.
@@rtususian Then you should also remember almost all the
candy bars at 5 cents each; maybe some were a little larger
than others at 10 cents.
And, about a 100 times over, even up to 1969, I've seen the signs in front of the gas stations, YOU saw them too, and
took them for granted? 33/34 cents a gallon, very much a
part of my childhood, where did they go?
@@bobbyfrancis8957 Yes we used to go to a gas station on Lakeville Road and Northern Blvd. in Great Neck, LI. Around 1968 my father bought gas from there for 27 cents a gallon. The owner/manager said he wanted to lower the price by a PENNY but Gulf would not let him!! Can you imagine? Oh by the way there are/were two other gas stations at that same intersection, so competition was fierce.
@@bobbyfrancis8957 I remember in 1973 buying large THREE MUSKETEERS candy bars for 20 cents each at my local stationary store. Now you're lucky to get them for a $1.20.
@@bobbyfrancis8957 I started kindergarten in the 1966-67 term and those long pretzel rods were 2 cents each at school, and half pints of milk were 5 cents each. By the time I graduated 6th grade in 1973, the milk had gone up to 8 cents a half pint.
even commercials were civilized and quiet 🌸
John Daly refers to Sandra Dee as "Mrs. Robert Darin" but as far as I can tell, "Bobby Darin" was just a stage name for Walden Robert Cassotto (his birth name), so "Robert Darin" is an incorrect conflation of the two. Similarly, JCD referred to Bob Hope as Robert Hope in a quasi-formal manner, but in reality his name was Leslie Townes Hope, not Robert Hope.
Surprised cholesterol was raised as a health concern in the Kellogg's Special K commercial as early as 1962.
That surprised me too!
me too
Here we are half a century later and now the official position is that "cholesterol is not considered a nutrient of concern for overconsumption." How times change!
The "science" on nutrition we've been offered has been only of the softest, least replicated and verified sort. I'm all for scientific investigation of what's good for us to eat and what isn't, but what we've been "fed" (pun semi-intentional) is only the most hyperbolic, reactionary nonsense by the media. Science isn't supposed to work this way.
I would say it's early but by 1970 even my mother was monitoring our cholesterol, though she was a nurse and about the only one who had any idea.
LOL, the healthy Special K breakfast commercial, "and a teaspoon of sugar">...
I read that when Gloria Swanson was a guest star on THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES, she would tell the cast all about the dangers of eating SUGAR! Gloria was a real health nut before it became fashionable. And she lived to a ripe old age.
Alan King too. Wow cool. Great episode thanks.
That cow mattress guy looked like he just crawled our of bed!
I think the poor guy had health issue
@@maggiejohnson5891 I'm guessing he was an alcoholic
Yes he was too quiet.
The second contestant, Mr. Krevitz, has a bit of hair on the side of his head that is sticking up. I feel compelled to reach through the android screen to hand him a comb. Why would anybody backstage allow him to look so disheveled? 😜
Never buy a woman a present with a cord!
I think she'd be ok with a Honda Accord.
The $15 won't even buy a New York corned beef sandwich today.
I want a cow mattress!
My dogs want a cow mattress
John Wettermark they should bring this one back but not stars would appear $$$$$$$$$$$$$$&
How do you like that? It's Universal appliances for the woman for Christmas and it's less than a month away in 2018. Unless the lady asks for a specific gift, please don't get her an appliance for Christmas!
If it's Miss Dorothy wearing her 'little' white gloves, it must be Sunday.
Just the opposite of the 1960 film starring Melina Mercouri, "What's My Line?" was always on Sunday.
I enjoy the ones when they have the commercials. Back then even they were relaxed, low-key and adult.
21:41 I wonder how long it took before they came up with Frosted Flakes...
I was 37 days old.
This episode proves that Arlene's claim of never taking off her heart pendant was a load of bull. She obviously didn't wear it in that episode.
I wonder what Foley effects they used for the cornflakes commercial.
Dorothy was not her healthiest at this point. Somewhat erratic, her clothes were hanging on her skeletal frame.
At 21:11... Oh that sweet sweet sugar all over those corn flakes !
And then of course, the sugar milk at the end that boosted our education at 8am.
There is a difference between a heifer and a cow: a heifer is a female that has never been bred (virgin) whereas a cow is one who has had a calf. It is necessary for a cow to have a calf before it will produce milk therefor he was correct when he said a heifer would not use the mattress because it would only be used for a lactating cow.
Sure was a fun one, a little straight but nice :)
Bobby looks like a handsomer version of young Dustin Hoffman
Kirk Barkley You do Bobby Darin a disservice. He was very much multi-talented and accomplished in his short life that to use Dustin Hoffman as a measuring stick is an obscenity. Plus Darin was an angel compared to the likes of Dustin Hoffman and Kevin Spacey , who ill-advisedly insisted on portraying Darin when he was 45, visibly way too old for the 37 Darin at the time of his death. Also, Spacey brought too much negative publicity as an admitted sex abuser to play Darin in a biopic that was a huge movie losing flop at the box office.
@@danielfronc4304
My gawd, relax! He was commenting on his _appearance, nothing more!_
I live the next town over from Orange, CT
Have you noticed at the end of the mystery guest segment the board is already erased. Do not buy auto-boards anywhere. They are fake !
The segment about the "cow mattress was totally misleading at least the way John desccribed it. I grew up milking cows and
the "stall" is where the cow stood while being milked. The cow did not lie down while in the stall, so John really didn't know
what he was talking about in this sense.
The tugboat cook's work DID involve animals: but they were all dead ones. Talk about invisible.
Second game: the regular panelists were all more funny than Alan King and the subject of cows. Arlene: "Is it something the cow does something on?" LOLOF try and get that out of your mind now.
When Arlene is on she's ON!! That's one of the riotous segments of any of the programs in its 17 (or 25 if you prefer) year history.
The laugh Arlene got there was the loudest in WML history.
Agreed, that was a funny segment
Am I the only one who got the vibe that John and the panelists are giggling amongst themselves about the second contestant's rogue hair-weave?
i wear a wig, but a good one i wouldn't be seen dead looking like that, he never looked in the mirror. i'm 81, so hair is not important, only health!!
*_COOK ON TUGBOAT_*
*_SELLS MATTRESSES FOR COWS_*
The second one, WTF, never Heard of that,.
Hey, look at these cool initials we "generic" RUclips users get now, instead of just an outline of a faceless person! :)
Yes, even better than had they, say, actually fixed any of the 2 dozen serious bugs with the comments sections. ;)
What's My Line? I'm sure this was easier. ;)
(Uh-oh -- guess what? I'm still seeing the faceless person in the notifications section. :( )
SaveThe TPC Why be consistent? :)
I like my M
+What's My Line?
It's an old saying that it was someone's job on the Titanic to rearrange the deck chairs.
Why was Dorothy so skinny in this episode?
Because she had been having issues with sleeping pills and alcohol, along with lack of proper nutrition, causing anemia. She would wind up being hospitalized several months later.
Mr. Krevit, the cow "mattress" man, appears awkward throughout his time, though he does appear to have a sense of humour towards the end of his stint.
Having watched many of these episodes now, I tend to forget that these people were sitting among big name celebrities of their day, and in front of an audience, and in front of a camera.
Must not have been easy for the guests, to say the least, especially when you're spending much of your working week with cows.
