    Arlene Francis asking the question, "Could we do it here on the stage?" is one of the funniest moments in television history.

      I have no doubt that they were higher in the socioeconomic scale; however they demonstrated wealth in other areas; intelligence, diplomacy, class, ethical Morality, deductive logic, a practical application of the Socratic Method, and Critical Thinking.

      How about Dorothy admitting she was thinking about a bull being "applied" to the cow? Man, the audiences and everyone else on that stage usually HOWLED with laughter when one of those two ladies mentioned or referenced sex. Absolutely filthy humor for the 50s and early 60s.

    I was an avid watcher of WML from way back. My family never missed it. But these videos reinforce how witty and downright hilarious Arlene Francis and Dorothy Kilgallen were. The other interesting fact is that the show was simply SO New York City. Smart, urbane, classy people--all of them, including John Charles Daly.

    The standard WML panel was, is and will always be the most elegant, articulate, intelligent and accomplished game show panel to have ever been assembled for television. And John Daly was the wittiest, most urbane, suave and gentlemanly game show host there's ever been. I hope Hollywood does us all a favour and NEVER tries to recreate the show as the sort of post modern, politically correct, vermin that they seem to love putting out these days.

      In Canada, we had a long-running show called Front Page Challenge, about which I could say approximately the same thing. Whip-smart and cultured characters, with an eloquent and charming host. I have thoroughly enjoyed working my way through the WML shows. And I have a certain awe for Dorothy who I first heard of listening to various theories about the demise of JFK.

      From what I've heard and read, it seems Dorothy burned her own bridges. They all seemed to get along well in the early days, but she was a reporter first, and would leak private conversations and gossip about her panel-mates, so they kept her out of their private lives after that.

    What a discovery WML was. I have watched many episodes, some over again, never tiring of them having complete admiration for Arlene. Dorothy, Bennett and JD. Elegance, charm, wit, class, poise and sophistication at a level that has now sadly become extinct, plus equally classy regular guest panelists, Steve Allen, Fred Allen, Joey Bishop, Martin Gabel, Buddy Hackett and many more. Well-spoken contestants who took pride in their appearance and the work they did. Seeing the stars of yesteryear as mystery guests makes me realise just what talent I missed out on compared with today's so-called celebrities drawn from the tacky world of reality TV. Every episode is a gem.

    If you watch British game shows or talk shows, you know that they are infinitely more risque than those here in the U.S. And sadly, that's what comes from being basically a Puritanical country. My point here is this: What's My Line included a lot of risque banter and dialogue, so enjoyable to watch and listen to, and so unlike the usual TV fare in the 50s and early 60s. LOVE these clips with Arlene Francis, who would say just about anything, and Dorothy Kilgallen, who was a bit more prim and proper than Francis was. Both were smart and hilarious.
