They were all talking about it on an anniversary special of the show. But it was lovely of her to call Mr Griffith and apologize for her bad behavior back then.

      @qazwiz 7 лет назад +11

      At the time recorded, Andy was titled star of a comedy TV show. being a singer was rejected because the previous two questions had specifically stated MOST KNOWN, he had "no time for sargents" but not stage or film, and his records he was most know for WERE ALL SPOKEN WORD / COMEDY ALBUMS. so while he probably had already recorded "Fishin' Hole" and a Christmas Album he is just as much a professional singer as you are a professional racer by hitting the gas at a yellow light
      plus, i think ALL his religious albums (save an already mentioned Christmas album) were recorded AFTER 1967
      well he had *Shouts the Blues and Old Timey Songs (1959)* and a Broadway score album. (i never heard of either, can you claim otherwise?) also had an album *Songs, Themes and Laughs from the Andy Griffith Show (1961)* which sounds less singing and more clips of funny bits ... but nothing else listed on Wikipedia until 1971 and later.
      In order to include singing he would have to have been at least a double-threat man (compared with a triple threat as defined by Arlene Francis on other WML shows as _Acting, Dancing and Singing_ ) no way you can say his singing career was even close to his Television Career at the date of recording

    Interesting that a show from 1967 was still in Black and White. From Wikipedia "
    Broadcast format
    From 1950 to 1966, the game show was broadcast in black-and-white, as was typical of most game shows at the time. But by 1966, all three networks were broadcasting their prime-time schedules entirely in color, including What's My Line? After the show ended in 1967, CBS replaced the color videotapes with the kinescope versions instead for syndication. As a result of this change, the 1966-1967 episodes of What's My Line? were only shown in black-and-white after the show ended.

"The number of color television sets sold in the US did not exceed black-and-white sales until 1972, which was also the first year that more than fifty percent of television households in the US had a color set." 1972, coincidentally, was the year our family got our first color TV. But the writing was on the wall in the mid 60s. I remember an early episode of "Adam-12"--"The Color TV Bandit" in 1968. Color TV was on most people's wish list by then.

      Great clip and Goldie is certainly prominently featured among the dancers.
      And near the end there is Maggie Peterson, discovered by Griffith and Knotts many years earlier and better known on "The Andy Griffith Show" as Charlene Darling of the only female member of the mountain family who loved to play mountain music (also featuring Denver Pyle as the jug playing family patriarch and the Dillards as the stony-faced brothers who provided the accompaniment on various stringed instruments).
      And what Hollywood genius strung together a medley of songs by such diverse artists as Shirley & Lee ("Let the Good Times Roll"), Lloyd Price ("Personality"), the intro but no lyrics of Ray Charles' "What'd I Say" leading up to the introduction of Maggie Peterson, Little Richard (sanitized lyrics to "Rip It Up"), Jay and the Americans ("Come a Little Bit Closer") and one line at the end sung by Knotts from "Chantilly Lace" by The Big Bopper (aka J.P. Richardson), with some other lyrics and songs thrown in to transition between the numbers better.
      However, I can't imagine that the American public was looking for these kinds of shows in 1967.
      And speaking of looking for this show, I have to assume that it aired. But it isn't listed on IMDB. It isn't listed on Andy Griffith's page or Goldie Hawn's page or Tennessee Ernie Ford's page or Don Knotts' page. It isn't listed on Andy Griffith's Wikipedia page.

    I wonder if they still have the game in 2018? I love playing along and closing my eyes when the guest signs in. And then you learn so much. I hated learning about the bullfighter killing the bull after the fight with a sword. That is so barbaric. I hope that has stopped in today's world.

    13:26 "Bennet's been trying that one for _seventeen years_!" I really love this show. You watch enough episodes of this thing, they really start to feel like your friends. Why doesn't TV do this anymore?

      Because major broadcast television companies, don't care about the viewers like they did back in the day, they air anything and "everything" that makes the quickest buck possible, and if it flops, they move as fast as they can to throw something else at you. Thank God for Netflix, it's bringing back real TV again, people want to create great programming, that want the viewers to like what they produce!
      Cancel the cable, the direct TV, and any major network television! It's all garbage!

      Radio does. Listen to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" on NPR. ;-)

      Because today we have realistic TV programs like Jerry Springer and Mauri what's his name. And let's not forget the so-called Judges who decide cases in 10 minutes

      Because people have turned into mean-spirited self-absorbed techno-droids that could care less about anything unless it affects them personally or it has the appearance, to the rest of the world, that it's a noble gesture of compassion and gross sentimentality as to be maudlin. People eat this shit up. America loves fake shit, it thrives on fake...It is.......................................................

      Game shows tend to come back into favor in waves. It was just about the time I noticed we hadn't had any game shows for several years that Howie Mandel's show with the suitecases and who wants to be a millionaire came on. There's no reason why they can't remake a show like this again today.

    but he does costar with someone everyone knows: Don Knotts

      Not at that time. Don Knotts was a series regular on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW through the end of the 1964-65 season. He did return to make guest appearances (as Barney Fife) on 5 episodes in the last 3 seasons of the series.

      Yeh, he stumbled a little, however, moderator lead him to "no." Really, we all know that Don Knotts made the show, neck & neck, with Andy. I agree !!

      Don Knotts,as was Ron Howard were the co-stars, not Andy.

      @Ka Z Why is that funny? To me, Andy always came across as a lib. As hard as it is for you to believe, even libs have family values. Libs just care about everyone, not just those who look like we do.

    Ron Howard and I are the same age. I've been to Manteo, North Carolina, which is where Andy Griffith lived.

    Andy was correct, there were no household names staring on the Andy Griffith show during the time of this taping. Don Knotts left the show in 1965; this episode of “ what’s my line” was taped in 1967.
