      Still not real happy that they got rid of to tell the truth in prime Time on buzzer at 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday I have quit watching buzzer now that they've added two more of the dollar shows of the same show that is shown at 9:00 for two more doll shows so that's four bad shows in a row and I've stopped watching, bring back to tell the truth at 8:00 hopefully maybe some episodes with bud collyer or Gary Moore 10:30 10:30

    Isn't this show, along with Truth or Consequences, The Match Game, and The $10,000 Pyramid, being resurrected this summer? I think two of the hosts are supposed to be Alec Baldwin and Michael ??? from GMA.

    I heard you provided Gary a pristine copy of another TTTT episode for him to upload on his YT channel. Do you have this episode in its entirety? If so, maybe you can lend Gary a copy so he can upload it on his site. By the way, he has nothing to do with me asking you about this.

    What I have always hated about this game is that panelists try to trick the guests by asking questions that have nothing to do with their occupation or secret.

      That's why they named the game 'To Tell the Truth.'
