Me too. I am finishing my second run through all the shows, and planning to start in 1950 again. I also watch the syndicated shows. They are not so good but still better than anything on TV now.
I love it when John Daly repeats a panellist's question with great enthusiasm as if it's going to get a 'yes' and then adds 'no'. He also has a great poker face during the ambush laid down for Steve Allen when the breadbox maker comes on stage. I've never seen a more fluent and charming television performer than John Daly and he does his job so calmly under pressure of time that it looks effortless. If you've ever chaired a meeting or given a lesson or organised a show of any type, you'll know it's never effortless!
Absolutely! If one dissects his sometimes lengthy responses, one would have to admit that he does it so delicately as to not give away too much, and yet be truthful and precise, while not (usually) placing words into the mouth of the guest. A unique talent, one which his use of the English language is often nearly perfect.
I love the manner's the civility and the lovely atmosphere of the show's,i can't remember how many I've watched on the bounce now,it's certainly addictive!!
Another ten to go, then I've seen them all. One ep most evenings, that was more as two years great fun, very enjoyable. A big thanks for collecting them. All the best from Ireland-West.
So funny. First group with multiple likes says she looks like her mother. Second group with multiple likes says she looks like her father. Third group with multiple likes says she is an exact mixture of her mother and father.
Yeah. there was one episode that had an overweight woman, Cerf - one of the panel members, made a crude comment about her fitting in a room in 1955. 1960's and 50's very sexist.
gcjerryusc Dr Zhivago was of course based upon a rather tragic novel by a Russian poet and wasn't meant to be a feel-good movie. The extent of the snow was indeed life-threatening. It is though surely one of the greatest epics ever made.
Geraldine Chaplin took after her fantastic larger than life father. I love her epic roles in "Ann and the wolves" and in "Frozen peppermint" by Carlos Saura. Not until had I watched the movies last year did I realized that she was and still is a marvelous, charismatic actress; still plays in some fashion movies... Long Live Geraldine !
@@robertfiller8634 an idiot, I don't do drugs. In fucked up, I mean I had no clue the whole time what was going on, why, and the motives. Idk why the character acted the way they did, and what they got from it. I didn't said that the movies are bad.
Does anyone else Google the contestants to learn their history or the history of what they do or what they make? The regular guests as well as the celebrity guests. For example, I learned Atlas Barber School closed down a number of years ago after the rent for the space was raised to $11k a month! They offered $5 haircuts.
Yes, I'll admit to doing that on occasion. Much can be learned. Interesting about the barber school. Thanks for sharing, now I won't need to look it up.
Yes, Mr. Cabibi was a distant cousin of mine and I remember him from my childhood. A wonderful generous man. He never charged those who could not afford to pay for a haircut.
Bennett was trying to be clever but he outsmarted himself. Out of nowhere he was talking about music but he wasn't quick enough and Steve Allen beat him to the punch. Good for you Steve!
It reads like fiction to talk about how the daughter of Charlie overnight became an international sensation in December 1965. The first film of and the discovery of Geraldine Chaplin is a story for the ages
Love Geraldine Chaplin. Her appearance was in the best of 1960's fashion. She was elegantly delightful. I have not seen her work but am looking forward to Dr. Zhivago.
Géraldine Chaplin, elle est tellement belle, she's so beautiful. I fell in love when I saw her in the French movie "Sur un Arbre Perché", in 1971. Imagine her, same face, as slim as she are here, but 5 years after this 1966 video !! You got it ! Can you see her? :) ✌️!
Silverstone L No. The stupid ones are the ones where they say things like 'Geraldine Chaplin was the daughter of Charlie who starred in' etc. But that person was simply sharing how much they admire someone. We all do that surely!
Thanx to Jayne Meadows plane problem, we see in advance the final panel of WML. No one at the time realized it until contemplation on or after September 1967.
David Lean's film of "Dr. Zhivago" was advertised for months before it opened on 15 December 1965. Whatever gets Oscar nominated for best film in 2014 -- consider 1965 when "Sound of Music" "Darling" and "Dr. Zhivago" all vied for best film. I was lucky enough to see Dr Zhivago in restored version in wide screen in theaters twice -- and it is beyond amazing. It is true that it is not entirely faithful to the book and David Lean and Robert Bolt had to condense Pasternak's massive volume considerably, and it is still overwhelming anyway. If the reader has never seen it, find a way to see it, but be forewarned. You may go to pieces in places as I did.
I can still remember the first time I saw Dr Zhivago.It was a hot summer day and I was ca 14. The impression was breathtaking and almost 30 years later I rank this as one of my greatest movie moments.
I think the movie was much better than the book it was based on. Vladimir Nabokov thought it was melodramatic trash--although he did concede that Boris Pasternak was "not a bad poet."
According to wiseGEEK: “Typically, these boxes are very tightly sealed. When they work as intended, they trap moisture and prevent bread from becoming stale too quickly.”
I'm clearly showing my age (37) and lack of movie appreciation, but I've never heard of Geraldine Chaplin. She seemed to be an absolute sweetheart. Guess I'll watch "Dr Zhvago" sometime soon.
"Doctor Zhivago", along with "In Which We Serve", "Oliver Twist", "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "Great Expectations", "Lawrence of Arabia", and "Brief Encounter", have two things in common. They were all directed by David Lean, and are regarded as the greatest British films ever made.
Since we've already seen the Polly Bergen episode (January 9, 1966; #798) that was posted in her memory last September, we'll jump straight ahead to January 16, 1966; episode #799. Episode #798 also aired last Christmas on GSN, when WML annually returned.
I still hear and see the phrase "bigger than a bread box" to this day. I imagine many of the people who use it have no idea who made it famous. Most of could quote various phrases and patter used on the show, but did any others become popular catchphrases?
+R.D. Dragon My parents said it was a popular phrase in the 1930's ( back when people all HAD bread boxes ). So maybe Steve Allen just gave the phrase further life.
During the goodbyes: Martin: Good night Steve, Happy New Year! .. Arlene. Arlene: Arlene WHAT?! :) 24:07 Bennett: And John, no more babies this year! John: I knew when he get to be Chairman of the board he'd become the bossiest man I ever ran into and it's begun already. 24:20 [Bennett was made Chairman of the Board at Random House ('kicked upstairs' as Bennett said) and John became a father during 1966.]
I would be surprised if young people today even knew what a bread box is. I remember one that my mom received as a shower gift back in '63, but we kept the bread in the fridge.
Harold McGee, in the book "On Food and Cooking," says that bread goes stale faster at refrigerator temperature than it does at room temperature. In my experience, that's true for some kinds of bread. Other kinds at room temperature tend to get moldy before they go stale, and refrigeration is a good idea for best preserving those.
My mom began keeping our bread in the freezer and I do the same when I buy bread. In addition to keeping the bread fresh, it also was better at preserving the cold cuts on the sandwiches that my mom made for me and my brother to take to school. We always brown bagged it for lunch rather than spend money on a school lunch.
@@loissimmons6558 Yes, freezing keeps bread fresher longer than refrigerating, but unless making toast, I find it hard to thaw it without it getting soggy. I also got frozen sandwiches in brown-bag school lunches, usually with sliced home-cooked roast beef or other meats; Mom wouldn't feed us cold cuts. But though they were tasty and healthy, the bread on the sandwiches was either still a bit icy or rather damp, and that turned me off frozen bread, so I don't do that now.
+Neil Midkiff How do you store the bread in the freezer? I store it inside of a plastic bag, and I find the bread gradually gets drier, perhaps due to the automatic defrost function of the freezer. So I don't find my bread becoming soggy when it thaws. I also find that it thaws pretty fast if left out on a plate at normal room temperature (not the Steven Wright definition of room temperature). That's because with all the air holes from the leavening action, a slice of bread has a lot of surface area. Contrast that with the length of time to thaw a frozen English muffin with its smooth outer surface (I don't store them pre-cut) and relatively small amount of surface area. I also like frozen bread for times when I am spreading something on the bread that tends to tear a soft piece of bread (e.g. cream cheese). Living alone, a large loaf of store brand bread would go stale if I didn't freeze it. And growing up in a lower-middle class family, I learned to pinch pennies. I buy bargain brands and I sometimes buy cold cuts. Sometimes I will buy sliced roast beef (which I like with lettuce and mayo). But I also buy hard salami (never Genoa), classic bologna, olive loaf (although I don't see that very often these days), boiled ham (w/ sliced cheese or cream cheese) or liverwurst. And occasionally I will get corned beef or pastrami. But I prefer to get those, especially the latter, if I am out at a good deli. Pastrami (not too lean) on a round roll w/brown mustard, a garlic pickle spear, maybe a small side of cole slaw and a Dr. Brown's soda (black cherry, cream or root beer): I'll take that over any fancy-schmancy 5 star French restaurant any day.
When the Game Show Network was running these, they clipped out the original commercials in order to insert their own. The gap in the sound at 0:23 is where the original announcer said "Brought to you by..."; then the sponsor's product would be shown and mentioned, then the animated opening title would finish. Gary has spliced original commercials back in to a few episodes where they were available; a good example is the October 17, 1965 show with Oscar Levant as the mystery guest.
If there are any readers out there, the book "The Velveteen Daughter" shows the fascinating connection between the author of "The Velveteen Rabbit" (Margery Williams Bianco) & Oona O'Neil. Margery's sister's daughter was Agnes, who married the playwright Eugene O'Neil, & gave birth to Shane & Oona. A very interesting book--highly recommended!
Yes, very funny! I have been putting up with derivatives of my family name my entire life. Mr. Cabibi was a distant cousin of mine. He was a wonderful, generous man.
Despite airing as the first episode of 1966, this episode was taped on December 12, 1965. While this episode was being taped, the Kate Smith episode they taped on November 21 was shown.
Silverstone L There you go again, Why shouldn't someone remark upon how much she looks like Charlie? You seem irritated by that. I mean she really really really does look like him. It's difficult not to want to share that.
Gorgeous woman. Great film Dr. Zhivago. Not so great for the actors to shoot pretend winter scenes in the middle of a scorching hot mediterranean summer
Charles Cabibi was a cousin to my grandfather. I remember him when I was a kid when he would come to our house in Brooklyn and spend time with my family. I remember him being such a wonderfully congenial man with a big smile. His students gave free haircuts to those who could not afford a haircut. Many of the men in my family attended his school and learned to cut hair. I remember watching this episode with my grandparents when it aired. The school finally closed due to rent increases in the building where the school in NYC was located. Fond memories of my childhood.
The panel mentions they all know Geraldine Chaplin's brother Sidney - he was a very successful actor in the '50s and '60s on B'way and film. He was actually her half-brother and 26 years older than she. She seemed caught off guard by the comment.
When the third and last contestant entered there was almost seven minutes left of the show. If the panel had been quicker they could had time with a fourth (or even perhaps a fifth) contestant.
You are stirring up memories of my grammar school days when the kids would make fun of my family name. The above mentioned is one of them. Mr. Cabibi was a cousin to my grandfather. A wonderful man. Rest in Peace Charlie.
How many of the jobs in this program still jobs today? Just finished watching an episode of "electric dreams" in which Geraldine Chaplin starred. I thought she looked somewhat familiar. 50 years is quite a career span.
Dorothy appeared on the first episode in 1950 with 3 men. Same for Arlene in the second episode of WML. Both times the men were Dr. Richard Hoffmann, Gov. Harold Hoffman (NJ) and Louis Untermeyer. Episode 3 was the first time Dorothy and Arlene appeared together and from then on, the vast majority of shows had two men and two women on the panel. Gov. Hoffman left the panel at that point. Hal Block replaced the dull Dr. Hoffmann on episode 4. Arlene was the only person besides John Daly who was on the show for basically the entire run of the show, every season. (Bennett appeared in every year, but his first episode was in October 1950, the second season's fifth episode. He joined the panel as a regular 5 months later when Untermeyer departed the show under unfortunate circumstances.) Only John appeared more often (873 episodes to Arlene's 831). And Arlene was a panelist for all of her appearances. Dorothy was a Mystery Guest once. Bennett Cerf moderated WML one time.
someone must have sedated Mrs McClung in the green room - geesh, she didn't even acknowledge Steve Allen without whom she surely would never have been on the show
I'm addicted to this show. I'm watching all episodes and won't get tired of it!

Odd that Bennett would say they were "all very good friends of [Geraldine Chaplin's] brother Sydney," because Sydney died the previous April.

Despite airing as the first episode of 1966, this episode was taped on December 12, 1965. While this episode was being taped, the Kate Smith episode they taped on November 21 was shown.
she looks just like her father (:
So does he! ! ! !
BLAIR M Schirmer Wow I never knew that. I only saw her in Dr Zhivago.
Silverstone L There you go again, Why shouldn't someone remark upon how much she looks like Charlie? You seem irritated by that. I mean she really really really does look like him. It's difficult not to want to share that.
I guess Geraldine didn't know that mystery guests traditionally adopted a fake voice to confuse the panel. Oh well, she was lovely and charming.
Allen nails it !
HOF and HAF !
Mr Cerf makes a “Charlie” of us all.
Actualy acted in English , French and Spanich wow
Gorgeous woman. Great film Dr. Zhivago. Not so great for the actors to shoot pretend winter scenes in the middle of a scorching hot mediterranean summer
acting..........hey
Well as a Dr Zhivago fan, I suspend my disbelief every time.
*_MAKES BREAD BOXES_*
*_RUNS SCHOOL FOR BARBERS_*
*_SELLS MUSIC BOXES_*
I think that Audrey Meadows was supposed to be on the panel but her plane flight was delayed and she couldn't make the show so Steve Allen filled in.
Jayne Meadows, not Audrey Meadows, who is her sister.
Love Geraldine.
Sad to say that the Atlas Barber School closed in 2012.
Charles Cabibi was a cousin to my grandfather. I remember him when I was a kid when he would come to our house in Brooklyn and spend time with my family. I remember him being such a wonderfully congenial man with a big smile. His students gave free haircuts to those who could not afford a haircut. Many of the men in my family attended his school and learned to cut hair. I remember watching this episode with my grandparents when it aired. The school finally closed due to rent increases in the building where the school in NYC was located. Fond memories of my childhood.
@@philc128I’m pleased to read your memories. This show provides so many opportunities for us to recall so many. Thank you for sharing them.
This was the modern, graphic intro to WML
That started being used in Summer of 1965 to June 1974.
Geraldine Chaplin. Daughter of Charlie Chaplin and Oona O'Neill.
And another incredibly easy Mystery Guest round for the Panel.
and a granddaughter of Eugene O'Neill....
3:26 Just for you, Steve Allen!
The panel mentions they all know Geraldine Chaplin's brother Sidney - he was a very successful actor in the '50s and '60s on B'way and film. He was actually her half-brother and 26 years older than she. She seemed caught off guard by the comment.
When the third and last contestant entered there was almost seven minutes left of the show. If the panel had been quicker they could had time with a fourth (or even perhaps a fifth) contestant.
Johan Bengtsson There were actually several episodes with five games. But the only one that exists today is July 17, 1955.
Quite a difference in height between Steve and Martin. 1:20
I have never even heard of Geraldine Chaplin before, she is very pretty, in fact she could pass for Jennifer Garners mother or other family member 😊
아름답다☆
From the thumb mail, I thought it was Alexandra Moltke
Victoria Winters!
Steve Allen...Kabooboo... 🥰🤣
You are stirring up memories of my grammar school days when the kids would make fun of my family name. The above mentioned is one of them. Mr. Cabibi was a cousin to my grandfather. A wonderful man. Rest in Peace Charlie.
She looks like Maisie so much omg!(from JW)
Arlene didn't have to make fun of her husband when he guess it right . It ain't like she's never missed getting things right.
Exact same panel lineup as on the final show in 1967.
Well, the lineup could not be better!
Is it bigger than a bread box?
Shes pretty and her voice too
Steve Allen was 6' 3"
Martin Gabel was 5' 6"
Martin actually topped 6ft but acted shorter for TV
@@peternagy-im4be Stupid sacasm.
How many of the jobs in this program still jobs today? Just finished watching an episode of "electric dreams" in which Geraldine Chaplin starred. I thought she looked somewhat familiar. 50 years is quite a career span.
Before show ended guy told host, no more babies. I don't know how many children, he has.
2 sons and 1 daughter from first marriage. 2 sons and 1 daughter from second marriage.
Has Arlene ever appeared with 3 guys on a panel before?I know Bennett has appeared with a female panel.
Dorothy appeared on the first episode in 1950 with 3 men. Same for Arlene in the second episode of WML. Both times the men were Dr. Richard Hoffmann, Gov. Harold Hoffman (NJ) and Louis Untermeyer.
Episode 3 was the first time Dorothy and Arlene appeared together and from then on, the vast majority of shows had two men and two women on the panel. Gov. Hoffman left the panel at that point. Hal Block replaced the dull Dr. Hoffmann on episode 4.
Arlene was the only person besides John Daly who was on the show for basically the entire run of the show, every season. (Bennett appeared in every year, but his first episode was in October 1950, the second season's fifth episode. He joined the panel as a regular 5 months later when Untermeyer departed the show under unfortunate circumstances.) Only John appeared more often (873 episodes to Arlene's 831). And Arlene was a panelist for all of her appearances. Dorothy was a Mystery Guest once. Bennett Cerf moderated WML one time.
@@loissimmons6558 The show seems so to be off with three men and one woman on the panel.
Judging by the lettering, Mr Guggenheim may have been a last minute get. I wonder why.
It is my understanding that they always had a contestant on standby, usually from the NYC area
someone must have sedated Mrs McClung in the green room - geesh, she didn't even acknowledge Steve Allen without whom she surely would never have been on the show
HOW THE HELL does Bennett Cerf pull his correct guesses seemingly out of thin air?
Simple...he cheats..everyone knows this
Yep. He got information from someone before the shows. Not all the time, and not for all the contestants but a lot of the time.
@@gailsirois7175😅
Come on. He did not cheat, but he studied who was in town at the time.
Stupid people always think smart people cheat.
Ms Chaplin is very pretty.
Geraldine looks like her father.
Mary acted scared stiff 😅
This must be the first 3 men 1 woman panel since very early in the program's history, c. 1950.
The last CBS episode broadcasted in 9/67 was also 3 men, one woman (the same people as in this episode).
😍😍😍
I miss Dorothy after the fact that she was
murdered in 1965.
Or the fact that she died of an accidental overdose of barbiturates.
"Is it a useful product?" Has anyone ever answered "no" to that question?
Johan Bengtsson. The categories in those days were useful vs. decorative.
@@lauraminer9542 Perhaps, but when you think about it, even "decorative" products are "useful" to those who wish to decorate.
I remember someone who made false eyelashes answering "no".
