I understand Stapleton took a ship to England when she did The Little Foxes because she wouldn't fly. She should have won the Oscar for Airport. It was such a moving performance.
I agree that Wally Bruner was the weakest of the three hosts, but I think that while John Daly was perfect for the Sunday-night show, Larry Blyden brought a certain informality to the daily show and besides that, his interest in the contestants and mystery guests was genuine. Bruner just seemed to be imitating Daly, I have had a crush on Joanna Barnes ever since she co-starred with Peter Falk on "Trials of O'Brien" in the '60s. I'm sure most people would agree that Dorothy Kilgallen was irreplaceable on "Line," but if anybody could have come close I think Joanna would have been it.
It's really 😎 to see Nipsey on any game show, the man's a legend as well as the late Scoey Mitchell. I'm not sure if Maureen and Jean are sisters but I'm reasonably certain they are
It is unbelievable how fast time goes. I'm probably one of those curious to see how he would have done in the early 90s version of Match Game, which he hosted the pilot for. Unfortunately, his health problems started not too long before they were to start taping.
If you do still want your fill of Match Game, up here in Canada there's a new version airing on The Comedy Network. The stakes aren't that high, but they're doing alright with it so far. Some episodes have been posted on RUclips I believe.
Yes, CBS began the process of switching their prime time shows to color during the 1965-66 season, with the last few shows that were still airing in b&w making the switch (at CBS' insistence) during 1966-67.
Yeah, I can definitely agree with you there. If anyone had to take Gene's place on MG, I would have definitely preferred Bert. It's a damn shame he had to die so young. Ross Shafer was a complete bust as host of MG 90. His on air feud with Vicki Lawrence really showed him up. I can't think of any veteran host who would have let things come to such a pass right on the air for all to see.
Regarding match game 90s, I had no problem with the host, however the panelists with the exception of Brad Garrett were the pits, not even Brett and Charles could save it
I could not find any info where CBS owned the rights. Goodson and Todman were the original production comany and Goodson bought the rights after Todman's death.
Bob Sewvello They also taped To Tell The Truth there. Years later I went to a taping of Kate and Allie there. It's a small theater but looks bigger when they show the audience.
BEAUTIFUL! IT'S THE LOVE OF GOD FOR ME! ❤️🔥
Nothing beats the original cast and show.
Even as long ago as this is, I still can't quite believe Bert Convy is gone.
So are Arlene Francis, Nipsey Russell and Wally Bruner.
AND JOANNA BARNES (2022).
Miss Francis fabulous in Pucci!
I like it when Arlene said that the Salvation Army is the best army in the world. It is active in 133 countries.
I love Arlene Francis
A What's My Line 1968-75 without Soupy Sales is legendary.
This episode was surreal

I notice that John always tried to side with the contestant. Wally seems to be trying to help the panel.
As of February 2018, only Joanna Barnes is still alive.
And is still alive in 2020. She turns 86 November 15.
She died 4/29/22, at age 87.

No they were not related. In fact, Jean Stapleton was born Jean Murray.
@@gwenniegirl50 thanks for the information 🙂
Bert Convy would be 80 years old in July if he were still alive.

Taped on January 21, 1969.

Bert Convy would be 80 yesrs old in July if he were dtill
"No branch of the government, whatsoever..."
"She wears a uniform"
Should let the PANEL ASK, Wally!
Arlene Francis's name suited her.
Arlene Francis used her real first name and real middle name for her stage name.
All the syndicated episodes were in color.
Do you have the mystery guest, Angie Dickinson? I would love to see it! It was aired September 22., 1968! 💛
Do you happen to have the 1968 episode with Angie Dickinson?
The last season of the CBS version was in color (1966-1967)
Yes, CBS began the process of switching their prime time shows to color during the 1965-66 season, with the last few shows that were still airing in b&w making the switch (at CBS' insistence) during 1966-67.
The taped reruns of the last season (1966-1967) used back and white video tape.
Arlene asked if the first woman was a nun. This was around the time that nuns began modernizing their habits. Today most nuns do not wear habits.
"Today most nuns do not wear habits." As a habit, yes.

Nipsey Russell substituted for Soupy Sales.
That’s impossible I don’t know how can it be syndicated,when CBS held the rights to that show.
I could not find any info where CBS owned the rights. Goodson and Todman were the original production comany and Goodson bought the rights after Todman's death.
Taped in the Ed Sullivan Theater.
Bob Sewvello They also taped To Tell The Truth there. Years later I went to a taping of Kate and Allie there. It's a small theater but looks bigger when they show the audience.
the rapper nipsey hustle got his name from nipsey russell
R E A L L Y ???
Hustle was murdered and they caught the killer.
The Salvation Army creeps me out!
This guy doesn't even let the panel have a chance to come up with the answer; it's annoying!
