Flipper was such a hit for youngsters and adults alike, I thought "How can any of them NOT know what he looks like"? Even a few years older." Flipper is just nostalgia for me as my whole family crammed into our station wagon to watch it at the drive-in.
"Tiny" was one of the most darling contestants I can remember. I LOVED it when Kitty said, "How marvelous!" and clasped her hands, laughing. Just wonderful TV. And, Orson, while patently goofy, really kept things lively and amusing. (And he's FAR too quick and sharp to have been drunk...)
The "Flipper" franchise consisted of two hit 1960's movies (the first of them inspired the beloved 1964-1967 series), a film reboot with Elijah Wood, a 1990's TV reboot with a pre-"Dark Angel" Jessica Alba, and an animated series that aired in Australia. Luke Halpin returned in the 1990's film reboot.
Actually, the second Flipper movie was more closely tied to the series than the first movie was. It's in the second that it is established that Mrs. Ricks is dead (as would be the case in the series), Brian Kelly assumes the role of Porter Ricks, replacing Chuck Conners from the first film, and at the end it is announced that Porter has acquired the position of Ranger of Coral Key Park, which would be the setting of the series.
I saw the "Flipper" movies when I was a kid, so I knew Luke Halpin right away. It was fun looking back at this. He was also on the "Flipper" T.V. show too.
First point: Luke Halpin "#1" states that his character was 13 yo in the first Flipper movie, but actually the movie story indicates that he was 12. With the second film and the ensuing series there was an apparent effort to "age him up" a year, so he was "retconned" a year older in the original movie. Second point: The show where Luke Halpin played Orson Bean's son was the Studio One episode "A Christmas Surprise" from seven years prior, December 1956. Luke was 9 at the time, but the character was probably a couple years younger than that in the story. The Decades channel used to air Studio One weeknights, in random order, but never showed that episode, and likely never will, as they've shown the ones they have aired multiple times already, without ever including that one, even at Christmastime.
OMG--I remember "Flipper" when it was a TV show. And I had SUCH a crush on this guy!! LOL (And if Tom Position was familiar with any of this guys facial features, he should have disqualified himself.)
Wow, they showed her photo, but I still missed it; guess 50 years DOES make a difference Luke Halpin I recognized right away from the film, and Orson Bean worked with him so was a disqualifier. Tom Poston recognized him from the movie poster. I mean wasn't that inevitable with a star, even if they hadn't seen the film? By the way Luke was 16 here, and is still going strong at 75
I knew the parachuter was #2 from the way she answered but also just because of how cute she was, but how did she use 3 parachutes on the way down? You'd think she would fell to the ground trying to open that SECOND chute!

The title is wrong. Others parachuted from planes/balloons with the parachute stored in a cannister attached to the plane; or as Tiny did when demonstrating for the U.S. Army, with the parachute in a pack the jumper wore with a static line attached to the plane that would open the pack as the jumper fell away. Tiny's static line was causing some problems getting tangled, so before one jump, she cut it so that it wasn't attached to the plane anymore, and pulled the line by hand and thus opening the pack herself thereupon becoming the first person in the world to make an intentional freefall parachute jump.
@@nameless4189 In the same vein, there were legal sweepstakes (lotteries) in the U.S. in the 18th and 19th centuries--the early ones helped pay for the costs of the Revolutionary War. But corruption resulted in them being banned. New Hampshire's was the first modern legal lottery...my mother's friend was one of the early big winners in it, taking home $50,000 in 1964.
This episode is hilarious once you realize Orson is totally smashed., along with maybe the rest of the panel. Too funny when he started blowing on Kitty's boa.
Just wow. Always love the guests and their accomplishments
It's also always fun when a fake contestant is actually a family member of a crew person, or is even a famous person in disguise.

I totally agree, without having gone to the drive-in.
Peggy and Luke were both in the 1969 movie "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium."
I saw that movie at Radio City Music Hall!
@@johnscanlan9335 I would have liked to have seen it there.
@Trefoile Like all movies shown there it was spectacular!

I don’t believe Orson is as funny as he thinks he is. He can be rather annoying.
So true.

Luke Halpin was also in the Flipper television series. Still alive at 75.
I read about a year ago that sadly he is in poor health.
Tommy Norden who played Bud is also still alive in 2023

I like Orson Bean, his quick wit is always amusing!
In the last round it was difficult to tell which two were lying on porpoise!
Love these fierce grannies. Wow.
I wonder if they are still alive?
I love how Tiny sounds like a Munchkin.

Orson is mightily confused, the Hindenburg exploded, the Graf Zeppelin was scrapped
With all the water that Orson guzzles during the show maybe there was a shot of liquor in it. LOL
He was a comedian. LIghten up.
Is he gonna say "boy" , does Kitty wear a helmet !!!!???? Does Bud have the FLU again !!!!????
Why would Kitty wear a helmet in the first place?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Orson supplies wisecracks and jokes now, so Tom seems to be more reserved on the show.

There are claims of jumps earlier than 1913 so believe what you want, but remember, someday you're gonna answer to Tiny

Did you ever notice that Orson takes a drink of water after votes?
Water?

In case anyone's curious, Geronimo died in 1909, which means he never had the opportunity to jump out of a plane yelling, "Meeeee!"
