However, in 1961, there was a prime time version of the show that was in color and lasted a few months. Ironically, Concentration was on in prime a couple of times during the original NBC run.

Please to be explaining the irony of it.
It should be noted that Norm Blumenthal ordering Lin Bolen out of the control room during a taping session probably didn't help his cause, either. This story was told to the Game Show Congrefs IV assemblage this past summer in Glendale, California shortly after Doug and I got back from lunch at whatever restaurant we went to and I paused briefly to check out the chicks sunning themselves by the hotel swimming pool.
