Anybody feel like kickin' it old school?

Wish I had more...

Concentration
The Price Is Right (One of my favorite pix of Bill)
To Tell the Truth (OK, not so old)
[/quote]


The Concentration one reminds me of the style of  some "coming up" slides NBC used following The Nighttime Ford Show with Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1960-61..I have about 11 of these shows on VHS from the Ford Show run..One show they advertised in the slides was "Wagon Train"

The Concentration slide had to be from the Monday night Spring-Summer 1961 run..

OT (but not really) The NBC "snake" logo brings back memories..I never reaized for a long time that they ever used any other logo before the mid 70's..

That last one is interesting...obviously you have Garry and the Three C's, but they had Gene Rayburn as the fourth panelist. Did they do a batch of these with other fourth-people? Was Gene considered a semi-regular by the producers, so they used him on the slide to get the idea across of "hey, we always have four people on the panel?"
This isn't a plug, but you can ask me about my book.

"So that's how they get the words on the screen". My reaction at a taping of Art Fleming's J! when I saw the camera swing to an art card on an easel for "Final Jeopardy". The low-tech S&P requirements simply had the easel far enough downstage to not be visible to the contestants. But as an audience member in studio 6A, I had plenty of time to study the answer. Oh, and I asked for and have kept the card (yellow lettering on black) all these years.

You don't really want to send me rummaging through storage. But it was something like "Outside of North America, last year this country was the #1 destination for American tourists"

And the correct question was a surprise for me... I didn't think it was an obvious choice.

Before you start the Final J! music, and before I put my response in the form of a question, Randy, what year are we talking here?  :-P

Approx 1970. I was still in my mother's womb. She sat on the aisle with her legs spread so I could see!  ;-]

OK, I found the old art card. The Final Jeopardy answer is:

"Outside of North America and Europe, the country most visited by U.S. tourists". [cue music]
