Right here.Some nice pictures...I don't remember the set looking like that, however.

Wow! Those pictures seem to be from the first year that was taped in New York at the Little Theater off of Times Square. I saw them tape there about 6 times. Behind the players on the bench were squares that indicated whether they were betting on the "clock" or the "star." Contestants received prizes for winning a stunt. Very cool!
Has that first year of NY shows ever been shown on GSN?

Those pictures were from the first year run. The pilot was done at Reeves Teletape Studio on 81st and Broadway - they taped Sesame Street there in it's early years. I read on the web that they did 13 weeks at Teletape before moving to the Little Theater but I don't remember that - I thought they only did the pilot at Teletape. At the Little Theater, they shared the facility with David Frost. Jack Narz took great pride that the helium balloons used often went to the rafters and would burst during Frost's interviews! I do remember Dick Hyman's playing the organ at the back of the theater. Pretty cool! One guest I remember from that first year was Larry Blyden who had just started hosting "The Movie Game."
