A Guide for the Married Woman
« on: October 13, 2008, 02:17:08 AM »
It's airing now, but I'm sure it'll air in the future...

On Fox Movie Channel, there's a late-70s TV movie called A Guide for the Married Woman, starring Cybill Shepherd. However, it appears to be worth checking out for the extensive list of game show-related guest stars. I counted four hosts (Peter Marshall, Chuck Woolery, Elaine Joyce and Sarah Purcell), and even more who made appearances on shows (Tom Poston, George Gobel, and Barbara Feldon).

Obviously, there's most likely no game show content, but fun to see the hosts in acting roles...

Poston was a host himself once, though certainly he's better known as a guest.  You can also add John Byner to the list.  That's SIX game show hosts in one movie.  Surely that's got to be some kind of record, especially for non-cameo roles.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Poston was a host? I didn't know that, which show? To me, he'll always be George Utley, the dimwitted yet likeable handyman on Newhart.

Poston hosted a short-lived Goodson-Todman show called "Split Personality" in 1958-59.   The pilot is in circulation.

"Split Personality" back in 1959.


Here's a review for said film, complete with scene shots...

If the third photo is who I think it is, that may be the most disturbing photo of Chuck Woolery ever submitted to the world.
