You Don't Say 1960s Question
« on: April 30, 2013, 02:12:57 PM »

Forgive me if this was covered before, but I\'ve always wondered how the contestants on You Don\'t Say saw the answers? It looks like they pull out a blank card covering the categories from box that looks like a napkin dispenser. Does anyone know exactly how it worked?

They, um, pulled a card out of a box.

so does this mean it\'s my turn to get smart-mouth replies? Now I know I really belong to this group.

That\'s a really ungrateful way to thank someone who took time out of his day to answer your question.

I wouldn\'t thank him either...as I said, not everything needs the Lemon Touch. This was one of those times.


 


(in other words, response could\'ve been a little more tactful and not out and out disdainful. As in \"that\'s how they did it, how you saw it, that easily.\")

I suppose you can still learn stuff on TLC, though it would be more in the Goofus & Gallant sense, that is (don't do what these parents did)"- Travis Eberle, 2012

Yeah, I\'ll go ahead and take Chris Palmer\'s advice regarding tact under advisement, right after I get done with Professor Horan\'s Humility 101...

And throw in \"dismissing the critic because you don\'t like him\"...almost a Triple Play.

But knowing when you\'ve been buttered, that\'s another thing entirely. And it costs extra too.

Before the gratuitous shitstorm derails this thread, I\'ll step in to say that I don\'t believe Chris was trying to be a smartass. Looking at the pics on Adam Nedeff\'s site, I think it really was that simple. I doubt You Don\'t Say used a mechanical setup like on Password.


 


Looking at an episode on Youtube, it indeed looks like a pull-card system, kinda like a fancier version of the card boxes used in Trivial Pursuit.

Thanks for a sensible response. The reason I asked is becasue the contestants appear to look into the box and not at the card they pull out, so I was just wondering exactly why it was set up this way.

If that be the case upon the new evidence...withdrawn.
