One thing I noticed about this Secrets episode was the $1,500 sign in the last round...as far as I remember, the other four episodes on the circuit don't have that. The nametags looked different too.

Was great to see another episode...I love the theme song too. Hope it shows up in the clear someday. :)

That "$1500" was definitely added in post at *some* point, because those digits wouldn't have fit in the three-character, 5x7 eggcrate display.

Neither of these shows really appealed to me, but it's fascinating to see this "fringe" stuff appear on television. Hopefully the branding deal means it will continue for a good little while.

Oddly, the copy of Babble on YT had slightly better framerate.

I wouldn't be surprise if all of these programs on this block came from Wink Martindale's collection.

I'd doubt that. Maybe the UCLA collection??? Both shows were definitely from non-broadcast-quality sources!

"Babble" wasn't too bad of a format; just a little slow-paced.

ETA: I know where they got the shows from!!! And if some of you hang out on Facebook, you'll know too.....

Does it rhyme with "BlinkInc." by any chance?

I was thinking John Ricci Jr., since he seems to be where most of the super-rare stuff comes from.

If it's not him, then who/what?

(EDIT:
, with Matt O. converting the tapes to a format GSN can use. Also, turns out about 40 episodes of All Star Secrets exist.)

That's too bad. But as far as I know, it depended on the producer, not the network. Hill & Eubanks saw no rerun value in the show, so they let NBC destroy the original masters.

That's the first I've ever heard of this.

I enjoyed watching Secrets and Babble. I can't remember the last time I saw Abbe Labe on anything. Babble was slow paced, but I liked the "surprise" celeb guest at the end.

Abbe Labe's never been on anything.  Now Abbe Lane, on the other hand, . . .    8)

/Lane did HSq a few times.  Also did a week of GONG in 1977.

Oops, I did it again.  :) I also see that according to Wiki (yeah, I know), Abbe was married to Xavier Cugat, so she and Charo have something in common. Abbe, however, was of legal age when she said "I do" to Cugie.

Abbe Lane was also on Funny You Should Ask. There's a picture of her, with several other celebrities on that show in The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows.

Other Game Show credits of her's include What's My Line and The All New All Star Beat the Clock.

Babble was OK but I really enjoyed All-Star Secrets.  Whenever I was home from school back then I watched it...that is, until Whew! came along in the same time slot.  Glad to hear 40 episodes or so exist...maybe we'll see a bit more of it eventually.

Wasn't Eubanks a bit of a jerk at times?  In the Jamie Farr UFO story, he immediately turned up his nose and said "I don't believe in flying saucers" - as if to discredit the story.  Nice way to treat a guest!
