What's My Line?
« on: September 25, 2004, 04:21:19 PM »
I was eight years old when WML went off the air.  I always thought than being on WML  must have been the best job in television.  Here were friends and colleagues getting together on Sunday night, dressed to the nines and playing a parlor game.  They also got paid to do this.  In my young mind I thought, "I coud do that."

They were bright, sophisticated and most of all, enjoyed being each other's company.  That's what they brought across on Sunday nights.  If that wasn't the case, then they were the best actors on Planet Earth and deserve every accoloade anyway.

It was great fun seeing the last show. I'm looking forward to the beginning nest week.

 I agree. I think the final WML show was presented with GREAT
class and style. John turned a "sad" occasion into  "happy and
joyous" memories!

That NYC Unemployment Claims Clerk was a brilliant gag! I don't
know who got the bigger laugh - John for pulling it off before it was
guessed, or Martin and Arlene after it was revealed!

The Class-A statement of the show has to go to Arlene Francis: "Good luck to our replacement", which was Mission: Impossible with Peter Graves taking over for Steven Hill as the leader of the IMF.
