Title: "Simon Says" with Sonny Fox
Post by: alfonzos on November 02, 2010, 02:29:56 PM

I have just added pictures to Simon Says on Boardgame Geek (http://\"http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/14257/simon-says\"). Does anybody know if this was actually a game show somewhere?

OT Trivia: On The Gong Show Chuck Barris held "Sonny Fox Day" and "Funny Socks Day" on consecutive programs.

"Simon Says" was a regular feature of Wonderama when Sonny Fox hosted it in the sixties.  Much like the Art Linkletter box game Whirligig (Milton Bradley 1963), or the Shenanigans toys like Bobbin Noggin or Where's Willie, this definitely deserves a mention, even if it isn't, strictly speaking, a game show home game.  Nice find.
