If you happen to be flying through the United terminal (Terminal 3) at SFO this fall, you can see an exhibition entitled "TV in the Antenna Age" (http://"http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/sfo_museum/exhibitions/terminal3_exhibitions/north_connect_gallery"). There are a number of exhibits of old TVs, including some now-rare roundies, along with various artifacts of early TV.
Of course, the on-topic item is an exhibit of a few game show home games from the '50s through the '70s. There isn't a picture on the exhibit website, but I took one with my iPhone.
Game Show Home Games at SFO (http://"http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4408/img0511f.jpg")
It looks like this includes
- a 1950s What's My Line
- The $64000 Question
- Merv Griffin's Word for Word
- Concentration
- Jeopardy!
- a 1970s Match Game
- Family Feud
The text on the display includes a photo from "Twenty One" and a headline about the quiz show scandals.
I'm flying out again today and I'll see if I can get more info on the display and post them here. Definitely worth checking out if you're flying through SFO.

I'm going through there in a little under three weeks, though I'm flying Virgin America. Can you make a note and see if the exhibit on the wrong side of the Security Theater?

Don't think so. There's no connection between T2 (Virgin & American) and T3 (United). But they are still building, so ask.

If it's where I remember the exhibits to be, it's probably on the wrong side of security. But it looks like there are some inside and some outside of security.
This link might help a little:

Actually, it says the exhibit is in Terminal 3.
