Celebrity Bullseye question

That\'s definitely Ken Kercheval, and although I wouldn\'t swear to it, the woman after that looks a lot like Brenda Vaccaro.

 

I take this back. Looking at Rita Moreno\'s opponents on tvguide.com, by process of elimination, the woman is most likely Vikki Carr.

To answer JMFabiano\'s question, in terms of the episode that\'s posted on YouTube, there was no mention at all of Leave it to Beaver or Gilligan\'s Island, and this was the third match they played against each other (which may explain why Jerry might be bored) although if I were to guess, there was probably little mention during the previous match as well. Gilligan\'s Island fans know that Tina Louise hated doing \"GI\" (as she would refer to it) and reportedly, was told that the series was about \"a movie star and 6 other castaways on a deserted island\", leading her to believe she would be the focus of the show. To sum it up, she was basically the Robert Reed of the cast, as Robert Reed resented doing The Brady Bunch. Jerry Mathers, on the other hand, had a more positive experience with Leave it to Beaver so at least at that time he had no problem being associated with the show. 

 

One consistent problem with Bullseye throughout the entire run was the pacing. It was just too slow, although later in the run the pacing improved some. I think they should\'ve kept the main game winning at $1000, as playing for $2000 made the game seem a bit long.

The values in the windows doubled right along with the goal, so the pacing change was nil.

The quality of the questions - many of them multiple choice, IIRC, and dragged out in Jim\'s monotone delivery - helped make the celeb version very boring. Enright was rarely impressed with the brain power of most celebs. One exception was Orson Bean, who, according to Dan, while most celebs gossiped and stuck with show biz small talk between tapings, Bean would be somewhere reading a book. When the ratings sink, what do you do? Go with the (hopeful) draw of celebrity eye candy with softball questions for charity. Dull. Other than scale and bragging rights, what else can the C-list celebs gain? With civilians, who (even when paired with celebs) are fighting for every dollar, you get more excitement and strategy going. You relate to them. The civilians sure weren\'t going to get scale just for being there...just Rice A Roni and Lee Press-On Nails for losing. If celebs and big money together were the formula for a sure-fire hit, Celebrity Millionaire would still be around, right?  Celebs and games, usually okay. Celebs and quizzes? Not so much.

Considering this was a man more than willing to put one over on the viewing public in the \'50s by rigging shows, and considering the quality of the questions on his shows in the \'70s and \'80s, one might suggest his disdain wasn\'t limited to celebrities.
