I saw this episode of “I’ve Got a Secret” several years ago when the Game Show Network used to run a block of programming called “Sunday Night in Black and White.” They featured vintage game shows such as “I’ve Got a Secret”, “What’s My Line?”, and “To Tell The Truth.” It’s too bad they discontinued this programming.
“Sunday Night in Black and White.”
I LOVED that! Those old shows were so great, everyone was so polite and dressed up! I’m very sorry they got rid of it too, enough “lingo” already, these shows were great!
I also liked a game show I used to listen to on NPR....what was the name? I can’t remember, “if you say so”??? “you don’t say”??? Something like that.
It was a very clever game, I only heard it a few times (of course it became elusive as soon as I liked it!) but it involved odd words and fake definitions and having to guess which were real or fake.
I mention it because the promo used to say it would take you back to the days when “radio was in black and white” and I thought that summed it up very well.
It WAS like the old days with Dorothy Kilgallen and all, they’d’ve fit right in. It was very high minded and the folks on it were very polite to each other. And no politics at all, it was really the best NPR show I’ve ever heard (2nd best - “car talk” of course, best callers in radio!).
