Title: 70s TTTT coming to Buzzr.
Post by: golden-road on September 03, 2018, 12:28:43 PM
In addition to Classic Concentration, per this promo, the 70s version of To Tell The Truth is getting a regular time slot on 10/1. https://youtu.be/lkq7-tUp0yI

I wonder how much of this also comes from the success of the Anthony Anderson version? In other words, Buzzr maybe sees this as a chance to get audiences familiar with the old-school version.

Probably too much to ask, but there are entire seasons of both that never aired on GSN in full.

How appropriate that this announcement comes on Kitty Carlisle's birthday (9/3). I liked the newer set on Moore's TTTT better than that psychedelic set that looks dated today. If WML is coming back, I wonder if it will be with Bruner or Blyden.

It is coming to the schedule.   The promo for it started airing today.

I remember 70's TTTT being on in the afternoons when I was in high school, so that was about 12-13 years ago. So, still a long time more than likely.

Probably too much to ask, but there are entire seasons of both that never aired on GSN in full.
May I ask which ones? I remember watching plenty of both series ranging from the psychedelic set to Garagiola on TTTT and from Bennett Cerf appearances to the red/yellow set of WML?, but I was never great at identifying seasons in my youth. Only roundabout eras.

For TTTT, I believe the first season is missing, and most of 1973 through Garry’s final year didn’t air much. With WML?, Bruner episodes weren’t aired on a regular basis from what I remember, and I don’t think GSN ever finished the final season before they dropped it.

I believe so. IIRC, it aired from 3-4 pm with the Blyden WML?, and I remember catching it anytime I went to a department store to watch GSN via DirecTV or Dish.

After the G-T shows returned in April 1998, GSN cycled through almost all of the Blyden episodes (seasons 5-7), with occasional skips, until reaching the end of the syndicated series in May 2000. Then, for the remaining months the syndicated version was rerun, they aired Bruner episodes from 1970, although I couldn't tell you which side of S2 or S3 they fell on.

Prior to the loss of the G-T lease, I think they were airing Bruner episodes from 1969 on the weekends, but I couldn't swear to it. I don't know how much of the 1968-70 seasons were rerun, and I don't think GSN ever ran much of 1971-72 (the last with Bruner), based on the lack of episodes in collections and the sketchy episode guides. The ones with Roger Moore and Frank Zappa guest spots are from that season, I believe.

Yeah, the entire first year of the Moore run isn't in GSN's archive and presumably gone.  When GSN ran the show on the schedule last, they got into the first few weeks of the blue set era before taking it off.  So yeah, episodes 1973-77 haven't aired much on GSN.  1976 is an especially rare year, I think all of about two or three episodes from that year ever aired in the past.

As for tuner and colorizing movied, since to colorize them he had to restore the b & w prints, he was basically using the fad to fund the restoration of b & w films.

Although the colorization fad faded away, you can still see wonderful restored prints in b & w of many films on DVD or TCM.

So although no one is purchsing colorized anymore,  Turner companies are still making money off the restored movies.

Then I'd say no. Which begs the question; has any game show ever been colorized? Jeannie episodes were colorized years after the fact and had more value in reruns than Beat the Clock.

And if someone would spend the money on such a project, I'd like to see shows that were originally broadcast in color with no copies known to exist like original TPIR (or any other NBC game show from the 60s) or the last seasons of original IGAS and WML?

Could this be the end of Dawson Feud on weekdays outside of the 5:00 AM hour? Or might we see some additional shuffling as October 1st comes closer?

The fact that there are now two unlinked Perry Card Sharks runs (10:30 AM and 9:30 PM) makes me wonder if one of those slots will end up being the home of Dawson Feud.

Having watched parts of both episodes that just aired, I noticed two things that caught my attention:

1: Is it just me, or does whatever remaster job that Fremantle did on these episodes make the show look a lot more "cleaner" than the copies made for GSN's use 25ish years ago? Does progress march on?

2: Buzzr seems to cut out of the last gameplay segment several seconds faster than GSN did, not even letting the musical interlude play out before cutting to commercial. This is ironic given how this would be the same segment that would have the plugs for gifts given to impostors which I would think Buzzr would air given how plugs placed as such don't get cut on MG/Tattletales/NYSI.

3: I tuned back for the 1973 WML? episode and I immediately found something amiss: They cut out the panel introductions, going straight from Chet Gould's "Let's all play 'What's My Line?'!" to Larry Blyden walking to his desk. Given how well Buzzr has treated shows to date, this seems like something is very, very wrong since GSN did run this episode as-is minus fee/ticket plugs.
Title: Re: 70s TTTT coming to Buzzr.
Post by: arrowood20 on September 29, 2018, 10:26:33 PM
I also noticed that commercial breaks were inserted between the panel voting and Garry explaining the scoring system, in addition to the commercial breaks being where they normally are. It does seem odd to cut out the panel intros on WML, since the show easily fit a 30-minute slot with them even when GSN aired it. Cutting the fee plugs seemed weird, as well. Buzzr is kind of odd with things they cut on some shows but keep intact on others.

I wonder if they will keep the shows in a 40-minute window in the weekday afternoons and only cut the panel intros to fit into this 30-minute window yesterday. One can only hope.

The 2:00-4:00 block will be Tattletales/TTTT/WML/Password. Tattletales with its fee plugs intact and all.

I wonder if this was all rushed to get WML? at 25, the one rarity they did air, without any edits. Hopefully stuff isn't hacked to heck going forward since this doesn't look good at all.

WML Blyden today looked great, sounded great, but good luck to you if you want to know the names of the celebrity panel, because the show was JIP at Blyden walking to his seat with a voiceover, “Let’s all play WML!”

Someone named Soupy (?) told the host congrats for his Tony. Wonder who this fellow Soupy fellow is. /s

Seriously, I think more people might be wondering who the panelist Melba was. Melba Tolliver, who was a local news reporter in NYC during the 70s. She was in Arlene Francis' seat.

They also cut out the prize for the Who's Who contestants. The mystery guest for the first color WML on Buzzr was Peter Lind Hayes.


I glad that TTTT left the panel intros in.

I think the opening of TTTT would be edited too, if Garry Moore didn’t walk out to tease the first act before introducing the panel.

Does anyone know if the dog that’s sometimes running around at the end of the show belongs to Kitty or Peggy!

Part of me thinks that it would be a Kitty thing, what with her being a matron that would probably do such a thing and that G-T would bend over backwards for her at any opportunity and NBC would play along letting a dog into 30 Rock.

Of course, just watch and someone will find something that that dog had Peggy as a pet parent.

Times had definitely changed by the 70s. Today's TTTT had a spot on drugs and prostitution, which would've never been seen on Collyer's version. Peggy even used the word "pimp." I'm glad that they left the panel intros in, unlike WML.

One ep of WML I hope they air is when Allen Ludden was a panelist and Betty White was the MG. She stumped the panel, including Allen. When it came time to go shake hands, she walks right past Allen and locks into a fake passionate kiss with Soupy. It was a Friday show and Larry B. was the host.

It would be pretty hard to edit out the panel intros on TTTT given how they came a good 1-2 minutes into the show. In fact, the edit between interrogation and voting in Game 1 makes the show drag on a lot longer than intended.

Fun thing is while Buzzr is hacking TTTT and WML to bits, the early Classic Concentration this afternoon kept its ticket plug!

We're changing panelists in mid-week. On TTTT, the guest panelist Monday and Tuesday was Nipsey Russell. Today it was Gene Shalit. On WML, Gene Rayburn was on Monday and Tuesday. Henry Morgan was in his seat today. The announcers were different too. Chet Gould was on Monday and Tuesday. Wayne Howell was today's WML announcer.

Arlene is on WML this week. It just felt odd, to me anyway, that she wasn't on last week when Buzzr started airing it.

You know, I wonder if the second week's final three episodes weren't in airable shape to begin with (by either GSN or Buzzr).  Looking at the WML Wikia episode guide, the last three mystery guests were unaccounted for.

For the past two days, they've show the audience at the end of WML. If you don't blink, you will spot Miss Miller, who used to attend TV shows regularly as an audience member. BTW, according to Wiki, Miss Miller's first name was Lillian. She left us in 1990 at age 93.

They're going to continue to chop up the intros. When WML got the red and yellow set, they speeded up the intros by just announcing the panelists' names and having them walk out. Maybe they'll leave those intros in, if we get that far into WML's run.

Perhaps an exception to the recent rules, the 3pm ET airing of WML on 10/12 featured an uncut opening...First guest was related to one of the first domestic VCRs and the "secret" was they just recorded the intro from that VCR and played it back.

How long did they use the $5-50 cards in the desk before they switched to the # of NO questions left?  Seems like all the Blyden eps I have seen used the countdown cards.

When I saw the opening, I thought for a brief moment "Wow! They're showing the full intro. Buzzr's had a change of heart." But no, the intro was shown because that's what was on the video cassette of the first guest. Oh well, at least we saw it for one show.

Having been to tapings of WML at NBC, I know there were three commercial breaks, one after each guest, or "spot." With Who's Who, they announced what prize those people won (also being cut) and went straight into the MG. During Blyden's run, WML taped mostly in Studio 8H, now home to Saturday Night Live.

Sure enough, we're back to the chopped opening of WML. Soupy Sales is good at guessing the MGs. Today he got Henry Gibson in less than a minute. Friday, he got Jack E. Leonard in about 10 seconds.

TTTT started a new week today (10/15) with guest panelist Orson Bean, who was a regular during the first season of this version. He's wearing glasses, which I never saw him do before, as far as I can remember.

This week's guest panelist on TTTT is Joe Garagiola, who would go on to be the host. The new WML panel which started on Wednesday has Anita Gillette and Jack Cassidy joining Soupy and Arlene.

EDIT - Thursday's guest panelist on TTTT was James Narz, aka Tom Kennedy. IIRC, this was the one time he vas on. Garry introduced him as the host of Split Second. There's a blast from the past.

Today's ep of TTTT featured popcorn guru Orville Redenbacher. Everyone raved about his popcorn, including guest panelist Joe G and Garry. All four panelists voted for 1. Orville was number 3.

Today's ep (10/9) was the stroganoff food show where Garry jokingly tells the panel they're eating dog food. The look on Kitty's face was priceless. She said it tasted good but it was a bad idea. Gene Rayburn was the guest panelist sitting in the chair closest to Garry.

We're back to reruns of TTTT and WML as of 11/12. So we got six weeks worth of shows for each one. They'll probably air these continuously like with the B&W shows.

This week on TTTT we have a guest panelist named Shirley Lord, who was with Vogue magazine. She's filling in for Kitty Carlisle, who apparently got the week off for good behavior.

Hey there. Bumping this thread. I think the past couple of weeks, Buzzr might be showing new eps of TTTT. Last week, the panel was Bill Cullen, Peggy Cass, Nipsey Russell and Anne Meara. This week, we have Gene Rayburn, Peggy Cass, Bill Cullen and Sheyree Henry. Kitty apparently took a couple of weeks off. I don't recall seeing these eps since TTTT started airing in October on Buzzr.

I also saw eps of Tattletales I didn't see before these past couple of weeks. Last week Milton Berle was on with wife Ruth. This week they have George & Alana Hamilton, Charlie Brill & Mitzi McCall, and James Brown and his wife Deidre. You don't see the Godfather of Soul on too many game shows.

A rare occurrence on this morning's TTTT (8/30). On the first spot, Number 1 gave one name while 2 and 3 gave another name. Garry said "Number 1, would you like to reconsider?" It was amusing with Garry  forgetting to read the affadavit, which he did after they came back from the commercial break. Of course, nobody voted for Number 1, since the panel figured he was obviously an imposter.

Hey there. Bumping this thread. I think the past couple of weeks, Buzzr might be showing new eps of TTTT.
These are new episodes, they started on August 5, with episode 1612. Unfortunately, today's the last episode of fresh shows (1651). On Monday they loop back around to episode 1524.

I also saw eps of Tattletales I didn't see before these past couple of weeks.
Again, these started on August 5, with episode 0253. And again, today is the final new-to-us episode, 0283. On Monday they loop back to 0218, from late 1974.

Never saw that one! I hope Buzzr will put it on YouTube. It's interesting how Garry handled it. Something similar happened on an earlier episode where #1 said he was "Tony Goodheart" and the others repeated the same name. Garry said "Okay we have a problem, everyone go back and we're going to do this again." The 3 people went back behind the curtain, then the second time, #1 introduced himself as "Tony Goodstone", then the others followed suit. Despite #1's obvious flub, he got 3 votes!

There was also a Garagiola hosted episode where they had three young kids, and this subject had a hard to pronounce name. Number 1 gave the name, then #2, probably thinking he would botch up the name said "My name's the same as his!" 

Then there was the classic back and white where #1 introduced himself as Mickey Spillane when he was supposed to be Mickey Sullivan. The error was understandable, Mickey Sullivan was an author of detective novels as was Spillane.

In the "Tony Goodhart" case, the spot was saved by the quick thinking of #2, who was the real Tony Goodstone to just follow #1's goof and then #3 followed suit as well.      There was clearly no suc similar quick thinking in the other two spots.
