Lovely! Well done!

Someone on a Facebook group is trying to find his episode, so collectors assemble!

He recorded on May 10, 1973 with a celebrity panel of Sales, Melba Tolliver, Alan Alda and Francis.  Mystery guests that week were Dr Joyce Brothers, Benny Goodman, Myrna Loy, Baroness Nina Van Pallandt (??) and E.G. Marshall.  We don't know yet which of the five he appeared on, but it was probably early in the week because he was out of there by 1pm.  His name is Wayne Kouf, and he has a photograph of him sitting with another woman at the contestant desk.  He did not identify the other woman.

So he could have given us more, but this might be enough to go on.  Pretty sure GSN ran that week back in the day, so if any of you completists might have it, please let me know privately.

Hat tip to Scott.  I am the new owner of that Beat the Clock cel.

Nice.  There appears to be a second one of just the clock, in case somebody else wants to score a rare item.

I did a look-see to see if it was still available this morning.  Alas, someone snagged the second cel a day after my purchase.  I hope it was someone in here.

The colors are so vivid, compared to the final product that made it to air in 1979, whether that was due to the technological limitations of the time, how the animation was recorded, or some other factor(s).  I also like it is the frame immediately before the beating of the clock, when man with mallet has the weapon fully cocked back.

I know nothing about this show, but there's something surreal about the idea of someone in 1959 pitching a revival of something.
