First, "The Magnificent Marble Machine."

October 20: Jo Anne Worley & Tony Randall

I think we need to rededicate our lives to finding video of Tony Randall grappling with a pinball machine.

Rhyme & Reason's list is more interesting -- there are a ton of celebs who were really on the D-list that recurred, as well as a few who were definitely on the downhill slide (Tennessee Ernie Ford, Gale Storm, Gloria DeHaven, Sammy Shore).

Orson Bean shows up as a recurring celeb -- I thought he might have been on the outs with G-T at the time, but he seems to have still recurred on Match Game as well. And this may be the first game show where Jamie Farr appeared frequently.

The “beeee-oooop” for wrong answers on Trivia Trap and TPIR’s Pathfinder.

My suggestion would be to play two shortened complete games. Three contestants play the first game. The high scoring player stays on stage while three new players play another full game - maybe just three questions per round, as the free spins on the board can make up for earning fewer spins to start. The challenge in the second game is to have one of the players top the winner of the first one.

Another thought: three contestants play one round with five or six questions, then three more contestants play one round, then the two best scorers face off in a final higher-stakes round to determine the winner. (No bonus round.)

Now You See It; one of the better "play-along" ones.

Yes! The solo round is one of my favorites, the rest of the show kind of repetitive. I’d have liked to see them give this show the Million-Dollar Password treatment.

Maybe he was penny wise to be generous to his employees and winners, and that he was not cheap in a derogatory sense.

Better to be a Bob Stewart, and actually be able to pay out your winners, than to overpromise and underdeliver like a Catalena.
