Game Shows at the Library of Congress
TimK2003:
Over 30-some years ago I spent a few days in Chicago and visited the Museum of Broadcasting, somewhere in The Loop.
That was my first experience with viewing older game shows.
Are they still around? And are they affiliated with the Library of Congress, the Paley Center or another group elsewhere in the country?

They're still there (at a new building since then) but their viewing room to the best of my knowledge is no longer open.

Based on this, it would appear that the Museum of Broadcast Communications has no formal connection with the LoC, the Paley Center, or the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

Pls clarify - which collection are these in?

1/2/63 LC Arlene Francis, Skitch Henderson
6/24/63 LC Florence Henderson, Henry Morgan
8/20/63 LC Faye Emerson, Henry Morgan
11/21/63 LC BW, Shelley Berman
5/19/65 LC Lauren Bacall, Roger Smith
6/2/65 LC Joe Garagiola, Whitey Ford
9/23/65 LC Jayne Meadows, Sydney Chaplin

Back in 2003 or so, I made an appointment at the Library of Congress and saw the 1/2/63 and 6/24/63 episodes of Match Game!
It's too bad no one at Buzzr is a fan of the 60s Match Game. These episodes would have been great for one of the Lost and Found marathons! Buzzr did air a rare 60s Password episode from the Library of Congress in 2021.
