Guests there:  Robert Q Lewis, Betty White and Linda Kaye Henning.  I don't recognize the celeb between the ladies.

The two to the right of Betty are Leslie Nielsen and Abbe Lane.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

George Peppard?

(Edit: Matt O's response is probably the correct one.)

Mine would be the first five years of the 1980s NBC $ale of the Century (the period between mid-July 1988 and the end in March 1989 + the 1 1/2 season-long syndie version notwithstanding), in addition to 1977's Second Chance, the proto-Press Your Luck.

To add one more - an episode of You're Putting Me On.

The pilot is available for viewing at the Paley Center (I watched it years ago).  It's the right set, but a desperately wrong host (Broadway vet Ron Husmann).  But yeah, that would be a great one.

And while I should be happy that seven episodes of Three on a Match are out there, including five specifically due to my own efforts, I'll never not want more.

Yes and-ing Matt, I will never not want to see the premiere of “Three on a Match.” I so want to hear how that game was explained for the first time.

Also, all the Kennedy “Split Second”s, please, universe.

I'd love to see some of the aforementioned shows myself, but also get them to the people who actually worked on them back in the day. Most of these have been assumed lost for years; you've got to think they'd be thrilled to see some of their work.

When our only series-run episode of The Moneymaze appeared five years ago, I made sure to send the YouTube link to director Arthur Forrest -- who was absolutely delighted. (Probably because his daughter's birth was announced at the top of the show.)
