On October 15th, GSN's going to air two color episodes, including I've Got a Secret and Beat the Clock, featuring Louis Nye. From my site, here are the episode...
3AM- I've Got a Secret (Host: Steve Allen)- 1964 (Color)- Bess Myerson, Betsy Palmer, Bill Cullen, and Henry Morgan
3:30AM- Beat the Clock (Host: Jack Narz)- 1972 (Color)- Louis Nye will be a celebrity panelist
-
Well those are both...interesting selections...when was the last time we saw color IGAS?

Has GSN shown the 60s-era IGAS in color before? I had always thought that the 60s-era IGAS only existed in kinescope format.
EDIT: I guess Mark and I have the same inquiring mind (and that could be illegal in seven states).

I don't know if IGAS was even in color back in '64.
Count on a kinescope, folks...

I don't know if IGAS was even in color back in '64.
"I've Got a Secret" first went to color in the fall of 1966, for its final season - as did "What's My Line" and "To Tell the Truth". However, "What's My Line" experimented with a special color episode I believe around 1955. I guess it's possible "IGAS" might have done one too, but GSN's never aired one from that era in color before.
-
I'm about 100% positive that the IGAS listing is a typo.
The ep in question is from 11/23/64, and GSN has shown it previously, sourced from a B&W kinescope. As was mentioned further up in the thread, the show didn't shift to color tape until September of 1966.
Still nice to dream, though...

I think the '72 BTC ep will be an interesting treat. When was the last time GSN aired this?

Not counting the Bob Denver tribute, hasn't it been about 3 or 4 years? I think it was on weekend mornings.

Narz/Wood BtC last held a weekend slot post from April 1998 through sometime in 1999. Whether the Nye ep. aired then I do not know. Last time that version of BtC had a daily berth on the schedule was pre-Dark Period (October 1997).

That slot was all-Gene Wood (and they never got out of his first season, I believe).

I honestly had no idea who Louis Nye was (showing my age, perhaps?) and then I recognized him once I saw a photo.
The only place I remember seeing him was an episode of the Cosby Show in which he played a gentleman who won the Squash Competition that Claire was in.
ObGameShow: Cosby hosted the 1992 "You Bet Your Life".

I've also been told that the Narz set consisted of a blue set with some kind of red on the right with big red and orange dots, the orange cash board and an orange clock, the Wood set had a white wall with multi-colored olympic-esque rings with a blue clock and a red cash board, and uncamark is right about even though the syndicated BtC was seen on the regular basis, ever since October 1997, we only see Jack Narz on very rare occasions.

All you need to know is---
Narz: Blue set, red clock
Wood: White set, blue clock
But still, almost nothing he said has to do with this post [as usual].
On topic, though, I've only heard the name Louis Nye---never seen his work. Looking forward to seeing this.

No color episode tonight of IGAS. Its a B&W Kinescope.

Louis Nye had a role on The Beverly Hillbillies as Sonny Drysdale (the Drysdale's son -- duh!). As TBH is probably being rerun somewhere in the world at this very moment, if you catch the right episode(s) you'll catch Louis Nye.

GSN press releases aren't always accurate. I have a feeling the average fan here knows more about game shows than GSN publicists.

He was for sure in the first season. just picked up a 10 episode 2-sided Public Domain DVD set of Hillbillies Episodes for a dollar recently,,He was Elly May's Beau in some of the shows:All first season episodes. I think he may have been in some color episodes later on.

Or, in this case, Mr. GSN Expert. How can you not know that no episode of IGAS was ever preserved in color?
-
It's very easy to determine if an IGaS was in color. CBS did not start telecasting IGaS in color until the fall of 1966. Anything before that was telecast in B&W, so I would consider it a sure bet that it was not preserved in color. Even the kinescopes GSN has for the last color season are in B&W. Had the Nye show been from 66 or 67, I would say it would be possible, but prior to that there was no way it would have been in color.

Jimmy:
I think Dave was actually pointing out that it's impossible to say with **100% certainty** that there are no color IGAS tapes preserved anywhere, even if they're just sitting on a forgotten shelf somewhere... and I do have to agree with him. The one thing I've learned about archiving is that you really never know where or when something's going to turn up.
For instance, one might just as well have made the assumption that there is no way that any of the Garry Moore IGAS episodes still exist on videotape-- after all, we've never seen one on GSN. However, you'd end up being very sorry if you took that bet, as I'm pleased to announce that at least one classic episode of the program has now been located in its original format. And to top it off, it's even a good show!!
So, there's always hope.

Not to belabor the point, but I am speaking specifically about a 1964 Louis Nye guest appearance on IGaS in color. I don't think we'll find that one if we searched all the salt mines of Kansas, and if I know that then GSN should know that before putting out inaccurate press releases that make the journalists that report the news appear to be in error.
If I had press credentials, I would have picked up the phone and asked the GSN representative why this particular 1964 IGaS happened to be in color, was it colorized or perhaps a prototype for a future color edition? CBS had to see the writing on the wall regarding broadcasting in color and maybe was doing some test shows. A color IGaS from '64 would be big news in itself. Then again perhaps, the original assumption was correct and it never was in color, and I would have asked if that were the case as well.

When has GSN ever been known for being accurate? Their message boards are the perfect example of this--usually "news" such as a tribute is not stickied; nor given any special attention.
But others have brought this to their attention--accuracy be damned.
