The website gets updated in drips and drags these days...so here's the latest drip. Show Notes (http://\"http://www.nmi.uga.edu/people/marshall/tttt/ttttanecdotes.html\") is a section devoted to (at this point) the '69-'78 version. For now, the page recounts mostly lesser-known stories from the series...
Suggestions welcome, as always!

Good stuff, as always...pity GSN's never aired that 1st syndie season of Moore's version, for w/e reason.

I thought GSN once aired the 1969-70 episodes of the Garry Mooore TTTT. I would like to see the Garry Moore/Joe Garagiola TTTT back on GSn soon.

I think many of us would. I also think it's not likely to happen anytime soon, though.

If that was the season with the "mod" set, they did. I have one where Bill Cullen guest-hosted, and Mark Goodson sat on the panel.

It was actually during the 1970-71 season where Bill guest-hosted for 4 weeks.
GSN has indeed never aired the first season. Maybe it's been lost?

When did TTTT switch from the green mod pattern to the blue mod pattern? I do remember some green eps. airing, I'm guessing that would've been the 1970-71 season?

Sure enough, the first Moore season is missing from the catalog. Something else collecting dust in some warehouse or personal collection just waiting to be found...let's hope sooner than later...

The first season of syndicated Beat the Clock seems to have met the same fate. GSN only aired a few months worth of Jack Narz episodes, and they were all the ones from Montreal. The New York season was never aired.

Also, the first Montreal season(1970 season) was never reran either according to David Hammett, because that season never had any ESP elements and it still had its curtains included in the set.

However, the shows seem to be around (or a show), if only because the titles for "Faux Pause" showed an opening with the title slides constantly changing colors (psychedelic, man!), something only done in the New York season and only done on the shows originating from the Little/Helen Hayes Theatre (with the curtains covering up the David Frost set, but not the bench on the stage lip where he would have guests take questions from the audience). Those "psychedelic" colors are something you remember, since Paul Alter also did it during the credits crawl. He must've gotten all junked up at Sardi's next door.

I'll have to go back and watch a tape of it on freeze-frame to pick that out! Good catch. Strange that GSN never aired it though...they usually aired any rarity from the Goodson-Todman library that they could find.
