Title: Miked Mill Arounds
Post by: Jimmy Owen on September 16, 2004, 10:48:35 AM

Ian has a good thread about closings where there is no applause.  I'd like to ask if anyone remembers those mill-arounds at the ends of the shows where you could hear what the people were talking about.  Bill Cullen's Pyramid was one that you could hear everything, applause, music and the celebrities chatter as the credits rolled (usually to the end of the theme)  Generally the conversation was on the game just completed, but occassionally there would be small talk.

Sometimes on the syndicated "What's My Line" you could hear what was being said at the end.

To that list add Password Plus and Wheel Of Fortune, when WOF was on NBC.

 Some PAX episodes of SUpermarket Sweep would allow us to hear what David and the contestants were saying as they walked over to the item not found in an unwon bonus round when time ran out. After they walked to the item, the music got a bit louder and the applause started
