The Big Board / Re: The original Twenty-One
« Last post by chris319 on Today at 12:45:46 AM »I can't find the Twenty One pilot done for CBS, but it is distinguishable in having the word "SPONSOR" where the word "GERITOL" later appears on the upstage set wall.
If memory serves, it is very similar to the set ultimately used on NBC that we've all seen in kinescopes. The question is, why would they have built the set with the giant picture windows on the isolation booths and the score readouts hanging off of Jack Barry's podium when they could have repurposed the set built for the CBS pilot? Is there a kinescope of the giant set? Was it even used on air? One little clue is that the "giant" set, above, has the word "GERITOL" on it, so they clearly had a sponsor and possibly a network.
Does there exist an episode guide for Twenty One?
Also, in the picture of the "giant" set above, what are the little gizmos sitting on top of the enclosures that house the score readouts?
