you got a raffle-style ticket when you entered the studio and the announcer drew one out of a bowl at the end of the taping. I missed getting a refrigerator by one number at a Body Language taping

I always liked the show and I prefer the 70s version over the '80s, for such things as staging, theme music, choices of celebrity couples, etc.

They had a good set of regulars, who were all enjoyable and clearly enjoyed the game (Charlie Brill & Mitzi McCall, Patty Deutsch and Donald Ross, Scoey and Claire Mitchlll, etc.) but they were able to get celebrities who didn't seem to turn up on other shows very often, like Cathy Rigby, or Monty Hall. It's a charming show.

Speaking of Mitzi and Charlie, yesterday was their 60th wedding anniversary.

I wish I could share the love for Tattletales, but it just seems so mediocre to me, I'm afraid.. I was watching the episodes over the weekend on Buzzr, and not even Match Game regular Richard Dawson in his prime could save this show from being a turkey.
It just tries too hard to be funny, to push the envelope like Match Game, and it doesn't work. It's the host, the writing, the format. The original format, from the first 16 weeks, was a little more zany. The second format, with all multiple choice quickies, is rarely as funny. And the questions are so poorly written sometimes, so obvious and/or embarrassing and/or unfunny, you feel for the celebs to have to deal with them.
