Game Show "Personality" - 1969

[@joeykardos7602]

Great NBC game show from my Golden Age! I remember watching this gem back in the late 1960s!

[@christopherangel6690]

I would love to get a clean copy of this theme. Same used on Three on A Match

[@ericsamuelson5656]

This was also the theme song to Bill Cullen's 3 on a Match aired on this same network

The swiveling chairs were distracting when I watched this show as a kid, and they still are.

21:42 - This has been a Filmways Television Presentation, darling! (Whoops! Wrong show!)

[@docadams7099]

@@docadams7099, does it matter about the network?😉

Recorded at NBC Rockefeller NY Studios. The Burbank recorded shows had the whistling sound effects at this time.

I have never seen Joan Rivers and liked what I saw.

Bill Wendell as announcer?

[@kevinfitzmaurice4072]

Yes.

[@jehobden]

This originally aired 50 years ago today, July 29, 1969, on NBC.

@CleonMarkBrown The episode before this (where Jack wore the jacket that Larry wore in this episode) is also posted here. I understand that another episode from March 1969 may have also survived, but I've never seen that one myself.

Why networks would even wipe game shows from the 60’s and 70’s?

[@fromthesidelines]

To reuse the tape stock, that's why. They considered game shows and soaps "disposable" (as they were only telecast *once)-* and videotape was expensive, and they didn't have the space to store everything they recorded.......so the tapes were usuallly "wiped" after a short period of temporary storage.

[@fromthesidelines]

To give you a sad example, NBC kept the original video masters of "THE SHARI LEWIS SHOW" (1960-'63) for several years. Then, they "wiped" them for use in recording the 1964 political conventions. Same situation with "HULLABALOO" (1965-'66); they kept the original videotapes in their Ft. Lee warehouse, then started "wiping" them for reuse in 1973. Only *three* video masters from season two were preserved: the entire series exists on black and white kinescope film.

[@Neville60001]

@@fromthesidelines, not only that, tapes were large things, nothing like the video cassette tapes used in the 1970's,1980's and 1990's, so they were reused over and over again due to lack of space.
