Game Show "Personality" - 1969

[@joeykardos7602]

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

[@ericsamuelson5656]

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

[@christopherangel6690]

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

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

A very rare 1969 game show!!

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

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

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

[@docadams7099]

wrong network too.

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.

The "Three On A Match" theme by Bob Cobert.

Link to theme?

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.
