You Don't Say! NBC Daytime (4/25/63) w/Mary Tyler Moore and Keenan Wynn

[@chriscichan1071]

I won a set of encyclopedia on this show in the mid 60’s. I ran home from junior high to hear my name announced.

[@RicciBilotta]

I was a baby when this aired, but vaguely remember the ‘69 episodes. I love how this comes with the original commercials and station promos. Like taking a short trip back in time. Thank you for putting this up

[@chalfont2495]

Thanks for bringing back after elementary school, at 3:30 PM, memories.

[@allenjones3130]

I remember the ABC version of 'You Don't Say!' that aired in the 70s. Tom Kennedy hosted again, and one of the celebrity guests was singer/actress Conny Van Dyke, who had Tom in stitches when she waved hello to the studio audience with her lovely stockinged foot!🎉

[@bealestcat]

I have such good memories of my mother watching these old game shows in the afternoon. This is so great. Also, the commercials are fun. All daytime commercials were written for housewives that were watching tv in the afternoon.

[@kirkmorgan-austin1187]

Great seeing another You Don't Say! Rip Tom

[@gnirolnamlerf593]

Loved this show in this format as a kid. I think I had the home version, but you didn't really need a boxed game to play, just a list of famous names that you made up for the other players. If you had five people, you could rotate moderators and have lots of fun. I remember doing Sand+ Tack+ Laws. Mind you, I'm trying to remember back nearly 60 years. Thank you for finding and posting these.

[@gregfrank4115]

I remember playing the home version, and putting clues together, HA-WA-EE, focused on the WA-EE, and guessed Milwaukee. Cracked everyone up, I was all but saying the right word Hawaii!

One of my daytime shows when I was a child

[@missltonay]

dying to see the next day's episode with the 4 of them again!

[@pgh45rpms]

Tom Kennedy was the younger brother of game show host Jack Narz. Tom's birth name was James Narz. On one episode of "You Don't Say," the celebrity contestants were June Lockhart and Tom's brother Jack..And game show host Bill Cullen was brother-in-law to the Narz brothers.

[@michaelwascom62]

Interestingly, (this is true -- no fake news!), I watched (on NBC TV) the debut episode of "You Don't Say". I do not remember the exact date, but it was early-to-mid 1963. I can distinctly recall the year because John F. Kennedy was President, and being a kid who was nine going on ten, I immediately assumed Tom Kennedy was the President's brother! [I still had a lot to learn.] I always loved this show --- especially its original incarnation. It aired at 2:30 pm (CST), and was followed by (the original version of) "The Match Game", hosted by Gene Rayburn.

[@daleschneider7689]

I was ten years old when this was broadcast. I wish there were more episodes.

[@philiprichards2010]

May God bless Tom Kennedy.

[@Juliaflo]

One of my favorite game shows of the time, hosted by Tom Kennedy--the younger brother of Jack Narz (Jack kept the family name--Tom Kennedy's real name was James Narz).

[@johnfahey8817]

I just loved this show

[@penpusher]

It's boggling by our standards now that they gave out the full name and address of the person who sent in the bonus puzzle on National Television! Truly a different time.

[@epaddon]

At this point, Tom's podium was in between the two celeb teams just like Allen Ludden on Password. As part of the agreement to get Mark Goodson to drop his suit against Ralph Andrews over allegedly "stealing" the format, Tom's podium was moved to the side.

[@balboa77]

I was hoping someone else would notice.

[@richardevans130]

I was born in 1961 and was a heavy daytime TV watcher, but this was a little before my time, in a way. Mary Tyler Moore did not make too many game show appearances, so it's nice to see her here. I think after this time period Mary did not make ANY OTHER game show appearances.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

She was on Password in 1971 and Password Plus in 1979

[@RicciBilotta]

I was born the same year. I remember the show more from ‘69, 4pm WBZ TV Boston. On shortly after school

[@paulgrimaldi1751]

She was on Password Plus around 1980.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

From back in the day when they'd read the home addresses aloud of the viewer who sent in the Bonus Round puzzle. They wouldn't dare do such a thing today.

[@raynardabraham7831]

Wow, I did not know that they were using that version of the NBC Peacock in 1963, I thought that they began using it about 1965. I learn something new every day.

[@brenttravis4665]

That version was referred to as the "Laramie Peacock" because it was first used at the opening of Laramie in 1962. The original "cymbal" Peacock intro ran from 1957 to 1962.

[@fromthesidelines]

This was originally telecast on April 23, 1963, as "THE DICK POWELL THEATRE" presented its only color episode that evening- "The Old Man and the City" (it doubled as a pilot for a proposed series, "ADAMSBURG, U.S.A.", which NBC passed on)- mentioned at 28:19.

[@jehobden]

Thanks for posting this. I'd never seen this episode before now.

[@mamoosh4478]

RIP Tom Kennedy ❤

[@jehobden]

I hope you have access to more of these. Once I saw a clip of Dorothy Dandridge playing this game from the week of Mar. 30-Apr. 3, 1964, so it may exist somewhere. As far as I know, only the episodes of Mar. 29 1967 & July 23, 1969 still exist on color videotape.

[@christopherdunne7848]

Good luck on that. So many shows like this were erased or wiped, due to the expense of videotaping back then. Sad too.

[@davidmorris6443]

During the 1950s and 60s most of these celebrities used to be under Studio contracts and some of these major Motion Picture Studio their contracts was torn and they had to find some other means of work television was the biggest thing in the 1950s or 60s some of them do television series if they're lucky or guest appearances or in this case game shows game shows TV shows and game shows save their careers

[@joeykardos7602]

When this show began, Tom Kennedy's podium was in the middle, exactly like "Password". Mark Goodson was very displeased with it, and threatened to sue the producers of the NBC show. So, Kennedy's lecturn ended up being moved over to the far left of the desk.

[@markschildberg1667]

It was a frivolous suit. You can’t copyright the placement of a lectern or the concept of a celebrity-civilian team. There is no real similarity between the games.

[@gwenniegirl50]

I never knew about this game show. There wasn’t an NBC affiliate station near enough to where I lived to get reception. (This was before cable was available)

[@JJJBRICE]

MTM was lovely in her youth .

[@christopherdunne7848]

Thanks for the upload! First time seeing this. I suppose they were still feeling their way around here. Those Bonus Board names, especially the first one, weren’t really close to the real name; liberties were given then, I guess.

[@fromthesidelines]

As seen weekdays at 3:30pm(et).

16:25 These were much more innocent times!

Who Was Really The NBC Closing ID Announcer Who Intoned Produced In Color In Association With The NBC Television Network,

[@fromthesidelines]

FRED COLLINS.

[@franksantore2810]

Barry I Graumann: Mr TV Trivia, did you ever find out the answer to the question of who intoned " NBC Television," on the tag end of the kines in the late 40s and early 50s (when the network would insert the block "NBC" in a rounded rectangle)?

[@MIKECNW]

If this was in color then why do we have this in B&W?

[@markschildberg1667]

It’s a kinescope shot on black and white film. NBC regularly erased its color videotapes for reuse.

[@jamesqualls8125]

The laughing hyena award goes to this video, where everyone didn't mention Myrna Loy.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@williamdunphy352]

Jay Stewart is the announcer.

[@fromthesidelines]

When he became Monty Hall's annoncer (and sidekick) on "LET'S MAKE A DEAL" at the end of 1963, John Harlan succeeded him.

[@williamdunphy352]

@@fromthesidelines John Harlan's career lasted more than 4 decades.

[@fromthesidelines]

Indeed! At the time he took over the announcer's mike on "YOU DON'T SAY!", he was also the announcer for "THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW" on CBS.

28:48- "See 'THE DICK POWELL THEATRE', with JUNE ALLYSON as your hostess, and guest star CHAR;ES BICKFORD- tonight at 9:30/8:30 Central Time, IN COLOR.....on NBC!"

[@fromthesidelines]

27:24- "THE DICK POWELL THEATRE" (formerly "THE DICK POWELL SHOW") carried on without him after his death from cancer at the beginning of January 1963. Guest hosts- close friends of Powell's, including his partners in Four Star Television, Charles Boyer and David Niven- filled in for him....but those giant soundstage doors never opened again- and the series was cancelled at the end of the season.

[@JJJBRICE]

Four Star was a prominent TV producer during the late 1950s early 1960s period when the one time youthful crooner of those 1930s musicals turned into producer . However once DP died FS slowly ceased becoming a past player . His protage Aaron Spelling with his production team developed fully after Powel's death .

[@fromthesidelines]

And Spelling left Four Star in 1966- after "HONEY WEST" and "THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS SHOW" were cancelled- because, in his words, "some idiot decided to wipe Dick Powell's name off the masthead.". Aaron was also at odds with studio president Tom McDermott over the direction of "BURKE'S LAW"; he didn't want to convert Amos Burke into an international spy, but the studio and ABC insisted (as they wanted to schedule a "spy show", as NBC and CBS did, in 1965). Despite his prediction of what could happen, Spelling was proven right when "AMOS BURKE-SECRET AGENT" was cancelled after 17 episodes in 1966 [the network scheduled that opposite NBC's "I SPY"]. He then teamed up with Danny Thomas to form his own production company.

This is like an easier version of Password

[@markschildberg1667]

It’s nothing like Password. Password is a game of word association. You Don’t Say is a game of sound-alikes.
