Get the Message

[@ericsamuelson5656]

This is one of the most underrated games Goodson/Todman ever created. I have the Milton Bradley board game of this show. You can even play the Open Game with 3 answers in a row with 2 verbal one word clues with $50 bills. This episode aired Wednesday May 7, 1964 because Frank Buxton mentioned Jane Withers is a guest on Missing Links.

Frank Buxton went on to be a sitcom writer for a period of time; one of the things he wrote was the Password episode of The Odd Couple.

[@Rlotpir1972]

The executive producer of this show (Robert Noah) also worked for Heatter/Quibley Productions (High Rollers) and later Reg Grundy Productions (Sale of the Century and Scrabble).

Frank Buxton was the host of the ABC children's educational show "Discovery" usually seen on Sunday mornings.

8:32. "Nonimbibememt"! What a stroke of genius!

[@revueguy]

Trailmaster was the syndicated title for Wagon Train in reruns back then in the 1960s on ABC.

02:41 - 02:51 Now, try to keep an open mind and remember, this is a family show!

[@9094nancyj]

Those Campbell Soup Scottish kids are cute!

[@pbatommy]

And the Call My Bluff bell, and the Snap Judgement bell!

[@QBCNetwork]

Also the Jeopardy! Daily Double bell from the ARt Fleming days.

Fun show. Only about 3 episodes of this show exist. The rest were destroyed. Too bad. I would have liked to have watched them. I never heard of this show until now.

[@SMCalif1956]

Frank Buxton was the voice of Batfink in 1966.

One of the other episodes has a different bonus game, In that one the team plays 3 messages, the contestant gave 1 word clues one at a time. If the celeb can get it on 1 clue it's worth $100, 2nd clue $50, 3rd clue $25, 4th clue $10. Glad they changed it, it ate up too much time and it was too hard.

OMG a young young Nancy Doussalt!!

[@facebook51ify]

berwyn58 Nancy was one of the co-host of good morning America.

[@pbatommy]

I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

[@QBCNetwork]

You should also sing the Swingin Safari song.

[@superdo322]

what is the airdate of this episode of get the message

[@QBCNetwork]

The Match Game bell!

[@pbatommy]

Except here, it's the La Di Da song by the Village Stompers.

[@jaketanner7496]

Wish I had read your reply 7 years ago!

[@pbatommy]

And in my home, the land on Free Parking bell when I play Monopoly! lmfao

[@MrMarcellolsilva]

In a way this show kinda resembles “Password”

[@psychnurse964]

This show IS Password!

[@marcpower4167]

It's a password variant.

[@ZACHERYalderton-s3h]

What are the rules

[@altfactor]

Didn't production of "Get The Message" move to Los Angeles in 1964 and Dick Clark (who had recently moved there from Philadelphia) take over as host?

[@pbatommy]

No--Goodson Todman was resisting any permanent moves of any of their shows until 1971, when they agree to move Password permanently to LA.

[@thedriver4038]

Should read agreed.

[@bobthetvfan]

Dick Clark did take over as host of "Missing Links," which followed "Get the Message," when it moved from NBC to ABC. Original "Links" host Ed McMahon was contracted to "The Tonight Show" and couldn't move with the game show to another network. Clark commuted from LA to NY to tape "Links," just as he did with "Pyramid" in the '70s.
