Temptation 1968. Game Show on ABC network. Fabulous 1960's fashions and products, even mini skirts.

[@therealbrentrolland]

I truly LOVE this game show. It's a sexy blend of suspense, high stakes, and strategy. Art James feels right at home with this game-one of his smoothest hosting jobs. It's as if James Bond birthed "Would You Rather." I appreciate this crispy, clear copy. Thank you, Moviecraft!

Thanks for watching

[@sleeplessdreamer1814]

Never heard of this and I grew up in that era. But I just watched the whole episode. Thank you for sharing this time capsule with us.

you're welcome!

Alexander Monday "It Takes a Thief" promo ad really shook the old memory bank!

[@RetiredSchoolCook]

😃At the time I was a teenager , never knew about this show . Great to see the cost and prices of long ago 🤣.Thank you 👍

[@MoviecraftInc]

Glad you enjoyed it

That Pepsi-Cola and popcorn machine prize was really life changing. 😄

What an obscurity. Seems like ABC had a bunch of these short run-long forgotten game shows in the 60s.

[@JohnRedshaw]

I would have been at school, in 6th grade. Maybe i saw it during Christmas break.

$6500 in total prizes for this early 1968 episode (a 13-week run, no less) would equal about $60,000 in Nov. 2024 dollars. The credits include Marty Pasetta, who went on to direct many variety shows, specials and concerts, including the controversial "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" on CBS, as well as the pilots for 1970's game shows "Celebrity Sweepstakes" and, more interestingly, "Wheel of Fortune"; Art Alisi, who was a longtime Heatter-Quigley production staffer known for lining up the prizes; and Ernie Buttelman, one of the many technical-staff stalwarts at ABC Prospect Studios in Hollywood. As for Filmation, credited with the animated snake-and-apple title sequence, weren't they the same outfit that also did many fine cartoon shows during the late '60s and early '70s, headed up by Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott?

[@darrylh1971]

20:50 - I didn't know Filmation did the animation for the Heatter-Quigley Temptation 1967-1968 game show title! In 1968 Heatter-Quigley paired with Hanna-Barbera for the Wacky Races cartoon.

I was four years old at the time.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

Now 4 episodes exist

[@martinfelsenfeld6012]

one of them had a contestant from costa mesa!

[@dave3657]

Looks like ideas from this show made it to The Price is Right. The three Curtains, the zonker prize.

I think you meant Let's Make A Deal.

Just 27 years before he hosted Truth Or Date in the middle of a shopping mall...

Beautiful women.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Yes they are

[@davidjames6879]

I grew up in the 60s and have no recollection of this game show. Seems like it's more product advertising than game competition.

[@oldiesgeek454]

I miss Pepsi in the glass bottles.

[@SFNightOwl]

Where is that Global Van Lines promo shot? It looks like Disneyland, but then it doesn't.

[@christopherwelch136]

$6500? Wow! My monthly gas bill.

[@fromthesidelines]

As seen weekdays [in color] at 11am(et). Marlene Sanders and "ABC NEWS {WITH A WOMAN'S TOUCH}" followed at 11:25am.....but it's not featured in this kinescope.

[@MoviecraftInc]

Yes, the kinescope just went to bars and tone right after the Marlene Sanders ABC News announcement.

Dennis would unfortunately host Pay Cards one day.

[@kurttoy5035]

I believe you mean Art. BTW our Pittsburgh ABC affiliate, WTAE, did not carry this game show, unless I'm wrong.

[@psychopathyoutubeemployees280]

No relation to Sale of the Century.

[@michaelfitzpatrick3524]

Wow. This is awful. I watched through the end to see the credits. The game is awful, as are the prizes. Its misogynistic. I vaguely remember the host who is attempting to channel his best Hugh Hefner. He doesn’t move. I don’t think he's actually smoking the cigar. No Jonny O,not in color which suggests its not video tape. A vague interesting relic of 1968.

[@JohnRedshaw]

I can see why the show failed.

[@luisreyes1963]

Guess it wasn't as goofy as The Hollywood Squares.

[@stevengolden9009]

Art James was a great under rated host. I remember watching him on "The Who, What, or Where Game" when I was younger and sadly only 1 episode exists. 😢

[@disneyfan8178]

@@stevengolden9009 And I acquired it what I consider my best game show trade (I also nabbed the what I thought was the only episode of this).

[@christopherwelch136]

I liked it. Love the movement of the set and the cigar.

[@MarkFriedman-qi4cz]

You are right on target with Art James being underrated. Here in New York City he was the host of Say When, It’s academic, and The magnificent marvel machine a show I actually attended in person in Hollywood.. The Who What or Where Game was excellent , though only 25 minutes long due to a five minute newscast at the end. Art had an understated, self deprecating manner and a very good sense of humor. He’s right up there with Bill Cohen .Art had an understated, self deprecating manner and a very good sense of humor. He’s right up there with Bill Cullin And art Fleming as my New York City favorites
