Joseph P. McAvoy is my maternal great-grandfather. He passed away in 1981, many years after this aired. I didn’t even guess right the first time I saw this smh

Kitty Carlisle was a real doll.

When I lived in Indiana many years ago, my parents came to visit and she went to Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Restaurant. Dick Clark & his wife were there that day and they invited her to have lunch with them. I believe she has a photo somewhere of her and Dick & his wife.

The panel came on strong. Polly must have read these comments concerning how she votes. It was great seeing Dick Clark. Zorro is a great character. The TV Zorro who was Guy Williams was also John Robinson from Lost in Space. Thanks for the video.

Surely Polly Bergeb could not have been as big a twit as she always presented herself on panel shows; tried to be funny and just was not.

[@rigobertoordonez5953]

Amazing memories, I love this show and the beautiful of the girls of the panelists. I love Polly in good memory.

Mt Vernon is 65 miles from New Haven. The Trip takes over 2 hours by train. #! said they were 23 minutes apart #2 said 19 minutes.-- so it's a mystery to me why Dick Clark didn't vote for #3 -- since he asked the question about travel time between the two cities. Also, the Official name of the building is Grand Central TERMINAL, not Grand Station Station. The previous building was Gran Central Station, because tracks extended below 42nd Street.

#1 in the last game must have been America's oldest stockbroker......ha ha ha.

[@rmelin13231]

While I did like Zorro, I preferred McCulley's anti-hero The Black Star even more. Such a unique character.

[@kristabrewer9363]

I still don't hate Polly is VERY annoying! She was on an episode of What's My Line "last night" and someone said she always played the dumb one on To Tell the Truth. To say that she PLAYED dumb insinuated that Bud knew all about it, and on some of these episodes, Bud seemed like he was JUST as annoyed with her for her drawn out explanations!

[@kenbrown438]

Polly is the most interesting person on the show !!!!

[@vickihshallenberger3644]

I have always found Polly to be very annoying. Apologies to her family may she rest in peace

[@kenbrown438]

Bud is always questioning !!!!

[@pcaetano7527]

Johnston McCulley just rewrote John Rollin Ridge's Joaquín Murieta character that is just based on the real person known as Tiburcio Vásquez.

[@chasethrockmorton2736]

I'm used to seeing Dick Clark as an old man.

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

@@bangersmash1566 Where did you learn proper English??? I've watched Dick Clark since my high school years in the early 1960s . He appeared on an episode of "Perry Mason" , then did the "Pyramid " shows , and the New Year's shows . Didn't you see any of those??? In a few years people will not remember you as young. y

[@jackbusby9602]

In the third round, I got the right guy because Dick Clark asked who was Zorro's deaf-mute friend and number 3 said, "Bernardo". HOWEVER, Bernardo was indeed mute, but he was not deaf. He only pretended to be deaf so people would talk around him and he could report back to Zorro/Don Diego what he heard.

[@bettymiller1929]

hot

[@rmelin13231]

Very good observation.

[@stephenmaniloff8493]

Poor mistake....The amazing place is properly called Grand Central Terminal...

[@edwardvogel9094]

Perhaps not back then.

[@NicholasMoreau]

Dick Clark asks about which railroad John D. Loudermilk was president, if I heard correctly. For the record, that's the real name of singer "Johnny Dee", who was on the hit parade in the late 1950s.

[@rmelin13231]

John D. Loudermilk was also an accomplished songwriter. Author of "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye", among many others.

[@519djw6]

Did Geritol take any kind of "hit" because of its involvement with the quiz show scandal associated with "21," of which it was the sponsor.? From the way that they're still touting this elixir on TTTT, it seems that they got away with it unscathed.

[@Gravydog316]

Zorros creator died about 3 months after this aired.

[@jonnelson6446]

Two months later, on November 23.

[@edwardvogel9094]

Can I use a telephone on the train? Well, can I or not???!!!!

[@alskndlaskndal]

Mention of Bennett Cerf in the Miss America round. :-)

[@kristabrewer9363]

He was mentioned on an earlier episode to by a contestant as the Publisher of Random House

[@janeiwasduncan8463]

Anyone know who became Miss America?????

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

@@janeiwasduncan8463 Mary Ann Mobley, who became an actress, was the winner. The second runner up was Anita Bryant, who became a well known singer.

[@markstevens9249]

Dick Clark on a game show? Where will this lead? ;)
