How neat to hear from a relative of the contestants. I'm surprised that the panel showed restraint and never mentioned her height - I don't know about Robert Q but John and Bennett were both around 6'1" and she was taller than them. Often that would bring about a lot of jokes but I like that they left it alone. :)

Because I had to look it up: Bennett's reference to Three-Ring Pete at 1:55 or so seems to actually be to Ballantine Beer ads. Most of the ads rely on the the 3 rings of the logo, and how it means Purity, Body, and Flavor, and I can't actually find any that have Three-Ring Pete as the logo from the 50s, but there's a 1971 ad that refers to it in a nostalgic kind of way. /Why/ Bennett is referring to Daly as a beer advertisement is less clear to me. Other than, 'It's Bennett, ours is not to reason why.' The first ad has the reference. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3TQZIh7m7eErJI

TerriJo Massey -- They had air conditioning in the 1950's. It had been around for quite a while by then. People who didn't have it at home often went to see a movie in a theater that advertised prominently "Cooled by Refrigeration" during the summer months. I think they must have had it in the studio -- the heat from the studio lighting grid alone was horrible and A/C was necessary due to that alone. Also, I don't see sweat rolling down anyone's face on the panel or at the moderator's desk.

***** -- Yes, quite possibly the A/C system in place was simply inadequate to the task, especially with the lighting grid, which would have generated a huge amount of heat. But air conditioning in the 1950's was definitely capable of dealing with the situation. In fact, movie theaters used to put up huge banners on the side of the building or adjacent to the marquee advertising "COOLED BY REFRIGERATION" in the summer months -- it was a great inducement to get people to come and see a movie during periods of hot weather -- even hot and humid weather. Pay the cost of admission to see the movie and if it was a double feature, you got four or five hours of comfort not available at home to many people.

Teri Anne Beauchamp yes, she was a music professor. She did play piccolo but played and taught flute much more often.

The piccolo segment was oddly chaotic: Arlene, referring to the weather, "Are the elements that have to do with your job above the ground?" , also seeming out if it when she got a yes. Lewis really incoherent for a while. And what on earth was Bennett talking about at the end of the segment? it was a very hot night and I think that had drained much of the usual wit from the panel.

I was really worried when Suzy gave out that handy piece of info about the Southern accent rather early. Bit surprising that she still managed to stump the panel.

I've noticed on many occasions that John and Bennett both pronounce "Broadway" with the accent on the second syllable. John does it here at 24:08. Wonder if that was the typical New York pronunciation in those days?

Per Alexa, Ms. Parker told an untruth. She said her southern accent was genuine. But ASlexa sas she was born in NY and raised in PA.

I always wondered why they couldn’t hide the mystery guest behind a curtain instead of wearing the masks, why understanding the scoring wasn’t worked out ahead of time, why Mr. Daily didn’t get the name and hometown information before hand and why the prize money was so low……but I guess all these elements awkward as they may seem by today’s standards add to its charm as a classic game show…..I agree with others Suzy Parker is beautiful and her look is years ahead of her time.

I think the masks were because if the guest were behind a curtain, they would lose the audience "participation". The prize money seems low to us, but when the show started, $50 could have been a mortgage payment. As for explaining the rules on stage, it was probably for the sake of transparency. The contestant couldn't say they didn't understand if they were explained on camera in front of an audience.

Actually the money then would be 10 times that amount today. So every $5 is worth $50 today-the top prize of $50 is worth $500 today. $500 isn’t bad I think.

Many of these suggestions were not implemented because television production was in its pre-adolescent years and hadn’t been existent long enough to have reached the level of sophistication expected by contemporary audiences. That said, blindfolds alter the dynamics of the panel more than a screen would; Daly inquiring about knowledge of scorekeeping was more for the audience than the contestants; answering hometown and similarly easy questions calms the contestants; and low prize money even when multiplied by 8 as adjustment for inflation, wasn’t the primary motivation for the game. This episode the primary motivation for half the audience was to gaze at Suzy Parker, but even in her absence there was Arlene.

For those interested in the Moore-Yvon Durelle fight mentioned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joXXq5-qfrBlpMk For the weak at heart, skip it! Moore is unconscious for most of round 1 & in modern times the fight would have been stopped then. As all championship fights were then, it was scheduled for 15 rounds...
