What's My Line? - The Andrews Sisters (Jul 19, 1959)

[@LlaMunkey0109]

The moment the girls said "yep" in unison, there was absolutely no doubt who they were... Their sound is so recognizable, even though they were trying to disguise their voices. Love the Andrews Sisters 💚

I love the Andrews Sisters and I love their songs! They were the voice of an era, back in the day when records were all 78 rpm and if you dropped them on a hard floor they shattered. I think their music helped people improve their mood during the World War II years when things weren't so great for so many. Very nice to see them on WML.

[@sabinebeyer9249]

+ToddSF 94109 I like their music very much and in my opinion there is so much good mood in it, it works now quite as good as it worked way back in the days so very hard in wartime. (this music is much better than most off the stuff that was produced in germany at this time, no wonder, most of the good musicians are forced to leave the contry or are arrested and often killed, horrible time and a cultural suicid, imho)

A rare lapse of tact on John's part at 15:55 when he begins reminiscing about his early career in radio and one of the Andrews Sisters asks "Are you sure it wasn't before our time?" You can see him briefly flustered as he tries to get around the implication that the ladies are old enough to have had a career before his began.

[@loissimmons6558]

It is mentioned that Roy McKercher was a student at San Francisco Polytechnic High School, which was in existence from 1884 until 1973. It may be of interest to Gary (+What's My Line?), who has done yeoman work posting all these episodes and moderating the comments, that George Fenneman is among the famous alumni of that school. Other notable alums include Nobel Prize winning physicist Luis Walter Alvarez, actress Janet Gaynor, jazz saxophonist and composer Paul Desmond (who wrote "Take Five"), George Seifert who coached the 49ers to two Super Bowl victories (although a dismal record in two seasons as head coach of my alma mater, Cornell), Offensive Tackle for the 49ers and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Bob St. Clair, and former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Ironically, Poly was located across the street from the former home of the 49ers, Kezar Stadium, not Seals Stadium where the Giants played in 1958 and 1959.

Once again, Bennett figured out there was more than one person as the mystery guest -- he was really good at that!

[@loissimmons6558]

+ToddSF 94109 I recall that we were born during the same year, so you probably remember when the antennas on top of our TV sets were known as "rabbit ears". Because of his aural acuity, Bennett could well be given the same nickname.

[@ladeegeegenellemajied4688]

I noticed there were grommets (small metal holes) in Bennett Cerf's blindfold, meaning he could see thru it, thus knowing who the mystery guests were. But because this show is set in 1959, I'm surprised the producers of WML didn't catch that. Just an observation 😉😊

[@sdacj]

Bennett was also sitting the closest to where the mystery guest comes in so he may have heard things that the others missed just because of that, in addition to his natural instincts.

[@catrinkad9039]

Since Bennett was closest to the the point where the mystery guests came in, perhaps he was better able to identify the sound of more than one person -- especially the swishing of multiple skirts (due to fashion of that time) or the mixture of multiple perfumes?

[@candicehoneycutt4318]

OMG The Legends Themselves.

[@loissimmons6558]

On July 19, 1959, only a single game between the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh is listed in the official records. The second game being called on account of rain must have occurred before it became an official game. Otherwise, it would have been listed as either a tie game or a suspended game that would have been completed the next time the GIants visited Pittsburgh in August. The Giants completed a full 154 game schedule so no games were lost to weather ultimately. The Giants lost the only game completed that day in Pittsburgh, 3-2. A home run by Bill Virdon in the 8th inning off of Stu Miller was the winning blow. While Miller would become known as one of the best relief pitchers in baseball for the Giants and then the Orioles, he was a spot starter in the early part of his career as what was known as a "junk ball" pitcher (someone whose repertoire did not include a fast ball). Both Miller and Vern Law went the distance that day, as was typical in 1959. In today's game, Miller would have been lifted for a pinch hitter in the 7th and Law most likely would have been pulled for the closer in the 9th. In fact, Law was allowed to pitch out of a jam (runners on second and third with only one out). A base running blunder by Jackie Brandt helped Law get out of trouble. Roy McKercher would have had a long night of travel ahead of him after this episode. After heading the wrong direction from Pittsburgh to NYC to appear on WML, he would need to go all the way to SF for an afternoon game with the Dodgers on 7/20. The GIants would lose that game to the Dodgers, also by a 3-2 score, as well as the next afternoon's game, 1-0, Charlie Neal's 9th inning homer was the game winner as Don Drysdale outdueled Johnny Antonelli in the first game. Gil Hodges contributed a two-run first inning homer to the Dodgers' cause. The Dodgers struck again in the 9th inning the next day on a leadoff single by Neal and a two out double by Hodges, sending Sam Jones to defeat and giving the victory to Roger Craig. The Dodgers sweep of that two game series brought them within a half game of the league leading Giants. The Dodgers would eventually win the NL pennant in 1959 while the Giants fell to third place, 2 games behind. The Giants were still in first place on the morning of 9/19 when the Dodgers came to town once again. This time they took a doubleheader from the Giants to forge a tie with SF (once again Craig and Drysdale were the winning pitchers). The next day they won again to supplant the Giants at the top of the heap. The Giants lost 7 of their last 8 games in their fall from the top perch. Absent that end of season slump, part of the World Series would have been played in tiny Seals Stadium instead of the cavernous Coliseum in L.A. It was the final season for the former minor league park that was the temporary home for the GIants.

[@neilmidkiff]

The panel is puzzled (e.g. Bennett's questioning at 20:00) about a non-profit that's not charitable nor associated with health, education, or religion. But John is right about the category for social clubs. If I remember correctly the section of the IRS code is 501(c)(7); I did the paperwork to file for that status for my grad school dorm's social club about 40 years ago, so that we could get a bank account and write our own checks rather than having to deal with the university's student affairs office every time we wanted to spend our own dues money. Unlike 501(c)(3) non-profits (the usual categories, as Bennett mentioned them), contributions to a social club are not tax-deductible. The regulations on the clubs are to assure that the money is spent for the benefit of all the members; there are no "owners" or "stockholders" who receive dividends or the like, as in a profit-making corporation.

[@karlakor]

It irritates me when a panelist speaks out when it is someone else's turn. The bat boy could have gotten several more "no" answers before Bennett's turn came around, but Bennett gave the game away while Arlene was still questing the guest.

Taking this opportunity to point out something I've observed many times over the last few years while watching WML and that's John Daly's pronunciation of the word "year".

During the game with the bat boy, Bennett did it again. He can't keep his BIG MOUTH shut when it's not his turn. While Arlene is questioning him Bennet just blurts it out. I never understood why the producers of this show always let him get away with that and not put a muzzle on him.

TheMinnieme2011 I think Cerf had the same speech impediment as Barbara Walters. They both sound similar to me.

The contestants are here to win money. Every time Bennett opens his big mouth out of turn he cheats them. His arrogance is more important to him than the contestants. What a jerk.

Arlene Francis pulls out very specific information from broad clues. It make me wonder if any of this is rigged.

[@ladeegeegenellemajied4688]

Knott Reel I wouldn't be surprised. There were several game shows from the 50s that were indeed rigged or the contestant cheated somehow. I forgot which ones they were, but u can do a Google search under '50s game show scandal' and it will more than likely pull up which game shows they were. Also, I noticed that Bennett Cerf's blindfold had grommets (little metal holes used by seamstresses or tailors) connecting the elastic strings on his blindfold, meaning he could probably see the Andrews Sisters when they came onstage. I'm surprised the producers didn't catch that mistake before giving the blindfolds to the panel. Just some observations 😉😊

You gotta admit those Andrews sisters looked like men in drag.
