I've Got A Secret - 1972 (2) 

RD upside down? Love it! 😂

Recently bought a BINATONE pong game from about 1976. Works perfectly. In colour, with small bats, each farther apart. It has sound effects and automatically keeps the score at the top of the screen. Only problem - it would only work on particular models of old CRT 4:3 televisions. Bought three before I got one which was compatible. Now the whole family plays on it. Great fun.

Rod Serling- the voice behind the Jaques Cousteau documentaries 🙂

The style of the set, it's color theme, and the band music are so groovy! Wish this classic show would have continued longer than one season.

Aw.. pong. How quaint.

Airdate: December 25, 1972

This was the year Pong was invented! If only Rod had lived to see the advance of the video game industry.

AH Pong! Listen to the audience totally loving it. As far as we knew back then, that was the best we were ever gonna get! The future was here!

Excellent! Thanks for uploading these episodes from 1972. I can't locate my episodes on VHS tape so it is great to see them again.

Ah, the Magnavox Odyssey, it's amazing how much video games have evolved in 40 years.

WOW the ping pong game brings back wonderful memories. In pubs the machines, with screen, were about 5 feet tall or there was a home one to play on your tv. Best game ever! In the uk I think it was called Atari Ping Pong. You could select different sized bats and different speeds. It was brilliant!

Rod Serling’s ventriloquism act is almost there, just wants a little bit more practice as I could still see his lips moving a little.

The sixth and final show taped at the Sullivan marked not only Goodson-Todman's exit from New York so far as network game shows were concerned, but marked both the return to and final departure from New York of announcer Johnny Olson.("From the CBS Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City, it's 'I've Got a Secret!'")

I remember playing Odyssey. The original electronic game.

Could anyone seriously tell me what Nanette Fabray says through sign language?

This was the first version of "IGAS" to originate from Hollywood and the first without longtime producer Gil Fates at the helm. It also marked the return of "IGAS" to the Goodson-Todman fold, having been spun off to CBS and Fates' Telemedia Enterprises in the early 1960's.. It returned to New York in 1976 as a summer replacement with Bill Cullen as host and Gil Fates back as producer for Goodson-Todman for 6 episodes, The first 5 were taped at the Broadcast Center, the last at the Ed Sullivan.

I didn't know the "Twilight" guy actually spoke like he did on the tv show.

So they had to guess she was an upsidedown tap dancer. but she wasn’t doing any tap dancing! Seems like they had an impossible task.

dawson was pretty prescient. tv show watching has been dramatically cut down because people are playing on the computer.

Pong!

0:02-0:04 The hell was that noise?

Funny that Dawson mentions "Hogan's Heroes" at the end...Rod Serling openly and frequently denounced that show as an abomination, for making a nazi prison camp the subject of comedy. BTW, Knight's air speed record still stands! R.I.P.

Anybody know where I can find that closing theme?

19:15 the ball goes down and then makes a gentle cruve upwards. Steve found that extra knob that curves the ball upwards.

Nanette Fabray is still alive besides Pat Carroll from this now 40 year old show.

Richard seemed so dismissive of the concept of video games... he sure ate his words there and I'm sure he realized it by the time he returned to Family Feud in 1994!
