Since they seem to allow at least small gestures, indeed (as it was used for a second clue) Davis could have cinched it again with a first clue by saying "Fraternityyyyy" and then gently gesturing toward the girls. End of story. I'd have given it an 85% chance of success.
It almost seems as if it would have been more fair to split the 50 between both contestants when the celebrity gave away the word in the lightning round.
I love this game but some of the players don't say obvious clues.I would have said 'bread' for 'loaf', or 'meat' ,as in meatloaf.Sammy would have been a fun partner.Sammy is a singer, his partner should have said song for lyrics.
the candy man can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good...I couldn't quit singing this in 1972 and will remember these lyrics as long as I have my right mind...
It be funny if somebody said "milk…" And then the next person said "of…" (For amnesia LOL) :-) [Stupid form of trying to play the game = reference: milk of magnesia :-]
Have you noticed that whenever the celebrity accidentally says the actual word during the lightning round, Allen gives it to the contestant? If it was the celebrity, I would just say the five words immediately thus setting a new lighting round record of five seconds.
Just checked out Sammy's partner he did get his PHD in philosophy and is now a prof emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Washington(check their site), and has the required philosophical grizzled beard , but otherwise looks the same. He is a specialist in Aesthetics. Wow 50 years ago, thanks YT!
Thanks so much for finding this! I always wonder about the people- if they are still alive and what their stories are. In this particular episode I actually recognized Sheldon Hackney immediately! He was a Ph.D and the president of University of Pennsylvania when I was there. (He was Rosemary Clooney’s partner in the middle game). But they didn’t even ask him what he did! They just asked if he had a family.
Christopher Morgan.......When he mentioned getting a degree in philosophy I thought " What do you plan on doing with that degree"? Teach of course; but is there anything else you can do with a philosophy degree(???)
@@wynnssecret8882 Some other possibilities are: writer, editor, business mgmt. & gov't, *it was my best subject, so I looked into it, but job prospects were too few or unappealing (last 2)
For "Tempt" - even for a first clue, "Entice" could have worked (especially if said with a little bit of acting behind it). Also, "Entice" would offer less of a chance of an answer with the wrong form of the word (like temptation, etc.).
@@malcolmmarshall5946, that must have been a rollicking Connecticut suburb. Tate married to two women named Louise, Kravitz married to two women named Agnes, "Mother Stevens" married to two men named Frank, and Sam married to two men named Darren. Or was that last Sargent York?
After we had established that first clue for "Amnesia" (Forgetfulness) I think a shoe-in for getting it on the second clue would be if at 4:16 Davis had simply said the one word, "Diagnosis" (okay, maybe not a sure thing, however, I give it an 80% chance that the contestant would have gotten it).
This may or may not work but maybe for "Chapter" even the first clue could be…"Eleven.." sort of looking down and forlorn and stretching out the word 11 :-)
@@Alex-dy8mw non racist people wouldnt have noticed?!? What does THAT even mean, or have to do with my statement? What does "non racist people" notice, then?
@@Alex-dy8mw the fact here is, you were bothered enough, to actually pretend as if what I said, has no relevance of the times this was shot. Go away "non racist".
@@Alex-dy8mw You're right and HaidenMichelle is just a stupid "politically correct" racist woman because she's racist against white people. I'm sick and tired of so many people showing black privilege instead of quality when it comes to hiring people. Blacks are perfectly capable of going to college and earning a degree so that they can get a good job based on their good qualifications.
NTSC color TV went on the air in 1954, but it took the better part of a decade for the economy of scale to make the sets widely-affordable and for enough color content to appear to justtify the cost of the sets. ABC and CBS were also late to the party because they resisted paying a license fee to RCA. That logjam was reduced when Norelco (North American Philips) introduced their own NTSC cameras, with which (I think) early color episodes of Password were photographed.
