Here's a treat for my fellow game show fans: a very rare classic game show, transferred from an original 16mm kinescope in my personal collection, it's the 5th episode of Say When!! starring Art James.
What a joy to see this! My young friends and I used to watch this back in the day and never missed an episode. We even created our own 'home version' for many hours of fun. Thanks for posting!
Interesting! It's a rare show all right! I've never heard of it, and I'm a huge classic TV buff. Anyway, thank you for the upload! I love watching the old "What's My Line" episodes from the 1950s on RU-vid, so I was definitely interested to see this!! Again, many thanks!
Oh thank you so much!!! I’ve only seen two episodes of the show, the pilot and another episode. I wish there were more. But I’m so glad to find a new one (to me anyway). It’s shows like this that I wish I could make a comeback.
Awesome, Thank you for uploading this. My brother, Dolf, was born January 21, 1961, one day after JFK was inaugurated and 15 days after this episode aired.
Thank you a MILLION times over for posting this. Don't figure out my age, but I remember watching this program on my days off from school--this was when the quotidian television fare consisted of game shows, daytime dramas (a/k/a soap operas), and reruns of popular television programs, particularly situation comedies. I also give thanks for the glory of You Tube.
Thanks for posting this ( with the Original Commercials in tact ) i watched the one that was posted sometime back from ( i believe ) 1969 with the 2 ladies playing against each other. This one was way before James did the Marble Machine. please post more of these if availible.
I vaguely remember this game show. Probably watched it, as a kid. It APPEARS to be a parody of "The Price is Right"; which at the time (1961) was an enormously popular game show, with host Bill Cullen. NOTE that Art James mentions Montgomery Ward --- a venerable retailer from yesteryear.
Also, because of the Quiz Show Scandals, the FCC made it illegal to have corporate sponsor names directly displayed during the program (panel shows were exempted for a time, before this practice ended by around 1963).
Where on earth have you found these kinescopes? Thank you for posting them, though. This was one of my favorite game shows when I was a little kid. I had the home version too and played it with my family. About 15 years later, I was a contestant on the 3W's with Art James. He was a great host.
Art James was a great host. It is so sad that so little of his work survives. I was also a big fan of The Who, What, or Where Game. Would LOVE to see more of those.
How about that? Aired precisely 25 years to the day before the $1 million COAL premiered. Also Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak. (Not to mention 1-6-61 is a palindrome.)
