Jack Narz served as the host (introduced on-air as "the Mayor") from the show's premiere until September 9, 1960, after which he departed for personal reasons. Red Rowe filled in as Mayor for the week of September 16 (including the final nighttime episode); the following Monday, Monty Hall replaced Narz and hosted through the remainder of the show's run.
Kenny Williams served as the announcer (the "town crier") throughout the show's run. Joanne Copeland (later to become the second Mrs. Johnny Carson) served as the show's original hostess during the time it originated from New York City. Shortly after Hall joined the show and Heatter-Quigley moved it to CBS Television City in Hollywood, California, Copeland was replaced by Eileen Barton.

When I watched this a 10 year old-in the summer and when I played hooky-I thought that the world was great and that it would never change.I hadn't realized that some people had other plans.

@missingbitz9831 Год назад

Yes, life seemed simpler as a young person.

@mlbrooks4066 10 месяцев назад

I was a devoted fan too. It was a fun show, especially for a kid.

The Assistant to the Mayor was introduced as Joann Copeland. She later married Johnny Carson in 1963 and became better known as Joann Carson.

Very cool information.

Ms. Copeland drew the attention of handsome NY Giant football player Frank Gifford later while married to Carson ------Johnny Carson did not like that according to his lawyer Henry Buskin's book .

I don't remember the Milton Bradley home version of the game but I do remember a home version of "Concentration" which was a plastic box with slots for little cards that you would remove, revealing more of the picture puzzle. The picture puzzles were on a paper roll with around 50 of the puzzles. If a home game came out now it would probably be an app for your phone.

I finally get to see an episode of the 60's game show Video Village. I first knew about it from an old issue of LIFE magazine my aunt had.

My sister and I loved Video Village. We actually “copied” the board on a sheet of paper and played with dice and tokens from another game. Later we got a real game set. Happy memories. ❤️

@4seeableTV Месяц назад

That sounds like a good way to play the game at home.

Milton Bradley manufactured a box game version which was one of America's hottest selling toys between late 1960 (when it came out) and 1962.

@GeorgeDamon 11 месяцев назад

I think they should bring this show back as an occasional special, like they've done with other classic game shows. They could make a really cool 3-D set with lots of new, modern features and lights to mark the squares where the contestants go after their spin. Of course they'd have to up the value of the prizes, but I think modern audiences would enjoy an updated version.

@4seeableTV 11 месяцев назад

That's a good idea.

@luisreyes1963 5 месяцев назад

It could be updated to feature an "Online" theme that would feature prizes from leading online sites like Amazon.

Jack Narz only appeared as host for the early New York run of VV. Red Rowe filled in for a couple of weeks after that, and then Heatter-Quigley moved west to Hollywood, where Monty Hall hosted for the rest of the show’s run.

This is the first time I've seen this and maybe it's just me, but this might be a coincidental precursor to Canada's "The Mad Dash" from producer Sidney Cohen from 1978-1980 but without the questions asked. Very interesting!

Monty Hall DID host later on. Narz went on to ABC and “Seven Keys.” There’s a Hall V.V. episode from 1962 (the next to the very last program of V.V.) here on RU-vid, and it’s shown on videotape.

@gcfifthgear Год назад

First time I've seen "Video Village" since it was originally aired! Amazing how excited the players were about winning five or ten dollars, much less a box of nylon stockings!

@4seeableTV Год назад

I suppose after the war, nylon stockings were considered a luxury since they went many years without them.

@tomservo56954 11 месяцев назад

In the wake of the quiz show scandals, CBS was wary of having contestants win large sums of money. In fact, when a player on the nighttime version of PASSWORD two years later won $1,200 in a single episode, the network made producers Mark Goodson and Bill Todman change the rules so that the same twp players couldn't compete for the entire show.

@gwenniegirl50 5 месяцев назад

@@4seeableTVinteresting point of view. This show was produced and aired in 1960, fifteen years after WWII. Nylons weren’t a rare item anymore.

@terencedove5047 9 месяцев назад

Jack Narz also hosted Betty White’s 50s TV show, LIFE WITH ELIZABETH. His brother, James Edward Narz, was known professionally as Tom Kennedy, who also hosted game shows such as PASSWORD PLUS, SPLIT SECOND, YOU DON’T SAY, and the nighttime version of THE PRICE IS RIGHT…

@4seeableTV Who because a good friend to Truman Capote when they both lived in the United Nations Plaza apartments. While she didn't take his advice to stick with Carson, she remained loyal to Truman as others abandoned him in the wake of revelations from excerpts of his never published novel ANSWERED PRAYERS. He would pass on in her Los Angeles home in 1984.

Did you know there was a game modeled after Video Village in the Japanese SFC version of Dragon Quest III? It was called "Pachisi" & you can only play it by obtaining tickets & finding the hidden game boards. 😁

You're right. Video Village Junior aired on Saturday mornings from September 30, 1961, to June 16, 1962

@armorybrunotjr.3204 9 месяцев назад

There was a later children's game which had a large game board on the set in "Shenanigans", hosted by Stubby Kaye and lasted the 1964-65 season on ABC.

@markfriedman5706 8 месяцев назад

Video Village Jr was also called Kideo Village.

@markfriedman5706 8 месяцев назад

I watched SHENANIGANS every Saturday morning. It was less a game show and more a 30 minute commercial for Milton Bradley whose game were shamelessly promoted. (Time Bomb! would be an interesting gift to bring on a plane. ) What was truly incredible was the get a Broadway and film star the caliber of stubby Kaye to host and sing in a Network morning show was truly amazing. What a treat as he was just off starring in lLil Abner and cat Ballou.
