This was the greatest 'game' show of all time by miles. The guests and the panelists were invariably fascinating, articulate and dignified. Sadly we'll never see another show like this again.
The men always stood up when the contestant came to greet them at the end, but it was very rare for the women to do so. That just shows how much respect they felt towards Eleanor Roosevelt.

What an honor to have seen her!! My grandmother was one of the family's nurses at Warm Springs, Georgia. One of the great ladies of history.--Tom Reilly
Also she was instrumental in getting better benefits, wages and treatment of African Americans during the implementation of “the new deal” during FDR’s second term.
The most consequential first lady in U.S. history and her husband was one of the three greatest presidents we have ever had. The other two were gentlemen named Lincoln and Washington.
I'm pretty sure she was our greatest First Lady in history, both during her time in the White House and after. A remarkable woman and person any way you slice it.
What's ironic is that the adults of the 50s are responsible for why the world is the way it is today. After the trauma of the depression and the war, They wanted to give their children the greatest and happiest life possible and that came with spoiling them with a bunch of material crap and going above and beyond to give them whatever they wanted. As a result, they raised a generation of self-righteous, self-absorbed brats. All of a sudden the '70s became the "Me Decade" And the '80s became the decade where greed was suddenly a virtue and not a sin.
That’s OK - this is history. The goal is to learn from the past so you will recognize passive greatness again, when you see it… For example Rosalyn Carter! 🙏👍🏼❤️
They don't make many women like Eleanor Roosevelt. Feminists today think being a feminist means being angry, trashy, and disrespectful and criticize men as much as possible. Eleanor Roosevelt was able to do extraordinary things for the world while retaining consistent grace and dignity. I would even liken her to Audrey Hepburn in a way.
She deserves a little credit for bringing the Democratic party to the party civil rights. She brought the issues to her husband's attention, who did what he could in his time period. But he had to worry about Southern Democrats. It took awhile to become a solid issue of the whole party, but she did have a small, early role. Too bad she couldn't talk her husband out of Japanese internment.
