I can't stop wondering why we haven't seen The Astounding She-Monster on MST3K or Svengoolie. "Near the Sierra Madre mountains, a hardened criminal, a psychotic killer and two women encounter a woman of Amazonian proportions, sheathed in a skin tight metal film which casts off an eerie radiation." I think it would be a perfect fit, don't you?

For years I've seen "News, Rocky Teller" in these listings, with no clue as to who Rocky Teller was. Finally, I got the great idea to see what I could find out on this great thing called the internet. " In those days, there was an outfitter in Duluth, named Rocky Teller, who owned a sporting goods store and who did a weekly TV fishing show. I guess I was about 10 or 11 when I was introduced to the Rapala knife through Rocky Teller. About that time, we started using the original Rapala lures. It was through Rocky Teller and Ron Weber, in Rocky's store, that I learned how to quickly filet and skin virtually any fish, even a Northern Pike." So now we know.

The Young Marrieds was a relatively short-term soap, running from October 1964 to March 1966. One of the young marrieds was Paul Picerni, Eliot Ness' number-two man on The Untouchables, which was also on ABC. Finally we get a look at the agents' home lives!

Every once in a while I'll run across a game show that I hadn't heard of, and Call My Bluff is one of them. Makes sense, since it was only on from March to September of 1965, but since I was watching TV that summer, I would think I might have recalled it. Wonderful set though, isn't it? Screams mid-60s, in the best way.

Lois Leppart (12:15 pm) was a local news figure, the "first 'full-fledged woman newscaster' in the Upper Midwest," according to this obituary. She started out on TV in Fargo before moving to the Twin Cities; this show will be cancelled later in the year in favor of soap operas and repeats of hour-long dramas. Another story mentions that in 1964, she used her program to help get children adopted.

Julanne Griffin, one of the guests on Virginia Graham's Girl Talk show, was the then-wife of talk show host Merv Griffin. The things you learn reading TV Guide. TV
Game Show Time:
ReplyDelete- Call My Bluff worked like this:
Two teams - a celebrity captain and two civilians - were given an obscure word from the unabridged dictionary.
One team was handed three folders - one with the definition, the other two with the word BLUFF. The two who got BLUFF had to invent a "definition" for the word. A player for the other team had to choose which of the three definitions was the right one.
I was a stay-at-home teenager in '65, and I loved this game.
This week's celebs were Gene Rayburn and Elliott Reid (Fred MacMurray's Flubber nemesis), who were the funniest bluffers on the show - deadpan geniuses who could come up with crazy but plausible definitions that were almost as good as the real ones.
As noted, this only ran the one season, and I was sorry to see it go.
By the way, the clip appears to be from the pilot taping; Don Pardo is the announcer heard here, but on the regular series Johnny Olson had the job.
- And next on NBC: I'll Bet!, another husband-and-wife game, where the spouses would bet on whether each could correctly answer the quiz questions.
Noting that one couple this week was Ed and Helen Begley - of course this is Ed Senior, who was around 65 at the time (Helen was somewhat younger, and had presented Ed Sr. with a newborn daughter not long before; Ed Begley Jr. was a young teen (from Begley Sr.'s first marriage), several years away from his own career).
As for Michael Connors, Mannix was also a few years away; I think he was plugging a movie called "Situation Hopeless But Not Serious", which also starred Sir Alec Guinness and Robert Redford, to none of their benefit.
- The Price Is Right's celebrity player this week is Arthur Treacher, then Merv Griffin's announcer/sidekick.
I'll always remember Treacher's wonderful scowl as he'd tell guests "I'm having a damn good time!"
- In other matters:
When MeTV took Svengoolie national a few years back, they apparently struck a deal with MCA to use the Universal horror library exclusively.
Prior to that, Rich Koz (Sven 2.0) and his predecessor Jerry G. Bishop (Original Sven) used to show some of the schlockiest flicks available - Poverty Row Klassix like "Astounding She-Monster" were the usual fare (Did you notice that this is another gem from Robert Clarke, later of the King Family? No? Oh well ...).
Burr Tillstrom, creator of Kukla And Ollie, is hosting Today, which means that the puppets are likely doing most of the on-camera work (with the showbiz folk anyway).
Side Story: When the national company of "Side By Side By Sondheim" was playing in Chicago, Cyril Ritchard, who was serving as emcee, suffered a fatal heart attack during a performance, and the show had to go dark temporarily while the producers found a replacement.
Native son Burr Tillstrom was recruited, and brought Kukla and Ollie with him.
They were an immediate hit - ticket sales soared, and the producers brought the Kuklapolitans to Broadway, where they repeated the smash performance.

CALL MY BLUFF was a bigger success in England--supposedly Mark Goodson saw it there and wanted to get the U.S. rights forgetting that it was his own show.
DeleteExtra-belatedly:
DeleteMr. Duca's history is slightly sideways.
Call My Bluff's US run came first.
The BBC sent their Comedy supervisor Frank Muir to look over the Goodson-Todman game catalog for ideas that the Beeb could use.
Muir liked the obscure word angle of Call My Bluff, but didn't care for the contestant part.
When Muir brought the show to the Beeb, he'd turned it into a celebrity rib-fest, with no prizes for civilians; it has run on BBC off-and-on for years since.
There may have been a microwave link between KTCA and WDSE allowing them to feed each other programming.
ReplyDeleteThat would account for those two stations having similar program schedules, although live national feeds for what was then NET were still over two years away (the premiere of "PBL") and only occasionally until 1969.
The only widespread live ETV network in 1965 was the Eastern Educational Network, which linked stations along the East Coast from Maine to Washington, D.C. I beolieve Boston's WGBH was the major force in getting EEN started.
