Sixty-four thousand dollars

I've gotten into a black-and-white-show rut here, but I'll get out of it soon enough. Besides, the only mildly interesting current game show news is that Take It All is crashing and burning in the ratings. Which is kind of depressing for the genre, even if the show isn't the greatest ever. Anyway, from the GSN board about the upcoming What's My Line/I've Got a Secret run...

Other poster: GSN just might think of expanding the block to also include other favorites and perhaps bring back the original Password with Allen Ludden and bring some new favorites like the 64,000 Question...

Please. GSN would never run a show tainted in the rigging scandals. Although 64K Question wasn't as blatantly rigged as, say, Twenty One, the sponsor Revlon still tried to manipulate the results in ways that would bring down the wrath of Standards and Practices nowadays.

Though GSN would never touch the show, YouTube isn't so scrupulous. You can watch a typical episode here. Joyce Brothers shows up! The married contestants know their Sherlock Holmes...if the episode is on the up and up.

Another poster: Yeah, but watching a show like 64 K or Twenty-One would be fun knowing the brilliant answers were probably rigged.

Joyce Brothers actually won her 64K Question money fair and square. Revlon was trying to rig the show to get rid of her. They couldn't do it.
