Nice to know I'm not alone in my trips through YouTube for ancient game shows. This columnist also reminisces about the clips waiting for sentimental journeyers. Only he has a personal link. He was in the studio audience as a nine-year-old for Charles Boyer's mystery guest appearance on What's My Line in March, 1957.That would make the columnist a couple years older than me. With the big Six-O bearing down on me this year, the journeys to the past keep getting more sentimental. There's an obvious reason for this but I try not to think about it too much. If I make it to my parents' average, I still have a quarter-century left to rummage though YouTube, anyway.
I wasn't ever in the studio audience for a game show. But as a real little kid I did make a trip to Cincinnati's WLWT studios for a live broadcast of Midwestern Hayride, a country-western music show. Like everybody else, I was amazed at how little the studio seemed compared to the grand vista on TV.
The entry below mentions Rod Serling, who worked on Midwestern Hayride as a writer before his Twilight Zone fame. Funny how things go around and come around, even on a little game show blog.
