BuzzerBlog's Alex Davis has received the GSN schedule pdfs for the next several weeks. They show the network will grant my wish, expressed a few posts ago, and run a couple weeks of I've Got a Secret starting December 12.This has become a Christmastime tradition for GSN. This year the run is more appropriate than usual thanks to the general move on the network's schedule toward older and more traditional material. The show will be paired with its Goodson-Todman sibling (and in-house competitor) What's My Line in the 3:00AM Eastern hour.
All the episodes come from the 1960s, when the show was not exclusively sponsored by tobacco companies. This allows GSN to skirt the rules against tobacco advertising on TV. Alex lists the episodes, and a couple segments from them are already available on YouTube. The screenshot comes from Spike Jones' appearance on February 1, 1961, which will feature in GSN's run.
At the top of the segment Garry Moore comments on the recent inaugural parade...for John F. Kennedy. It was only a half-century ago.
