  1. it is Bob Barker, and he did the show before Price is Right for MANY years. It began on radio without him, but ran on TV at least in the 60's and 70's. It wasn't exactly a 'game' show, though that would be the category to classify it. I know it was still going in the early 70's and I know most everyone here is old enough to have been there, so it's not obscure.

  2. nope-not either of them-it's not on anymore-but the guy from that show, went on to host the longest running game show which is still on. The show in question was a game in the loosest sense of the word.

    and it's not Merv Griffin

  3. wasn't that the show about Carla's ex' family? the Tortellis ?

    oh-and Paul Revere and the Raiders were co hosts of Where the Action Is, but Dick Clark was on it too, as main host-though his presence wasn't as great as on Bandstand.

  4. I'm basing my Mary Hartman guess on the clue that the star had a meltdown, and another character was a country singer. I just don't recall a hit song from the show, or if Louise Lasser ever melted down on national TV-she melted everywhere else

  5. yes, George-Ann Sothern was reincarnated as a 1928 Porter. Of course she doesn't talk to anyone but Jerry Van Dyke, and his wife thinks he's gone nuts keeping the piece of junk. And Avery Schreiber-of Burns and Shreiber with the big moustache-plays a car collector who will do anything to get the car-and there's the whole show

    your turn

  6. I'm not clear what your point is then. I don't think I'm much older than anyone here. I thought the whole point of this game was to stir memories ,and realize-'oh yeah-I do remember that show !' I'm not trying to make it too hard. If I need to limit 60's TV to Bonanza and the Lucy Show, then I'm not interested. I admit I'm an old crank, but so called obscure shows from the 60's resonate more with me than most everything aired on network TV in the last 30 years. Those shows are REALLY hard to guess.

  7. if a prime time series starring Chuck Connors , is considered too obscure to be included, then I probably shouldn't be involved with this game. It's only obscure if you don't know the answer. I watched the dang show every week.

  8. since I may not be tuning in for a day or so, and this seems to be going nowhere, I'm gonna reveal the answer. The show was 'Arrest and Trial'. The first half would be the arrest, starring Ben Gazzera as a cop, and the second half was the trial, with Chuck Connors as the lawyer. I might have reversed the actors roles, but they didn't ask my opinion.

  9. you're kind of on the right track with 'Law and Order', George-I suspect when you either think of it or find out, you'll remember since you were watching TV regularly at the time. It was on Sunday night I think-which may be one reason it didn't last, going up against Ed Sullivan or Bonanza

    and not David Jannsen-maybe I should save the answer to the run for your life thing for a future challenge

  10. I still don't understand how, why, a guy I knew very well back in the day has followed Barnard to Washington, and if reports are correct, long ago 'gave' his daughter over to him. It also seems that there's as good a possibility that Barnard is holed up at this guy's house as anyones, which would make for an interesting news day.
