im glad to see your not the only one who wants to see namedroppers i would love to get my hands on an ep. al lohman and roger barkley were the best djs in la and i would like to see how they did as game show hosts

It's funny. I was raised on the east coast, and I only knew of Lohman and Barkley from watching NAME DROPPERS. It wasn't until I moved to the left coast that I realized that they were famous for more than just the quiz show.

since you have seen the show i was wondering were lohman and barkley good hosts ? it seemes to me they really wouldnt be that good with a game show format because they were masters at free form humour and a 30 miniute game show would not allow for much ad libbing.

I was about 7 or 8 when the show aired originally, so my judgement will be skewed. I thought they were good then, however I'd love the opportunity to see the show again and analyze their work through the eyes of adulthood.

thanks for your anwser i hope someone finds an ep but people i know personally who work in the video biz for a living and know about these things told me when i asked about the show that all the ep. as far as he knew were gone but maybe ther still might be one or 2 out there .we can only hope

by the way i just rememberd lohman and barkley hosted another short lived game show in 1979 called bedtime stories i know 1 ep of that show is on file at ucla as is a part of one of ther shows from knbc in la.

Oh, yes. I'd almost forgotten about that...

What about "Puttin' On the Hits"? I haven't seen that show since I was a kid.

Does anyone remember the following game shows:

Concentration
You Bet Your LIfe
Truth Or Consequences
Queen For A Day
64,000 Question
Password
To Tell The Truth
Beat the Clock
Who Do You Trust

I grew up with some of these shows. I wish the network would put them on again in reruns. I'd love to see these type of shows. I enjoy ALL game shows. Especially the kind you have to play along with. I love word games. :wave:

Remember last time, I posted my dream acquisition list about the show called "Puttin' on the Hits", guess what, I found a 7-minute of the show called "Puttin' on the Hits". This was the show that I remember back in the 80's. Here is that clip from the Allen Fawcett website

http://killerreel.com/allen_fawcett/rm/allenDSLpoth.ram

that clip was fun to watch i always thought that allen fawcett should have gotten the bandstand hosting job when dick clark stepped down in 89. its still a mystery to me why dick didnt give him the job it might have lasted longer than the 26 weeks that it was on after dick left.

Unfortunely,most of thoes shows are even lost or as always rumor,erase from existence never to see the light of day again until someone get lucky and find them somewhere collecting dust I for one would love to see the original Jeopardy with Art Flemming(Even if it's the lone 75 version they claim they have :lol: ).High Rollers,Gambit,and of course,my dream show The Hollywood Squares would all be added to my list :happyface

Regarding Bob's dream list, I have a 15:25 color demo hosted by Tom Kennedy on the set of the show where he plays clips from episodes with Phyllis Diller, Jame Powell, Jim Fitzgerald, Richard Dawson, Peter Lawford, Mary Rowan, Keenan Wynn, David Hartman, Lois Nettleton, & Burt Reynolds...from the clips this show is very similar to Bert Convy's Tattletales. Email direct to TEEVEECLOSET@AOL.COM if interested.

Since posting that WISH LIST, I've gotten an even dozen shows off that list. They ARE out there, but it's very time consuming. More game shows come in all the time. Check out my list at

My HAVE LIST is first, followed by my WANT LIST

Does anyone remember the following game shows:

Concentration
You Bet Your LIfe
Truth Or Consequences
Queen For A Day
64,000 Question
Password
To Tell The Truth
Beat the Clock
Who Do You Trust

Yes, Concentration was fun...we had the board game. I would watch that during Summer Vacation or when I was home sick from school.. I think it aired at 10:00 am.

I loved reruns of "You Bet Your Life", Groucho was amazing! (I have a few episodes on Tape).

Truth or Consequences, with Bob Barker (that might have been his first job hosting, I'm not sure) was a fun show...we used to watch that in the late 60s in the evenings...

Never saw Queen for a Day or the 64,000 Question (I was born in 59)

Beat the clock was fun to watch when I was a kid...we watched the late 60s/early 70s version, although the show originated in the mid 1950s... in fact, GSN runs Beat the Clock (50s version) at 3:00 am, Eastern Time, even today...

Never saw "Who Do You Trust".

I'd love to see GSN air some of these old shows... a few years ago, GSN would air the 50s and early 60s versions of "What's My Line" and "I've Got a Secret" on Sunday evenings at like 6:00 pm EST, which was great... Now the only old shows they air, they do at 3:00 am...Beat the Clock and What's My Line.. GSN keeps trying to invent their own game shows, and most of it's pretty pathetic. Like the Cartoon Network, they had a good thing going when they just stuck to airing the old classics, but they Jumped the Shark when they started rolling their own.

moving to the head of the line!

This seems to be an old thread hopefully it is still alive. I was a contestant on Name Droppers in about Sept 1969. In the format one of the host interviewed each contestant , I was interviewed by Roger Barkley. Bill Bixby, Ruth Busby and Carl Reiner were the "Celeberities" as they called them on the week that I was on. As a contestant we were warned not to make fun of the Celibs. I started my interview with a comment about Carl Reiner's hairline. I stopped mid-sentence and made a total fool of myself. I have heard that there are surviving episodes of this show and I would love to find one. -- Bob

Sadly, I do not have that particular episode. I know of only one in
circulation, and the celebrities on that particular episode are
BOB NEWHART, BOB CUMMINGS and RUTH BUZZI. I hear from people
all the time whose 30 minutes of fame are seemingly lost forever in the ether.
I have noticed that NBC was the MOST careless with its daytime programming. SO many NBC shows no longer seem to exist like SNAP JUDGMENT,
SHOWDOWN, WORDS AND MUSIC, THE ORIGINAL SALE OF THE CENTURY with Jack Kelly and later Joe Garagiola, YOU'RE PUTTING ME ON and CHAIN LETTER to name but a few (only the pilots for the latter two seem to exist).
For the most part, they live on ONLY in the memory banks of those who have the pleasure of experiencing them in a bygone era.
