I feel so old. I watched this show as a kid and found it funny (although didn't understand all of it at that age) then in repeats as a teen and now have the box set of selected episodes. Yet find it as hilarious as ever - even when knowing the punchlines.
JTLYK: TCN is the Nine Network affiliate for Sydney, which was the city where "Blankety Blanks" was taped (BB was taped at the TEN studios of the 0-10 Network {now Network Ten}). TCN was also the first TV station in Australia to begin regular transmissions on 16 September 1956.
That burnt orange on the set is pretty much a copy of the one of the American counterpart, Match Game. It looked like this between 1973 and 1978, after which they got a new set for the remaining four years of its run.
Well, I'm not Australian, so this may be difficult for me. Because of jokes I've heard about it, I said "Perth". Isn't it about a decade behind the rest of the country or something?
All the ladies were scrumptious yummy babes. Didn't realise back then because I was under 10 years old. What surprises me most is that my parents let me watch it.
The only regional joke I remember is, “what’s the difference between Queensland and Yogurt?”
Yogurt has a culture”.

Blankety Blanks was such a great show. Always love the Ugly Dave Gray joke at the end...
Those shirt collars could take your eye out!
These days you would still answer Canberra, just shows you nothing much has changed

Well damn I thought Melbourne
As a UK citizen my clever answer would be - TOORAK ! ! !
Did you know you can ride a Yak in Toorak?
Ugly Dave's laughter is contagious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Heading straight for Dan Andrews in Parliament House Melbourne.
In America’s Match Game, it would have been phrased naughtier. For instance “that meteor is headed straight for YOUR blank!”
Noel Ferrier with the 2021 visionary answer lol
My first thought was Canberra/Parliament House 😜🤣
Gotta love 1970s fashion and television.
Imagine Bradley Walsh's reaction to this...
Burnt orange.
The background of the 70's.

bluebear1985
No, that's Queensland 😂😂
But in all honesty, Canberra is the ideal place. It's Australia's equivalent to Washington hehe
@@ozlass7778 Sorry for the late response, but I know what you mean. In my case, Ottawa would be more accurate.
@@bluebear1985 Actually, I would've said "Encino"
@@gladfan1989 That would probably be the definitive answer in the States. 😁
Loved Belinda back then
All the ladies were scrumptious yummy babes.

I always thought that Noeline was a beautiful woman, even when I was a little girl.
Headed for YOU. lol
a fuckin fire ball
Are you Australians allergic to uploading a full episode of anything?
No I think it’s just copyright bull shit
I didnt know noelene likes to be on top.
Belinda looked cute
Not as much as the contestant.
This craps over anything on tv today, reality tv , any of it!
:P
I love him, but PLEASE Derryn was right, how can he NOT be gay?
He was gay 100%
He was gay. Hardly a secret but neither should it have mattered in that (or any) era.
