I was never a big fan of Soupy in the 60s and 70s, but as I watch the reruns I'm touched by his always good-hearted and gentle humor and his very capable game playing skills. He and Arlene made a strong 1-2 punch!
1st contestant. Odd that Bruner told the panel so much. "He makes an edible product." Well, that's his line then. The only thing to guess was the name of it. 🤔
The syndicated version was more interested in cutting down time on game play so there could be more time to let the contestant do a demonstration bit afterwards. By giving a few hints like "edible product" you save time wasted with meandering preliminaries waiting for someone to as "is it edible?"
In the discussion at the end, it's astonishing how much Pia Lindstrom's voice and accent resemble Arlene's.
