English is not my first language- when I came to live in the US- I couldn’t speak a word of English much less, read- I am eternally grateful to the Dr. Seuss book! Because of his books, I was not only able to learn to read in English, but, his books gave me a love of reading which has served me throughout my life. Later on when I had my son, his first books were Dr. Seuss. He loved them so much that whenever we go out, he would have to take them along. Many, many thanks Dr. Seuss! This episode of TTTT was certainly a treat!
@marie-elena Waldrip. That's awesome. The liberals, unfortunately, banned Dr Seuss's books from a lot of libraries because they claimed that his books were racist. Of course, none of his books were racist. I'm very fortunate because there's a small town of 1600 residents in Wisconsin that still carries a lot of Dr Seuss's books in their library and that town is close to where I live. The town that I'm referring to has a lot of Conservatives in it.
@@lynettepalecek3141 it was Dr. Seuss’ own enterprise that stopped the publishing of SIX of his books because, and I quote from their AP Press release, “These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong. Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and part of our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ catalog represents and supports all communities and families.” They went on to say that months of working with a panel of experts which included educators, specialists in the field of psychology, academics, and others in the field of publishing before a decision was made to cease publishing: If I Ran The Zoo, And to Think that I saw it on Mulberry Street, The Cat’s Quizzer, On Beyond Zebra, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and McElligot’s Pool. Stereotyping was more the issue than racism. Seuss Enterprises is still doing quite well, grossing over $33,000,000 in 2020. Random House, Seuss’ publisher, had nothing to do with the decision to stop publishing those 6 books. They chose to honor Seuss Enterprises wishes. It was not a political decision, plain and simple.

2019...I absolutely cannot stop watching this show...do u think if someone told them 60 years ago that somebody would be watching this 60 years from now on a little hand held device that can double as a camera, and a telephone they’d believe u?
I remember an episode where he humiliated a woman about her looks...she was clearly embarrassed...but then I suppose she doesn't, or indeed didn't, matter...
Love this show so much! Love the format and it's really entertaining. It's fascinating to see all these famous people when they were young, and long before I was born. Thanks so much for sharing! :)
A lot of Joan Bennett fans on here....32 yrs after her passing, she's still remembered and adored....Even in the horrible photography of early television, she's a Class act with her double pearl choker, and brandishing her cat-eye glasses !
It doesn't sound like much today, but in 1958, $250 was a lot of money. TTTT was very generous in awarding the 3 panel members that amount for each incorrect vote. Especially compared to What's My Line where the most a challenger could win was $ 50. Of course on TTTT they earned it because they had to prepare beforehand for questions, whereas on WML they just sat there and answered yes or no.
@ZoneFighter1 Correct, but more often than not there was at least one incorrect vote, often more, so they still made out better than a What's My Line contestant.
15:24 Contestant #1 Burton Brown established his Gentleman's "Private Key" Clubs, the "Gaslight Club" in 1953 in Chicago, New York, and Washington, DC. One of his Gentleman's Club members in Chicago, Hugh Hefner, later effectively modeled his "Playboy Club" after the business model Mr Brown had established.
I've only seen a handful of TTTT episodes but Polly Bergen seems very serious here compared to other episodes where she's normally the comedian of the panel.
Polly Bergen's TV show, plugged by Bud at the tag, originated from New York's Century Theatre (formerly Jolson's 59th Street) on the competing network, NBC.

Is this the only time Joan Bennett appeared on a panel show? I don't recall seeing her on What's My Line, even as a mystery guest. She would have been great there.
Marlene Hagge just turned 89 years old. Interesting fact: she married her sister's ex-husband... and then apparently learned why he was her sister's "ex"--because she ended up divorcing him, too!
Don Ameche was a well-known stage and movie actor, and radio and tv personality. My favorite role of his is John Bickerson opposite Frances Langford's Blanche Bickerson in "The Bickersons".
They asked him when does the books go into public domain, he says 2 terms of 14 yrs. I thought that was a bad goof. Or was that the law back then? Or didn't he know. Now as I understand it, it's 50 or 70 yrs after the death of the author.
Not a goof. It's correct. And authors had to "opt-in" for copyright protection which meant they had to jump through all sorts of hoops just to get their work protected, it wasn't automatic. This is one reason some movies and TV shows eventually fell into public domain by clerical oversight. All that changed in the 1970s when it became much easier to copyright material.
Yes, maximum of 28 years. Copyright was never meant to last an entire lifetime. It was corporate owners of copyrights, such as Walt Disney, who lobbied Congress to keep extending copyrights longer and longer.
Several of the contestants sort of gave away their identity. Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) who was #2 shook his head up and down as he said his name as if to say, "Yes, I AM Theodore Geisel." Of the female golf contestants, # 3 shook her head from side to side as she gave the name and I thought, "Well, it isn't her! She is saying no with her head movements."
Hy Gardner usually asks about newspapers--I'm surprised he didn't ask Dr Seuss about his political cartooning for the New York tabloid PM in the 1930s and 40s.

Or watching it, PERIOD !
Dont believe they would !!!
I rarely watch television or listen to the radio , instead I listen to my favorite songs & watch my favorite cartoons on my smartphone.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
This programme would be virtually impossible today with social media so widespread.
A fine panel on this one. And how consummately classy to see (and hear) Polly Bergen and Joan Bennett behind the same desk!
This is my favorite. Ted Geisel is my Guru!!
Debra Battle mine too. favorite quote : "be yourself. the ones that matter don't mind and the ones that mind don't matter. "
Michael Lee Mine too.

They split the amount so 250 usd is 83.33 usd each
Multiply by 9 and you'll come close to what that amount would in today's dollars.
@@jonabank I'm aware of that, but often there was more than one incorrect vote so they had the potential of winning considerably more.
@ZoneFighter1 Correct, but more often than not there was at least one incorrect vote, often more, so they still made out better than a What's My Line contestant.
And if there were four incorrect votes, each contestant got $333, the equivalent of about $3,200 in 2022.
One of my favorite shows as a kid. I always looked for visual hints of who was lying. Probably good thing I became a lawyer.

He's also a dead ringer for comedian Lewis Black.

Aside from the "Good Doctor", this show is also (likely) the first show that credits the associate director. Ed Waglin, in this case.

I didn't guess Dr. Seuss.
Me neither. The only photo I saw of him, he was wearing a full beard and his hair was white.
Theodore Geisel's ethnic background was German, which I find kind of funny, since "Geisel" in German means "hostage"!
Hy Gardner usually asks about newspapers--I'm surprised he didn't ask Dr Seuss about his political cartooning for the New York tabloid PM in the 1930s and 40s.
Lady #1 in Game #1
Man #2 in Game #2
Man #3 in Game #3
Hard to believe this nutty generation finds him offensive!
I sure could do with some of that there Geritol...
Hagge hall of gamer!
Hall of fame!
I didn't think it possible but Hy Gardener is almost as arrogant as Steve Allen.
Ms. Bennett was pushing 48 years old at this time .
Geisel looks like he enjoyed to eat sinful foods
