Norman Robert Ford taught JD Salinger in English and Dramatics at Valley Forge Military School, and Ford also taught at the Taft School 1937-38.

I stayed at a hostel. It cost me $14/nite.

The date on this episode has been driving me crazy (Sep 11, 1966 was a Sunday, not a Monday). Also, there is no evening episode listed in the newspaper listings of the time. I finally found the answer on the Mark Goodson site, which shows that this episode originally aired on Jul 26, 1965. Thanks for sharing - Your TH-cam channel is the best!

the questions the panel asked about Tropical Fish were really out there, but I saw one contestant laugh when another contestant gave an equally silly answer ..

I won a Felix the Cat board game when I was a kid from a contest sponsored by a local television station. It was a prized possession for many years. Loved the cartoon.

Mr. Orson Bean was with us until 2020 at the age of 92.

[@randylovering24]

if i am correct WAS NOT TO TELL THE TRUTH A REPLACEMENT FOR A SERIES THAT FAILED IN 1966 AND returned to the air IN DECEMBER 1966

[@jonb5817]

I think so , but iam not sure . . .

[@ana419]

There was a predecessor called "Nothing But the Truth," but I am not sure if it failed or ran in that timeline. You would have to research that.

Do these Youth hostel still exist?

Peggy is wearing a wig !!!!

[@randylovering24]

it looked like 1965 not 1966

[@quizmaster85]

Yeah, because I'm sure it went to colour around the same time as "What's My Line?".

[@rmelin13231]

You are apparently correct, as another poster stated this episode actually aired on 26 July, 1965. Very good!

What a wasteful use of a mansion, using it to teach about betting.

[@robertdesantis6205]

I'll bet they tore it down.

Axelrod went to prison for tax fraud and had swiss bank accounts.
