Bob Crowder was a very close friend of my fathers. He stayed in our home when I was 14 and told me stories of the Texas Rangers. Great child hood memories.
kitty carlisle is the arlene francis of to tell the truth
Contestant #2 of the 1st game, Jim Lee Howell was a fine coach of the New York (football ) Giants. Some of his coaches that he hired or made a coach were the legends Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry. You have to guess that the panel did not recognize their local coach for two reasons. One, the panel except for Martin Gabel knew nothing about sports. Two, pro football was not popular and did not become a television event until the Baltimore Colt/New York Giants playoff game which went into overtime in 1958. At that point, pro football's popularity started to soar. So, unless they went to the games, they would have not have recognized or even knew what Jim Lee Howell looked like. Thanks for the video.
boy when children were smart and respectful
Well, in the 1950's I was less than 10 years old and my next door neighbor was a girl my same age whose family had a TV. We would sometimes watch a cartoon called Winnie Winkle (not sure of the spelling). There was a game that supported it in which you put a piece of plastic on the TV screen held there by static electricity and at certain parts of the cartoon we had to draw on the plastic to save Winnie Winkle. For example, Winnie would come to a place where we had to draw a bridge for her to cross.
That was close to 70 years ago and so my memory may not be so accurate, but I remember those times watching TV with her with Winnie Winkle.
Sounds like a lovely memory.
Put your memoirs down on paper. I am sure that many people would love to read them.
I certainly would.

I believe you are thinking of 'Winky Dink and You'. The voice of Winky Dink was provided by Mae Questel, who also voiced Betty Boop.
@@HannibalFan52 It was indeed Winky Dink and You. I sent in for my piece of plastic and "Special" grease pencil to draw in the needed stuff to save Winky Dink from all sorts of dangerous predicaments.

I like it when each panelist gets one more question after their original turn.
Me too.
Even though I just watched this episode a few weeks ago on the What's My Line? channel, I had already forgotten who the real ones were in each set of contestants! I didn't do any better guessing this time than I did last time either, except for maybe the first one (Texas Ranger), who I _sort of_ remembered. I would have voted for #1 on the spelling bee winner, because when Hy Gardner asked her (around 13:10) if her father takes the bullets out of his gun when he comes home, she really looked like she was trying to remember what he does (about 13:14) and not like she was trying to decide what the right answer should be.
She also got this right:
*baccivorous*
(bækˈsɪvərəs)
adj
1. (Zoology) feeding on berries
(From: www.thefreedictionary.com/Baccivorous) -- though according to the pronunciation guide here, it looks as if she pronounced it wrong. I guess the double c is supposed to be pronounced the same way as it is in the word "vaccination." When I clicked on the American flag to hear it pronounced, it sounded more like "bass'iverus," but that doesn't fit with the way it is phonetically written out on the same web page. The British pronunciation (click on British flag) fits with the "backs" part but puts the accent on the second syllable. Actually, that pronunciation (British) makes more sense to me, because it is compatible with such similar-meaning words as "omnivorous" and "herbivorous." (I looked up those two words on thefreedictionary.com, and they actually have similarly odd pronunciation guides for them. MerriamWebster.com does not list "baccivorous" at all, but its spoken pronunciations for "omnivorous" [www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/omnivorous] and "herbivorous" [www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/herbivorous] are the ones I have always heard, and they give both accentuations as acceptable in the phonetic spellings.)
P.S. And yeah, I know I'm probably getting way too technical and detailed about all this, but hey -- I'm a librarian -- it's what I do! ;) (And besides that, I won my school and district spelling bees in 8th grade. :) )
The guy who does the intro sounds good, until he says the name "Bud Collyer". His voice changes like he's on helium, every episode. I've even wondered if another guy chimes in for those two words, but that doesn't make sense.
In 1940, the winning word for the National Spelling Bee was "therapy"
I mention that not in terms of intelligence, but rather that was an exotic word not in common usage in 1940.
This last spelling bee had a eight way tie because they ran the list of words and I really had never even heard of most of them.
Aw, I love Bud Collyer! What a nice guy. He was a presbyterian, just like Mr. Rogers. Coincidence?
I also appreciate how the producers go right from the game to the reveal without the annoying commercial interruption we would have today. And because we have the annoying interruption, we must sit through the recap (or re-crap, as I call it) when we return. Sigh. I hate re-craps and pre-craps.
Bud gets a little corny sometimes, but he seems so natural and relaxed.
Those of us who are true fans of The Marx Brothers, know his name is pronounced. "Chicko", not "Cheecko". Over the years, I think Chico's name has been mispronounced more than anyone in the history of show-biz.
and according to Groucho, he got that name because he was a known woman chaser and in those days those women were called "Chicks" , hence, "Chico"
