Wow. This is brand new. Awesome. After its five month run, it was replaced with the moved-from-CBS "Edge of Night". "Ryan's Hope" and "Rhyme and Reason" also premiered on July 7, too.
Fun Fact: The late LMAD Announcer, Jay Stewart, was the original voice behind the Hawaiian Punch mascot, Punchy. They distorted and sped up his voice to give Punchy that memorable character.
Nothing like an old game show. But even better is that we get to see those "cheesy" commercials, which I love. Still looking everywhere for the Timex commercial where the guy dresses in drag, cracking showcases displaying Timex watches. Nowhere to be found.
I'm assuming "You Don't Say" was from Bill Carruthers Company Presentation (Give 'n" Take, Second Chance, Press Your Luck). It could mean Fremantle could already own "You Don't Say".
It was disappointing to read that the celebrities were given key words in advance. I suppose they didn't want the celebrities to appear stupid. But at least the producers were honest enough to admit it.
I Liked this re-make and it deserved a longer run; however the original NBC version was the best with the original organ music after a clue was correctly answered. This remake was worked against the panel game shows of the day, especially "Match Game " so they added extra celebrities. Tom Kennedy said in an interview he liked the original version better ---this one just didn't work as well... ABC had no other place on its daytime schedule for "The Edge of Night" so they gave "you Don't Say ! " the ax. Sadly, we never saw the week with the kids that Tom plugged on the air in late November . Makes you wonder if there were unaired episodes that are sitting in ABC's vaults but I tend to think these shows were erased as was Tom's other show "Split Second" and the ABC Password.
Despite Tom’s interview You Don’t Say would have fared better at 2:30pm after The $10,000 Pyramid on ABC’s schedule back in 1975 and would have gotten at least 39 weeks.
The show is an engaging and fun to play game. Though many call the game a ripoff I think the show serves as a unique compliment to Password and Pyramid Pretty substantial lineup of guests to premiere. The commercials were a plus too. Compliments to the uploader.
This revival was crystal clear clean especially for the Monday, July 7, 1975 premiere! It's hard to believe that both NBC and ABC erased both versions of "You Don't Say!" I know some of the show's still exist somewhere. "You Don't Say!" first and originally ran on NBC daytime from 1963-1969 and ran in prime time as well. The short-lived ABC 1975 daytime revival ran for short time. The 1978-1979 syndicated TV revival of "You Don't Say!" was hosted by Jim Peck. Tom Kennedy was unable to host that version because he was hosting "Name That Tune" by then was titled "The $100,000 Name That Tune" for another Ralph. Ralph Edwards.
I love this 1975 version of “You Don’t Say.” Commercials on the show are retro, clear, and very memorable. RIP Tom Kennedy

Also premiering on that same day the short lived Showoffs and over on NBC The Magnificent Marble Machine
@@paulculler3800 "Showoffs" premiered on June 30. "All My Children" did a week long trial-run of 60 minute episodes.
Thanks for leaving the old ads in ...takes me back ...I can act most of them out ...I was TV BABY
Loretta Swit is the last survivor among the host & celebrities. She's still active at autograph shows.
This version of YDS! went off the air on11/28/1975. 4 months and 3 weeks after it premiered.

The PC bureaucrats would never allow that commercial to air today.
with the young bobby brady
I wasn't expecting to lose Tom this year; my prayers to the Narz family.
Such a good game show, thank you!
Sherman Hemsley on a Game Show
MrMix83 IIRC, he was also a guest of “Liar’s Club”. Only way I knew was seeing reruns on USA Network.
Last game show he did: Celebrity Millionaire.
Didn't he also appear on H2 Hollywood Squares(with the "Square Biz" theme and the center square of the week)?
He also appeared on Figure It Out in 1998. I think he's the only panelist on that version who has since passed on.
So observant.

Thanks for this! What a fun game!
Not exactly Password, is it?
This is a gold mine.

🤟 Bob Crane 🌹 thx for uploading this
Looks like Tom Kennedy (aka James Narz) wasted no time after the finish of SPLIT SECOND weeks earlier to start hosting again with THIS show.
Aired 49 years ago today (7/7/24)
at 13:23, it's Meredith MacRae in the Playtex bottle commercial.
You are AMAZING!
27:25 - "I guess if I could only use one word to describe my wife, I'd sound like an idiot."
I guess if I could only use ONE word to describe my wife, I'd use TWO words to describe my wife....

Someone told me years ago that while the original YDS! was like PASSWORD, this version was a bit like the 1970s MATCH GAME in its look.
i was just a baby when this aired
Holy Morgan Fairchild in that Playtex ad
Morgan Fairchild looks great for her age
Playtex
Deodorant
Tampons
A Definite Improvement
Now we know!
19:35- Morgan Fairchild.
This is just like that game Mad Gab!
Unlike most ABC game shows, this one taped at the Olive Studios in Burbank.
From M*A*S*H, Loretta Swit... From AMEN, Sherman Hemsley... From HOGAN'S HEROES, Bob Crane... And From FALCON CREST, Abby Dalton
No one noticed when the basket disappeared?
GREAT PERSON
This is a fun game. I wouldn't mind if possible seeing Buzzr pick up this show
Provided that there are any episodes that weren't erased just to save on expensive videotape. 📼
Is that prize description music cue is the same on Tom's other game Name That Tune? Kinda sounds like it is.
Bob Crane wasn't murdered much later.
20:22 Cheryl Tiegs for Noxzema
New York?
spoilers.....
I'm amazed they almost said Faulty Towers for The Eiffel Tower lol.
Has a Battlestars look
Not bad
Replaced the money maze I loved the money maze
How? Just...HOW?!
Carruthers had his own company by this point but still dabbled in other producers' shows?
It wasn't uncommon for most people to do that. Plus, I think he was obligated to do more game shows for Ralph Andrews.
It wasn't uncommon. Hell Monty Hall hosted Beat the Clock in 1979-80 for a contractual obligation.
Same with the 1978 pilot, "Whew!".
@@Rlotpir1972 He directed some early episodes of Whew!
Sounds like a Nicholas cage gameshow
ANNOUNCER
Announcer was John Harlan.
Worked on the original "You Don't Say" in the 1960s as well along with "Name That Tune" later.
