This was the greatest 'game' show of all time by miles. The guests and the panelists were invariably fascinating, articulate and dignified. Sadly we'll never see another show like this again.
What an honor to have seen her!! My grandmother was one of the family's nurses at Warm Springs, Georgia. One of the great ladies of history.--Tom Reilly
Reading of Mrs. Roosevelt's visit to the Pacific to meet US troops in WW2 brought me to tears - her visit gave the troops something they had not seen in a very long time - a mother figure.
The men always stood up when the contestant came to greet them at the end, but it was very rare for the women to do so. That just shows how much respect they felt towards Eleanor Roosevelt.
@@Countrygirltori24 Frank Lloyd Wright also received that honor about three years later. I don't how many others, but the list is quite short for sure.
Also she was instrumental in getting better benefits, wages and treatment of African Americans during the implementation of “the new deal” during FDR’s second term.
The most consequential first lady in U.S. history and her husband was one of the three greatest presidents we have ever had. The other two were gentlemen named Lincoln and Washington.
That’s OK - this is history. The goal is to learn from the past so you will recognize passive greatness again, when you see it… For example Rosalyn Carter! 🙏👍🏼❤️
What's ironic is that the adults of the 50s are responsible for why the world is the way it is today. After the trauma of the depression and the war, They wanted to give their children the greatest and happiest life possible and that came with spoiling them with a bunch of material crap and going above and beyond to give them whatever they wanted. As a result, they raised a generation of self-righteous, self-absorbed brats. All of a sudden the '70s became the "Me Decade" And the '80s became the decade where greed was suddenly a virtue and not a sin.
I'm pretty sure she was our greatest First Lady in history, both during her time in the White House and after. A remarkable woman and person any way you slice it.
They don't make many women like Eleanor Roosevelt. Feminists today think being a feminist means being angry, trashy, and disrespectful and criticize men as much as possible. Eleanor Roosevelt was able to do extraordinary things for the world while retaining consistent grace and dignity. I would even liken her to Audrey Hepburn in a way.
She deserves a little credit for bringing the Democratic party to the party civil rights. She brought the issues to her husband's attention, who did what he could in his time period. But he had to worry about Southern Democrats. It took awhile to become a solid issue of the whole party, but she did have a small, early role. Too bad she couldn't talk her husband out of Japanese internment.
This is probably the most esteemed guest they ever had on this show!

It was educational and entertaining, not like most of the garbage that is on TV now.

What a truly magnificent woman !
It would have the highest honor to shake Mrs. Roosevelt's hand.
Boy, people really had manners back then. Notice how they all stand to shake hands with Mrs. R when she departs. Very classy.

@@Countrygirltori24I don't know why women never stood. It's bizarre how people determine social norms
This series premiered about 14 months before I was born. I remember watching this show every week , with my mom , as I was growing up.
Very-very happy and great honor to see Her Excellency Eleanor Roosevelt alive on TV.
The definition of "First Lady"
if we need Eleanor Roosevelt we need her now god 🙏 back
Oh now that WAS fun! I remember this program with a lot of fondness and smiles.
What a treat! The greatest First Lady of all time.
Yes: her dedication to America is legendary: fearless, intelligent and much-loved was Eleanor
exactly what I thought
Also she was instrumental in getting better benefits, wages and treatment of African Americans during the implementation of “the new deal” during FDR’s second term.
The only first lady with four terms as first lady.
Love her facial expressions in parts.
I quite agree with you Randy Bailin. And Eleanor Roosevelt was the greatest First Lady of all time by miles.
thank you for uploading!
This was such fun, and would be very educational for the children of our nation of any era.
Absolutely charming. This woman is a history lesson all by herself!
Wow! Thank you Mr. Dan Rather for upload.
Great program and great guest!!!!
Love this! I am a huge admirer of Eleanor Roosevelt. Currently reading her etiquette book. Read a biography about her! She was a great lady!
Yes and a la#y in the proper usage
Eleanor Roosevelt was a Boss
My grandma met Elenore Roosevelt when she was young. My grandma said she was a very kind lady.
Love you ER!
Best of the best.
The most consequential first lady in U.S. history and her husband was one of the three greatest presidents we have ever had. The other two were gentlemen named Lincoln and Washington.
. Great First LADY.
A great lady..The mind reels that anybody else could be considered for being on any American money..
She would have been absolutely thrilled that Harriet Tubman was chosen for the $20
I was only 2 years old when this was recorded!
Depending on when the show was filmed I would have been in my mom's belly or in my crib .
That’s OK - this is history. The goal is to learn from the past so you will recognize passive greatness again, when you see it… For example Rosalyn Carter! 🙏👍🏼❤️
I love it!
Absolutly miss the way our world used to be as this great woman exempifies!!

Dorothy got very giddy when she discovered who the guest was.
Notice they all stand for her.
Yeah....I can't remember ever seeing the entire panel rise for anyone else
Of course Dorothy got it right, she was the only one that was allowed to hear the guest speak. A major advantage.
Unusually, the female panellists stood to shake hands.
She was very hard of hearing near the end. She was almost deaf and you can tell by her face she’s having some trouble hearing.
Once upon a time, this country had manners.....
Pretty cool
Very nice show ... Dorothy was smart girl when she discovered who the guest was!!
thx

And recall Mrs. R's stunning defense of Marian Anderson in 1939 and the amazing concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
She has her purse!
Boy, what a down hill ride it’s been from this magnificent woman to (ugh!) Melania.
Into cesspool
I think Melania has been a lot better than Jill Biden and Michelle Obama to name a couple.
She' would have made a superb president
Yeah he was an idiot. FDR hated him for trying to get gossip that would hurt Mrs. R.
