Oh my word, the introduction: "these are children that no-one wanted..." Kids getting introduced with that kind of label to carry throughout their lives 😢
If you listen carefully, the announcer sounds like he's reading an introduction written by the mother who adopted these kids, it said sign Julie Lerke
The PC police hadn't come about yet.
@@IPlayOneOnT.V. Things are way better now with the word police ensuring justice is done.
Kitty Carlisle was quite a lady. I've noticed how solicitous she is when any of the other panelists seems to be in distress. Kind heart.
Sweet how Tom Poston shook hands with the little boy who seemed to be off on his own not knowing what to do.
Did you see the way Peggy Cass hoisted and hugged one of the children during the closing ? Obviously loves kids. :)
Margaret Lerke Woody you had the luckiest parents ever
Peggy Cass and Kitty Carlisle were wonderful ladies!!!
The 'broadcaster'was very uncaring to say such a thing in front of these beautiful kids!!!
I think it was less about uncaring and more about being plain stupid.
The questions asked would have been frowned upon today!
My adopted mother fostered 55 children.
Thanks for posting this show. I really enjoy TTTT and this was a good one!
UGH - what a horrible intro to the adopted kids - I'm sure a lot o people would have wanted these sweet kids :D
Best episode of TTTT ever!!
Thats nice of the show to give them a savings bond.
This episode originally aired in color.
0:10 “You are looking at 9 children _nobody wanted.”_ THE DISRESPECT Johnny O.!
Also, $250 and Government bonds for each children - quite a good day work.
By 1967, substantially fewer shows were broadcast in black and white. That being said ; To Tell The Truth was late to the game when it came to transitioning to color.
By now the show was airing in color...but due to the cost of tape, archival tapes were usually in B&W.
How incredibly insensitive TTTT was by mentioning how 'nobody wanted these kids' right in front of them. By their own admission, one set of parents died so it's not like they were all tossed out like a bag of rubbish. And even if they were, I found their lack of empathy deplorable. Nothing like giving children a complex to carry with them into adulthood.
The 50's and 60's (in retrospect) was chock full of stupidity on many levels.
Yes, that was, as they say, cringe-worthy
The fact is that she even wrote a book with that title. It was no secret.
@@Chuck0856 Actually, no. That was a completely different family.
The Family Nobody Wanted was written be Helen Doss about her mixed race family which is a different family than this one.
Well, it was the truth.
I am Margaret, one of the Lerke children.
Correct name is Julie Arnette Lerke (1922 - 2019).
This Channel Host SELDOM ever gets the names right, which just boggles the mind. 🤔
Looking at it another way, Johnny was only reading what was on the copy... he didn't write it. Granted he could've said something to suggest something better, but I guess at the time he was just following orders.
What a dreadful thing to say about those children not being wanted.
Kitty Carlisle Hart’s last appearance on TTTT was in 2000 and she passed away in 2007 at age 96. th-cam.com/video/xSyTb9e09ts/w-d-xo.html
Looks like Kitty's wearing a helmet !!!!
According to Julie Lerke's obituary she eventually expanded her family to include 18 adopted children plus the two she already had. She lived to be 96.

Man #1 in Game #3 Some of the 100 audience members given the chance to vote didn't always vote. In Game #1, only 84 voted. In Game #2, 92 voted, and in Game #3, 87 voted.
I had just turned 2 years old April 13th ❤️
To Tom Poston's point of how the Magyars fall in with Hungarians, I've learned in the past that the people don't appreciate the term "Hungarians" and refer to themselves as "Magyars."
I remember seeing the family on the Mike Douglas show and thought it would make an excellent movie. I don't know if the story had a happy ending or not but even in the best families and best of circumstances things sometimes don't turn out well. I recall the mother relating some of the stories that happened to the kids and she was pissed off (as well she should be) She seemed ahead of her time as a strong woman. But I could be all wrong, I don't know the backstory.
I KNEW IT WAS HER
All the Maria's had pleasant features.
Ok, beautiful Miss USA 1966 went on to become an astrophysicist!
When I saw the father of the nine children I knew the mother couldn't be contestant #1. She looked way too old. But, hopefully knowing home economics she was able to give some money-saving tips to the mom of 11 kids.
Back when TV was worth watching. Kitty Carlisle was always the epitome of Class.
Three gorgeous women.
Of course, living on a farm, the first group had many animals to tend to, the most famous of whom was the great (drumroll, please)... Turkey Lurky.😖 (Which is why they chose not to name any of their children, especially the clumsier ones, "Sky". [Ba-da-DUM])
its Lerke
salute to the athletes for highlighting the extraordinary superiority of the soviet system!
It's Luerke, not Lurkey
Mia Farrow?
Ugh. "That's the right answer as to what you are going to do." Back then ALL women were expected to get married.
Men too. I know, the horror of having a family. How dare people! /sarcasm
Kitty's hair =helmet.
Boodlepest.
Russian food IS good... just an fyi Kitty
Na Zdorovie! (Nostrovia!)
Rather than taking the time to learn the children's actual names, they gave them nice christian names to make it easy for stupid people.
If you were trying to be funny, I can GUARANTEE you weren't!
@@kristabrewer6736 It wasn't a joke. Only an idiot would think that.
Glad to know it worked for you!
@@geraldkatz7986 That;s your attempt at a snarky remark? Better luck next time.
