GSN WML? Question
Adam Seigel
wasn't very familiar with many of the shows on it as I am now. Anyway,
when I first turned it on, it was sometime in the early afternoon, and an
ep. of WML? was on. Now here's the question. Does anyone know what
version they showed at that time then? It was a color episode but I
remember a mostly yellow set, not like the blue used on the Bruner and
Blyden shows. Coold this have been a color Daly episode? I didn't think
GSN had the episode of it color, just the B&W kinescopes. So can anyone
clear this up for me? Thanks in advance.

The WML episodes that GSN has run in the afternoons have always been from
the syndication run. The John Daly episodes have only run in early morning
and prime time.

It was probably a 1974 Blyden ep....thats the year the set became all yellow
and they changed the theme to a funky number and the panelists stopped
introducing themselves...Cat

Sounds like they're the mid-late 1974 Blyden eps with the red/yellow set
(looks sort of like the "Hot Dog Stand theme Windows 3.1 had). Why they
(G/T) went with that motif is beyond me...

I think the B/W Kinescopes are all that exist of the CBS version with Daly.
Of the primetime CBS WML, To Tell The Truth, and I've Got a Secret the only
color show of those that still exists is a 1967 TTTT that Game Show Network
has. I wouldn't be surprised however if someone someday found a color tape
of one of the others. The show you MAY have seen could have been from the
last season done in 1974-75 with Blyden. They did an extensive remodeling of
the set for that last year.

I wonder if any CBS affiliates in the western part of the US that aired "WML"
by tape delay might have shelved the last show or others for historical
purposes? If only...

GSN has all of the WMLs don't they? The fact is....the networks didn't keep
their NEWS in color until the mid 70s....so the color WMLs probably weren't
kept though it was filmed in color by the early 60s...Cat

"What's My Line?" did not switch to color until it's last season in the Fall of
1966. In a July broadcast, Daly still refers to the show being done in B/W and
TV Guide ads of the day highlight the color switch that fall.
Gil Fates once told me that the reason why G-T only had kinescopes saved of
their primetime shows was because CBS only charged them about $10 for a
kinescope reel which from their standpoint must have made more economic sense
than having expensive tape reels saved of the broadcasts. Bob Stewart clearly
had some kind of different arrangement concerning nighttime Password since it
is the only primetime show that was saved in its original videotape format, as
opposed to kinescope.
