- Here's a treat for my fellow game show fans: a very rare classic game show, transferred from an original 16mm kinescope in my personal collection, it's the 5th episode of Say When!! starring Art James.
Thank you for sharing these gems!
A new episode of Say When! Thank you so much! Art James would be surprised.
What a joy to see this! My young friends and I used to watch this back in the day and never missed an episode. We even created our own 'home version' for many hours of fun. Thanks for posting!
Wayne Howell not only did this show, but he was the voice of Concentration in its later years and the Miss American Pageant for many years.
I remember this episode! I was in first grade, and was home sick with the Chicken Pox.
Oh thank you so much!!! I’ve only seen two episodes of the show, the pilot and another episode. I wish there were more. But I’m so glad to find a new one (to me anyway). It’s shows like this that I wish I could make a comeback.
I turned 8 years old on that same day. Now I'm 70. My gosh!
Interesting! It's a rare show all right! I've never heard of it, and I'm a huge classic TV buff. Anyway, thank you for the upload! I love watching the old "What's My Line" episodes from the 1950s on UA-cam, so I was definitely interested to see this!! Again, many thanks!
Awesome, Thank you for uploading this. My brother, Dolf, was born January 21, 1961, one day after JFK was inaugurated and 15 days after this episode aired.
Rumor has it that this inspired the show "Give 'N Take" created by Bill Caruthers.
Thank you a MILLION times over for posting this. Don't figure out my age, but I remember watching this program on my days off from school--this was when the quotidian television fare consisted of game shows, daytime dramas (a/k/a soap operas), and reruns of popular television programs, particularly situation comedies.
I also give thanks for the glory of You Tube.
This is the first time I see this game show, really neat, has a good pace, makes you think in a restricted time format, I think it would work today
I vaguely remember this game show.
Probably watched it, as a kid.
It APPEARS to be a parody of "The Price is Right"; which at the time (1961) was an enormously popular game show, with host Bill Cullen.
NOTE that Art James mentions Montgomery Ward --- a venerable retailer from yesteryear.
This is edge of your seat excitement! LOL
Thanks for posting this ( with the Original Commercials in tact ) i watched the one that was posted sometime back from ( i believe ) 1969 with the 2 ladies playing against each other. This one was way before James did the Marble Machine. please post more of these if availible.
Wow - great find. Sustaining, which is interesting.
This episode has paid commercials--not sustaining.
@@tomservo56954 Sorry - thanks for clarifying!
The program had commercials, but there was space to insert local commercials to the program.
Also, because of the Quiz Show Scandals, the FCC made it illegal to have corporate sponsor names directly displayed during the program (panel shows were exempted for a time, before this practice ended by around 1963).
@LaptopLarry330 And the network would run a promo/PSA if the local station didn't cut away because it didn't sell the time.
Art James, whose given name was Arthur Simeonovich Efimchick. His parents didn't know when to ... "say when".
Big deal! Arthur Simeonovich Efimchicks are a dime a dozen!
He’s a little dull
Where on earth have you found these kinescopes? Thank you for posting them, though. This was one of my favorite game shows when I was a little kid. I had the home version too and played it with my family. About 15 years later, I was a contestant on the 3W's with Art James. He was a great host.
Art James was a great host. It is so sad that so little of his work survives. I was also a big fan of The Who, What, or Where Game. Would LOVE to see more of those.
16:05 😂😂😂😂😂😂 just my sense of humor...
This reminds me of Pass the Line, one of the deadliest game shows ever.
Thank you!
Did Art James intentionally flip a bird at the 0:40 mark? Or was that just a random eyebrow rub?
A 28 piece set of Le Creuset for $234??? You couldn’t get a lid for that now.
11:09 CLUTCH!
You can kinda see the scanline separating the middle of the screen of this kinescope.
Pretty addictive for the time.
crazy stuff
Wow! From the very first week Say When was on the air! Camouflage, hosted by Don Morrow, premiered the very next week. Those were the days.
You hit me where I live with Camouflage. I loved that show.
Yes, I guess I'm slightly giving away my age (21-plus).
How about that? Aired precisely 25 years to the day before the $1 million COAL premiered. Also Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak. (Not to mention 1-6-61 is a palindrome.)
I can only think of one other game show that used a guitar for main music - the daytime "Let's Make a Deal."
Well, Ivan Ditmars had other instruments in his LMAD Orchestra besides a guitar, but it was very predominant. With Say When, it was just Carmen Mastren and his guitar. Quite a unique sound.
I like that game that game i also love whats my line
SAY WHEN! was produced by Goodson/Todman for NBC. The contestants were well dressed.😢
Has a lot of elements of The Price is Right, unsurprisingly, as that was also Goodson/Todman.
@@mcfunwow Goodson-Todman virtually OWNED the game show industry.
was that les paul playing those short fills during the prize reveals?
No, it was Carmen Mastren.
Any other game shows you got?
I have more game shows on film, and will be posting them as time permits.
@@chumrain nice! Can't wait to see 'em!
@@witherblazeSame here
3:12
Introduced by Wayne Howell.
Sounds like Roger Tuttle on the "Bell Telephone Hour" promo at the end.
The show was a flop. It ran three months. There was a home game though!
Say When!! ran 4 1/4 years on NBC.
It ran from January 1961 to March 1965.
i forgot how sexist
Go away with your load of crap.
That game was so rigged omg.
