Wow, how the English language has changed. We used to say a person was happy and gay when I was a kid too back in the day. Even some of the songs we sang, for example ' Don we now our gay apparel. ' Very interesting how international language is becoming as well due to technology.
Watching reruns of this show the early and later ones notice how Arlene’s appearances changed a lot ,meaning looking better,I believe that due to having some sort of cosmetic done...
NO, in the entire decade of the 1960s where I lived, I never saw a truck delivering ice. But I have seen, in the 1960s, a truck carrying Sparkletts water bottles; they were all large size only, all of them were stacked on top of each other, they were completely exposed (out in the open) and they were all made of glass. In 2019, I 've seen a Sparkletts truck a couple of days ago, now the bottles are completely hidden inside the truck. I saw the driver take out a medium-sized bottle.
What is an iceman? If it's something to do with making or eating ice, why would they imply that men got more enjoyment out of than women? and I was counting those 20 second for the consultations. Boy their 20 seconds goes by FAST!
An iceman delivers blocks of ice to the home. In the 50s when this was filmed iceman were commen because most people couldn't afford an electric refigerator/freezer. I was born in the 50s and even though we always had a refrigerstor/freezer we still called it an icebox. If you watch reruns of a show called the Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason you will see an icebox in their apartment on the set.
Before home refrigerators or freezers, people had insulated wooden boxes in their kitchens. An ice delivery man brought over a big block of ice to put in it. Kept the meats and milk cold. For a day or three.
Growing up in our small village in Wis. in the 60s/70s, there was an old man who had an ice and coal business (they often went together). In very hot weather, Dad would sometimes buy a large block of ice, put it in a washtub, and set a fan behind it. It served as a rudimentary form of air conditioning. We thought it was the height of gracious living.
How many years did it take them to ditch the stupid meet the panel and one free guess show components? Time wasting and often rude. Untermeyer and Hal Block were probably the two most annoying panelists. Steve Allen was amusing and not too often annoying but did you notice that he asked the last guest to bend over and touch his toes and then leaned forward to look at the man's backside. Kinda weird. More weird than a bread box for sure.
![What's My Line? - Milton Berle; Martin Gabel [panel] (Feb 16, 1958)](/img/n.gif)
I was born 22 day's after this episode aired. 😎
Love this show ! Just subscribed! Thanks for the upload.

I prefer the episodes with Dorothy as a panelist but others are fun too.
Dorothy and Arlene made the show, others like Steve Allen were a great addition.
Water in its liquid form is not considered a mineral, but in ice form it IS a mineral.

Steve Allen's *first show*. 3/4/51: Admiral William Halsey, mystery guest. [Steve Allen, Betty Furness, Louis Untermeyer, Arlene Francis]
Thank you!
Steve Allen was just 29 here!
So what? He's dead now.
@@blueduck5589 No kidding 😃
How did he make it into the show at such a young age without being an actor or radio personality?
Daley's smoke blows right into the guest's face.
and?
Ah yes. I remember back when we were free. Those were the days!
show more
I would have given a "yes" to the question about different elements (hydrogen + oxygen).
My parents got married in June of that year.
Wow. When did they get rid of the smoking on set?
The government no smoking, nor advertising!😊
Louie U. was a clunker in this show. Glad they brought in others.
10:30 PM seems awfully late for a game show to air.
7:30 pm on east coast😊
Untermeyer must have had senior moment; Admiral David Farragut died in 1870.
I thought he was joking.
What is that that men put in their hair in 1951? Bear grease?
It's pretty awful, isn't it?
@@YY4Me133brylcream😅
Smoking wow times were different and really old fashion (deliver ice) I thought this service was gone since WW II. Defrost is all I remember
Many church halls only had ice boxes well into the 60s. My dad's business included delivery of dry ice when our church had a social.
As of 1945, only have of the homes in the US had an electric refrigerator.
Untemeyer and his instincts were way off base during this show!
"Let me see." While he adjusts his blindfold.
He did more than adjust his blindfold.
This episode is special. For a change, then Dorothy in this episode - the first contestant - is attractive, not strange looking.

Bobby Francis - These were people who delivered ice to homes before electric refrigerators were invented apparently.
Bobby Francis - This was early 1950s so some things hadn't been invented yet. I don't think TVs had been invented yet either.
@@shirleyrombough8173 TV's were around in the 1930s, they needed more fixing and experimenting, because I believe TV's were blacking out then.
Steve Allen didn't host the Tonight Show yet, did he?
Bobby Francis
No. That began September 27, 1954.
SMOKING ON TV. bad bad bad

@@keithhyttinen8275 I wonder where they got enough ice for millions of households if the ice melted after just 1-3 days…..?
@kristabrewer9363
If you've ever watched _The Honeymooners,_ you've seen an icebox; the Kramdens had one in their kitchen.

I agree. That walk thing and hand examinations went on for four more years! Awful.
Marcus Charles are yoh related t I John Charles Daly
Rude to smoke so close to another John Daly!
Apparently it wasn’t rude yet in 1951.
