GamerTab That was an excellent one.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

atlasmb First let me say that Bud Collyer is one of the worst game show hosts ever. He's an okay guy, but he lacks charisma and has little sense of humor.As for the usual panelists, Kitty Carlisle is cut from the same cloth as Bud, but she does bring sophistication to the show. Tom Poston is likable, but not very funny. Peggy Cass, on the other hand, is a hoot. Orson Bean is a favorite of mine--clever, quick-witted and somewhat irreverent.Overall, the show entertains, but it falls far short of some other game shows of its era. For example, "What's My Line?" always features an intelligent, funny panel and is hosted by John Daley, who has a corny but cute sense of humor combined with a cosmopolitan body of knowledge and real style.

John T. Ryan FOR SOME STRANGE reason, this is one game show which has always seemed to just a cut above the others. Then (when we were kids) and now (Boomer Generation gray-beards) it held an unreasonably higher degree of fascination.PERHAPS WE COULD rack it up to "dumb luck" on the part of the producers, Mark Goodson & Bill Todman. However the team had successfully given us WHAT'S MY LINE?, I'VE GOT A SECRET, PASSWORD, THE MATCG GAME and many others; so there must have been some careful crafting involved here.STILL, WE MAINTAIN our position that this did stand out from the many other also-rans.PERHAPS IT HAS something to do with the cast. In the MC's chair, we had the former Radio voice of Clark Kent & SUPERMAN, Mr. Bud Collyer. The roll call of panelists is both long and distinguished; but we best remember: Kitty Carlisle, Tom Poston, Orson Bean*, Peggy Cass, Chester Morris, Dina Merrill, Betsy Palmer and many others.MORE THAN ANY other family oriented panel show, TO TELL THE TRUTH, invited and even demanded participation from the home viewer. As the panelists marked their cards as to which of the three contestants was the real person that he said he was, we were kept busy weighing their testimony and testing our own acumen as detectives.WHY THAT'S IT, Schultz! That's the secret of the show's success!

DKosty123 This is the same Goodson-Toddman who developed the Price is Right. Only this one is earlier. This is a great show though Bud Collyer actually slows down and sits on this show as the host. Compared to Beat The Clock this is slow motion. This is one of the great game shows of all time anyhow. All right folks - all three of these people claim to be Bart Starr, Quarterback of the Geen Bay Packers and this is his sworn affidavit. "I Bart Starr and with the 1st Super Bowl Championship Green Bay Packers. It was not always this way. When this program first started we only won 2 games that season with many of the same players including myself. The big change came when Mr. Lombardi came from the NY Giants to coach at Green Bay. At the same time Tom Landry, another Giants coach appeared on this program as an impostor. Now Mr Landry is the coach we seem to have to play every year with Dallas in order to win championships. How times change."Bud- now the 4 panelists will question our three Bart Starrs to try and determine who is the real quarterback of the Packers. Each wrong vote will award the challengers $250 with a possible $1000 dollars if all the votes are wrong.This is one of the great shows and Bud would close every show with the same you - "Now you all remember to Tell the Truth." Considering the whoppers being told today, times have changed. I loved this show as a kid. Made you think and see if you could do better than the panel.

Brian Washington Goodson-Todman were the innovators in terms of game shows. This show, as well as What's My Line and I've Got a Secret, made up that company's great triumvirate of classic panel game shows. I grew up mainly looking at the syndicated version that was on during the 1970's with Gary Moore as host, but I've recently started looking at the original black and white version. Although I preferred the Gary Moore hosted version, the black and white version is still a treat to look at. Also, you get to see the two mainstays of the show, Peggy Cass and Kitty Carlisle when they were a little younger. Also, Tom Poston and Orson Bean were great on this show as well. Poston had pretty much a great deadpan style and Bean was pretty much the clown prince of the show. This show will always remain one of the classic games to ever appear on television.
