Found Photos taken in 1964 live off roundie

Neat pictures. Is that Bob barker in the last photo? Looks kind of like him.

Skinny ties are the best. They never should have gone out of style. Wearing one these days provokes one to comment on it who isn't in our "click" at work. "you look like you came out of 1965 wearing that". haha. Other engineers at work are basically the same, everyone else thinks we're total nerds (basically any non-engineer). We just tell them to go back to their rectangular prisons. (If you're a math nerd and analytical, you'll get that stupid joke right away.)

LOL. I get it, that's funny. Cubicles suck!

This thread really takes me back. I can remember when NBC had game shows on almost all morning after nine, and yes, one of them was "You Don't Say!" hosted by Tom Kennedy. Another was "Concentration" hosted by Hugh Downs, also an NBC show in the '60s, a third was the original "Jeopardy!" with Art Fleming...and the list goes on.

Another of my favorites in the 70s, which is now in reruns on the Game Show Network (GSN), which I watch every afternoon, was "Card Sharks" hosted by Jim Perry. I like hearing his acknowledgement of the author of the show's opening poem, where the person is from and on what station he or she is watching the program.

Why NBC decided to drop these wonderful game shows is beyond me, especially since ABC and CBS are still running the new "Price is Right" and others, and the shows are holding up well in the ratings.

"The Hollywood Squares" with Peter Marshall was another of my favorite game shows of the seventies. I'll never forget the time, on one of the programs (don't recall what year), the lights burned out behind one of the X and O indicators in front of the desks the stars were sitting at (for want of a better phrase), or else something went wrong with the control circuits and the bulbs wouldn't illuminate. They had whomever was sitting at that desk write the letters "X" and "O" on a sheet of paper and attach it to the front of the indicator. Another time I remember watching the original "Price is Right" with Bill Cullen and the price indicator in front of one of the stars' positions either went crazy, showing random numbers, or burned out during the program--while the show was on the air! I haven't seen anything like that since.

Ah, memories. Television will never be the same again, even with the prime-time and syndicated game shows now on the networks. The golden age of televised game shows was and will always be, to me, anyway, the years all three networks ran these programs, years (decades) before syndication. I think NBC dropped all their game shows not long after the network was sold to GE from RCA. The prime-time and syndicated game shows now seen on NBC stations cannot match that great lineup of such programs on the network from the 1950s through the '80s.

I think the skinny ties are cool. I dress kind of retro and don't care. I have an old 1965 Rick Nelson Album where he is wearing a black and white check houndstooth sportcoat. I also saw the same sportcoat worn by one of the guys in that old 1961 film, Gidget Goes Hawaiian. I made a comment to myself that I wish those would come back in style. Several months later one turned up in a catalog. I flipped and ordered it. I had to go to a business lunch and wondered what others might think of my jacket. I wore it and everybody liked it and kept coming up and looking at it. I also wear slip on loafers, tortoise shell Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, and vintage 1960's wristwatches. Retro Rocks. Screw their opinions

That is too cool! Thanks for sharing!

Yup looks loke Bob Barker, maybe it IS Truth or Consequences but the set looks more like a standard game show with maybe contestants or celebrities (?)

I'm not makin' fun of skinny ties-Hell, they're a LOT easier to tie than the clown-width ones of the '70s.

Skinny black leather ties were very fashionable in the mid/late 1980s as well (at least in Australia anyways), here's an example of late 80s fashion http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=EFiCzg4FevA , the clip is also very funny too .

I dunno--kinda favors Tom Kennedy.

[ChrisW6ATV]

Nice pictures.

Do you suppose people in 20 years will miss all of the courtroom shows that are on today? I always liked game shows, too. "The Joker's Wild" was one of my favorites. Does anyone here remember "The Magnificent Marble Machine" with the giant pinball machine?

You hit a homerun with your statement,Jeff.I think a lot of it had to do with 'live tv" back in the 50's and into the 60's. One of my favorite game shows was "What's My Line".

A little studying shows that 'You Don't Say' with Tom Kennedy started in NBC daytime in '64 but my books don't give a time slot.

I started in '64, and yes, it was daytime....

Great photos - makes us "young 'uns" jealous of those who can remember when Color TV was new......

[QUOTE=John Hafer;2259358]Hi all,

In going through some old slides, I found these that I took back in 1964. These were taken off our 1963 Silvertone 21" roundie during a color broadcast of an NBC quiz show. They were taken with Anscochrome slide film and I processed the film myself in my old darkroom. I am sure there is some fading from these old slides but I wanted to share them with you.



True, Anscochrome was not known for image permanence as Kodachrome was, but much of the color shift is likely due to using a daylight film (balanced for roughly 6000K) for CRT recording (most CRT's are set for about 9300K).

I took screen shots off a CTC-38 for the first Columbia Space Shuttle mission, quite bluish when new.

When I take screen shots of my Zenith roundie with my digital camera they always turn out blue. Maybe a different white balance would help.
