    Memories of Good Game Shows

    The description of the show has already been written about so I'm not going to repeat it here.

    I used to watch Tattletales when it was first on but not everyday - I was a kid. A few months ago, our cable company added the BUZZR channel which is all old game shows from "What's my Line?" to "Let's Make a Deal" to "Tattletales", etc.

    For the first few days, I didn't change the channel - watching the game shows brought back so many good memories.

    Tattletales is one of my favorite shows on the channel. (It seems every other game show was hosted by Bert Convy!) The people on the show looked so loose, everyone there seemed to be having fun - I just love it.

    Way back, I took all of the shows for granted. Now, while I am thankful for what is on BUZZR, I've noticed many of the shows that I watch are one year only such as "Match Game '78" so there are a lot of reruns already for most of the shows, if not all. I hope other years of these game shows are added plus adding other shows to their network such as Tic Tac Dough. (Yes, I'm greedy!)

    Back to "Tattletales" - From the tacky green fake grass look on the set to the outfits worn then to hearing a bit about the celebrities lives, I love it all now. (One thing I do is look up the celebrities to see if they stayed married to their spouse from the show).

    It's kind of bittersweet, though, to watch all of the old game shows. I look at the celebrities and so many are gone or very old. On shows such as Tattletales, they were young and vibrant. Even the hosts such as Bert Convy - gone... but, on the other hand, we're lucky to have them on video. And Tattletales was/is funny.

    I believe there was something in the credits that, while the contestants didn't have the questions, they were interviewed about certain subjects in general so I think that's why the celebrities were so quick at the buzzer.

    Very funny show till...

    Watching today and it made me very angry. The bit about sooooooooooo many husbands who cheat on their wives. Well I have 4 things to point out! 1) I have been married twice. The first one lasted only 4 years and I will give you three guesses why!!!!!! 2) My second marraige has lasted 35 as of last July 18thwith NOBODY cheating! 3) Between marraiges I had someone I thought was specaisl till I found out she was married. 4) When a married man does cheat does he turn homosexual? I highly doubt it! So it is women the men cheat with so why aren't the women partly responcible as I would doubt none of knew! And if all these women who cheat with married men get pregnant so what they can just murder the HELPLESS humman, and this bullsh.. about ot not being human show me one time when a woman goes full term and produces a toaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Some great moments

    Funny, I had forgotten about this little gem from my early adult years when it appeared again recently on one of the oldies TV cable channels which have sprouted up. Hosted by Bert Convy, the perfect man for this job, the show featured three celebrity couples competing on behalf of their slice of the studio audience. There were two types of questions used, in retrospect the ones that worked best were asked to each couple. The guys might answer while the wives off stage were turned off, then the wives came in on little TVs below their husbands and answered - if they matched they won money for their audience. It plays better than it sounds, I mean, where else can you find out whether Abe Vigoda thinks that the attractiveness of your partner adds to your romantic pleasure? (So bizarre and traumatic a TV moment that I recall it vividly some 40 years later) The review here that talks about washed up stars is off, at the time these were generally legit celebrities, including Stiller & Meara, always great. It probably won't work for someone under 40 but I have enjoyed tuning in.

    Classic show

    I love the 70's I can't say enough about it. I am a 1975 baby and I started watching these at a young age with my mom. I was excited to see they are on stream. I just love how you get to know the actors life and what they looked like back then and now most of them sadly have gotten divorced but they sure appear so happy and I love that.

    Middling show with suggestive questions

    Sophia Petrillo references the show on a Golden Girls episode. I had never seen or heard of this show. Now on Buzzr I find it a curious relic from the 70s. I see that Joan Collins and John Astin are the only two living guests I identify. I am now more acquainted with 70s TV personalities.

    Because I didn't own a TV in those years or I was working. So I enjoy some guests like Julie London and Ron Masak. Convey pumps the guests to be risque then acts embarrassed. He shushes the audience a lot. The show is ok. It's the Newlyweds game with celebrities. A show I watched in the sixties when I fantasized being a contestant. A curiosity is pairing two gay celebrities as a romantic couple: Fannie Flagg and Dick Sargent If they revive it they can book Mario Cantone and husband. And others who are open. Times have changed from closeted 70s.

    • Trivia
      In the earlier episodes in Season 1, Bert Convy would announce that the audience members would go home with their winnings that day due to their "check writing machine". Goodson-Todman did this to save on postage as most payments to contestants were sent out by postal mail.
