Tattletales

It might be a little corny now, but I love the old celebs, the clothes from back in the day, the old products on the ads, etc. Thanks, Buzzr, as it's like watching TV as a kid again.

One of the worst game shows ever. I imagine people who care about worthless celebrities would enjoy this garbage.

This was an extremely funny game show and my favorite at the time. The guest panelists included Bob Newhart, Don Rickles, and Dick Martin of Rowan & Martin among many others. The answers to questions asked by host Burt Convy were often hilarious! A totally enjoyable half hour!

I wasn't old enough to appreciate the show during its original run, but I'm surely enjoying the re-runs on BUZZR in 2023. To the reviewer who wrote the guests were barely "C" list celebs. NOT TRUE! Ann-Margret, Buddy Ebsen, Lynn Anderson, William Shatner, Patty Duke, Redd Foxx, Dionne Warwick, Milton Berle, etc. Would have hardly be considered "C" list celebs in the '70s. I'm thankful BUZZR is re-running these gems, as well as Match Game.

Each week, there's usually a BIG name celeb guest/their spouse, and the other two celeb guests may be "B'' list celebs ... but still fun to watch. I'm actually surprised some of the racy answers were allowed to air back then. This was an era when people (even celebs) had some decorum and, unlike today, you actually knew the celebs - be they "A" or "B" list.

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.
