Make a Face, which I don't think I've ever heard of before in my life.

How often do you see a ticket for Number Please?

The Comedy Club is another one I've never heard of.  Jim McKrell hosting.

[aaaa]

Comedy Club was www.usgameshows.net/x.php?show=ComedyClub&sort=0


Make a Face was hosted by Bob Clayton on ABC daytime in 1961-62 and on ABC Saturday mornings in 1962. Contestants tried to ID famous celebrity by spinning revolving wheels on portions of a face. Whomever guessed the celebrity won a prize.

Some more Collyer ABC goodies.

Were the ABC runs of Beat the Clock and Number Please live? Seems like they were. Notice how close the showtime was to broadcast; ABC BTC was on at 3:00 p.m. From 1963 to 1965, The Price Is Right taped at The Ritz.

"Hey Chuck, we need a good ad image for Operation: Entertainment, got any suggestions?" "This picture of me looking like I just got out of the toilet after the worst diarrhea I've ever had in my life to go onto a street in the middle of a snowstorm will do us good." "OK." www.ebay.com/itm/Operation-Entertainment-Chuck-Barris-Rare-Original-Promo-Poster-Ad-Framed/292216749799?hash=item440979bee7:g:HngAAOSw0AxZk8Y4

Barris was offbeat enough that I could see that conversation taking place.

carpetcrawler , I noticed some of the ABC Tickets on eBay were listed as "SOLD: January 21, 2020", They were for Family Feud, and they included one from 1978, one from 1980, and the two tickets to both weeks of the ABC Soap Stars/Real Families specials. Were you the one who purchased those from eBay? Curious.

Oh, and speaking of Family Feud, look at this.

I must say, I really like how they designed this ticket. I've seen the one for Saints Vs. Sinners (from 1982) also designed like this.

That was not me!!  The only one I've bought recently was one for Password Plus.

A ticket to Richard Dawson's first (and locally-produced) game show Lucky Pair.

Even if I knew about this it's a little too high of an asking price, but an incomplete 16mm film of a children's game show was floating around on eBay recently:

From what I could find (rather difficult since the show's title is a common phrase, Newspapers.com's search function ignores the "?!", and the eBay listing has almost nothing to go off of), stations in at least New York, Maryland, and Kentucky aired a program called Do You Know? around 1963. Could've been a syndicated show or franchised format.

The book seen in one of the pictures, The Story of Painting for Young People, was first published in 1952. I couldn't find anything on whether the copy seen there was a then-more-recent reprint.

An episode of Dr. IQ, available as a 16mm film.  No idea if it exists on the circuit or not: www.ebay.com/itm/16mm-Sound-B-W-TV-Game-Show-Dr-IQ-1950-s-Kinescope-Hazel-Bishop-800-vg/124250128558?hash=item1cede280ae:g:S88AAOSw40dfA7o~

This one is definitely not in the circuit.
