There was a TV show that I remember watching when I was young. I seem to recall that my brother used to watch it with me. The show was called "Whirlybirds." It premiered in the spring of 1957. I couldn't have watched it then. I wasn't even one yet. The show ran until 1960. I watched it in reruns. I guess I liked Classic TV even when I was little.There are a lot of shows that I watched when I was little that you just can't watch on TV anymore. I wish you could find some of the old game shows on TV. I mean besides "Password", "I've Got A Secret", and "What's My Line?". I would like to see "Concentration" or maybe "Truth or Consequences". Or how about "The Art Linkletter Show". Boy, those were good shows.

Speaking of game shows, how many of you remember the game show scandal of the 1950's? Obviously I don't remember it. I have just read about it. If you would like to see the episode of "Twenty-One" with Gene Barry that was the beginning of the end, I have Part 1 posted below. You can watch it and then click through and watch Parts 2 & 3 on YouTube. Give it a watch. It changed TV game show history.© 2008 Barry T Horst
