I’m sorry to tell you this, but odds are you probably won’t see the episode ever again because back in the 60s and 70s it was a common practice to wipe episodes of TV shows. This was due to the high cost of tape. I only wish we had more episodes of PDQ, or it’s 1970s equivalent, Baffle.

The contestant missed "BOARD" in the bonus game because of mistake on the part of the show: the three letters being shown to the contestant were BDR - when they should have been BRD. That's why he was guessing words like BEDROOM. Apparently no one caught this.

It's my understanding that the pilot of "PDQ" was taped in black-and-white, but all of the episodes of the actual series itself were taped in color, even back in 1965. However, early on, some stations aired the show either on black-and-white tape or color kinescopes.

The late great Dennis James way before the night time version of The Price Is Right in 1972.

Dennis James was one of the first TV personalities. I think he was involved in experimental TV in 1939.

He hosted several game shows,I remember one called Your First Impression.

Dennis James was one of the best game show hosts ever.This was rebooted in 1973 as Baffle and ran about a year.

The episode I most recall had Don Rickles in the booth and they ended up GIVING all the prizes to the contestant as Don kept cutting insults for the entire show, and Dennis James couldn't stop laughing.

NO NO ! Dennis James said, over and over " PDQ means Pretty Darn Quick ! "

I thought it was because the main sponsor was the company that made an Ovaltine type chocolate drink product named P.D.Q.

According to Wikipedia, the PDQ for this show meant "Please Draw Quickly." It only means "pretty darn quick" everywhere else.

I wonder if they caught this. At 26:16, (BDR) is "boarder" while at 26:30, (BDR) is "board". The 26:30 clue should likely have been (BRD).

0:40- the Broadway show Dick Patterson co-starred with Carol Burnett (at the time this was taped) was "Fade Out Fade In", which REOPENED in February 1965- after Carol had been out with a neck injury and involved as a rotating hostess of "THE ENTERTAINERS" for CBS- and finally closed for good in April.

Sadly, the 1965 pilot is the only surviving episode of PDQ.

I read another episode of "PDQ" exists from October 3, 1968. Celebrities were: Stubby Kaye, Jo Ann Worley and Arte Johnson (Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In). The episode is held at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

I read where Dennis James kept recordings of all his episodes from this series. But the public has only this episode and another recording to access at the UCLA archive. It is too bad because Michael Landon used to go on the show and KILL words with only one or two letters! He would blow everyone’s mind with his brilliance.

"PDQ" should stand for "Please Draw Quickly".

That is exactly what PDQ stood for.

I have a vague recollection of a rule change instituted maybe after this pilot: You must use the first letter but NOT the first three in the opening display. I say that because Giselle used the first three letters in the first two words.

For the first round ("Humdinger"), the contestant did something that was illegal on the revised version (Baffle)-using the first three letters, which would have resulted in a 15-second penalty.

i forget was this a network show or one of thoose syncated shows
