As "square" of a show as "What's My Line" was by the late '60s-early '70s, it did make an effort to include big, current stars of the day that weren't necessarily catering to the show's demographics. And Wally Bruner was a terrific host; very conversational and engaging of both the panel and the contestants. Worth remembering: "What's My Line" celebrated people of relatively humble/mundane occupations right alongside the rich and famous. This was in an era when there was genuine human interest in the ordinary person, as opposed to today's occupation with fame.

I was 10,when this Aire. Did See it? Soupy Sales so cute, and funny. Good to see Mama Cass Elliot. What a talent.

Not so subtle -- it was fairly upfront. It speaks to Yoko's unpopularity that Cass would say this without any qualms.

To Cass at 19:40 "They tell me one of your big ambitions in life is to meet John Lennon"

Arlene is the most fascinating for how she became more modern looking as time went on. However, does anyone get the feeling she’s either uncomfortable with the show by now and/or feels like she has to sometimes “teach” the other panelists how to respond appropriately?

16:15 Ellen Naomi Cohen (Cass Elliot) 1941-1974. She died in London after having performed a successful two week stint at the Palladium. Keith Moon died in the same room a few years later, also at 32. 18:15 "Do you sing in a group?" "No" Well that's misleading. She was most well known as being in the Mamas and the Papas.

The syndicated version of WML we see here was so poorly directed and conceived. The celebrity segments were always rushed to make way for the stupid little bits in between. They should have brought back Cass after the commercial and ditched the letters to the panelists.

Lost her much too soon

"Unfortunately Yoko Ono was there at the time." "Thats was a shame!"

The problem with the syndicated show is they never the Mystery Guest rounds go on like the original series! The contestants just don't have any time to really work at it!

I just realized that Gawn Grainger is married to Zoe Wannamaker. She's one of my favorite actresses.

I’m not convinced soupy isn’t cheating. He knows too much. I thought Arlene had it.(parking meter).

Buzzr presently airs the color episodes of "WML"-However,they've edited out the introductions of the various panelists.

I'm pretty sure that Arlene knew the answer about the parking meter when Wally all but gave away the answer, but she played along to let the game go another round. I m trying to think of any other game show where the host had his full name displayed at the podium, and I can't think of any. I am wondering if Wally had that specified in his contract since he was known as a journalist on network news, but was largely unknown in the world of games shows as far as I know.

Both the original and this show were produced by the same man - Gil Fates. He said in his book that he was going to make time for the host to talk to the mystery guest, something Daly rarely did in the original show.
