The one disadvantage of the new home was the layout. In our previous home, while my parents were in the living room, I could sneak out of my bedroom, walk down the hall and crawl under the dining room table. Lying on my stomach while I should have been in bed, it gave me a perfect view of the TV set. I was a night owl even back then. Invariably my mom caught me, but for a little while at least, I got another taste of the adult world I so much wanted to be a part of. Now that I'm 65+, I am starting to wonder what was my rush!!!

She had a hairdresser come to her home and fix her hair before events. He must not have come that day.

Dorothy looked a little disheveled. So sad reading about her early demise.

I've heard... from interviews with Bennett Cerf... that, although they all got along, Dorothy was not as much a part of their socializing as the others for two main reasons. Bennett stated that her politics differed from the others (not sure what that means) and she has a different perspective on issues of the day than the other panelists. But more importantly, according to Bennett, they all very quickly realized that Dorothy was a reporter first and game show player second. That became an issue when Dorothy would write about conversations the WML panel members would have in her newspaper writings, which were often meant to be in confidence. The others didn't like that and soon would be very careful when speaking with Dorothy around. John Daly, in particular, had problems with Dorothy revealing the content of what he felt were private conversations in her article. They didn't dislike Dorothy, but this matter certainly left her excluded from the frequent socializing the others enjoyed.

It's Sunday night, and what a better time to watch this on Xmas Day. 😊

Possibly the BEST reaction to a MG segment in the entire 17 year CBS run! 😍

Thanks so much for posting all these, it's just so interesting to see them all. :) They seem to have had rather a lot of female men's barbers on the show. ;)

The show couldn't spring for another chair.

It was a chair built for two, but twins were husky, I guess.

I just love this program. The clever tricks they play on the panel! Arlene and Dorothy are ususually the most savvy to twig whats going on. In this show, the "superior" sex for sure🤓

I think the whole PANEL have had a few drinks beforehand this week, never mind just Dorothy!! :)

Dorothy Kilgellan getting bill collectors was epic. I’m hooked on this show even tho it’s like 70 years old!

"It is an equal sex." Holy shit I love her.

The giggling of our beloved panel makes me think they have been hitting the Christmas punch a bit!!!! Love them!!

Oho, there comes a time when a man talks too much! - Arlene Francis when Martin Gabel answers a question as one of the mystery guests. Priceless!

Tony Randall's laugh... LOL

You wish it was 1961 again, when gas was 33\34 cents a gallon, and postage stamps were 8 cents for 1st class mail? But also in the early 1960s, at the 5 and dime store on a table there was a BIG pile of rabbits feet, in two sizes many different colors - I didn't know they were the REAL thing then, when I was 6, 7 years old, shopping malls weren't around yet, so big crowds of people went to the Newberrys store...

My favorite is Arlene. She is smart, witty, funny, pretty and with a great sense of humor.

Tony Randall had such a glorious laugh.

Amazing! Christmas Day 60 years ago!

I love this show, and I barely remember it as a kid but my parents watched it. I was born in 1955. I love this show! They had such class back then.

A drunken good time! Mystery guest section was a hoot!!!

Dorothy and Tony were easily amused tonight. Tony seemed to find it difficult to stop laughing at Arlene's introduction of Bennett, the same for Dorothy when Bennett introduced John Daly, and then Dorothy and Tony can be heard laughing at the first contestant (no doubt because it was a pair of twins) I'd suggest that it's a positive thing to be easily amused...in much the same way as being a "cheap drunk" can be a positive thing.

Man if this aired on TV today people would be freaking out about how they were talking about "the superior sex." There would be an uproar in political correctness.

If you read it and did not see it, then yes maybe, but is there any doubt that he was asking it in a joking manner. If people took the time to understand context then there would be a lot less outrage in the world.

What a great idea to bring the spouses in. Nice episode.

Wow, I heard of the Lone Star Collection Agency when I was growing up in Houston!!

In an ironic twist, the two gentlemen who ran the Lone Star Collection Agency lost their business in 1977 for failure to pay their taxes.

I love all these shows. Thank you.
