So good to see Art James -- one of the underrated best. He and I had several very pleasant email exchanges, during the last few years of his life. Wish I could've met him.
I loved the opening guitar theme tune, I still remember it like it was yesterday
I have waited years to see an episode of Say When!! Thank you for posting. I had a pleasure of meeting Art James briefly at a book signing for the second Encyclopedia Of TV Game Shows in Los Angeles back in 1995. He was very pleasant..
Boy, does this send me back to being a five-year-old in Riverside, California. It was a variation on "The Price Is Right" but still had a nice run on its own terms. Excellent find.
Art James also went on to host the Who,What or Where game in the '70s always liked his voice!!!
The model Rurh in this game show Live's here in Santa Barbara beautiful as ever...
I loved this show -- unfortunately, I was always at school -- junior high. I wish that they bring back this one.
This one is a classic! Art James will never forget this one. An arrow on his head!
My father was an Associate Producer on this show, and I was on it 4 times as a child model. Unfortunately, I've been told by reliable sources that the episodes I was on are lost.. My father recommended the guitar player (the music was done live on the show) who my mother referred to years later as "that beatnik", and never said how my father knew him.
Obvious that if Goodson was going to do live music, that he would avoid the cliche daytime television organ music whenver possible (although typically, when going with organ music for the "Beat the Clock" revival G-T went with Dick Hyman, one of the world's best musicians).
My mom was on this show in 1964 and won a ton of stuff.
Originally seen in the summer of 1961 (this is a Friday show, as a promo for the "CHEVY MYSTERY SHOW", Dinah Shore's 1961 summer replacement, is seen at 14:37).
If the major networks ever wanted to really go back into the M-F game show business, this would be a perfect pic. the value of the prizes would have to go up, plus there would be a bonus game. (An Idea: the champ would select a amount, then some real extravagant prizes would be offered. It would be the champ vs. the house, with the instructions do not go over the set amount or at least within a range. A modified working of the Australian version of the TPIR Range Game would be perfect. Hit the range and you win the prize plus a big 'ol ca$h bonus)
Wow, Lamb Chop sounded so much different back then. I'm only familiar with Lamb Chop's Play Along from the early 90s.
I definitely remember watching "Say When" as a young child. My first exposure to Art James, whom I always liked. He handled the old "arrow through the head" gag very well. Very funny...
This is a show that was on before I was born, and I gotta say this was a neat show. Why has this show never been revived? TV execs oughta look into doing so, IMHO.
Judging from the show promos (and Wikipedia), this edition of Say When is from either the 60-61 or 61-62 season owing to the seasons in which The Tall Man aired.
The "blank check" idea was a novel one. 40 cases of chow mein dinners (roughly $7 a case), 12 in each case (about $.59 a box), comes to 480 dinners total. Provided you & your family do not burn yourself out on eating the same thing for lunch & dinner everyday, you could be set for a year on that.
Not to mention this show's "blank check" was a sight better than the actual Jack Barry game show of that name, which even Art thought was crap.
At 8:55, after Mrs. Roels choose the man's watch, you could hear that one person in the audience shout something like "You'll be sorry!" As it turns out, said audience member was right.
8:47 - 9:05 Let this be a lesson to you: Sometimes you just can’t listen to the audience. On the other hand, I think I hear someone in the audience yell out, “You’ll be sorry!”
I have seen the infamous peanut butter blooper from this program. And now seeing an episode of this...I have never seen a game show played more for laughs than this...especially on that misfire with the archery equipment.
Dont' remember this one. Looks like fun tho.
Would anybody else know where I can find more episodes. Grandmother appear on the show years ago and would like to see it.
The gameplay could be described as "Building your own Price Is Right Showcase"...with a budget limit.
Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop, is that the first appear of those 2?
What year was this episode?
Probably 1961, given a promo for "Sunday Mystery Hour", which was a Summer replacement that year. It may have been shortly after the show went on the air, so the show may have been sustaining (no commercial sponsors)
That dress was a fortune, jeez....
