Darn arthritic fingers. Sorry for any typos🤪

Richard’s greatest role was as Pilot Major John Blackthorn in Shogun but he was also great in Count of Monte Cristo and The Last Wave. Actually, he’s been great in pretty much everything!

Maddy, did you know you could dictate to your phone and not have to use your fingers to type anything at all?

Maybe he's an exceptional human being

When Raymond Massey played John Brown in The Santa Fe Trail he was pretty mean looking.

Bennet Cerf was so cute when smiled on guessing correctly!

and any other clip!

Beautiful

If I recall correctly one or both ladies stood up for Eleanor Roosevelt.

JOE BLAUMER...You are correct sir

Back when society still had some class__

SaveThe TPC Even more than that when they announce the live Broadway productions the big BIG movie stars are in .....for instance, Anthony Quinn sharing the stage with Laurence Olivier....I'm going 'WOW' inside!! I know of course many started in the theatre but seeing them on the stage as I know them (movie stars) must've been wow WOW wow..

@@davidsanderson5918 And many huge stars continued to do theater all of their lives between movies.

@@sbalman That happens even though theater seems to be so much more work than movies. It must take dedication for a screen star to work in live theater

Arlene's "smize" was glorious. Tyra Banks would love how she could smile with her eyes.

Oooh, ooh...

It's been my pleasure, Rachel! And thank you for the very kind comment. :)

@@WhatsMyLine yes..thank you a thousand times..just makes my life better

What's My Line? Yes I wish to thank you also even tho these shows are before my I know of most of the actors and enjoy the civility show back in the 50,s So different to today’s crap television shows where every 2nd word is foul language

YES!

Go on facebook & type Uncle Earl's Classic TV Channel. There are a lot of free, full episodes of classic TV, including first 3 seasons of Dr. Kildare. Also, you can find the entire 5 seasons on DVDs.

I bought the complete series on DVD.

@@ChrisHansonCanada … Wow! I didn’t know it was available to buy. Thanks 😊!

I wish my can,e comoany (spectrum in NC) would her Cozi and a few others!

Brent McKee yes but Raymond was Johnathon Brewster! Game over

And a Patriot

You have left out Raymond Massey's phenomenal film career

Raymond Massey's brother Vincent was the Governor-General of Canada in the late 1950s

Massey was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for playing Lincoln in "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" (1940). I also read that he didn't get along with James Dean, who played his son in "East of Eden," and that Elia Kazan, the director, used that to his advantage.

Me, too. They were just beautiful!

I wonder if their outfits were sponsored?

can you imagine seeing what colors their fashions were?

I appreciate seeing the beautiful lady (Arlene) in any dress

@@donaldstanfield8862 of course

If someone said that today, off with his head!!!!!!!

As a country we miss those days.

@@dennisbedard9850 - quit whining and playing the "victim" card about what you claim somebody today would do. You're not a victim and you are clueless about anybody else saying or doing anything.

I believe Richard Chamberlain was in “ The Thorn Birds “ as well and one of the best miniseries ever made!

Wow! I pride myself on having a prolific English vocabulary, but your use of schwarm, ineffable and ineluctable in one sentence blows me away! (I had to Google schwarm and ineluctable for their meaning.) On the other hand, Ralphie boy, I was quite familiar with Ed Norton's va va vaaaa voooom!

I noticed them at least a year earlier and I have been kicking myself for not commenting on it when I first noticed. It would be a real chore to go back and find the first instance now.

I remember seeing chalk marks on the floor (circles, IIRC) when the show was broadcast from Chicago during a presidential nominating convention, August 12, 1956, and I left a comment on that episode a couple of years ago that the New York cameramen didn't show those marks. As Lois mentions, I've also noticed the marks (probably tape rather than chalk here) in quite a few of the recent (1961-62) shows as I've been making a second chronological viewing of these episodes. I didn't make a note of the first time the marks were visible, but it would have been some months prior to this show.

A slight case of insomnia has given me time to follow up on the marks on the floor. Spot checks through the 1958-60 playlist didn't turn up any visible marks; typically during this period the camera doesn't tilt down or back out quite enough to show the feet when Daly meets the contestants after signing in. Of course I haven't reviewed every episode. But when the panelists enter at the start, we sometimes see some floor, and I didn't see the marks. The first glimpse of floor marks so far spotted is at 3:25 in the January 1, 1961 show kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iraee7Kk1a3Wqnk.html when the girdle salesmen with the presidential names have signed in. (The panelists didn't enter as usual because of Faye Emerson's broken leg.) But this may be temporary, to make sure both guests are in the shot. The floor seems clean for much of 1961, then starting December 3 the marks are shown more often. Nothing definitive about that as the exact starting date yet, but this may help others search.

Yes, I noticed the chalk marks on the floor quite a while ago. They have them there for a walk way as the panelists know where to walk in to keep them center frame, and then outline where the guests are to walk, and then the little standing arcs for the "foot prints" of where the guest and John are to stand. Been there for a long time, but they went away for a bit and came back.

And Daryl, his birthday is coming up next week! 🎉⭐⭐⭐⭐🎉

He pronounced so many words weirdly. He adds syllables too. Often distracting.

@@janetmarletto6667 thats an old timey NY accent! "oi" instead of "er" terlet instead of toilet coib instead of curb... its an eastern dialect from the old days.

@@janetmarletto6667 he has a bit of a lisp too.

I miss this time so much , I remember this Aplumb and comportment from adults as a kid in the 60's.

Thorn Birds being the best💪🏼

Thank you for another fascinating glimpse into baseball history, Lois. My first bat was an Adirondack. That bat gave me a memory to last a lifetime. We were playing against the best pitcher in our league, an oversized 12 year old who threw smoke. As a mediocre 10 year old, I managed two hits against him and got my name in the local paper for that feat. Unfortunately, I broke that bat soon thereafter, and even more unfortunately my baseball career reached its apex that day. I never played organized ball after my 12 year old season in Little League.

I grew up with the Louisville Slugger, still swear by them. Can't stand aluminum bats.

He excelled on East of Eden.

I remember using Adirondack bats in the late 60s and early 70s, and when Bennett asked for the location of the town, I thought he might latch onto the Adirondacks and thus the bat. He did end up getting it, but didn't make the connection it seems.

I live in that general area and Dolgeville is much closer to Albany than 250 miles.

@@Walterwhiterocks You're right. I'm not sure where I got that but per Google Maps, a car trip would be about 80 miles.

Very!

Dixie Alexander Of course there were also excellent (by which I mean well-acted and well-written) and more realistic medical dramas on television in later decades than "Doogie Howser, M.D." Consider "Chicago Hope," "E.R.," "Marcus Welby, M.D.," "Medical Center," and "St. Elsewhere." And even before and during the era of "Dr. Kildare," there were also the excellent "Ben Casey" and "Medic" series', the former co-starring Vincent Edwards as the title character of a dedicated young surgeon, with Sam Jaffe as his mentor, "Dr. David Zorba." The "Medic" series starred Richard Boone (prior to his long-running role in the Western series "Have Gun, Will Travel") and is considered the first realistic medical drama on television. On a lighter note, during the height of their respective popular TV medical dramas, Richard Chamberlain as "Dr. Kildare" and Edwards' "Ben Casey" were rivals in popularity among female fans (and probably among some "gay" male viewers too), not dissimilar from how both George Clooney and Noah Wylie were considered "TV doc hunks" at the height of their popularity in "E.R." One may also consider the Jack Webb-produced "Emergency!" as partly a medical drama, the characters of Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics interacting with physicians and nurses at a local hospital as they both triage and help transport emergency patients to the medical facility for further treatment. In fact, it was that series which helped kick-start the paramedical profession, theretofore a relatively new innovation of emergency first responders in concert with medical facilities.

The reluctance of people to go back in tv or whatever history because they weren’t born at a certain time makes me sick.

I have watched that video too. Pretty good stuff.

David Evans Yes, Bennett handled that interview very, very well, I totally agree. Mike Wallace really grilled him at certain points, and it was frankly very silly of Wallace to have conducted the interview that way, as if Bennett was one of the corrupt businessmen Wallace would skewer later in his career on "60 Minutes"!

That was Wallace's schtick in those years, and only slightly less by his 60 MINUTES residency.

+David Evans I recently watched the movie "Hell's Island." In the opening scene, the police sergeant (played by Eduardo Noriega) gives Mike Cormack (played by John Payne) a cigarette to smoke while the doctor is operating on him and bandaging up his gunshot wound - and he does smoke the cigarette in that scene. Well, that was, indeed, "the way we were" once upon a time......

+Jupiter MacWillow I can remember seeing ads in magazines of the first half of the 1950's where actual doctors by name were quoted as endorsing a particular brand of cigarette over the others.

Carolyn Argabright On many episodes, the mystery guest stumped the panel.

Bennett peaked

It amazes me that you were able to spell "incorrect" correctly.

Wonderful actor! 👏God bless you sir!! It's June 2023. Hoping you're well and happy. Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us, and know that you are well loved!

One of the Rat Pack after Bogart I think. Bishop had a good line to a Cop,on way to Las Vegas with Sammy Davis to break in his new Rolls ! Sammy was speeding and was stopped by a Cop ! Cop asked do you know how fast you were going ? Sammy having one eye ,Bishop answered for him with He has One eye do you want him to keep it on the Road or the Speedometer !

Agree. Frank Sinatra's pal.

Very.

So do I. I never thought he was funny, I still don't to this day. 2020 .

Totally agree. At last someone else has said it too. I don't like those sorts of people in real life....usually a bloke, indulging too long with something they think is funny and not smiling. Vain, egotistical, pain in the neck.

Chamberlain had a good laugh about it - probably because of the irony!

'Not' married. Joey had no idea lol

@@davidarcudi230 That must have been uncomfortable for Richard, especially in that day and age.

He was.

This episode changed my mind about Joey! I like him!

I just saw that, I was going to comment but you beat me too it, lol!!!

Bishop makes a breezily heterosexist joke--not atypical but also not too thoughtful for the time---to a deeply closeted actor.

norelco pc , probably laughing and not feeling at all like laughing at the same time

Todd Mason Joey Bishop never made a guest-star appearance on Dr. Kildare. He never worked with Richard Chamberlain, therefore knew nothing about his private business. Mr. Chamberlain worked hard on Dr. Kildare. When filming wrapped after many hours, people left him alone.

@@rogerwhite95 That's about it. Been there.

He can be.

Nope. Richard Chamberlain hasn't been with the last guy in 11 years.

I think she just didn't know how to answer the question.

Not until 2003, in his autobiography "Shattered Love: A Memoir". But there were rumors prior to that.

I think it would be safer to ask Chamberlain about it now than it was in 1962, anyway.

You can also tell by the fact that the announcer opens the show with, "And now, let's meet our 'What's My Line?' panel" and not "Live from New York..." The "live from NY" announcements began about a year before this, I think (I've already forgotten if it was just before or just after the taped episodes were aired, even though I only watched those within the past couple of weeks). I would not have known when it was taped without your helpful information, though, so thanks, *****!
