From 1959 to 1961, the great Ernie Kovacs had a weekly half-hour prime time game show on ABC called Take a Good Look. It was an odd game show because, at least the times I saw it, nobody won much of anything…or if they did, it didn't have much to do with winning a game. It was mostly a celebrity panel trying and (usually) failing to solve puzzles that Kovacs and his crew whipped up in little pre-taped skits and…well, you'll understand if/when you watch this episode from March 16, 1961. It was also the last episode.
The panel on this one consists of Cesar Romero, Hans Conried and Jacqueline Susann. This was some time before Ms. Susann became famous for her best-selling novel, Valley of the Dolls, and I can't understand why she was on the program unless it had something to do with her being married to the producer. As you'll see, it's not much of a game and the clues don't make a whole lot of sense…but everyone on it seemed to be having a good time and I guess that was the point of it all…
