I wish I could have seen the shows on tv from 1950-1967 December 23, 2008
but I was not born. I love watching them on GSN each night.
The box does not mention that it mostly has episodes with Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. I was hoping it was the first episodes or the one with Jules Montenier. The commercials were interesting-most were Remington Rand/univac and a few Stopette. The 05 February 1956 episode is one of the best on the disk (4 episodes on the disk).

For the price you can't beat this 4 episode DVD of classic WML shows. In addition the show with Lucille Ball has long been considered a "Lost" episode. It is not in the GSN library.

I watched this program when I was a boy growing up in New York City, and enjoyed it immensely. Because it was broadcast at 10:30 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, it marked the end of the weekend and a return to the drudgery of school, so it was a semi-sweet event.
A panel of four usually witty, clever well-known figures in entertainment and publishing tried to guess the occupations of mostly unassuming guests. During the featured part of the program, the panel was blindfolded as they tried to take a stab at the identity of a celebrity.
Much of the credit for the program's success must go to moderator John Daly, a thoughtful and very articulate former news broadcaster who showed considerable finesse in helping his guests determine whether they should give a "yes" or "no" answer to the panelists' questions.
Indeed, Daly's facility with rephrasing answers was often as funny as the panelists' questions themselves.
The disc contains four half-hour shows, complete with commercials. I marveled at Remington Rand's commercial for its UNIVAC computer, which, athough it filled a large room, was far less powerful than one of today's typical PCs.
A lot of fun and highly recommended. I eagerly await additional discs in the series
One of the best TV shows of the 50's April 10, 2008

"What's My Line" was part of a now extinct genre of TV known as " Panel Shows", where a panal of humans would have to guess something. Along with "I've Got a Secret", "The Match Game" (60's Version), and "Public Prosecutor", these type of programs were popular during the 50's and 60's. In this show, The Panel must guess the occupation of the contestants. It's very entertaining. Plus there are celebrity guests: In the 4 episodes on this DVD, Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz, Kim Novak, Randolph Churchill appear. These episodes are complete with orginal commercials, and are taken from good quality "Kinescope" copies.
If you enjoy Classic Game Shows, this DVD is worth getting. Both me and my parents enjoyed this DVD.
