I'm sure most of you remember Laugh-In and Sock it to Me.
Those are a little before my time but there is a very cool new network called BuZZr that airs nothing but old game shows, some of which I ever even heard of back then, such as TattleTales with celebrity married couples.
It's a very entertaining and nostalgic channel, if one wants to occasionally indulge in a waste of time. :-)
I actually saw one episode of TO TELL THE TRUTH with a 10 year old Dr. Henry Makow on it, from Canada. it was really something else, this guy, inventor of the scruples game and prolific writer on the jew world order, 9/11, and feminism. Actor Tom Poston was one who guessed who Makow was. I actually was able to record a bit of it.
another thing I never knew was the Richard dawson, host of family feud, later married one of the woman contestants from that show,. they had a daughter and he promised his little girl that he will no longer kiss the woman contestants, that he will only kiss his wife, her mommy. ;-)

In [Chuck]Barris's autobiography, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, he claims to have worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as an assassin in the 1960s and the 1970s. A 2002 feature film version, directed by George Clooney and starring Sam Rockwell, depicts Barris as killing 33 people.
"The CIA denies Barris ever worked for them in any capacity" -- I'll bet they do!
"Barris published Della: A Memoir of My Daughter in 2010 about the death of his only child, who died in 1998 after a long struggle with drug addiction" -- ah, the poignant tales all these top celebs have to tell of dope-fiendery, a subject that virtually didn't exist before they became our gods.
I was telling this story to a kid here in the library.
I knew an old guy in Chicago that was knocking over speak-easy's during Prohibition. He told me that Capone put the hit on them. So, him and his his partner took it on the lamb to Boston.
He said they got back about a month later and Capone's boys grabbed them and to took them to Big Al.
He told me, "We were standing there with our hats in our hands, "We're sorry Mr. Capone. We won't ever do it again." And Capone said to them, "Yeah? Well hit somebody else's joints. Now get outta here."
I'd say they got off pretty lucky.
When I told the kid that Capone was a gangster, then he got it. LOL
