I am hooked on the original game show What’s my line! The Game Show channel airs it every night. This original version had a run of 17 years from 1950 to 1967. It is considered the longest running and most beloved TV game show. It is not only the game that fascinates me . It is the relationship between the Moderator John Charles Daily and the panel. It seems so sincere and courteous . All of the guests are respected too . The regular panelists ,Bennett Cerf ,Dorothy Kilgallen , Arlene Francis and the rotating guest all project an air of intelligence , sophistication and charm . Then there are the mystery guests . What Mega Stars they were! Nothing like it now. How things have changed! It seems light years between this wonderful , simple old TV show and American Idol .Backwards that is!
