I wait with real anticipation for the two weeks that "What's My Line" and to a lesser degree "I've Got A Secret". Is on GSN in the early morning. So my disappointment is acute when I see episode after episode of the version. That is entirely due to having to look at Soupy Sales. Was there everEverEVER anyone with less talent foisted upon the American public? In his world everything is about him: his mugging at inappropriate times, his almost endless smarmy sexual innuendo, and his terrible "jokes". I'd be willing to bet that he was highly disliked by his co-workers. My visceral loathing of him can't be mine alone.
I have another criticism about this show. Who picked the women's clothes? They're ghastly. It that what passed for style in the late 60's? I realize that gowns and tuxes were not a viable choice for a daytime syndicated show, but there should have been some gay guy to say, "Not THAT, darling, you have a career to think about."
