I'm another one who remembers it. I was creeped out by the weeping women who had a long list of terrible tragedies in their lives, and quit watching it after a short while. My mom preferred Bob Crosby and Lawrence Welk, and we often watched those as a family. I preferred to watch George Burns and Gracie Allen or Groucho Marx or George Gobel or Milton Berle or Bob Hope or Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca with my dad. There was a surprising amount of comedy on early TV, and I remember it as being hilarious. My mom thought a lot of it was rude and tacky for some reason. When there was a little innuendo, it was over my head - nothing like the stuff children are exposed to these days.

My parents went with friends to a taping of one show. The friend was on the show. She won things and they had to pick up the prizes in a bad section of Chicago. Mom only remembers that pearls were one of the prizes, but they really weren't pearls.
