    I remember Truth or Consequences. In fact, I was in the audience for a taping when I was in the Marine Corps - they invited a bunch of us Marines as part of one of their gags. It taped just before I got out in 1972, so I was able to watch that particular show as a civilian. Remember how at the beginning of each show they'd pan the audience and everybody was laughing hysterically? Well, what they did when I was there was tell us to laugh as hard as we could (even though there was nothing to laugh at) and they'd select whoever did the best job of it and give them a gift - that was sort of disappointing. They claimed they usually had someone telling jokes to make people laugh before the show started, but he was unavailable that day. I suspected they told every audience that.

    Anyone remember The Rogues with David Niven, Charles Boyer, and Gig Young? They played a group of con men. It was only on for one season in 1964/65 - I loved that show, but it got cancelled after one season. Another favorite was Laredo, about a group of Texas Rangers that was a comedy/western, and that only lasted a couple of seasons.
