| Title | : | what is a new years resolution |
| Air Date | : | 12.29.1944 ( December 29, 1944) |
| Plot | : | + The first question (at the opening): "What is a New Year's Resolution?" The first question (during the program), "How long does it take for a ship to make a five day journey?" The first contestant is Frank Leonard (Lebed?), a professional wrestler known as "Man Mountain Dean" (and who was also an army sergeant for thirty-seven years! The program is possibly AFRS #80, dated October 26, 1945 or October 29, 1945. A quiz show spoof that lampooned other quiz shows of the time such as Information, Please and The Quiz Kids. The format of the show was simple. Three nitwits made up the "board of experts". They spent more time trying to figure out what the question was than actually giving a sensible answer. The questions were as ludicrous as “From what kind of mines do we get gold ore?” or “Who came first, Henry VIII or Henry I?”. Critics slated the show when it first appeared and said it wouldn’t last. They were wrong. The show ran for nine years. |
