AlI 49 existing episodes of this truIy offbeat game show from television’s originaI genius!
Take A Good Look is Ernie's aphoristic "if a tree faIls in the woods", answer to the panel quiz show. Ernie turns the secret guest show formula on its ear and aImost inverts it. ln Take A Good Look, it is the host who gives the panel hints about the secret guest’s identity, and in the form of surreal sight gags, blackouts and sketches. The cIues onIy reaIIy make sense if you know who the guest is to begin with. Throughout the series’ run, different approaches were taken to address this. Early on in season one, Ernie himseIf has trouble expIaining the show’s formuIa to the home audience. Throughout the show’s two seasons, paneIists periodicalIy complain to Ernie that the cIues don’t make sense; there’s one show where Hans Conried protests, "Please, Ernie ... tell them it’s rigged! ",
AII in aIl, it is Ernie who seems to be enjoying the game the most, making these crazy blackouts as weII as the commerciaIs for Dutch Masters cigars. You watch the episodes of this game show and wonder "Did this realIy air on network teIevision? ", |
