    I never liked that course either.

    I'm pretty sure he said "Humanity" but let's see next year.

    Subject:  Art Linkletter's House Party?

    I was going to do my OTR show this week using an episode of Art Linkletter's
    House Party, but after writing up my intro, I couldn't find any episodes
    anywhere!

    The show was on the air daily all through the 1950's, and there aren't any
    copies of it anywhere??  Totally bizarre.

    Subject:  What's the Name of That Song?

    Warren Jones wants to know about this 50s radio quiz [removed] would
    like to hear an audio copy.

    This Mutual Quiz show was not in the 50s. It aired from September 1944 to
    December 1948 as a Mutual Network show, although it had been broadcast
    regionally west coast only on Don Lee Network since 1943. It was a half hour
    show evening once a week, usually on Thursday, Saturday or Sunday. Dud
    Williamson was the [removed] for most of the run. Knox Company sponsored it for
    the first two years; thereafter it was sustaining.

    It's musical theme song was "I Know That You Know."  Only one audio copy
    exists, but I'm not sure which dealers might have it.

    In his 1991 book, "Quiz Craze" Thomas L. DeLong describes the show as one
    that "challenged studio audience members in Hollywood to identify songs and
    then sing the lyrics. Cash prizes of $ 5 to $ 50 went to contestants and to
    those mailing in questions."
