JACKIE GLEASON
YOU'RE IN THE PICTURE
An American television game show that aired on CBS
for only one true episode on Friday, January 20, 1961
Considered by many to be one of the largest flops in television history
Host was TV star Jackie Gleason, joined by Johnny Olson as announcer
and Dennis James doing live commercials for sponsor Kellogg's
The celebrity panel on the Premiere consisted of Pat Harrington, Jr.,
Pat Carroll, Jan Sterling, and Arthur Treacher.
The following Friday (Jan 27), instead of the game the entire second episode consisted of Gleason
sitting in a chair on an empty stage and apologizing for the previous week's show
This comical half-hour apology got much better reviews than the game show,
and Gleason finished out his series commitment by renaming the program
The Jackie Gleason Show and turning it into a talk show.
Quality is Excellent- Black + White
Both have a running time code on the bottom of the screen throughout.
Both have the original commercials
Total Run-Time is about 1 Hour
