I have no connection with this company: only discovered their restoration work through the magical "interwebs" and wanted to pass this along...
Amazing, this 21st century and technology: check out a "What's My Line?" clip restored from a grainy "kinnie" and now practically videotape quality:

Now, imagine watching all those '50s Benny broadcasts "live" again. Wouldn't that be something.

We have been watching these lately (my brother got the whole series on DVD... no clue how, but he did). My mother and I watch a disc after he finishes watching one. Also, though the show is no longer in the Game Show Network, they DO occasionally put in on late at night for a few weeks, then take it off again. They did this in December, and we got to see Fred Allen on the panel and some nice "mystery guests". It is worth searching their listings now and then to see if the show is on.

I wish when Jack Benny was the myster guest, if was earlier, when Fred was a panelist. That would have been a GREAT show! Portland Hoffa was on once during his 2 years, though.

Was that the one where Portland had to ring a bell because Fred would recognize her voice?
