Go, Scotties! What fun to see Agnes Scott beat Princeton. But the questions sure were tough...

Grammar gaffe: host Robert Earle said "the runner-ups will receives a $500 scholarship grant" where he should have said "The runners-up will receive a $500 scholarship grang." This, on a quiz show for college students! LOL

URGENT!! Does ... ( 1 year ago by pynchonfan)

URGENT!! Does anyone have access to the show that aired the following week? Agnes Scott went up against Marietta College. I am in search of this because my late father, a professor of English at Marietta College, coached Marietta College's team. (I barely remember it, since I was not quite three at the time.) Please touch base with me if you can help.

I remember this show when I was a young kid, even back to the earlier days of Allen Ludden. Wonder why with 11 seasons worth of shows that have been broadcast, why it's not being seen on Game Show Network?

I'm surprised that College Bowl isn't on GSN as well. BTW, in the movie "Diner" there's a scene which Kevin Bacon is watching "College Bowl"

This is so bizarre...I didn't believe my 18thC Lit teacher at first, but I went and looked this up on YouTube...Malinda Snow (Agnes Scott) is now a professor at my school, Georgia State University. So bizarre to see her this young.

NBC aired the last ... ( 10 months ago by ThatDonGuy)

NBC aired the last question of this game when they aired the finals of the 1984 national championship tournament (the last time CB was on network TV, although the 1987 tournament was on Disney Channel). This may be the only complete episode in color; the Museum of TV and Radio in New York has one (Temple v. UCSB, 9/22/63), but it's a black and white kinescope.

I was the coach of the Agnes Scott team, and I'm prouder than ever of its members as I watch this. It was a glorious victory!

I am now 51 years old and when I was a young boy -- my brother and I watched this show. Gee --- it was GREAT!

I'll tell you how much of a geek I was back then....I used to get mad when The GE College Bowl was pre-empted by football! A smart, bright show. GE should bring this back on the GSN.

I remember in the late 70's or early 80's, CBS had a radio version with Art Fleming as host

My congratulations ... ( 3 months ago by Noveltooner)

My congratulations to you all these years later. I only wish you could coach all of the youth in our country today; education is in such a sad state today. I heard someone make a comment regarding the TV and education five years ago. She saw a correlation between the end of "College Bowl," the original "Jeopardy!" and the original "Password" from the airways in the 70's and growing lack of educational incentive in the U.S. Given the influence of TV, I wonder if there's some truth there.

While so many ... ( 3 months ago by Noveltooner)

While so many called this show a "great upset," I think the truth was that Agnes Scott was severely underestimated because of the old, Ivy League fame of Princeton (as well as its association with Einstein). If few people around the nation were aware of Agnes Scott College and its striving for academic and life-building excellence, they certainly discovered it on this show.

PLEASE!! if you have or someone has the 1965 College Bowl could you put it up here!!! My cousin was on and won that year...

Yes, I watched Ted Mack's "Original Amateur Hour" Sunday afternoons/evenings too, although even that title was a misnomer. For by the time Mack hosted it, the program was not the "original," which was hosed by Major Bowes on radio with Mack as his assistant. The announcer on the TV version was veteran boxing & game show emcee Dennis James. I also recall the last year of "Mister ED" airing Sunday late afternoons on CBS.

But the absence of ... ( 2 months ago by gymnastix)

But the absence of shows such as "College Bowl" and "Amateur Hour" from Sunday afternoon TV, along with the loss of network dramas, films, cultural programs such as "Omnibus" and public affairs shows such as "Issues & Answers" (and the relegation of "Meet The Press" and "Face The Nation" to mornings) has made broadcast TV on Sunday afternoons a wasteland of sports and infomercials.

And of course ... ( 2 months ago by gymnastix)

And of course weekday daytime TV may be even worse, with its Oprahfication and Springerization of talk shows and lousy, redundant judge shows, and sex-obsessed soap operas featuring mannequins who cannot act. Were it not for "Price Is Right" and the syndicated "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?," daytime TV would be a complete washout too. No more Merv, Mike, Cavett or "December Bride" and "Andy Griffith Show" reruns.

And Saturday ... ( 2 months ago by gymnastix)

And Saturday mornings have lame cartoons (with all the social engineering and no commercials featuring toys or cereals with sugar), and kiddie sitcoms that wouldn't even be good enough for ABC's old TGIF format. No more "Fury," Roy Rogers, Beany & Cecil, Bugs Bunny, Three Stooges, Shari Lewis or "Dennis The Menace" reruns.

I only keep a TV ... ( 2 months ago by gymnastix)

I only keep a TV around as a means by which to view my DVD's, and for important news & weather that may occur in between & around the "breaking news" of car chases & "Amber Alerts." As TV Land & GSN have all but abandoned their original philosophies, for the one or so hour of GSN I don't get by having no cable, I reimburse a friend to record classic game shows for me & download what I can (like this video here) from the Web. My livingroom has better programming than any network or cable channel!

By the way--a ... ( 2 months ago by gymnastix)

By the way--a wonderful upload, "hmmmmmmmmm2," and I truly wish more Tubers would do it your way--complete episodes with o/c, just as it appeared on broadcast TV! Many are catching on to the "complete-but-in-segments" part, but some forget we also care about the credits & commercials too. Someone like you should work at GSN or TV Land!
