Very different kinds of game shows in the old days. This one is interesting in that it also shows how big the tobacco ads were to television in those days [today it is drug ads]

80 bucks and a can of tobacco for being
on a game show. Now people walk away
with 10's of thousands. I remember as
a kid in the 50's, people were still fascinated
by the Civil War, I don't know why.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
