Great Quiz Shows of the '50s Featuring Stump the Stars

A program also known as PANTOMIME QUIZ, the game show STUMP THE STARS had the distinction of being one of the only shows in U.S. broadcasting history to air on all four original networks - ABC, NBC, CBS and Dumont. Designed as a summer replacement series, it offered a celebrity-laden variation on classic party charades. Two teams of four individuals each (three regulars and one special guest) would compete with one another to "act out" and identify famous phrases, expressions, slogans, and the like. Enormously popular, the series ran for a stunning thirteen years, and featured such regulars as Vincent Price, John Barrymore, Jr., Milt Kamen, Rocky Graziano and Elaine Stritch. This box set features four vintage 30-minute episodes of the series, with guests including Ed Begley, Sr., Sebastian Cabot, Beverly Garland and Michael Landon.
