Network Televsion's longest running primetime game show.
For seventeen years the show aired Sunday nights at 10:30 P.M.
The Game, which remained unchanged throughout its long run,
consisted of four panelists trying to guess either the unusual
occupation of a contestant or a product associated with them.
A panel member asked questions and the guest would answer yes or no.
The panelist remained in control of the questioning until he or she
received a no answer. The next member of the panel could then ask questions.
A contestant received $5 for each no answer
and ten nos ended the game in favor of the contestant.
In the last round of the evening, the panelists put on blindfolds
and tried to guess the identity of a celebrity mystery guest.
