Hi Peter:  Thanks for joining the list and for your first post.
Thanks also for the information on Leslie Stevens.  I was wondering
if you had any similar information on Gene L. Coon, which seasons or
episodes did he produce?

Thanks also for your list of "wanted" episodes.  Hopefully someone
will be able to help you find those.  On the other hand, it sounds

Greetings all, once again I am amazed at the resources
available on the internet.  I remember watching both NOTG
and Search, and as a kid was fascinated by both.  It has
been many, many years since I've seen either (though I
have the wav files of the themes).

It's too bad with 300+ channels on Comcast broadband that
I can watch the news from Japan, a show on squirrels, and
endless repeats of other crap but no repeats of the above
shows!

My inquiry: there were several mentions in the prior
message threads about episode tapes.  What advice would
y'all have for getting one?  I've searched ebay, but this
seems to be a dicey area, so any advice would be great.

Best always,
Michael

Hello people!!

Does anyone out there know where I can find the several dozen NOTG
episodes which no video collector seems to have? I have a collection
to complete!!!

Witness, Lola In Lipstick, The Revolutionary, The Suntan Mob, Lady
On The Rocks, The Emissary, The Prisoner Within, The Civilized Men,
High Card, The Sking Game, Echo Of A Nightmare, One Of The Girls In
Research, Battle At Gannon's Bridge, The Enemy Before Us, I Love You
Billy Baker- parts 1 & 2, Aquarius Descending, A Sister From Napoli,
The Man Who Killed A Ghost, Seek And Destroy, The Savage Eye, The
Broken Puzzle.

I have been enjoying NOTG episodes (54 in all, 22 to go)immensly
since (re?) discovering it about five years ago thru the tape
collector market. I used to watch it late nights in the mid to late
70's when I was preteen lad who wasn't supposed to stay up late.

There are many NOTG episodes archived at the Library of Congress'
Motion Picture and Television Reading Room. Good luck, though, on
trying to get an appointment to view any of them. I tried and was
told "you must be an archivist of this sort of material to qualify
for an appointment".

To answer the Leslie Stevens/Tony Franciosa inquiries, I think there
were seven episodes in the series (all in season one- 1968-69)
produced by Stevens, six of them featured Tony Franciosa:

Fear Of High Places
Collectors' Edition
Shine On Shine On Jesse Gil
The Black Answer (produced, written AND directed by Leslie Stevens)
The Incomparable Connie Walker (written & produced by Leslie Stevens)
Keep The Doctor Away

Pineapple Rose (season one) was a Gene Barry episode

Not having seen all the season one episodes, however, the above list
may NOT be complete..... Leslie Stevens (according to a TV Guide
article in '69) left the show after the first season. Hope this
clears up some questions people had.

Robert Stack dies at age 84

By Ann Oldenburg, USA TODAY

He seemed untouchable.

  Robert Stack, one of Hollywood's original straight-shooting tough-guy
  characters, was found by wife Rosemarie slumped over Wednesday in his Los
Angeles home, dead of heart failure. He was 84.

  Stack's role in the TV crime series The  Untouchables  made him famous.


                        Although the actor had had radiation treatment for
prostate cancer last October, his wife told the Associated Press on Thursday,
"He was feeling so good." She added that it wasn't the tumor that had been
troubling him, "it was his heart."

  And it was his portrayal of almost heartlessly stern characters through his
career that made him a hero to  millions of fans, particularly with his
Emmy-winning portrayal as federal agent Eliot Ness in the influential
1959-1963 TV crime series The Untouchables.

                        Gritty and gutsy, it was one of the first realistic TV
shows, in which guns fired, blood flowed, women had loose morals in
speak-easies and characters were ethnic. TV Guide articles asked "Is The
Untouchables too violent?"; there was a wave of now common but then
unheard-of Sopranos and Godfather-type backlash, complaining that the
villains were Italian Mafiosos. Ness and his gang went after some of the
worst people in organized crime and paved the way for cop shows to come.

                        "Bob inhabited that role. It was flawless. He was
Eliot Ness, and we just followed his lead," says actor Paul Picerni, who
portrayed federal agent Lee Hobson on the show. "The violence was quite
controversial at the time. But at the height of that, I remember a priest
said to me that The Untouchables is like a passion play. The bad guys are
very bad, and the good guys are very good. It's a real lesson in life, unlike
today where the bad guys often win."

Good-guy Stack was born into a performing arts family in Los Angeles. His
great-great-grandfather opened one of the city's first theaters, and his
grandparents, uncle and mother were opera singers. But he didn't sing. For
him, it was the actor's life.

He made more than 40 movies, starting with 1939's First Love and including
1956's Written on the Wind, which earned him an Oscar nomination. Later, he
moved into comedy, finding a new audience with 1980s films Airplane! and
Caddyshack II. Renewing his TV popularity was his job hosting Unsolved
Mysteries.

When asked in a Los Angeles Times interview in 1996 about being in show
business, Stack replied, "It'stough. It's like being a member of a club, this
profession. And you're kind of invited in and you hope that yourinvitation
holds out for good."

Stack and his wife wed in 1956 and have two children, Elizabeth and Charles,
both of Los Angeles.



"There's a nuance here that escapes me."

Hi Marta:  It can be somewhat time consuming--and there is no hurry--
but if you have a video capture card, that would make things easier.
Since I only have about 8 or 10 episodes on tape, we could split up
and each do half.  Let me know which episodes you copy the credits
off of, and I'll do the rest of them.  We could forward our info to
Des Martin so he could update his list (he already has credits for
the "Fame is..." pilot movie) and maybe he could provide a link to
this mailing list in thanks.

--Don H.

Well, then, we'll have to start going through and writing down the
credits to post on the web.  I can do this with the few you sent me, if
it will help.

Hi Marta:  I've tried doing searches for TNOTG credits as well, and
can only find the sketchiest of details.

Des Martin has an episode guide for TNOTG at:
http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Stage/2950/epg/NameOfTheGame.h
tm

His listing is sketchy as well, but he does mention Gene L. Coon as
one of the producers of the Tony Franciosa episodes, apparently for
the first season.  As we know, Leslie Stevens produced-wrote-directed
Franciosa episodes as well.  Looking closer at Des Martin's listing,
certain episodes get a full treatment as if someone copied down the
credits info from a tape dub, such as this example:

Greetings once again!

I agree with your reply on the TF situation during season three...
more info would be helpful......onward to the present subjects....

during the first group of episodes from season one,the plan was to
have the three stars crossover into each others episodes to provide
continuity....gene barry did the most,appearing in half of the tony
franciosa episodes and some of the robert stack episodes.....I only
know of one franciosa crossover....and that was the first barry lead
episode,'the taker'...did robert stack do any? why did the crossover
plan end?

as for star billing and title graphics.....that's what got me to try
the show!!SEARCH took a more basic approach,but it was creative.....
but NOTG was planned to be big!! the creative team behind this did a
very innovative job in what I thought was one of the more shorter op-
enings for a series....40 seconds or less, I think....questions.....

do you know the artist responsible for the images used here?? the same
style seems evident in the title graphics for IRONSIDE as well as the
first 17 episodes of IT TAKES A THIEF.......

was any thought given to overall look of the titles? I remember seeing
the robert stack opening first, and upon seeing the tony franciosa im-
age at the third position the impression I get is'this guy is the cool
one'!!

the jazzy, pulsating first season dave grusin theme.....was there a
method to the tricks that seemed to occur during the merging of star
name into image,like using keyboard notes at the exact moment the TF
image would move to the screen and separate??

the billing did rotate to match the lead of the week,but I did take
note of NOTG main title having the same color as the background for
the gene barry image....it's movement and separation was the same as
tony franciosa's name....the letter style seemed to be too...was this
done to acknowlege barry being head of publishing empire and to indi-
cate that franciosa was the pilot star/lead investigative reporter??
I also noticed that his image separates in multiple directions like
the NOTG main title....it only merges for a second or so...the robert
stack graphic moved fast enough....do you know why that technique was
used making his name and image more of a merger??

was the NOTG first season theme ever released in any format as part of
any musical collection by dave grusin??

what made this theme one of if not the most original of all series???
(if you don't know,I'll tell you in another post.............)

                                    thanks for listening!!

greetings!

was he fired during season three or did he just leave because

he was too much of a perfectionist? I read an article in US

magazine that he left his role of jeff dillon.....of course

this was about 20 years ago.... thanks for listening.

Hi:  Thanks for those questions and welcome to the group.  Yes, TNOTG
was a weekly series with rotating stars.  Whereas the NBC Mystery
Movies had rotating series with different characters and different
formats, all "Game" episodes had a similar format, along with similar
background characters (such as Peggy Maxwell, played by Susan St.
James).

On your second question, the article/synopsis of LA 2017 from the
Spielberg site is very condensed and somewhat irreverent, but it is
basically correct as far as the aired episode goes.

What is missing are a few key details.  I watched the opening few
minutes of the episode again and took notes:

When we first see Glen Howard's large 1970's model car, they dubbed
in sounds, as though the car was in need of a tune up.  The sound
faded and the car sounded more normal afterward.

As the car first approaches us, we hear a radio news report about an
oil channel leak, then there is a report of a third straight smog
alert for L.A., with air pollution levels reaching a new record.
They add that the temperature will reach 70 degrees this day.

Howard then turns off the radio, and opens an air vent--or it is the
a/c?  They don't make this point clear.  The car's windows are closed.

Then Howard begins narrating into a tape recorder, a message for the
President about the coming ecological challenge.  As he speaks, he
becomes progressively more sleepy.  Within a minute or so, he passes
out and the car runs off the road.  Lucky for Howard that the car ran
into a ditch.  Then we see a close up of fumes coming from the car's
exhaust pipe.

Going by what was presented, we can't really be sure whether Howard
was also sleepy on top of the smog alerts and everything else.

Anyway, this is the setup, sketchy as it is, which gets Howard asleep
so that the rest of the episode is a sci-fi dream of possible future
ecological catastrophe.

Some parts of the episode work better than others.  Filmed as it was
during 1971, the overall look of the episode is dated, even though
the setting is the future.  The eerie nature of the storyline still
comes through and the irony is that this could still be our future if
we mess up badly or have an American Chernobyl, etc.

Myself, I find it strange that Spielberg, of all people, would
present a story in which the USA has been transformed into virtually
a fascist-like state, run by giant corporations.  He's done a similar
thing with "Minority Report."  Then again, maybe he is warning
against it by presenting some of the dangers.

At any rate, "LA 2017" is probably the strangest and most interesting
and atypical episode of "The Name of the Game."

Two questions about the below posting:

1)Wasn't Name of the Game a weekly show?  Rather then being a
rotating series, as was Colombo, McMillian & Wife and McCloud were,
wasn't Game a weekly show that had rotating stars?

2)The way they worded "Howard opens the air vent to his automobile,
letting a healthy dose of L.A. smog and auto exhaust into his car ..."
just sounds wrong.  My first reaction to that sentence was that they
were saying that the air in general was so bad that it made Howard
pass out.  Wasn't it in fact the case that he was driving with the
windows closed (probably with the A/C on) and the exaust system
developed a fault and started pumping carbon monoxide exaust into the
passenger compartment...making him pass out?
