Stump the Stars
Originally titled Pantomime Quiz Time, Stump the Stars was produced and hosted by Mike Stokey. Originally telecast from 1947 to 1959, it has the distinction of being one of the few television series to air on all four TV networks during the Golden Age of Television. Stump the Stars was based on the popular parlor game of Charades. The competition involved two teams of four contestants each (three regulars and one guest). In each round, one member acts out (in mime) a phrase or a name while the other three try to guess it. Each team had five rounds; the team that took the less amount of time to guess all phrases won the game. The show featured numerous Hollywood stars, both as regulars and guest. This collection includes twelve complete shows. You will enjoy watching these rare TV shows and what makes them ever more fun is the original commercials for the sponsor the Ralston Purina Company.
