File:Judge For Yourself w FRED ALLEN - Debut Show - Intro by Orson Bean (August 18, 1953)

Description
The debut episode of Fred Allen's single season game show, "Judge for Yourself".

On the panel of experts for this debut show is famed broadway composer Jules Styne, not that he ever gets a chance to say much of anything.

Part of the problem with this series is how hopelessly cluttered the format was. But this is still a real treat for Fred Allen fans, since these programs were rerun once and only once on GSN in the late 1990s and may never be shown again due to the prominence of the cigarette sponsor, Old Gold. Any video of Fred Allen is a rare and precious thing as far as I'm concerned, cluttered format or not. But you can. . . Judge for Yourself!
