Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Hey, It's That Guy!:
    • Robert Q. Lewis was rather famous during the 1950s, with Name being his most well-known series. He frequently appeared as a panelist on CBS' What's My Line? and the 1970s Match Game.
    • Dennis James is well-known for hosting a myriad of games spanning from 1946-77. Most of his work has been destroyed, except for two shows — Name (five months) and another game (five years, becoming James' longest-running game and his last). Due to a few legal problems, however, James is typically associated with Name instead.
    • Gene Rayburn, known best at this point of his career as a radio host, would go on to be the first sidekick on The Tonight Show and helm the 1962-84 versions of Match Game.
    • Mike Wallace hosted a few games before and after (including Nothing But The Truth), but is more famous for his work in journalism. Yes, him.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Several episodes aired by GSN also circulate in their unedited forms (i.e., with original commercials), and can be found on some public-domain DVD compilations or among collectors. One of these episodes is April 25, 1955.
