Kurt,

 KW>  I'll have to look for those - were they black and white?

  There were some of the original Match Game shows in black and
white. The theme was "Swinging Safari" or "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".
Now, I'm really showing my age. <G>

 KW>  My parents both worked when I was growing up, and I watched a lot of
 KW>  afternoon TV. I remember watching Match Game all the time, and
 KW>  wondering who the hell Charles Nelson Reilly and Rose Marie were,
 KW>  since I'd never seen them in anything else...

  Brett Sommers, Charles Nelson Reily, and Richard Dawson, seemed like
the regulars on Match Game.

 KW>  Reminds me of the "Newlywed Game" when asked where is their favorite
 KW>  place to make "whoopie" (in the house). I'll leave the answer to the
 KW>  reader.

  In ham radio, CW stands for "Continuous Wave", what is termed for
Morse Code. I did 3 skits several years ago...called "The Triple Play".

1) The Ham Radio Wedding (uniting ham and radio in holy telephony).
2) The Honeymoon And More (the first night together)
3) The 12 Days Of Hamming (12 items in the hobby)

  Now, non-ham radio operators might not understand all of the punny
humor...but those of us who do, say that "I have too much time on my
hands". <G> In "The Honeymoon and More", I use CW twice -- for
"continuous whoopee", and "constant whipping on the harmonics
backsides". In ham radio, harmonic has 2 meanings...children, and
"secondary RF emission that is a multiple of the fundamental
emission". That could also put you "out of band".

  "The Triple Play" is contained in a ham radio humor file, which is
downloadable in PDF format, at https://www.theweatherwonder.com/elk.htm

 KW>  Host: "How many men in a professional hockey team?"

 KW>  Paul Lynde, snickering: "About half..."

 KW>  Circle gets the square!

  Paul made one response, where the audience was laughing so hard, 
that the show couldn't resume for 20 minutes. <G>
