		Bill met the former Ann Macomber in the summer of 1955, during which time he was commuting to California once a week to host Place the Face.
		Among Bill's hobbies were photography (he owned tons of equipment and took literally thousands of pictures of his wife Ann), interior decorating, model plane building, painting (water color and oils), magic, music (he tried to learn saxophone and guitar), raising fish and writing plays and poetry.
		Bill was among the last of the major game show hosts to make the move to Los Angeles, in part because of his long-time association with producer Bob Stewart, who also resisted relocating to the west coast.

	Higher, higher! Freeze!
		Bill Cullen is a noisy, shrill cashier whose prefabricated homespun character in this idiocy consists of never ending a word with a “G” [singin’, talkin’, etc.] and a total performance about as real as a three-dollar bill.
		Bill was at his peak of success here, and the extravagant prizes were not the sole reason TPIR was a success.
		Bill presented himself as the model emcee here, with his master sense of when to joke with the contestants, and while he was never totally serious at any point, he was always good at building suspense with the sometimes-sarcastic "Isn't this EXCITING?" type of build that fans like to point out about Bob Barker.

	Goodson, Mark, and Bill Todman
		Quiz shows had been popular on radio through the 1940s, and they were equally popular with TV executives: they cost little to produce, and merchandise prizes, so scarce during the war, were furnished free by manufacturers in return for plugs.
		In 1950, CBS gave Goodson and Todman a shot at live drama when the producers of the popular anthology Suspense abruptly announced they were taking a summer hiatus.
		The Goodson and Todman families have been accounted among the wealthiest in show business, with a value in the hundreds of millions.

		On this particular episode, there was a guy who was shown a lady, whom he had tried to kiss when they were in high school, and even a famous player whose name skips me and the man he saw in the picture was the hotel bouncer that threw him out because he brought his chiuaua.
		Bill was just as funny as Groucho on this show, but his wit was not sarcastic like Groucho's could be; more goofy, but just as funny.
		Bill, by that time no longer wearing a crewcut, was made a regular panelist along with Truth alumni Kitty Carlisle, Peggy Cass and Orson Bean.

		Goodson and Todman reached these esoteric conclusions when their first TV panel show—What's My Line?—became an unexpected hit (TIME, Sept. 17).

	Bill Cullen: Winner Take All
		Bill and Winner Take All were featured in a special TV Guide quiz show issue for the week of May 2, 1952.
		Bill's big break was as host of the radio version of this series, and this television version was the first network TV series he hosted (albeit briefly).
		Given that the Goodson-Todman company managed to avoid being tainted by the quiz show scandals, in part because their shows weren't played for high stakes, it's interesting to wonder what might have happened if this version had made it to the airwaves.

		Bill Todman's name was dropped from the various MG-BT shows as time went on.
		Probably because the gentlemen were no longer working for the respective companies when their names were dropped.
		The decision was made to rename the company at that point (I'm not exactly sure why, but many of the shows in production at that time [CS, P+, FF, TPIR] opted to keep the G/T name--although TPIR and FF eventually moved on to MGP).

	GSN Unofficial FAQ's
		If a game show library you'd prefer to see on the network isn't airing at the moment, it's either because there is too much money involved with gaining the rights to air the show, or it isn't in GSN's best interest to air the show at the time.
		The most common reason, unfortunately, is that some of the celebrities that appeared on these shows back then won't allow their episodes to air today, for a variety of reasons.
		Then Bill passed away, and Mark bought out his shares in the company from his estate.

		Producers Mark Goodson and Bill Todman were responsible for game shows like I’ve Got a Secret, To Tell the Truth and Match Game, but none were as successful as What’s My Line?.

	Hard to Kill (1990)
		Hopefully those who choose to watch this film will notice the story's apparent similarities to Tarantino's Kill Bill, with the coma victim waking after an extended period of time and training to exact revenge on those that ruined their life.
		But while both films do have these similarities, it is a safe bet to state that Tarantino didn't use Hard to Kill as the basis of his forth project.
		While not as thoroughly humorous or enjoyable as Kill Bill was, Hard to Kill bests most of today's laughable "action" films and is recommended for some good old fashioned bone-breaking, fist-fighting, lead-pumping, and furniture-smashing martial arts action.
