I enjoyed these shows as a very young child. But looking at them again after 60 years, there's something fundamentally wrong with the show. The real Mr. or Mrs. X often tries to say or give as little information as possible, to the point of being disingenuous in their answers. Also, sometimes the subject is fairly obscure, yet the panelists -- especially Tom Poston -- seem to be able to ask highly specific questions. Maybe my suspicions are unfounded, but the whole exercise now seems somewhat unbelievable.
