Tattletales (1974)

Welcome to "Tattletales," a vibrant, remodeled version of the classic "He Said, She Said (1969-1970)" that combines playful banter, astute guessing games, and celebrity charm. In this mesmerizing show, three celebrity couples are pitted against each other in a battle of wits, love, and knowledge about their significant other. The show unfolds in the heart of Hollywood's CBS Television City, where it captivates audience members from three distinct rooting sections, each painted with the prime hues of Red, Yellow (Banana), and Blue. The game commences with either the wives or the husbands sequestered offstage, their ears filled with the hum of headphones. They're asked intimate questions about their marriage, their love life, or other slightly embarrassing topics, leaving them in a state of contemplation. Meanwhile, their on-stage counterparts predict how they would respond. One by one, the answers are revealed, with correct responses rewarded with a share of $150. As the game progresses, the couples switch places, diving headfirst into two more rounds of questions, the final one bearing a hefty $300 reward. The show's structure, however, is not set in stone. It evolves over time, introducing segments like the "Tattletale Quickie," and modifications like one-word or two-word clues, adding an exciting twist to the game’s dynamic. The climax of each episode sees the couple with the most cash winning an extra $1000, a pot of gold that is then fairly divided among their rooting section. It's a whirlwind of laughter, suspense, and, above all, love, making "Tattletales" more than just a game—it's a heartwarming exploration of relationships under the gleaming Hollywood lights.
