478 Punchlines
First viewed : 1981
Here's another show that you don't really want to admit you ever watched.
This terrible cross between Celebrity Squares and Blankety Blank was hosted by the enduringly useless Lennie Bennett. Eight celebrities of variable, but usually low, calibre recited silly phrases which were the punchlines to a series of jokes read out by Lennie. Two contestants , assisted by two more , generally higher order , celebrities , had to match the joke to its punchline. One of the phrases was a red herring.
Very little brain power was expended ; the show relied on cheap innuendo for laughs
The show ran for five seasons from the beginning of 1981 to the end of 1984
