I have been watching The Name's The Same on GSN for the past few weeks (at 2 AM CST) and I enjoy it very much. I believe that this show is one of the true classics of the Golden Age of Television (50s and 60s). I also believe that it is up there with other classics such as What's My Line and I've Got A Secret. The host Robert Q Lewis was just outstanding (he helped keep the show going in terms of interest and humor). The guest panelists like Gene Rayburn (pre Match Game with a crew cut), Joan Alexander (every time I see her on this show, I wish I had been alive (and an adult) back in the 1950s), Bill Stern (known for his sports commentary on radio), Meredith Willson (known for the Music Man musical), and Jerry Lester added an informative (many times quite humorous also) dimension to the show.
