This populular quiz show debuted Feb 46 and went off the air in Mar 54. It was sponsored by Ronson and the moderator was Bill Slater. Fred VanDeventer and his family were the primary panelists. His wife Florence used her maiden name (Rinard) and their son, Bobby, used his grandmother's surname, McGuire. Later, daughter Nancy VanDeventer came on, using her real name. The only non-family panel member was Herb Polesie, the producer.
