Book Description
From the late 1950s until the early 1970s, NBC's Concentration was one of American television's most popular programs. In his new book, producer Norm Blumenthal takes viewers and readers backstage for an exciting look at an era when daytime television was dominated by prizes, contestants, models, quick wits, clever turns of phrase, and the authentic excitement associated with playing alongside celebrities, solving the puzzle, winning the money, and simply appearing on television with tens of millions of people watching every moment.
