Who's The Boss?

In further about game shows. I remember back sometime in the early 60s, Florence henderson was on The Match Game when it first started. A question was asked "When is a girl too old to spank." Florence just squirmed a little in her seat then laughed "Oh! my mother still goes to it!" Then in the same era, Ruta Lee was with Bill Bixby on a pantomime quiz program where the phrase Bill was playing out was "Momma spanks!" Ruta couldn't get it right, so Bill walked over and took Ruta by the wrist. Then as he pulled her toward him the station went into a commercial break. When they came back, Ruta was sitting in a chair with her hands over her face blushing! Nothing was said but we just knew Ruta got spanked off the air. And she did have on a fairly short skirt...This must've been a grand sight to see!
