I have great faith in my fellow freepers. Back in the 1960's (1966-68 I think), there was a show on television in the mornings. There were people on a beach - I remember caves and waterfalls, etc. They had to run around and find giant puzzle pieces. The participants were wearing bathing suits. It was some type of game show and there were other games besides the puzzle. I can't remember the name.
Someone told me I'm crazy but it was a REAL SHOW. Anybody remember?
I vaguely remember this too....but the name escapes me.
I'm wondering if you know. I know you have a good memory. I'm hoping someone on FR remembers, if you don't. It's driving me crazy and it was not the conventional show so it's a hard show to describe.
They allowed people in bathing suits on TV back in the 60's???
Thanks Brian. I know I remember it but maybe another Freeper will. Do you remember the year(s)it was on or anything else?
I remember it too, but can't recall the title. They were teams, weren't they? Oh, my! I must be getting old.
My mom would know this, I'm sure of it! LOL! Me, I was born in '67, so I can't help. Except to...
BTTT!
Come on. Didn't you ever watch Gilligan's Island (he he)?
Beach Blanket Bingo ....oh that was a movie.
Treasure Island?
I have no idea
Go get mom then! It's amazing what people remember.
Yes, there were teams. Maybe we can put it together with all the bits and pieces.
Sigmund the Sea monster?
The funny thing is I think there is something in the title with either beach, or blanket or bingo, but not all three. Dang.
No, it wasn't Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges; oh, that's right, you said Sigmund the Sea monster. I don't even know what or who that is.
Are you skeeter?
Maybe this link will help.

I sort of remember this too. Definately teams.
Hubby bought a great book, an almanac of ALL tv shows. It only covers up until the early 70s, but this would be included. I'll check tonight and post back later. I'm not sure how the book is organized, without the title it might be hard to find it, but I'll let you know.
Sounds like Treasure Isle.
I'm gonna go look for my teeth & walker now. LOL.
