And what television made hung up her apron and moved to Pittsburgh to do the Lord's work?
Find out as we all play The Pennsylvania game.
[music playing] The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by Uni-Marts, Inc., with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.
Uni-Marts, more than a convenience store.
[music playing] Now, let's get the game started.
Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, the radio and television star, the flamboyant Lynn Cullen.
[applause] Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Down.
Down.
Enough already.
What a raucous crowd we have today.
I think we're in for a good time.
A good time.
Let's meet our victims-- I mean, our panel.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Paul Knight is producer and co-host of Weather World, that is a weather magazine show, which is broadcast weeknights on PBS stations across the state.
He also teaches weather forecasting at Penn State.
Welcome to Paul Knight.
[applause] And Cynthia King is the director and senior mentor of the minority staff development center at Penn State.
She's originally from Pittsburgh and now lives in State College, where she holds, so I'm told the Midwest championship title.
That is correct.
Yeah, whatever that is.
[applause] And last but not least, John Piccirillo is a 30-year broadcast veteran.
He grew up on Long Island, and was extradited to central Pennsylvania in 1968.
He is general manager of WALY 104 Radio in Altoona, and part owner of a cable advertising sales company, and a cellular telephone agency.
Please welcome the very busy, John Piccirillo.
[applause] Great audience, great panel, great questions.
Let's get to number one.
[music playing] ANNOUNCER: Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, and Henry Frick were all members of the exclusive South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, which many say was responsible for-- A, the decimation of Pennsylvania's virgin timber forest; B, the Johnstown flood of 1889; C, the demise of salmon in Pennsylvania streams; or D, pushing river otters to the brink of extinction.
[laughs] Pushing river otters to the brink of extinction, or were they responsible for the decimation of Pennsylvania's virgin timber forests, the Johnstown flood, or the demise of salmon.
My heavens, whatever it was, nice bunch of guys, huh?
Gee.
You guys have your questions, all your answers, all logged in?
Yes, yes, come on, Paul.
All right.
All right, I made up my mind.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. What is it?
Well, I think this is an easy one.
I think it was the Johnstown flood, and that's why you had me here.
LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.
[laughs] That is?
That's why we had him here.
It was an easy one.
The Johnstown flood.
That's what I think.
That's what he thinks.
What do you think, Cynthia?
Well, I selected C, the demise of salmon in Pennsylvania streams.
I didn't know that Pennsylvania streams had anything other than catfish.
[laughter] Yeah, I haven't seen a salmon in a Pennsylvania stream in some time.
That's true.
CYNTHIA KING: Ever.
Oh, yeah.
[laughter] Well, we're going to you, John.
God, I hate to agree with the weather man because he never gets it right.
But I got a hunch one time, at least on this show, I'm going to agree with Paul and go with Sam.
LYNN CULLEN: This is it.
Go with B. LYNN CULLEN: OK. Johnstown flood.
LYNN CULLEN: The Johnstown flood, which in turn, may have wiped out all the salmon.
Salmon.
That's right.
Salmons.
LYNN CULLEN: The fishes, I mean, the Salmons.
Oh, shoot.
Let's get the answer.
NARRATOR: The answer is B, the Johnstown flood of 1889.
The south fork fishing and hunting club owned Lake Conemaugh, its dam and surrounding land.
Club members, including Andrew Carnegie, Andrew Mellon, and Henry Frick, failed to heed warnings that the dam was badly in need of repair and a serious threat to the residents of Johnstown.
On May 31, 1889, after nearly two months of constant rain, the dam gave way with an explosive roar, releasing 5 billion tons of water, killing 2200 people, and causing more than $10 million in damages, making it one of the worst disasters in us history.
You know, I just finished a book written by Pulitzer prize winning and Pittsburgh born author David McCullough called "The Johnstown Flood."
And I recommend it highly.
You can imagine if a tragedy of that magnitude happened today, 2200 innocent people swept away and killed, the flood of lawyers descending upon Johnstown yeah, yeah, it'd be extraordinary.
[laughter] Maybe we better go to question number two before somebody sues me.
[laughter] NARRATOR: In 1948, John Wilson, an appliance store owner in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania, developed something that caused a local sensation.
Was it the first-- A, cable television system?
B, automatic dishwasher?
C, home air conditioning?
Or D, in-sink garbage disposal?
LYNN CULLEN: Well, whichever one it was, I want to thank him.
[laughter] I use all those things-- cable television, automatic dishwasher, home air conditioning, and an in-sink garbage disposal.
All right.
What did John Wilson give us?
I need your answers logged in panel.
And Cynthia, what do you think?
I don't have a clue.
[laughter] And I'm not real sure that I care.
[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: Oh, you're getting an attitude on it.
A real attitude.
I didn't win, but I picked D, in case this is a garbage answer.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. [laughter] Wow.
John, that's a hard act to follow.
Well, I, kind of, half agree with Cynthia.
It's either D or A.
But being in the cable business, I got a hunch it's A. LYNN CULLEN: OK. OK.
If you're in the business, you should know.
JOHN PICCIRILLO: I know.
That's why I think-- I think that's the right answer.
You do think it's A. OK. PAUL KNIGHT: Well, I have to agree with Cynthia.
I think it's got to be D, and I'm just going to trash this question.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, no, no.
Oh, my.
Oh, my.
I knew it was going to be one of those days.
We could tell.
Let's-- let's find out which one of our panelists has the right answer, if any.
NARRATOR: The answer is A-- cable television system.
In 1947, John Walson was having trouble selling television sets from his Mahanoy City Appliance Store.
The mountainous terrain made it difficult to get decent reception of the three network TV stations in Philadelphia.
An electrical contractor by training, Walson erected an antenna on a nearby mountaintop, and ran a wire from the tower to three TV sets in his store window.
The display caused a local sensation.
And by mid 1948, Walson had convinced 727 residents to sign up for his service.
He charged subscribers $100 for first-- and a $2 monthly users fee.
Before too long, entrepreneurs from around the country had picked up on Wilson's invention.
Community antenna television was born.
It looks like the cable line outside my house.
[laughs] Yeah.
Actually, several people, we wouldn't be surprised claim to have developed the first cable television system.
But the Cable Television Museum at Penn state says John Walson is the man.
Let's get to meet these folks up close and personal a little bit.
Paul, I just read in "The New York Times."
It was a Sunday "New York Times," a pretty big article that state college is to weather what Hollywood is to movies.
Yes.
LYNN CULLEN: That's what they said, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We call it the mecca of meteorology.
The mecca of media?
Why?
I mean, why-- how does state college end up-- Well, we have the largest meteorology department in the country, and for that matter, in the world.
We also have the national weather service has moved to state college.
In addition, there's AccuWeather, which is one of the largest private forecasting companies in the country.
LYNN CULLEN: So all you guys who don't know what you're doing are all here.
That's right.
It's the blind leading the blind.
[laughs] That's amazing.
Wow.
PAUL KNIGHT: Thank you, Lynn.
Pleasure.
Cynthia, I introduced you saying you're the wait.
Now, you're the state college reigning bid whist champion.
That's correct.
LYNN CULLEN: Please.
I mean, I see that you're a-- you're an assertive woman.
I don't want you to get mad at me.
I don't have slightest idea what that is.
Well, bid whist is a card game that is particular to the African-American tradition.
And so, we get together, and we play that, and it's, sort of, a cross between maybe bridge and pinnacle.
And one of the requirements of the game is that you can talk a lot of what we call "Smack."
[laughs] And so, you intimidate the people who are playing.
LYNN CULLEN: I can see why you're the champ.
I-- now, I understand.
Now, I understand.
That sounds fun.
Oh, it's a great time.
Boy, cars are beyond me.
Go fish is as much as I can.
[laughs] Absolutely.
OK. You-- I here about the information highway, right?
JOHN PICCIRILLO: Superhighway.
Superhighway.
We keep hearing about it.
It's right out, right down the street.
LYNN CULLEN: You're already on it.
I mean, I hear what you own-- you own a radio station, you're a cable person, you talk on a cellular phone.
Cellular phone.
LYNN CULLEN: --in your car with a headset.
Yeah.
LYNN CULLEN: Where are we going on this highway?
I'm not so sure I want to get on.
Well, we're going to talk an awful lot in the next century or so.
I'm not so sure if we're going to make any more sense, but this is going to be a lot of easy ways to communicate between each other.
Whether you're in your car, your bathtub, sitting here at a television station, wherever.
The superhighway is going to be a great place to be.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. And I'm just looking for the on ramp.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean-- and maybe in a few years, we'll all be looking for the exit ramp too.
JOHN PICCIRILLO: It could be.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm one of these people who's not so sure about all of this.
I'm sure of one thing-- next question.
NARRATOR: On may 4, 1891, Dr. Daniel Williams, a native of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, proudly opened the doors of Provident Hospital and Training School Association in Chicago.
What was Provident Hospital's distinction?
Was it the country's-- A, first maternity hospital?
B, first hospital to employ male nurses?
C, first interracial hospital?
Or D, first plastic surgery hospital?
LYNN CULLEN: It was a first, in some sort, maternity, male nurses, interracial, or plastic surgery hospital.
Take a pick, lock it in, and I need to know your answers.
John?
This is a real guess.
I think it's A, maternity.
LYNN CULLEN: First maternity hospital, Yes, I do.
LYNN CULLEN: --you think, Provident Hospital.
OK. PAUL KNIGHT: I think-- I think with a name like provident, though, they probably were the first ones to employ male nurses.
LYNN CULLEN: With it-- I'm not even going to-- I'm not going to ask the follow-up question.
OK. OK. [laughs] Cynthia.
And I selected C, interracial hospital, only because it's in keeping with what my position responsibilities are.
[laughs] LYNN CULLEN: That's absolutely true.
Well, isn't that nice.
And wouldn't it be nice if it were the correct answer on top of it?
I don't have any points.
Anything will help.
OK. Well, let's see.
Maybe-- maybe there's some Providence in this for you.
Let's see the answer.
NARRATOR: The answer is C, interracial hospital.
Dr. Daniel Williams, who was part Black, French, and Indian, was an advocate for the advancement of minorities in the medical field.
Prior to the opening of provident hospital in Chicago, Black women were not admitted into nursing schools, and hospital patients were routinely segregated.
Dr. Williams made it possible to end segregation among patients and to employ an interracial staff.
LYNN CULLEN: OK.
Here's where the score stands now-- John has two, Cynthia and Paul both have one, and we've got a tight game going.
[applause] [music playing] And here's our first clue for our Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Get it right on this, and you get three points.
Born in Philadelphia in 1921.
He was the son of a Black mother, and an Italian father.
Born in Philly in 1921.
He was the son of a Black mother, and an Italian father.
You ruminate on that for a bit, and we're going to ask you to think while you also give your attention to our next question.
NARRATOR: While the custom of decorating Christmas trees goes as far back as the 1500s in Strasbourg, Germany, another Christmas tree tradition can be traced to York, Pennsylvania, in the mid 1800s.
Is it the first, A, public display of a decorated Christmas tree?
B, Christmas tree trimmed with strands of popcorn?
C, Christmas tree plantation?
Or D, topping the tree with an angel decoration?
LYNN CULLEN: Now, of course, not much reason to know that.
[laughs] So, I suspect our panel is going to be guessing, unless you've, for some reason, been to York, and might.
Public display, popcorn, tree plantation, or angel on the top.
One of those.
One of those is a Christmas tree tradition that's traced to York, PA. OK, Paul, what do you think?
I think it's the display-- the public display of a Christmas tree.
LYNN CULLEN: Any reason why you think that?
Well, and way back in the ethers of my mind, I seem to remember that was the case.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, OK.
He thinks he maybe knows that.
Cynthia, what do you think?
I picked D, and I don't know why.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. [laughter] No ethers in your mind?
Giving off any-- No ethers, no cobwebs, no angel hair.
Just a D. OK. John, you look-- I have a low pressure center in my mind, and-- [laughter] --you speak on the panel here with Paul.
You have, anyway, I think it-- I think it might be C because there are so many Christmas trees in the State of Pennsylvania.
It had to start somewhere.
LYNN CULLEN: Yes, it did, indeed.
Well, we're all over the board, panel.
We've got an A, we've got a D, we've got a C, and I don't know if we have a correct answer.
Let's find out.
NARRATOR: The answer is A.
The first recorded public display of a Christmas tree was held in 1852 in front of the county courthouse in York, Pennsylvania.
The tree was illuminated with candles, and trimmed with cut paper decorations.
Today, Pennsylvania is the fifth largest Christmas tree producer in the nation, with more than 42 million trees growing throughout the state.
[music playing] OK. Just one acre of Christmas trees produce enough oxygen for 18 people in one day.
That's one of those facts.
That-- I'm sure you felt like you needed to know.
Oh, boy.
Let's go to the next question.
NARRATOR: When they're full grown, black bears in the Poconos area of Pennsylvania have been known to tip the scales at 800 pounds.
But at birth, they're a mere eight inches long and weigh only about a half pound.
When are most black bear cubs born?
A, January?
B, April?
C, June?
Or D, September?
LYNN CULLEN: Well, isn't that interesting?
They're all, sort of, born at the same time.
Is it January?
Is it April?
Is it June?
Or is it September?
Take a pick.
Did you do it already?
You guys are fast.
Did you do it?
Yeah.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. OK. Cynthia.
What month?
I selected September.
It's my birthday.
And not that I look like a black bear, but just because we may have something in common.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, who knows.
Who knows.
Who knows.
Oh, boy.
John.
Well, I selected-- I selected April.
I figured they probably got married in June, and about 11 months later, you know, I end up with a couple of kids.
Paul?
I said April also.
LYNN CULLEN: You did?
Not because I want to agree with John, because he's already insulted me a couple times.
But I know that when I take my kids up to the pens, up here at Penn state, they're always having their little ones in April.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, they are, are they?
Yeah.
LYNN CULLEN: Well, we'll see about that.
The black bear?
Let's see about that.
PAUL KNIGHT: Yeah.
NARRATOR: The answer is A-- January.
At birth, black bear cubs are relatively small and uniform in size because of a reproductive process known as delayed implantation.
Regardless of when conception occurs, fertilized eggs will not implant in the uterus until late November or early December.
As a result, most cubs are born in January during hibernation, after only a six week development period.
LYNN CULLEN: OK.
There you have it.
See, they act like they know it all, but they don't know much of anything.
So, all those little bears are Capricorns, like me.
That's right.
I was born in January.
Let's see how the score is.
Paul and John both have two, Cynthia has one, and we still have a tight game.
[applause] [music playing] Here is our second clue for the Mystery Pennsylvanian.
He was the fourth Black player in the major league-- leagues.
And the second Black player elected to the hall of fame.
Fourth Black player in the major leagues.
Second Black player elected to the hall of fame.
Born in Philly in 1921.
Son of a black mother and Italian father.
Doesn't it drive you crazy when you just can't quite get at that name because you probably know it.
You probably know it.
OK. We'll move on with the game.
And here's our next question.
NARRATOR: In 1805, an innovative engineer named Oliver Evans gave Philadelphians a glimpse of the future when he built an oruktor amphibious.
Was it the first A, automobile?
B, tram?
C, submarine?
Or D, motorboat?
LYNN CULLEN: My heavens.
He invented an oruktor amphibious?
What was that?
An automobile?
A tram?
A submarine?
Or a motorboat?
An amphibious?
Don't look at me.
Plug something in.
I don't know.
OK. John, what is it?
Well, if I could change my answer, I'd say C or D, but I was too quick on the button, and I selected B. LYNN CULLEN: You selected a tram.
OK. OK.
I think I blew it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to say B also, but then I thought, amphibious.
JOHN PICCIRILLO: Yeah.
--that's got to be either a motorboat or submarine.
So I thought, motorboat.
LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, like an amphibian, it has to have something to do with water or something.
OK, that makes some sense.
Cynthia?
CYNTHIA KING: And I selected C because I'm getting desperate.
[laughs] LYNN CULLEN: That's a good reason.
She's getting desperate.
OK. We've got submarines, trams, and motorboats.
But I don't know if we have a correct answer.
Let's find out.
NARRATOR: The answer is A-- automobile.
Although he is seldom credited with it, Oliver Evans actually built the first automobile.
Evans was interested in demonstrating the potential of one of his inventions, the high pressure steam engine.
To do so, he proposed that the Lancaster Turnpike Company commissioned him to build a steam wagon that could travel from Philadelphia to Lancaster in two days.
A trip that in 1804, took most horses three days to complete.
However, Evans, who was frequently dismissed as a schemer was turned down.
Undeterred, he constructed a wheeled vehicle and a oruktor amphibious in 1805 that was powered by one of his steam engines.
Evans used it to move a boat from his milling store in Philadelphia to the Schuylkill River.
Although the trip was successful, the idea was too far ahead of its time.
And Evans never again attempted to put a steam engine on wheels.
Boy, that's interesting-- too far ahead of his time, 1805, an automobile.
Now, if it hadn't been ahead of its time, I mean, there would have been tank battles at Gettysburg, and the whole history of the nation, the world would be different.
I mean, all because of this oruktor amphibious or whatever it was.
Just think about that.
No?
OK. Well, then think about this.
[laughter] NARRATOR: The Office of Attorney General was organized by act of Congress on September 24, 1789.
How many Pennsylvanians to date have been US Attorney General?
Is it-- A, one?
B, 11?
C, 18?
Or D, 31?
LYNN CULLEN: OK. One, 11, 18, 31.
Hot.
Hot.
[laughs] Which one is it?
How many attorney generals can we brag about or be embarrassed about or whatever it is?
Paul?
I'm going to say B because-- which is 11.
I can't believe it's only one, and I can't think it's as many as 18 or 31.
LYNN CULLEN: Right.
So, you're, sort of, a moderate, kind of, a person.
Very moderate.
Cynthia, you don't see moderate to me.
But which did you pick?
Actually, I picked one.
LYNN CULLEN: You picked one?
Basically, because the number is synonymous of how I rank myself.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, shit.
[laughter] All right.
John?
I thought I'd just be different and picked D, 31.
I don't know.
LYNN CULLEN: 31?
I don't know.
LYNN CULLEN: That's a bit excessive, don't you think?
I'm, kind of, an excessive guy.
Yes, perhaps so.
Let's see, if any of these guys guessed right because they're all guessing.
We know it.
NARRATOR: The answer is B, 11.
11 US attorneys general have been Pennsylvania's.
The most recent of whom was former Pennsylvania Governor Richard Thornburgh.
William Bradford, a quaker who served under president Washington, was the first Pennsylvanian to hold that office.
Jeremiah Black and Edwin Stanton both served in that post under another Pennsylvanian, President James Buchanan.
[music playing] OK. We only had one president from this state, Buchanan.
But lots of attorney generals-- attorneys general-- attorney general-- attorneys general, that's right.
Who knows?
Oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
How about another question?
NARRATOR: What television made hung up her apron and moved to Pittsburgh to do the lord's work?
A, "Alice of the Brady Bunch?"
B, "Hazel of Hazel?"
C, "Mrs. Garrett of Different Strokes?"
Or D, "Florence of the Jeffersons?"
[music playing] LYNN CULLEN: OK. One of them did hang up her apron and moved to Pittsburgh for some reason.
Oh, yes, to do the lord's work-- excuse me.
Alice?
Hazel?
Mrs. Garrett?
Or Florence?
Cynthia, what do you think?
Oh, I can't remember what I put.
I think C. LYNN CULLEN: Well, let's get your name.
Yes, it's-- C was it.
I think Mrs. Garrett.
I know that "Florence of the Jeffersons" did not.
And I don't think Hazel's in Pittsburgh.
She wasn't there when I checked last week.
LYNN CULLEN: OK, yeah.
Well, I live there.
I haven't seen her recently either.
John?
Well, I wish Cynthia had told me because I picked D. LYNN CULLEN: You did pick D. Obviously, I have the wrong answer.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, well, so what else is new?
Paul?
Well, I picked D because I can't remember Hazel.
That's before my time.
[booing] LYNN CULLEN: Oh, yeah, right.
All right.
Before the audience turns on you completely, let's find out the right answer.
Quick.
NARRATOR: The answer is A-- "Alice of the Brady Bunch."
Pittsburgh native Anne B Davis, played the role of the irrepressible housekeeper Alice Nelson in the hit TV series "The Brady Bunch."
Alice provided the glue and the laughs that kept this blended family together.
The series made its original run from 1969 to 1974, and is today one of the most popular reruns of all time.
When Davis is not joining the original cast for a "Brady Bunch Reunion Special" or appearing on stage and screen throughout the world, she can be found in Pittsburgh living a Christian life.
[music playing] LYNN CULLEN: OK.
Here's your last shot at our Mystery Pennsylvanian.
A three-time National League Most Valuable Player.
His career was cut short when an auto accident in 1953 left him a quadriplegic.
Born in Philadelphia in 21.
He was the son of a Black mother and Italian father.
Fourth Black player in the major leagues.
Second black player elected to the hall of fame.
Career cut short.
Tragic auto accident in 53.
Three-time National League MVP.
I've got a hunch that that last one might have gotten it for you.
OK. Paul?
Well, this is it.
This is the-- this is-- Well-- LYNN CULLEN: Yeah.
Obviously, I had no clue to start.
LYNN CULLEN: Then you went to Jackie Robinson?
Well, I realized that's not right.
LYNN CULLEN: And then you went to Roy Campanella with an exclamation point.
Yes.
LYNN CULLEN: Pretty sure of yourself.
Cynthia?
I feel very sure.
LYNN CULLEN: You-- Tanner?
Campanella on your second shot.
And Campanella on third.
You seem pretty sure of yourself.
Well, you're always pretty sure of yourself.
John?
Fellow long islander also.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, that's true.
You got him on two and three, Campanella.
We seem to have a definite surge here for Campanella.
And I think we're probably right.
Let's check it out for sure.
[music playing] NARRATOR: Roy Campanella, a hall of fame catcher and one of the all-time greats in Brooklyn Dodgers history was born in Philadelphia in 1921.
The son of a Black mother and Italian father.
His love of baseball was restricted by the racial barriers of that time.
In 1946, nine years after he played his first professional game for the Negro National League, and the year that Jackie Robinson became the first black in organized baseball.
Campanella was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Two years later, he made his dodger debut, the fourth black player in the major leagues.
In 1969, he again followed Robinson.
This time, as the second Black player elected to the hall of fame.
A three time national league MVP.
Campanella's playing career was tragically cut short in 1958 when an auto accident left him a quadriplegic.
He remained with the Dodgers as a special coach, and in community services until his death in June of 1993.
Roy Campanella, a famous Pennsylvanian.
All right.
Roy Campanella, obviously a very famous Pennsylvanian.
Good man.
Heck of a ballplayer.
And our final score, you want to know?
We do have a tie.
And we had a tight game all the way through Paul, John-- both had four points.
Cynthia with three.
So the prize goes to the loser?
So we've got prizes for both gentlemen.
Wonderful game.
[applause] JOHN PICCIRILLO: Thank you.
We've got a tasty cake gift pack made in Philadelphia.
And this is an electronic pepper mill with a light from chief-- Chef Specialties, excuse me, from Chef's Specialties in Smith-- Smethport, I believe, Pennsylvania.
