CBD production costs for So You Think You Know main have been paid in part through a grant from Shaw's Supermarkets, providing quality and service in all their stores in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

And from the Coated Paper Division of Boise Cascade, whose employees produce paper for America.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's time to play Maine's favorite family game.

So you think you know Maine.

And now here's the host of So You Think You Know Maine.

Dick Goslin.

Hi, everyone.

Well, things are a little different tonight.

No contestants, no audience.

A skeleton crew.

Last year, we presented a celebrity show, and we've had so many requests to repeat that show that we're going to do exactly that.

So tonight, a trip down memory lane with last year's host, Lou McNally.

Let's take a look at the way we open that show.

Now, what we're going to do is, well, we have a definite, lack of contestants tonight.

So what would like to do is select some from the audience.

Is anybody interested in being on the show?

Oh, this looks wonderful.

This looks great.

This looks great.

Yeah.

So you're not saying anything.

Is there any reason?

No.

No, not at this point.

Would you care to say something later?

Possibly.

Well, that's good enough for me.

What's your first name?

Kendall.

Kendall.

That's very well done.

I like being a contestant.

Well, yeah, I speak the language.

Why not?

Who do?

Indeed.

You got an example of the language?

No, no, no vocabulary at the time.

Well, well, we'll see what happens.

We have one contestant.

Anybody else?

Oh.

Oh, look at all the.

I'm certain I have to say something to this lady.

Could you please translate?

What, oh means?

Oh.

Means I would like to.

I would like to be a contestant, please.

Like big contestant.

Are you sure?

I yes, I'm sure, I think I'm sure.

You have three seconds.

I'm sure I'm good.

Well done.

Do you want to know my name?

That's a good idea.

What's your first name?

Well, my name is Leslie.

It is?

You're kidding.

You don't look like a Leslie, I don't.

Do you feel like a Leslie?

I did before?

Why would you check for a moment?

We'll get back to you on that.

Okay, so I think we have your.

Leslie.

Yes.

Okay.

We have two contestants.

That's fine.

Indeed.

How about a third?

We have a third right here.

Let's see if we can even it off on this side of the on this side of the aisle right here.

And, And you, sir, why in heaven's name do you think we should let you be a contestant?

Well, my name is Tom, and I'll be playing for the sports car.

Okay, Tom, we gave the sports car away last week.

We're playing motorboat packages fine to them, and that's gone, too.

We're playing to the empty coffee can.

Well.

Are you still interested?

Yeah.

Pick me up.

You got it.

All right, we got a shot.

Tom is a name, I go, we have three.

Okay.

Now what?

What we could do is just look for one more contestant.

One more.

Okay.

Well, you had your hand up first there, sir.

Is there before any of these?

I'm sorry.

You're behind me.

There's nothing much I could have done.

Is there any reason why we shouldn't pick you?

Good.

What's your first name?

My name is Mike.

Mike?

Yeah.

That's a very nice name.

Very mannish name.

Is that, did your mother give you that name?

I imagine that that's worth five points.

You're already ahead.

Well.

Thank you.

We're going to have you as our fourth contestants, too.

Well, that sounds great.

What?

I guess, we're going to do that if we have, all of our four contestants here, we'll, we'll get them put back up on the, on the podium.

We only have one.

And, what's that now?

Will it hurt to be put on the podium?

No.

No, it won't hurt, I guarantee, I don't think.

Did we?

Do I get five points for asking that question?

No.

You get five taken away for it, but that's okay.

That's okay.

We could, Well, we'll see what happens.

Ladies and gentlemen, just stay tuned.

We'll get these folks up on the set and see what's on.

So now that they've got all of the contestants picked out, let's get on with the rest of the show.

Well.

Good evening.

We are definitely going to give this a try.

We've gotten four contestants who have been, lovely enough to volunteer from out of the audience, and, they're, of course, completely blown away by the, illustrious ness of our set and our judge, Rob Gardner, our general manager here at channel ten.

Glad to have you here tonight.

Are you going to be good?

No.

Good.

We're going to get we're going to get right underway then.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, on the panel, of course, you know, Mike was, was awarded five points for he even got up here, but I've already been overridden.

Leslie, there will be no deductions, so you get to start with nothing.

Thank you.

Very good.

Okay.

We're glad to see that, too.

And, with a rollicking lead.

Mike and, Tom and Leslie and Kendall for five points, here is the first toss up question.

True or false?

This will be tough.

The Augusta Union Society was incorporated in 1820 for the sole purpose of improving morals.

Kendall.

Yeah, that's true, and I can tell you how it happened.

How'd that happen?

If you got an hour and a half viewers know it was a direct take.

It was a direct result of, of the time Edna Larabee won streaking through the, the ladies flower show.

The flower show?

That's right.

I do remember that.

You're absolutely correct.

That's good for five bucks and we're on the way.

Massive audience.

The gentlemen must know that was mowers.

I thought it was.

It was 1921, I see.

Okay, are we ready?

Here.

Next question.

Listen, look at the arms.

Poised.

Steady, Leslie.

Okay.

At one time, a Portland based band called the Moon Spinners had a rhythm guitar player who went on to fame and fortune in a nonmusical vein.

Who was that?

Oh, Leslie.

Joe Brennan?

Yes.

No, I think he played.

That's wrong.

But once again, you're lucky you're still selling Carly Simon.

You have to press the button again.

Talk there.

Carly Simon, you're saying we are not talking?

Yes.

Mike, your turn.

Let me just straighten something out.

This doesn't have anything to do with me.

And the previous question didn't have anything to do with me.

That's exactly right.

Well, this shows I think, you know, Maine.

So you think you know Maine?

Maine?

Yes.

Did you get confused with the abbreviation me?

Yeah, I thought it was.

So.

You think you know me?

I say, oh, would you care to stay on anyway?

We love you winning.

You might as well.

Yeah.

I'm all for me.

There you go.

Now, what is your answer, Stephen King?

Very nicely done.

And that's how I knew I was.

I go I was ten points in the hopper.

True or false?

The Trenton Green Moths were an experimental hybrid species developed during the late 1920s by researchers at the Jackson Laboratory and Bar Harbor.

The Trenton Green Moths experimental hybrid species true or false, developed by the Jackson Laboratory at Bar Harbor.

Now that's false.

That's false.

The green green moss was, was a roller derby group in Trenton.

There was what used to be a big roller.

It is close.

That's what most remarkably close.

They were a semi-pro baseball team.

We're going to give you the points anyway, Tom.

You wait.

Oh, wait.

Okay.

Wow.

Oh I'm eager now.

Oh, okay.

Well, the timing is getting off here.

Okay.

And now we have a wonderful bit of modern technology for you here.

Contestants, this is an audio visual.

Questions.

What we ask you to do is to point your gaze towards the world's largest television.

Here in the studio.

You folks at home, of course, watch the screen.

And you also open your ears because it's audio and visual.

And what we'll do is we'll show you a little tape here.

What you're supposed to tell me is whom this is real obnoxious.

Well, could you help me up, please?

I'm standing here.

I'm on my knees in the middle of a bank.

Sure, sure.

Here, let me let me help you.

The tab or something?

You got a tap machine here somewhere?

No, I don't think we do.

I'm sorry.

Down in the dumps.

No tab machine.

I'm very sorry.

There's no soda machine anywhere from me.

Well, across the street, maybe.

Are we on?

We're in the basement.

I'm really sorry.

I can't even throw myself out of windows.

Paranoid.

Not that I'd want to.

I mean, what are those cameras?

Why, they're cameras everywhere.

That's for your safety and your protection.

Okay?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Are you sure?

Absolutely claustrophobic.

Oh, let me just get this blanket for you here.

Brian, does anyone have a guess?

Well put.

Leslie.

Tom, that's your choice.

I think that's, congressional debate.

Which house plays both houses?

One.

That's good.

That's good for five points.

Absolutely.

Right.

Yeah.

Sorry.

That's Abrams and Anderson from, channel ten show force exit 13.

You got five points for that.

We should give her five points for laughing.

Don't you think so?

Nicely.

Dang that bell.

Five points on the board.

There you go.

You be.

All righty.

Here comes your next five point question, contestants.

Lazy Lester's new occupation is bottom and chess.

There's Lester Cane chairs.

Manufacture them.

Or does he just do a lot of set?

Leslie.

He canes them?

No.

Does he manufacture them or does he do a lot of sitting?

No, it's all right, Mike.

The buzzer was right for you.

I thought it was a fire alarm.

Oh.

It's okay.

You can sit quietly.

Lazy Lester bottoms chairs.

Does he make them or setting them candle?

No, he's a he's a teacher at the elementary school in Jacksonville.

And that's how they refer to it.

Because he takes kids that don't behave.

And he makes him sit in those chairs.

Absolutely.

Right now it's going for five points and everybody else doesn't have a prayer.

There we go.

Oh isn't that amazing?

What a marvelous state of total recall.

Now.

Steady, Leslie.

Here is our next five point audio question.

Okay.

Listen up, tuna in.

Listen to this particularly brief little morsel.

And then we'll ask you a question.

Old John had a way with words.

All right, I said, they claim that when he got married, he was bringing his new bride home in the wagon.

And for some reason the horse stumbled.

John said, that's once a few hundred yards down the road.

The horse stumbled again.

John says that's twice before they got home.

The horse stumbled again and John said, that's three times.

Then he took a rifle out from under the seat and shot that horse dead.

Well, of course, his new bride was shocked and surprised at this unexpected behavior.

So she laid into him, told him everything she could lay her tongue to really lead him out, and lavender.

When she finally ran down, he just looked to her right stone cold in the eye, and he says that's once.

From that day on, they never heard of a difference of opinion on anything.

Does anybody care to take a guess?

That's getting off.

Tim Sample?

No.

That's wrong.

Anybody else?

Tom.

I think that's Maine's own version of Morse code.

Kendall Morris that's close enough to ring that bell for five points.

Okay, now we're going.

I thought that was a dumb sample, too.

I was sure it wasn't sample.

It sounds like a business.

I'm sure it is rigged.

Yeah, it's a hit and rigged.

Okay, now this is going to be a pen in hand question.

Everybody gets an opportunity at this one.

Pens in hand.

And when you have your answers down, you can just hold them straight up to the camera.

We'll be able to see what the answers are or the pen will be worth five points as well, ladies and gentlemen, for ten points, what species of tree is in the window behind you?

Can we look?

Yes, you might think it's different.

Can we go out there?

No, it's too cold.

Definitely too cold out there.

There's no slop here to put all stuff up there.

We're not supposed to show them yet.

I can't, Leslie, and you must learn to balance them properly.

Please do do do do do do do I good.

Thank you for the time.

Do.

All righty.

Mike, you get the first shot at this one.

What do you say?

Artificial.

Artificial is good for five points to Christmas tree five points.

Leslie.

Plastic.

Good for five boys.

Skunk ball.

Skunk me does look like a skunk.

I can smell it from here.

I'm sure it is the to give him points on that.

Absolutely.

Okay, we got points.

For, Well, I will take a moment, and review the score for the viewers at home.

Rob, why are we doing well?

The scoreboard shows 20 1015, 15.

There's anybody who can watch the television.

Can see as to whether that's the real score.

Not, sir.

Not sure we may decide to change at any moment.

All right, here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, another five point question coming your way.

Is this a pen?

One?

No, no, no, you can put that down for a moment.

Thank you all.

Listen to the following.

I'll have your question.

A young man of my acquaintance.

Yes, I very good.

Beaver Cleaver, Beaver Cleaver?

No, that's like deduction.

I, young man in my acquaintance, once jeered at his aunt's baldness, for which rivalry he was soon punished.

What happened?

Why, in less than a month, his aunt died.

Left him a farm in Oxford County.

Name this well-known humorist.

Mike, the aunt was bald.

That's right.

And he laughed at her because she was bald.

And then she died and punished him by leaving him the farm in Oxford County, right.

Are we supposed to ethical question involved in this, or.

I suppose you could delve briefly as Tom.

I think she left him.

Maine Yankee.

But yeah.

That's right.

Well, let's see if we have a consensus on the panel.

Don't you folks all agree that that might be a reasonable handles?

Pencils ahead, I don't know.

Okay, let's give meaning five points for that.

What do you think?

Well, the question was, who know what?

Who answered the question?

Oh, so not to answer the question, right.

So that's good for five points I think all the way around said punch all the way around.

Are you happy that the okay, I'm a little confused.

They're happy again.

Okay, here's another five point question.

This one's serious.

Now I believe your Kendall's is just cranking up.

There is 2530 35.

That's good.

That's a serious one now okay.

Oh.

You ready?

Oh.

Now what's main author once said women are the real architects of society.

Yes.

Mike.

Phyllis Schlafly, which main author once said women are the real architects of society.

If I'm wrong, Francesca Lloyd right.

Which main author once said women are the real architects of society?

Leslie Harriet Beecher Stowe yes, that's absolutely right.

My point.

I'm going to stick with my original show.

My grandchildren were.

Kendall, did you have a guess on that one?

Wasn't?

Well, I guess it's a guess now.

I didn't know it at the time.

That may have been, may have been the rule.

Okay.

Offensive hard question coming up if you found your body again.

Leslie, just as well.

I was wrong.

Time gave me the answer is not 50 points, Tom.

Now, this is also going to be complicated.

You'll have to watch the world's largest television screen at the same time.

It's complicated.

Yes it is.

I know it's tough, but it'll be worth five points if we do it right.

So if you'll watch this piece of video right here, we'll have a five point pence in hand question for you.

Momentarily.

Leader of the pack.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Father knows best.

That's.

Oh.

Favorite Peter, I don't care for Europe.

Peppers need you make.

It's a good time.

It was a snake.

That is not an island.

Well, that's, he's going to push her in.

You can.

You know, man, I you've seen this before.

Tippecanoe and Tyler too.

Oh, wow.

That's a mistake.

The third.

Stromness.

Oh, that's downtown Norwich.

Well, I've been there.

I, I've the middle of the night, remember who that was a f sharp.

I think.

But question, contestants.

How many islands are in the state of Maine?

The question pens in hand, please.

How many islands are in the state of Maine?

I was just.

At Chuck Brewer's team, which has been with us all season to seven.

All righty.

We'll start with you, Mike.

Down at stage left, and you will tell us, please, how many islands are Maine?

None.

None under the.

What?

If I had been allowed to continue what I would have said under the water?

It was just one big piece of land.

Well, all right, we have ridgeline because there.

And I think that's probably not close enough.

Tom, what do you say?

So what's about 99 and the reason why you thought of that number?

I live in Portland, Maine, and they always brag about the Calendar Islands 365.

And then I added a few more.

Thank you.

Very good.

That's an extremely logical train of thought.

But, you know, way, way.

I mean, Leslie, you say a wicked bunch.

I think that's right.

That's close.

That's the best.

Kendall's good stuff.

Pretty good.

Kendall, what's your guess?

There ain't any real ones.

And, what you see out there that you think are islands are abandoned.

Pickup truck.

I think a wicked bunch is better than this.

I think they eat chicken.

Five I think the pair on the left gets on a wicked bunch and pickup truck is a good truck.

Oh, I forgot, all right.

Here's another illustrious.

Oh, no.

Yes, you may.

Leslie.

Not in the pocketbook, please.

Leave a to leave it on the, Yeah, but we like to keep those.

This is an audio question, contestants.

And, of course, if you just take a moment to listen to to this following excerpt, we will see if we can't have a a question for you as well.

Listen up.

Now, central to wind in the Pines, across the camp road from his own house and to the right was the Pavilion area, site of all official meetings, formerly a pen for the communes hogs, Carl and Gravel.

The rutted mud rectangle when he first took over the pavilion area was a thing of beauty.

Now neat rows of chairs and benches face to pulpit.

A row of sapling hedges lined its borders.

All righty.

I have just heard an excerpt from Firewater Pond.

Who wrote the book?

Leslie.

He did your right.

That's my devil's book.

Of course.

And that's good for five points.

Mike gets none for Isabel.

So I guess my point is, I think makes a good five points for writing the book.

That's right.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Audience.

Absolutely.

00I like so he gets the points and the royalties and the movie sale.

Well that's what I'd like to see.

Tom get fives you what audience.

What do you think?

Should Tom have five.

000?

I'm sorry, but overruled.

Mike.

And the score stands.

Here we go with our next five point question.

Ladies and gentlemen, in 1900, Mrs. MD Hanson of Portland became the first woman in America to receive a license to do what?

Is pen in hand?

No, this is just jump on it, Leslie, drive.

That's right.

To drive a car.

That's crazy.

No, the point is that the real true in which.

Da da da da da da.

Can I get five points for sitting next to.

We may be able to arrange that.

Here's another question.

For five points.

You got 50 tickets.

In 1911, an internationally known performer jumped, handcuffed into Portland's four River oh to the to promote his appearance at a local theater named him Place.

Internationally known performer jumped into the fall River, handcuffed Leslie Kendall Morse.

Thank you.

Right.

Okay.

Oh.

That's that's wrong.

But there is.

That's the buzzer.

No Tom Houdini.

Harry Houdini is right.

You get the five points and that's the makes it a little bit more of a horse race.

Our illustrious station manager, Rob Gardner, will now review the scores for the folks at home.

1911.

I don't know how Leslie got 35 points, but she's got more than the guys do.

That's a that's a wonderful record on feminist questions has been excellent.

Oh that's good.

So you still drove okay.

That's the difference.

Are we ready for the next question?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Right okay.

A former radio comic and vaudeville entertainer, this man retired to Maine and delighted Mainers with his humorous columns and Downeast magazine until his death in 1978. Who was this man?

Died in radio comic.

Vaudeville entertainer, retired.

Maine Downeast magazine columns, his death in 1978, and Kendall.

Oh, I touched the backside a little.

I didn't realize you said he was dead.

This person I'm thinking of is not really dead.

It's not really, really.

That's open to discussion.

I take this joke, joy.

Doc Rockwell is the questions doc Rockwell, cigar?

All righty.

True or false?

You get it?

The no.

As a small yes.

Okay.

Are we ready?

This is a tweet debating the last question here.

Needless to say, I can only accept one answer.

True or false?

A tree squeak is a small nocturnal rodent found in the woodlands of Maine.

It's true or false, Mike.

True.

That's false.

Okay, as far as we know, there is no such animal at all.

It's bigger.

But he got a six year old year.

I know what year it was.

A tree squeak.

Like if a tree squeaks.

Squeak.

Actually, there is such a thing as a tree squeak, but a lot of people don't believe it because the, the running fence state gets all the credit.

You're saying?

Is that what?

Yes, yes.

Okay.

Well, it's definitely not a small nocturnal rodent last we checked, but that's interesting information.

You just add oil pens and hands coming up already.

Okay.

Oh, what does that mean?

Shaw's table is closed and Mastercard accepted.

That ends are around.

And, well, let's see it.

It appears at this point, what we're supposed to be doing is, is introducing our contestants.

That's usually what we do at this point in time.

So what we'll do is we'll take off the, the masks of you folks at home, right down to the introduction.

The brass tacks here.

And, of course, thank our for contestants for being so nice to come up out of the audience and come down to the studio today.

We'll take a moment to, introduce each one of until you first of all, of course, Kendall is, none other than Kendall Morse.

And glad to have you here today, Kendall.

And welcome.

Thanks for coming down.

What are your plans for the rest of the world?

Not much left in the spring, but, that ends Monday.

The summer.

Compensating for the time between now and when this is shown.

Saturday night, June 25th, in Rockport at the opera House.

That'll be tonight.

That's mean.

That's right.

We'll be having a storytellers convention, a humorous festival, whatever you want to call it.

That's going to be quite a large, traditional thing.

Now, half a dozen more.

We're doing it every year.

Something like ten, 12 people showed up last year.

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

It's, it's good to get that, continue.

Traditionally, we hope.

Yes.

Yeah, we can afford to keep doing it.

I like it, I like it.

Well, it's, it's a marvelous way to, to continue the history of the state, and we applaud you for it.

Well, everything's next on the line.

I suppose we'll have to do these next two folks together.

They were nice enough to come up out of the audience separately, but we should probably take the wool off our eyes and explain that.

Leslie Abrams and Tom Anderson, better known as, of course, Abrams and Anderson High five.

What precisely have you got up your sleeves this year?

We got two shows last night, two shows tonight.

And, we like being busy, and we're going to be doing the main festival August 13th.

And I still think I should get 50 points for that one.

Well, I'll take that under advisement.

Leslie.

Of course.

You're, you're playing Leslie at this moment?

Yes.

And I believe I won.

Kind of a dream come true.

Actually, I think you did.

All right, so I think that came up.

Well, All right.

It was a nice view, of course, to, to be here.

We'll see you at the main festival and probably a couple of other spots this summer to.

Thanks for having us.

All right, last but certainly not least.

Yeah, at the end of the, at the end of the podium there, Michael Kimball has made it in today.

And Michael, another Maine humorist, glad you could make it to.

What are you up to this hour?

We're, my partner, Mark Melnikov, and I are getting ready to come out with a new Maniac Express.

All right.

Of course, the old one.

Oh, it didn't tight on this.

That's in my collection.

All the names are sitting here.

The real thing.

So on a couple, we've got our reporters out there making the news wherever they can.

And anything about Casco Bay.

Plenty about the mountains.

Mountains?

Are we going to address the border wars?

Yes.

As a matter of fact, we have found something out about New Hampshire stealing Maine over the past 50 years.

Well, okay.

Well, let's, we'll keep that for the, for the paper.

Well, something to look for.

So the next maniac expression, I'll go out and buy it as well.

We hope you enjoy that little leap into the past.

Next week, we bring you our final show of the season.

We'll find out who are 1988 89 champion is going to be.
