Name That Sound
Name That Tune was a game show which ran on radio from 1952 until 1953 and then transferred to television until 1959. It was revived for syndication in the 1970s and again in the 1980s. The concept, as the title implies, was for contestants to identify melodies played by the in-house orchestra.
