I've Got A Secret Website

GETTING STARTED

This is a website devoted to the TV series I've Got a Secret.  If you know nothing at all about the series (Seriously? Nothing?), or if you'd like a little bit of insight and background about what we're doing here,  THIS PAGE is a good place to start. Otherwise, use the drop down menu above (or the links in the footer below) to explore what we have to offer.  There is a page for every episode of the original series (all 681 of them) regardless of how much or how little we might know about each one.  There are also indexes to search for your favorite celebrities or subjects , episode guides broken down by calendar year (not by season) and lots more.  Whether you know a little or a lot about the show, we hope you find something you like.

WHAT'S NEW?

1/3/2025 - We start the new year off with a very special treat.  On a trip to Washington DC over the holidays, friend and colleague Marshall Akers visited the Library of Congress and watched four episodes of Secret for us, dutifully taking notes and passing them along.  These are kinescopes that were never shown by either GSN or Buzzr, so they haven't been seen since their original airings some seventy years ago!  One of them is the notorious episode from 1953 featuring Monty Woolley ( E28 ), who admitted live on air that his "secret" was made up for him by the show's staff.  For the first time, read the details of exactly what he said!  Other listings that have been substantially updated because of Marshall's efforts are a 1954 show with Ralph Bellamy ( E73 ), a 1958 episode featuring Charley Weaver and a surprise guest ( E297 ), and a 1960 episode with Laraine Day ( E398 ).

Marshall's real business at the Library of Congress was to watch some To Tell the Truth episodes for his own interests.  His website To Tell The Truth on the Web is devoted to that classic panel show in much the same way ours is to Secret. (His has been around a lot longer than ours has too!)  Please visit his site to find out more about that series.

Through the ongoing efforts of Kevin Segura, we are slowly adding details to the unaired episodes from 1955.  We've got all the episodes through June covered.  Plus you never know when you might stumble across a new detail or two you haven't noticed before.  Still ahead are more episodes never before seen, plus some new goodies.  Enjoy!
