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?

12/17/25 - We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season.  If your loved ones prove to be too much for you, we invite you to unwind in the world of I've Got a Secret with us.  Here's what's new to the website since our last update in June.

NEW VIDEO! - Buzzr has released on YouTube FOUR "new" episodes of the series, shows that haven't been seen since their original live airings around 70 years ago.  Buzzr does seem to be making this a regular thing, and we're thrilled.  You can see the episodes HERE HERE HERE and HERE, and you can read our summaries, often with more detail than the episode offers, here on our site.  They are E70 with Stu Erwin, E117 with Lauritz Melchior E118 with Edward Everett Horton and E119 with Rudy Vallee,   

NEW SUMMARIES - Our friend and colleague Marshall Akers has once again traveled to the Library of Congress to watch kinescopes of old episodes that neither Buzzr nor GSN ever aired.  As always, it would be better for them to be out in the public, but it's still fascinating to see what was covered in those shows.  They are E64 with Edward Arnold, E211 with Douglas Fairbanks Jr, E222 with Ralph Bellamy, E231 with Joan Bennett, E234 with Adolphe Menjou,  and E236 with Vera-Ellen.

NEW SECRETS - As always, we are constantly scanning newspaper articles and other resources to fill in gaps for episodes we still haven't been able to access.  It would be tedious to go through and tell you everything that's been tweaked in these pages, but we will draw your attention to two of them.  There's a nifty picture of Andy Griffith and a pig on E237, along with explanations as to why both are there.  Also, on E189 we've identified two more athletes who were featured on a special episode.

AND MORE! - We have a new listing in the STAFF page for Deanne Barkley and a new listing in the SUBJECTS page for Dentists and Dentistry.  Because we care.  Also, new pictures are always fun, and we have some at E88, E137, E183, E191 and E363.  Enjoy!
