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?

6/10/25 - We've been updating the site on a pretty regular basis in the last few months, but we're just getting around to telling you about the changes!

NEW VIDEO! - The folks at Buzzr, who have the Fremantle archive of classic shows, have shared two "new" episodes from 1954 on their YouTube channel!  We hope this is the start of regular updates from them.  You can see the episodes  HERE and HERE, and you can read our summaries here on our site.  They are E69 with Merle Oberon and E71 with Art Carney.

NEW SUMMARIES - As he did back in December, Marshall Akers has hunkered down at the Library of Congress to watch copies of old episodes that neither Buzzr nor GSN ever aired.  It's a distant second to being able to watch them ourselves, but his detailed notes tell us exactly what happened on those shows.  They are E61 with Gloria DeHaven, E194 with Agnes Moorehead, E202 with Judy Canova, E220 with Bob Cummings, E227 with Walter Brennan, E228 with Sam Levenson, E243 with Lawrence Welk and E282 with Ray Bolger.

NEW SECRETS - Through alternate methods, usually vintage newspaper articles, we sometimes stumble across an individual secret or other details about one episode or another without actually having seen the show.  This time around, these "new" secrets can be found in E75 (the boxer), E188 (the "Old Prospector" who didn't get on), E195 (a nifty game tied to the previous episode), E174 (the famous politician who didn't get on), E225 (the USS Nautilus crew) and E264 (Garry's joke about the transit strike gets the show in a little hot water).

NEW PHOTOS - It's always a treat when we find newspaper photos that relate to specific Secret stories.  Brendan McLaughlin has been our resident expert at finding those for us.  Brendan has also tracked down a lot of articles we didn't find in our own searches.  New photos can be seen at E186, E267, E321, E362 and E391.
