"Shenanigans" was indeed on Saturday mornings on ABC. I too had the old board game. I remember one part with a race, and I`m sure there was a skee-ball in the board game. Stubby Kaye was the M.C. as mentioned. He appeared in many T.V. series and movies. I don`t know if he ever had his own show. The role I remember him for is that of Nicely-nicely Johnson in the film version of "Guys and Dolls" Since were on the subject, anyone remember the NBC Sat game show hosted by Paul Whinchell and Jerry Mahoney? I remember the kids got questions and had 3 choices for answers, and they had to run to the colored circle with the answer they thought was correct. I`m stumped on the name, though. Tom O`Connor

I remember Stubby Kaye from two movies: _Guys and Dolls_ and _Cat Ballou_. He sang in each, and in the latter was one of the strolling 'narrator' minstrels with Nat King Cole. I get the feeling he did a lot of Broadway musicals. -- Patricia Boren decvax!randvax!boren boren@rand-unix.arpa
