I remember the earlier two incarnations of Candid Camera as well as the short-lived five-day-a-week that was hosted by Dom DeLuise and with Peter Funt picking up where his father/creator Allen left off, it's still a very funny show. Candid Camera still caught ordinary people "in the act of being themselves" in strange situations.
It was also great to see vintage candid clips with Allen Funt, especially the one with the talking mailbox. To me, his best work was when he interviewed kids and that was also part of the show's success. Let's not forget the addition of Peter Funt's co-host, Suzanne Somers, who added a lot to the proceedings.
Hopefully some day, the show will be back on any network, where once again hear someone say "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!"
