Mark Goodson
The king of the game shows, Mark Goodson midwifed some of TV's most popular and enduring if frivolous institutions, including "The Price Is Right," "Family Feud," "Password," "To Tell the Truth," "The Match Game," "What's My Line," "I've Got a Secret," and "Beat the Clock." Many of these series began in primetime and achieved immortality through syndication. Most of this vast entertainment empire was created under the auspices of Goodson-Todman Productions (formed in 1946 when Goodson joined forces with Bill Todman). Amid the merriment, the duo also ventured into the more treacherous realm of TV drama with the likes of "The Rebel" (1959-62), "Jefferson Drum" (1958-59), "Branded" (1965-66) and "Richard Boone Repertory Theater" (1963-64).
