''Name That Tune'' is an American television game show that put two contestants against each other to test their knowledge of songs. Premiering in the United States on NBC Radio in 1952, the show was created and produced by Harry Salter and his wife Roberta. ''Name That Tune'' ran from 1953–59 on NBC and CBS in prime time. The first hosts were Red Benson and later Bill Cullen, but George DeWitt became most identified with the show. The series finished at #30 in the Nielsen ratings for the 1956-1957 season.〔http://www.classictvhits.com/tvratings/1956.htm〕 Richard Hayes also emceed a local edition from 1970–71, which ran for 26 weeks in a small number of markets. However, the best-remembered syndicated ''Name That Tune'' aired once a week (expanded to twice a week for its final season) from 1974–81 with host Tom Kennedy. John Harlan was the show's announcer. This series was a Ralph Edwards production in association with Sandy Frank Productions, who distributed the series. The centerpiece of each ''Name That Tune'' series was an orchestra, which would play the songs for the contestants to guess. Bob Alberti was the conductor of the orchestra for the first season, with Tommy Oliver replacing him in 1975 and Stan Worth replacing Oliver in 1978. The Name That Tune Orchestra also featured a vocalist, which was originally Kathie Lee Johnson and later Monica Francine Burruss (later Pege). In the 1978-79 season, two changes were made. The series brought in choreographers Dennon Rawles and Jerri Fiala, the latter of whom was already working for show producer Ralph Edwards as hostess on ''The Cross-Wits'', to serve as background dancers. In addition, the Name That Tune Orchestra was joined by a rock music ensemble known as Dan Sawyer and the Sound System, with featured vocalist Steve March. The dancers were done away with at the end of the season but March and the Sawyer band remained until the show's end in 1981. Beginning in 1976 and continuing for the remainder of the weekly syndicated series the show's title became ''The $100,000 Name That Tune''. This was done to reflect the addition of a bonus prize that could be won by players if they managed to correctly identify a specific song. Later, the show conceived a tournament for the same prize. ''Name That Tune'' returned to syndication as a daily series in 1984 with '70s series syndicator Sandy Frank taking over production from Ralph Edwards. and ran for one season. Jim Lange became the host with John Harlan returning as announcer. Frank called upon Tommy Oliver, with whom he had worked on the 1980 series ''Face the Music'' and the Tommy Oliver Orchestra to provide music. Like its syndicated predecessor, the 1984 series was known as ''The $100,000 Name That Tune'' and conducted a series of monthly tournaments to award the prize. Two daytime ''Name That Tune'' series were broadcast by NBC in the 1970s. The first ran from July 29, 1974 to January 3, 1975 with Dennis James hosting; while the second was broadcast from January 3 to June 10, 1977 and was hosted by Tom Kennedy. Both series were lower-paying editions of the concurrent syndicated series and were both produced by Ralph Edwards. ==Gameplay== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Name That Tune」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
