FEEDBACK ARCHIVE         About our September 24 program, television critic David Bianculli wrote in the New York Daily News:     "Here's one worth taping. This season premiere devotes its last lengthy segment to the memory of the entire franchise: Allen Funt, whose life and death this month at age 84 is remembered by his son Peter, who took over hosting chores years ago. Stills, a movie montage and a few well-chosen segments from the show's history (which spans half a century) are included, and presented quite touchingly."     And, as soon as the show went off the air we began receiving feedback from viewers: •   "I saw the last segment of your show Friday night. I can't believe how moving it was. Your dad had a great idea back then and it showed how he loved what he did…"—Dave Pratchenko •   "The tribute to your father on the show tonight was wonderful and beautifully done. Peter, thank you for continuing in your father's footsteps."—Lil Pfeifer, New Kensington, Pa. •   "I do not watch much television other than news but your show is truly the exception. I enjoyed the variety of clips featuring your dad and the Camp Scene [fancy amenities for campers in Massachusetts]. Thanks for making life so enjoyable."—Robert Aronheim, Oakton, Virginia •   "I saw your show tonight and cried like a baby."—Barry Broth •   "What would really be fitting would be an hour special in Allen Funt's memory. So many of us will never forget the laughter he brought us."—Ron Hade, Winfield, N.J. •   "Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Allen Funt. He had a way with people that I admired. He treated them with kindness and respect, while at the same time giving them a chance to laugh at themselves."—Rev. Cliff Munger •   "I love your show. I was wondering about the song about 'smiling' used to honor Allen Funt."—Scott Alan Blanchard [The song, "Smile," was sung by the late Nat King Cole, and was written by film great Charlie Chaplin.] •   "Tonight, I laughed and cried. It is so nice to still have shows like Candid Camera to give us some joy."—Viewer in Key West, Florida •   "I grew up watching the original Candid Camera show and Allen provided me with a lot of laughs. I was so excited a few years ago to see it make a comeback. My 19-year-old daughter even thought it was neat."—Leslie Canfield •   "Thank you, Allen, for all the laughter. It made us all happier and prolonged our lives. We love you and will miss you."—Marilyn Bozeman, Chicago Return to main feedback.   Candid Camera  •  PO Box 827  •  Monterey, CA 93942
