TIMES CHANGE; DO PEOPLE?
    I just want to say I enjoy the show immensely. Although I was quite young the first time it came out and mostly remember reruns, it is particularly interesting to see the same stunt pulled years ago and then again today to compare the reactions of people and the times. In some ways times have changed a lot and in other ways they haven't. The people doing the dance lesson tonight (Feb. 12) did a wonderful job. You've got to give them a lot of credit for trying. Keep up the great work. It is good seeing Suzanne Somers on something that she excels and gives her an opportunity to bring out her beautiful intelligent personality and Peter you are doing a wonderful job!
—Debbie Skaw

EASY TO RELATE
    Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching Candid Camera. I enjoyed the show where the supermarket customers couldn't get the vegetable bags open and the fruit would fall out. It makes things much funnier when you can relate to them. Keep the great work.
—Cheryl Stack, California

HIS FAVORITE
    I love watching your show, it's the best show on TV now. There is not a segment that I didn't like. The best one was when you had people trying all those dried-up highlighters to see if they work, and then you sent them in a room with a TV in it to see if they notice that they'd been taped. I remember one man reading a newspaper didn't notice that he was on TV. Did he ever find out?
—Alton Malone, Columbus, Georgia

[Peter's reply: Well, of course he found out! No one appears on Candid Camera without giving us written permission to use the footage on the air. The guy reading the newspaper sure was surprised when we finally told him.]

WAS IT YOU?
    I was wondering if you ever had a segment about a faucet that would not work in the Philadelphia airport. My son was traveling and swears it was a Candid Camera gag. We aren't sure if he is pulling our legs! In any case, thank you for bringing smiles across the miles and the hearts of real America to all of us.
—Ginnie Hughes, Corning, New York

[Peter's reply: As a matter of fact, we did a joke with restroom faucets that will be on soon—but it was in Mississippi, not Pennsylvania. I'd check your son's story again.]

RX: LAUGHTER
    Thanks for all the laughs. I always loved your show and I do believe laughter is the best medicine. Inch by inch life is a cinch.
—Cindy Marek Prescott, Wisconsin

A RIOT
    The only thing we don't like about the show is that it is not long enough. We could watch it five days a week. The gags that Peter Funt does are the best. He is absolutely a riot. Our favorite gag was when Peter played the airplane pilot with the crutches. How do you guys keep a straight face when you do these things?
—The Anzalones, Massachusetts

LAUGH 'TILL IT HURTS
    I just wanted to tell you that I laugh more during your show than any other time of the week. I smiled so much tonight I thought I would sprain a muscle in my face! Thanks for the hilarious family entertainment.
—James Watson, 17, Ohio

FAMILY SHOW
    My family and I have grown accustom to watching your show every Saturday night. I have three boys ages 16,12,8. Each loves to watch or record your show when it comes on. We were watching the Valentine Love and Laughs show Feb. 12 and enjoyed it until the Kissing/Viagra skit came up. My 8-year-old asked me if "what" was working? Because all the other sitcoms exploit sex to sell their show we have chosen not to watch this type of entertainment. I would only ask that you not change from the "family" values that we are losing in today's society. We love your show and hope to continue watching long into the next millennium.
—The Hull Family, Abilene, Texas

[Peter's reply: We try very hard to make Candid Camera suitable for families. I have kids 8 and 10, and we all watch together. Some jokes are slightly more adult, but never in a way that parents like us would have a difficult time explaining.]
