Have you ever come across an old TV show that you probably wouldn't have remembered on your own but when presented with video or audio evidence that the show actually existed makes you say "Oh, that's right, I remember that show!?!" This is one of those TV shows.

The Magnificent Marble Machine was a short-lived game show in the mid-70's that involved a gigantic pinball machine. Art James was the host and Johnny Gilbert the announcer. Celebs would team with ordinary citizens and answer questions in the early rounds (the dull part of the game) and then go on to play the big pinball machine. Actually, that turned out to be rather dull too. I thought this would turn out to be cool but even as a kid I was bored. This show was the Supertrain of game shows.

Someone has uploaded an entire episode of the show to YouTube (thank you web!). After the jump, the episode, in five separate videos. That Opel Manta looks kinda cool.
