History YMMV / Tattletales

* GrowingTheBeard: While the "all-Quickies" format is generally considered superior to the original format, there are those who enjoyed hearing the 'tattletale' stories one partner would tell about the other (especially Dick Gautier/Barbara Stuart, whose stories often involved good friend Bert Convy) in the original format.

* WhatAnIdiot: One question asked if the husbands thought their wives would rather have dinner with Ted Kennedy, Frank Sinatra or Aristotle Onassis. Gary Collins opted for Kennedy because he thought his wife Mary Ann Mobley would share his ''Republican'' values.[[note]]The Kennedys were Democrats.[[/note]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: Convy occasionally got the chance to play the game while [[Series/MatchGame Gene Rayburn]], [[Series/ThePriceIsRight Bob Barker]], [[Series/{{Showoffs}} Bobby Van]], or [[Series/NowYouSeeIt Jack]] [[Series/{{Concentration}} Narz]] would take over hosting duties.

* FunnyMoments: Quite a bit.
** July 1974 (Gene Rayburn as guest host): The question (a la ''Match Game'') to the ladies was "If I want something from my husband, to make sure I get 'yes' for an answer, I approach him after he's had ______." Harvey Korman predicted his wife Donna would say "a drink". Let's bring Donna on the monitor:
-->'''Donna''': It's a toss-up. It's either pizza or sex... (''audience roars with laughter; Harvey is beside himself'')
-->'''Harvey''': With or without sausage? (''even louder laughter from the audience'')
** July 5, 1974: The question to the ladies was "You're the editor of Playgirl magazine for a day. Who's going to be next month's centerfold?" Dick Gautier was stumped as his wife, Barbara Stuart, was never really turned on by anyone — he figured Barbara would come up with someone goofy, so he said [[UsefulNotes/RichardNixon President Nixon]]. The audience rose in derisive laughter at such a thought (Convy: "What I want to see is her face when she finds out what you said.") and then Barbara was brought onscreen. Her last-gasp response? "[[StrangeMindsThinkAlike How about President Nixon?]]" Everybody in Studio 41 — especially Barbara — was stunned as the audience absolutely brought the house down laughing and cheering.
** October 1975: The question to the men was "Which do you remember most — your first sexual encounter with your wife, or the latest?" Tom Bosley's wife, Jane Eliot at the time, said the first because "we broke the bed!" The audience was hysterical. Tom, brought on camera on his monitor, was more genteel and diplomatic:
-->'''Tom Bosley''': I've been in show business for over forty years, and when you're in a hit show you remember your opening line!
** Starting in 1976, a lady sitting in the banana section would hand the microphone off to Bert, and she'd get a kiss from him. This led to a few funny moments, such as...
*** Bert getting a longer kiss than normal, resulting in him mock-fainting and temporarily forgetting what the name of the show was.
*** Near the end of the series' run, The lady actually [[VictoriasSecretCompartment stuffed the microphone into her shirt]]. (No, he didn't actually go into her shirt to retrieve it, you perverts!)
*** On one occasion, during Emcee Week, [[Series/FamilyFeud Richard Dawson]] was the guest host, and found a man sitting in the lucky seat. [[HoYay Yes, Richard did kiss him]], much to confusion of the Feud's emcee.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Convy occasionally got the chance to play the game while [[Series/MatchGame Gene Rayburn]], [[Series/ThePriceIsRight Bob Barker]], [[Series/{{Showoffs}} Bobby Van]], or [[Series/NowYouSeeIt Jack Narz]] would take over hosting duties.

* GrowingTheBeard: While the "all-Quickies" format is generally considered superior to the original format, YourMileageMayVary. Some fans prefer the original format with the peeks into the private lives of celebs like BettyWhite, Dick Gautier, and Orson Bean as those questions were really the only ones that made one spouse "tattle" on the other, justifying the title far more than the "all-Quickies" format.
