Concentration (1958)

Overview

Concentration is an American television game show based on the children's memory game of the same name. Matching cards represented prizes that contestants could win. As matching pairs of cards were gradually removed from the board, it would slowly reveal elements of a rebus puzzle that contestants had to solve to win a match. The show was broadcast on and off from 1958 to 1991, presented by various hosts, and has been made in several different versions. The original network daytime series, Concentration, appeared on NBC for 14 years, 7 months, and 3,770 telecasts, the longest run of any game show on that network. This series was hosted by Hugh Downs and later by Bob Clayton, but for a six-month period in 1969, Ed McMahon hosted the series. The series began at 11:30 AM Eastern, then moved to 11:00 and finally to 10:30. Nearly all episodes of the NBC daytime version were produced at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York City. A weekly nighttime version appeared in two separate broadcast runs: the first aired from October 30 to November 20, 1958 with Jack Barry as host, while the second ran from April 24 to September 18, 1961 with Downs as host.

Leans Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing state power, military conscription during the Vietnam War, and the psychological abuse of dissenters, aligning with core left-wing concerns about individual freedom versus government authority.

This 1966 experimental short film features traditional casting for its era, primarily showcasing the director and a woman without intentional race or gender swaps. Its abstract, non-narrative structure does not incorporate explicit DEI themes or critique traditional identities within its visual and conceptual exploration.

Secondary

The game show 'Concentration' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its format is purely competitive, centered on memory and word puzzles, thus offering no narrative space for such portrayals. The net impact is N/A due to the complete absence of relevant content.

The game show 'Concentration' (1958) is a competition-based program focused on word puzzles and does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its format.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

As a game show, "Concentration" features real hosts and contestants rather than fictional characters with established canonical genders from source material. Therefore, the concept of a gender swap does not apply.

Concentration (1958) is a game show. Game shows do not feature fictional characters or historical figures with established canonical races from source material, which are prerequisites for a race swap.
