The logos being Fantasy, Hold Everything!, I've Got A Secret, What's My Line?, To Tell The Truth, Beat The Clock and Personality leading to speculation that these seven shows did have episodes and never surfaced. However only 20 episodes are accountable and have information about the episodes with the seven shows have zero to no accountable information.
