Season 16

From the desk

How this season is filed

Filed by Rex Fontaine · Golden Age Dispatch

I've Got a Secret turned ordinary confessions into prime-time theater: celebrity secret-holders, a guessing panel, and Garry Moore's sweater-set warmth. Goodson-Todman charm with a wink. Watch it in 2026 as the ancestor of every talk-show I-never-told-anyone segment, when secrets still felt like parlor games instead of leaks.

TV Flash files Season 16 of I've Got a Secret (1952–1967) on CBS as the last listed season of 16 — 11 listed hours, 1967-01-02–1967-04-03 from “Phyllis Diller” (S16E01) to “Lynn Redgrave” (S16E11). Broadcast log — titles and dates, not a plot bible.
