I'm not sure enough to correct this myself, but isn't it "crueler" rather than "crueller"? -- JohnOwens 06:34 Mar 24, 2003 (UTC)

British English is 'crueller', whilst american English is 'crueler'. I guess the author was a Brit. Mintguy 12:39, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Does anyone have a good list of the various series and seasons of this show? IMDB, for example, has the first season of the TV show in 1948, which this article says 1950s. There's also a second show in 1960 and another in the 1990s. IMDB doesn't even list the current show on PAX, so some of the other dates could be wrong. This show has a long legacy, I want to try and do it justice. JRP 15:20, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Verstehen Sie Spass

Should the Verstehen Sie Spass page on de.wikipedia point to this page as the English version of the article? And vice versa..and in other languages. These are not the same shows, are they? davewho2 23:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Candid2.jpg

Image:Candid2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Candid = Free from reservation, disguise, or subterfuge

Does anyone know why the camera is said to be "candid" when it is actually hidden?

(Brandon Arnold (talk) 22:59, 2 July 2008 (UTC))

Because it captured the candid expressions and reactions of the people being viewed. Respectfully, SamBlob (talk) 19:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Current producers?

How can Peter Funt and Dina be the "current" producers if the show's production has ceased? PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 15:09, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

HBO in 60s and 70s???

"In the 1960s and 1970s, Candid Camera produced over ten videotapes of adult-oriented (containing nudity) stunts and hidden camera gags called Candid Candid Camera for HBO and Playboy." HBO? Really? I thought they didn't until the cable TV era. Amiwrong or is the article? Huw Powell (talk) 02:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

You are so right. Good catch. I have amended it. --Musdan77 (talk) 04:35, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
