The Name's The Same Episode Guide   From July through December 2008, GSN aired virtually all of the existing epiosdes of the fifties panel show The Name's The Same as part of their Black & White Overnight programming hour. What follows is an as-complete-as-possible episode guide for that series, featuring the original fifties air dates and, for reference, the GSN air dates more than half a century later.  The information comes mostly from the aired episodes, of course, but also from vintage TV Guides and newspaper listings.
