The Magnificent Marble Machine

Although "Magnificent Marble Machine" was short-lived, and received it's share of criticism, host Art James kept the show moving in the same low-key and friendly style he had used on his prior game shows like "Say When!" and "The Who, What, Or Where Game". Art James was probably the most under-rated game show host in television history and many fans of the genre believe his talents as a host should receive greater recognition.
