Doors & Other Contestant Stands[]
1956-1968[]
Door from the Nothing but the Truth Pilot. Depicted is a Roman man with a lantern, as opposed to the caricatured men.
Door from 1956. The show's mascot, a caricatured man with either his fingers crossed or not.
Full view of the door and its frame.
Here is the backdrop for behind the door.
The door made an appearance, albeit in small form on, I've Got a Secret.
Here it is again in color.
Here is that same door again, shown a little farther away.
Door from 1968. Notice the light border and some lines on the set (possibly leftovers from the set of Password).
Here it is again from another angle.
1969-1978[]
Door from the 1969-1978 version during the use of the "psychedelic" set. Similar to the door from the 1956 version but with 1960s-style graphics added. It slides up in the same way as the former.
Here is the same door again, shown from a different angle.
Here it is again shown closer up. The frame sure looks different close up.
A wide shot view of the door.
Door from the 1969-1978 version during the use of the "psychedelic" set: Toned down version. Two more men were added to the door & it slide splits rather than sliding up. Notice a curve on the man in the center. Similar to the big doors on The Price is Right. The men also grew feet. Plus, host Garry Moore would enter through it instead of entering from the back.
Another view of the door, only the view is off center a bit.
Here it is again shown closer up, notice the curved marks on the border of the door. Again, the frame looks different when shown closer up.
Another close up.
Door from the 1969-1978 version during the use of the "Blocky Blue" set. The men are now props as opposed to being painted on. Door still slide spilts and resembles a curtain, notice there are curtains on the left and right sides.
Another view from a far angle.
Here it is again from a close up view. Notice there is a strip at the bottom. Also the men's fingers are their ring fingers and pinkies down with their index and middle fingers crossed similar to the 1971 door.
1980-1981[]
Doors from the short-lived 1980s version, lacking the caricatured men.
Another shot of the door.
1990-1991[]
The 1990 pilot had different caricatured men on an upper door...
...and a lower door.
Door from the 1990-1991 version. This also doubles as a backdrop for the 3 players in each game (except One on One, though certain games have the door down for special purposes). The door slides up like the 1956 version. Compared to the other doors, the men are light props.
Another view with the frame of the door.
The Panelist Door, which is open. Though not pictured, the actual door has the To Tell The Truth logo, and it slides up just like the main door. Plus the logo also appears in lights.
2000-2002[]
No use of any doors on the 2000 set due to 3 sections where the contestants stand.
2016-2022[]
ABC's version has what appears to be a shadow door.
But it is just not the same without the caricatured men. :(
Season 3 updated shadow door with a different color scheme.
But again, it is just not the same without the caricatured men. :(
