- The Peabody Award-winning "What in the World" is an archaeology quiz game. During each episode, panelists are presented with items from various museums. On the basis of their experience, knowledge, and deductive ability, the panelists determine where the objects were made, when, by whom, and what they were used for. After identification, the group discusses the object with the help of pictures, films, and maps. Permanent panelist is Dr. Carleton Coon, a foremost physical anthropologist, an authority on Middle East culture, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Each episode has two additional guest panelists. The host for the entire series is Dr. Froelich Rainey, director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum and a distinguished archaeologist. What in the World is a production of WCAU-TV, Philadelphia. The 26 half-hour episodes that comprise the series were originally recorded on videotape.
