content: Documentation for It's a Curious Thing includes a video and audio typescript (undated), newspaper clipping (undated), and a 1954 report, authored by Jules Power, of Jules Power Productions, Inc. discussing the concept, format, and content of It's a Curious Thing. Additionally, there is a 1975 letter from Don Herbert to Jules Power with the attachment for the original It's a Curious Thing proposal written by Don Herbert and Jules Power, undated. 

The show's format featured four to five curious things, including one thing from a guest celebrity.  The host, Don Herbert opened the program with three of the objects, providing a clever clue to the panel and home audience.  If the panel was unable to answer correctly, Herbert provided an answer and demonstrated the object.
