Hollywood Squares (December 21, 1998) - First taped episode!

[@VideOH]

This version of Hollywood Squares worked so well. Such a great afternoon show.

[@rhyancoleman6462]

Happy 25th Anniversary to Hollywood Squares!

[@treseancann1261]

The things I'd do to have this on television again.

[@calebwashingtonproductions]

Differences: -Different sound effect for adding the score -The gameboard didn't change color to red in the bonus round -Pick a Star, Win a Prize -Envelopes were noticeable smaller and had the logo on the prize cards -Celebrity nameplates were bigger -The 'X' and 'O's on the contestant podiums are pink instead of blue

[@garrygriffy1866]

and games are worth $500

[@technospyform1578]

If contestant didn't have any money, no consolation $250($500)

[@KiddBloo86]

The yellow border around the game board x and o's are wood borders too

[@megamanj2004X]

Also the upper part of the backdrop behind Tom was in a different shade of brown as well. Here it’s in a normal shade of brown but in almost all but the season finale taped episodes, the upper portion of the backdrop behind Tom was in a darker shade of wooden brown.

The original SFX for tallied dollar totals was also used for passing spins on GSN's "Whammy!: The All New Press Your luck".

[@technospyform1578]

That's weird. There's an episode with Joe vs Cheryl and I thought that's the actual pilot seeing as they had a little bumper - while this, despite being the first taped episode, was aired a different day.

[@garrygriffy1866]

yeah i thought joe vs cheryl was the actual pilot cause i think that episode aired on december 21st.

Wow that’s weird they had to ask what a tsunami was.

Tiger games. this was 1998 indeed.

[@jacobrichardson1952]

I thought it aired on September 1998 but why December 1998?

[@garrygriffy1866]

they aired the episodes way out of order during the 1998-1999 season due to the fact that there were no returning champions. Also of note is that this was the first taped episode for this week but the second one aired

[@jacobrichardson1952]

@@garrygriffy1866 huh.. That's weird.

[@garryjohnson9918]

You’re right though, this version of Hollywood Squares DID start in September 1998

[@garrygriffy1866]

@@jacobrichardson1952 yeah its odd. every week of shows was aired out of order and the episodes within the week were also shown out of order. GSN and gametv aired the shows in taping order

[@jordanmonson7092]

This is the pilot episode?

[@mysticgirl916]

Pretty much. They called the first 10 taped episodes the "lost episodes" and aired them through Christmas 1998 and New Year's 1999

So this is the pilot?

Yes

[@VahanNisanian]

@@rhyancoleman6462 These were episodes #1001-#1005. They also aired on GSN March 30-April 3, 2009.

[@KiddBloo86]

I thought so! I like the orange/ peach x's and o's in the contestant desks better

[@supersaver87]

No, this is not the pilot, just the first taped episode.

[@VahanNisanian]

​@@supersaver87 Techno Spyform1 says he thought Joe Vs. Cheryl was the first one taped, and he's right. This one is actually #1002. There exists an episode guide on U.S. Game Shows Wiki.

[@RRM-fh1vk]

Who the hell is Jeff Cesario?

[@morganlaughlin6571]

My critique on the end game in this episode: I don’t find it fair to win a prize just by picking a square. There’s a reason as to why for later-taped episodes they changed the endgame to have them go through a question.

[@ajk]

I'd not say its' unfair, Marshall's Squares did it routinely. But I imagine doing this hurt the budget having to give something away every single day, hence why they added the question element to it later.

[@SRX2004]

The question about how Pearl Jam got its name isn't correct. If you're curious look it up.

[@jordan.m2485]

Tom Bergeron.
