Hollywood Squares - December 25, 1986

I was 4 years old in East Keansburg, New Jersey airing on WABC Ch 7 at 7:30 after Jeopardy

Very interesting that for the second game, they just let Melvina have the 5th square for the win right there. I've seen a handful of Davidson episodes where someone did back into a 5-Square Win like that, but the surprising thing off this one is that they let it happen while also, technically, having it satisfy a tic-tac-toe for her right across the center. (Normally, *that* winning square still has to be earned - Match Game/Hollywood Squares notwithstanding - so evidently, the 5-Square Win scenario [combined with that being the only square left anyway] superseded that, in this instance.)

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think John goofed.

This must be an early Squares with John Davidson around 86-87.

"Eyewitness News update with Angela Astore" and a Merry Christmas says this is an original broadcast off KSTP.

I wonder why they called Roseanne Roseanna?
