Hollywood squares was the best game show ever in the 70s with all the great wonderful stars and Paul Lynn

[@pacificblue3955]

I agree

[@disneyfan8178]

[@FredLord-sp4ym]

There were great game shows: "Match Game 19__" and "The Price is Right," "Let's Made a Deal," "The Gong Show," just to name a few. LOL.

[@wmbrown6]

@@FredLord-sp4ym - I've always wondered if there was "crossover" in celebrity appearances - those who did both "Match Game '7_" and the Marshall "Squares." However, as far as "The Odd Couple" (the TV series) went, there seemed a divide - Tony Randall was on occasion a "Square," while Jack Klugman occasionally did the '70's Rayburn "Match Game." (Although according to Rose Marie, Klugman did a few "Squares" as well, thus by that he would've been on both.)

[@katznkittens]

I agree with the original poster: Hollywood Squares often had bigger stars - stars you wouldn’t see on other game shows. And more of them because of the cubicles. The one thing I disliked was the combination of ads and reciting secret square contents took so much time.

[@jamesjowitt1713]

Hollywood Squares is still the best Educational Game of Knowledge with Os and X s with the Stars on the Board with Host Peter Marshall

[@gynandroidhead]

The quality of this is excellent. One of my favorite shows.

[@LaVanderWilliams]

All of the game shows were great back then. My favorite is Match Game, which I watch on Buzzr

[@Camop-iz9kt]

Debbie Reynolds and Glenn Ford on the same show. Now that's STAR power!

[@georgemaster689]

George Gobel appeared on The Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour in 1984.Buzzr just showed the week he was on.

[@wmbrown6]

Does anyone know who of the "Match Game" regulars (including host Gene Rayburn) put in time as "squares" in the 15 years (counting both NBC daytime and syndicated versions) Peter Marshall was "master" of "The Hollywood Squares"?

[@ToddDavis-p3u]

I absolutely loved this show, even as a kid, it was one of my favorite shows. Charro was always so nice and sexy.

[@ChrisVillano-sq2xy]

Peter Marshall. Just fantastic

[@MichelleUS66]

The question they gave Paul Lynde at the 10:00 point must have been pretty rough for him to answer. He *did* make one of his typical quips, but he definitely seemed more thoughtful about how to respond than he usually does.

[@pacificblue3955]

I noticed that too. As soon as Peter asked the question you could see a look of almost uneasiness on Paul’s face.

Everytime I see the late Sonny Bono(1935-1998)I see my late stepbrother Mr.Eugene Blaine Montz Jr.aka GENE OR GINO(4-25-1939-3-25-1997) Gene & Sonny could pass as twin brothers.I also remember Gene telling me about how the cafeteria at the old Bethlehem Steel Sparrows Point Plant in Md would be jam packed from most of the guys watching The Hollywood Squares daytime NBC version that Gene couldn.t even go in to get lunch!!

RIP Peter Marshall

[@bryanloveseighties]

It is interesting that in this episode, Joan Rivers is in one of the squares and in the late 80s version, she was the center square for about 85% of the time. Plus, Debbie Reynolds is in the center right square sitting to the left of Paul Lynde, and that's coincidental when it comes to voice acting. At the same time Debbie was sitting next to Paul, Charlotte the spider was sitting next to Templeton the rat.

[@hdayejr]

Are these studio masters? Nice

[@rodemarieaguirre8884]

Can you imagine , in 100 years from now, people will be seeing all these episodes in full color and if perseved properly, will not have to retouch the films...

[@JasonRourhier]

That,s some very wishful thinking.

[@DocD-d9b]

Joan Rivers trying to shake like Charo in the beginning🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@karenschneider2851]

Fun fact Peter Marshall's son played 1st base for the Kansas City Royals.

[@debrabolton9372]

Watching this episode, I sadly realized that the majority of the celebrities are no longer with us. I think Charo is still alive.

[@bryanloveseighties]

Yes, she's still alive, all right, that crazy, hyperactive, coochie-coochie gal.

[@cottagechskitty]

Yes! She's barely into her 70s

[@joelheinen7625]

The show is nearly 50 years old and they were all well into adulthood then. Humans don’t live forever…

Hot mess

[@JasonA.Routhier-vw1wd]

Loved that old Hollywood Squares theme called Merrill and Bob.s theme which I renamed Peter.s theme after Peter Marshall.(1969-1979)Also like the Stan Worth Squares disco theme 1979-81 as far as the original Squares.

[@wmbrown6]

Do you get the feeling, as I do, that in writing "Merrill and Bob's Theme," William Loose seemed to have been inspired by the horn-laden instrumental section in Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" before he started off, "I love you, baby . . . "? (And, to tie it all in, Mr. Valli was one of the "squares" in the Marshall era, in 1979.) It was certainly along those lines, for sure, though the vocalizing was a different touch.

[@JasonRourhier]

@@wmbrown6 I never thought about it like that.I just loved the theme music & even though it was called MERRILL & BOB,S THEME but I prefer to call it PETER,S THEME after the late Peter Marshall. I also call the 1979-81 theme Peter,s Theme #2!!

[@wmbrown6]

@@JasonRourhier - Bill Loose clearly titled it after the show's producers . . .

[@JasonRourhier]

@@wmbrown6 I truly understand that too. By the way I have the late Peter Marshall,s book BACKSTAGE WITH THE ORIGINAL HOLLYWOOD SQUARE & I read the book plus I have 2 game show theme CD,S. I also have some game show board games & books.

So sad to see that lady so excited thinking she won a car, not knowing the high luxury tax she would have to pay along with paying the dealership handling fees. They kept that one quiet for years.

[@mikevanriel7573]

She would have to pay like $900-1,000 dollars in taxes. Don’t sound like much today, but in 1975 dollars, it’s a lot.

Unlike the fourteen year old, I was girl crazy by the time I was seven. Girl watching was the best reason to attend school 😊. How about that, I still learn something new everyday, I always thought breast implants were an 80s thing 😮

It would have been nice if Geoff Edwards from The New Treasure Hunt had appeared on The Hollywood Squares along with Gene Rayburn Brett Somers Charles Nelson Reilly Richard Dawson Fannie Flagg along with Rose Marie George Gobel & Paul Lynde.

[@wmbrown6]

Like I asked, did any "Match Game" regulars appear as "squares" in the Marshall years?

[@JasonRourhier]

​@@wmbrown6 I think Charles Nelson Reilly & Fannie Flagg did appear on the original Hollywood Squares with Peter Marshall.I also think Gene Rayburn appeared on the show (in the mid 60,s on the daytime show) & few times I thought Brett Somers also appeared on Squares but I don,t think she died.

@@JasonRourhier - Ms. Somers was never a "square" in the Marshall years. Sad but true.

So refreshing to hear comedy which is not Politically Correct! Or Woke as the Libs say today!!

[@davetarpley3740]

For the time, both Hollywwod Squares and Match Game were pretty "woke" -- or at least worldly and tolerant. Sure Richard Dawkins typically did an effeminate voice when pretending to be gay. But he also made a pretty sharp joke against Anita Bryant. At any rate, they're great shows (as is Family Feud).

[@FredLord-sp4ym]

Peter Marshall WAS "The Hollywood Squares." Without him, the new versions were milquetoast at best.

[@wmbrown6]

It could be said that the Marshall "Squares" was like the proverbial "lightning in a bottle" that was caught once, and any subsequent replications went way off the mark. But it wasn't just Mr. Marshall. Announcer Kenny Williams was another part of the equation.
