The Hollywood Squares Syndication 1972 #1

[@Fast_Eddy_Magic]

Loved Paul Lynde, Wally Cox, and Charlie Weaver. God, I miss the old days of my youth.

[@David-yw2lv]

During spring break 1972 I went to my great aunt's house in Warren,TX,about 45 miles north of my hometown Beaumont.We turned on the TV and picked up a station in Green Bay,Wi.They were showing The Hollywood Squares.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

When I was a senior in high school in the spring of 2002, this is the very first 70s Hollywood Squares episode I watched on Game Show Network after my track & field meet

[@MartinMcCauslin]

It's so fun to find childhood memories on youtube - whenever it happens to me I save it...

[@matthewbaduria]

Classic game show that has stands the test of time,this one is no exception.

[@stripervince1]

What a great show. Watched it every day. Paul lynde was the main reason why, he was a riot. Back when tv was great

[@williamanthony9090]

In real life he was anything but a riot. On this show, he was simply delivering the lines that had been written for him in advance. In real life he was a nasty old queen.

[@georgemaster689]

Richard Dawson does an impersonation of Paul on Match Game well.Pat Harrington does a pretty good impression of him as well on Match Game 73.

[@91dodgespiritrt]

Paul Lynde starred FLAMBOYANTLY on the "Hollyweird Queers". HA, HA

[@davetarpley3740]

When he was drunk he was nasty. You're making him out to be worse than he was. Also, I don't believe most of the quips were​ written by others. They often were formulated by the stars in advance, however. @williamanthony9090

[@teetoo3790]

Paul Lynde cracks me up. Best zingers.

[@firstlast5499]

Would you believe most of them were scripted? He could deliver a line like very few others. One of his best was when asked, “Why do motorcyclists wear leather?” “Because chiffon wrinkles.”

[@csea__go]

I love how in this episode that the writers of the show included a question including one of Peter’s sons. I mean that is awesome!

[@richardpulvermacher869]

Thank you, Adam, for adding these classic episodes!

[@kentetalman9008]

I love it when Peter Marshall says "either across, [mumble, mumble] or diagonally".

[@Unknown17]

He says, "Either across, up-and-down, or diagonally."

[@marioescalante4401]

Harvey Korman imitating Paul Lynde's "it's either Arlene FRA-HAN-CIS..." joke is hilarious!

I thought it odd that the camera didn't show Lynde after Korman's impression.

To me, announcer Kenny Williams was one of the best announcers. He has often overlooked and underrated, but I loved his voice when he asked for shows like Hollywood squares, gambit, or highrollers. Rest in peace Kenny.

[@LondonWeekendTV]

Watching any of these old episodes of Hollywood Squares its interesting to note that most of the prize sponsor companies are completely out of business today. PanAm, TWA, Kimball, Pontiac, S&H, Western Auto, Tappan and I was going to write World Book Encyclopedia but having checked its still in business (in its 100th year) selling encyclopedia sets and other educational books.

[@artistamisto]

And those crappy Datsun B2-10s. The car prizes were awful with Chevy Chevettes and Datsun hatchbacks.

[@LondonWeekendTV]

IN the early 70's a Chevy Vega was given away in every show, possibly the worlds cheapest car, a piece of junk.

Hello - I know this was posted a while ago, so you might not see this. My dad was on the Hollywood Squares in either 1971 or 1972. He passed this last November and my brother and I have been searching for his episode. He won the Secret Square who was Vicki Lawrence. I have combed through everything on KZbin, but cannot seem to find his episode. Do you know where I might be able to find it? We miss my dad terribly and this would mean the world to us. Thank you!

[@drystaklumpp3925]

She had her moments didn't she? An understated cutie pie, nice body, great smile, good wit, she deserved a lot better than the second rate career or third rate career that she was assigned to, she was just a little too offbeat looking I think and I will add a little too smart to suit the elitists I don't know maybe I'm getting too deep here but I agree she was beautiful. Or is beautiful, is she still living? What a horrible question to ask, I heard somebody say once it's so and so still alive and they said yeah but their career died a long time ago. she was kind of stereotyped as they as the butter brand idiot you know with a heart of gold and there wasn't that big of a call for that I think Meg Ryan cornered the market on that and you know where she today in the in a Redbox in some side dark corner of purgatory that nobody ever rents the crystal will be doing a guest appearances at car sales in about 5 years. With about 3 people waiting in line to get their autographs and they'll be Phil Collins in the car outside waiting to take them home Bruce Willis will be at home with food cooking on the stove for all of them.
