[@ChuckD79]

Thanks for sharing...so nice to finally see a Vegas episode w/the full opening sequence intact!

[@525Lines]

Peter Marshall was on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast a few years ago and he sounded as sharp as a tack!

The three-day event that began on July 1, 1863 is The Battle of Gettysburg.

[@ChadQuick270W]

Good stuff here. I liked the classic Hollywood Squares best. Many of the regulars were no longer on the show but this is still a great show. Also nice to see the commercials left in. 👍

About a year and a half later, Pete would sing "You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile" in the first box office version of Annie.

[@videox222ify]

As of Sept. 28, 2019 these are all of the living stars from this show: Peter Marshall (93), Jim Stafford (75), Linda Evans (76), Bill Saluga (82), Lee Meriwether (84), and Ann Jillian (69).

Now I kinda know where Davidson’s version of Hollywood Squares for their set inspiration from. Up until the Vegas Season of Marshall Squares, the viewers never, EVER saw the audience.

[@jamesfabiano4577]

Never mind that. The MG/HS set, especially the backdrops.

[@JasonRourhier]

I would love to see the very last original Hollywood Squares from Las Vegas before it was cancelled for good!! I read in the encyclopedia of Tv Game Shows that on the last Vegas Squares show George Gobel sat in the center square!! On the very last NBC show on June 20 1980 Wayland & Madame sat in that center square.

[@tubeviewer8126]

Awesome upload!

[@pattibrooks1907]

Paul Lynde was my favorite on the show !

[@morgan8757]

thank you this helps me out very much

[@fstrgray82]

The screencap for this episode has a funky design with some of the celebrity squares out of place, upside-down, etc. Was that from this episode or did Fuzzy make custom-design that?

[@fuzzymemories]

fstrgray82 - Yeah that was me having fun.

[@fstrgray82]

@@fuzzymemories Nice work! Looked like something the station would've done for a bumper.

Both buildings of the Riviera hotel were imploded in 2016.

[@VahanNisanian]

Wow. More Vegas Squares. Terrific.

[@williamcrowe2576]

For one of the three actresses who played Catwoman in the 1960s, Lee Meriwether looked like she's hardly aged a day.

[@johanbrand8601]

What was the last episode Paul Lynde was in?

[@briansetpente1019]

Watching the Hollywood squares for 16 seasons I believe Paul Lynde last episode was 1981

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

Too bad I never learned how to work a top loading vtr,because these shows would be in my video library.

[@meyerj75]

This ended too soon. I'm curious to find out if participating contestants received Polyglycoat or not.

[@JasonA.Routhier-vw1wd]

Too bad I don.t have a great big house because if I did I would love to have the original Hollywood Squares sets from the NBC & VEGAS SYNDICATED versions.

Groovy Vegas music

10:45PM Sundays. Ouch.

[@Maggie22002]

Back in the day when kids wore, you know, clothes.

[@louistenore2185]

Though 98-2004 revial was good you just can;t replace Peter Marshall Paul Lynde and annnouncer Kenny Williams ,oh one question what is Bill Saluga famous for?

[@someguy23475]

Raymond J. Johnson character

[@louistenore2185]

you mean with that you can call be ray stuff

[@Camop-iz9kt]

It must have been quite a chore to move the set from NBC Burbank to Las Vegas.

[@DomFalance]

New set actually. NBC unions wouldn't let them take the original set.

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

​@@DomFalanceWouldn't it have been cool to take a piece of the set home?

[@Musicradio77Network]

This was one of the rare episodes that it was never shown on GSN back in the early to mid 2000's.

[@meyerj75]

GSN aired at least 130 hand picked episodes from the 1968 NBC nighttime and the first 6 seasons (1971-77) of the syndicated version. They never played Vegas.

[@FlamingoKicker]

I know in regular tic-tac-toe you always have to start with the center square to win so why wouldn't EVERYONE always start with Paul Lynde?

[@TLEberle]

Because a wrong answer gives the square over to the opponent.

[@Jack21Spades]

@@TLEberle That's true, but here's something else to consider: How often was the Center Square the SECRET Square..?

[@TLEberle]

No idea--I recall a single time when it was Whoopi Goldberg, but I'm not sure what it has to do with why to not dive right in at the center.

[@Quartzquiz333]

@@TLEberle Actually Paul had been the Secret Square a few times. I frequently saw Whoopi as the Secret Square in her version.

[@ajk]

@@Quartzquiz333 There's an episode on here from around 78 or so where he was, so can attest to that.

[@NEPatriot]

By then, Squares altered gameplay with contestants playing for a prize in each game; no money and most frustrating, the Secret Square was eliminated. Whoever won that day by winning the most games when time was called would win a bigger package of prizes. All of this led up to a tournament where the winner won $100,000 in cash and prizes; including $20,000 cash.

[@electrohedgehog1838]

@@zachhoran Here's a better idea: 64 x Preliminary 32 x Round 1 16 x Round 2 8 x Round 3 4 x Quarterfinals (But only the top 3 make it to the Semifinals) 2 x Revival (Between the 4th - 7th places of the Quarterfinals, 8th would be out automatically) 2 x Semifinals 1 x Final Fight for 3rd 1 x Final Fight for 1st Equal to 130 games. I believe your estimate is equal to only 126

[@JasonA.Routhier-vw1wd]

Like Peter wrote in his book BACKSTAGE WITH THE ORIGINAL HOLLYWOOD SQUARE-By the time Squares got to Vegas the show was tired.However I think what would have been better-do like they did on the NBC daytime version-if the contestant won 5 games in a row then they won $100,000 cash and prizes including $20,000 cash & 2 NEW CARS!!(NIGHTTIME) DAYTIME IT WAS $25,000 IN CASH & PRIZES $10,000 CASH & A NEW CAR OR SOMETIMES 2 CARS!!

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

@@JasonA.Routhier-vw1wd I don't think the show had an unlimited budget at that (or any) point.
