Since the tapes of The Hollywood Squares from the 60s(at least the daytime era)are gone,these need to be preserved for posterity. These 1968 shows do nicely as what the show looked like.
I was wondering when that happened. My earliest memories of Hollywood Squares are from after we moved to a bigger house in August 1968. I only remember Paul Lynde in the center square, not Buddy Hackett. Charlie Weaver, Wally Cox, and Rose Marie were entrenched as regulars. Jan Murray was often on, and always on the right side from the viewer’s perspective-sometimes on top and sometimes on bottom. It’s also the only place I saw Gypsy Rose Lee, before she passed away in 1970.
Since you left in the commercials from your taped episodes, I think it would have been wicked cool to have been able to preserve the commercials from 1968. No matter though it's awesome to see all these immortal entertainers 😊❤
Unless there were chronicling of shows that were totally lost, two people associated with the wild and crazy '70's "Match Game" never appeared on the Marshall "Squares": Richard Dawson and Brett Somers. If Mr. Dawson did appear, it would have likely been in the late '60's period when he was on "Hogan's Heroes." But the other regulars: Host Gene Rayburn was a frequent "square" in the 1968-69 period (plus three more between 1972 and 1980); Charles Nelson Reilly was a "square" in ten documented shows between 1970 and 1973 (at least one on the same show as "center square" Paul Lynde); and Fannie Flagg did a week of "Squares" shows in 1974.
I've been watching a lot of these old episodes lately and I'm surprised at how many answers are total bullshit. Lennon and McCartney were not a lyricist, music pair. The both wrote lyrics and music and many songs were actually written solo, but they had an agreement that credit would always be Lennon/McCartney. There was another episode were they said Mexico was a larger country than the US.
The drastic change in clothing style is interesting. So conservative in the 60s with all the men wearing suits and just a riot of color and patterns in the 70s.
Jesus!!!...." with the Beatles.. When they are writing their music, who writes the actual music" John Lennon or Paul McCartney? "McCartney" " correct, Circle gets.the square" Say.....what? "
That broad slagging the Beatles……🙄 AND the answer was 100% wrong. Still ignorant about Lennon & McCartney in 1968? Only the most successful songwriters of all time.
You know, I don't mind seeing modern TV closing logos at the end of your uploads, like Fremantle and Sony Pictures and WBTV from 2022. However, I am sure growing tired of hearing the 1950s MGM logo roar from your 2021 MGM Television logo. I personally like the ones from 1995 and 2008.
Well...this is about the 60's....you can find you "modern" stuff anytime and anywhere. I think you're only here because of "Uncle Milty", Milton Borough's legendary member. It's ok. So is everyone else...who's gay. And Don Adams.....maybe
@Dr.ScatKohlenblo-nj2cv Well, the same MGM logo you made is also showing up on MGM and Orion game shows from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, like ASB, New Hollywood Squares, High Rollers and Gambit. You also made a different MGM/UA Television logo, with the sped-up 1982 UA fanfare, 2012 MGM logo and 1995 MGM roar, found at the end of a 1988 episode of Body By Jake, on one of your program blocks you posted.
Rest in Peace Peter Marshall! "The Master of the Hollywood Squares"
Class act all the way.

Paul Lynde became a regular center square in fall 1968. This is from April 1968.
Interesting,thanks

In memory of Game Show Host of the original 1966-1981 Hollywood Squares and Host of Yahtzee, Peter Marshall. 1926-2024.

Great video adam
A rare episode without Paul Lynde.
Rest in Peace Peter Marshall
Don Adams and Wally Cox are voice actors from Tennessee Tuxedo and Underdog.

What was with the dead silence after the beginning?
I think it's because they were plugging cigarettes or cigars.
Where's Paul?

Mr. X was annoying. Why couldn't he just agree or disagree instead of "you're wrong!" or "I think that's correct!"
Well, that's how it started before it went to "Agree or disagree." The pilot with Bert Parks proves it.
Never a big fan of buddy Hackett
Me neither. I found him annoying not just because he was loud, but he hogged the camera too much.
Supposedly, he was disgustingly filthy when he did stand-up.
