[GeorgeJ775]

[zabadazidit]

Charo? Boy, were they scraping the bottom of the barrel...

[MikeAM78]

It's funny to see the people who would appear on this show. Like, I never would have thought I'd see Vincent Price on "Hollywood Squares," but I heard he was a frequent guest for awhile and enjoyed playing up his "menacing voice" while giving answers. That's just awesome!

[theatre4nothing]

How did the show afford to get Aretha Franklin on this show?

[butchboy13]

@theatre4nothing The same way they were able to get Cass Elliot and other VERY famous musicians, singers, etc.. Famous people in those days liked to have fun and didn't mind appearing on TV. I mean stars like Janis Joplin. She was on a Tom Jones special and even sang a duet with him. Cass appeared on Johnny Cash's show twice and sang not only her current hits at those times but also duet with him. Stars weren't the stuck-up, over-rated, and over-priced brats that they are now & did GS's & etc..

[plusone19]

@theatre4nothing This was a few years before she had her comeback with "Freeway Of Love" so she must have been going through a lull in her music career

[aleprbla]

if you were born in 1998 dont even bother guess the names of the people xD

[drumguy2007]

thats a sick vacation

[haleymist09]

Let's hear it for Rag-Apple!

[machiner6]

I heard about this when I played a certain PC Game: Jumpstart 3rd Grade, where this show's title was messed with: "Pollywood Squares". And I saw a bit of this show in The Ring. This game show looks fun to watch, next to wheel of fortune.

[davegoes]

Charro models that gorgeous fur very nicely.

[foxmask1992]

i only know like 2 of these people lol

[ispeaknonsense]

Aretha Franklin was/is gorgeous!

[AARTC94Adie]

Santa was in the army? how about that

[poprocks808]

weeeeeeeiiiiiirrrd racial overtones at the end there..

[flix2view]

What year was this? Has to be sometime in the 80s

[delideliver]

@flix2view this version of hollywood squares went off the air on 1980,so this show has to be from the 70's,it ran from 1966-1980

[nervchemnitz]

LMAO @ Air Canada... "flys you to more places in Canada than the United States"

[CROWOREGON]

@nervchemnitz he said flies you to more places in Canada FROM the United States"

[StukInBuf]

For many years, I often confused Marty Allen with Demosthenes from "Kojak." Please forgive.

[zsha9896]

@StukInBuf Omg when I saw this I did too.

[bunnyknows1]

Love the male contestants hair and beard. Bless him.

[AaronBruceLadner]

William Conrad starred on "Cannon" and "Jake and the Fatman".

[tvtimetravel]

@AaronBruceLadner Also pitchman for "First Alert" smoke detectors and the like.

[banjochris]

@AaronBruceLadner Also was the narrator of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" and "The Fugitive," Matt Dillon on "Gunsmoke" (on the radio), and Nero Wolfe on TV.

[MarilynMasonLuvr13]

oh jeez, the girl contestant has ferrah hair xD love it lmao gotta love paul lynde. my favorite thing he's said on this show was when the host asked him "when a man falls out of a boat, you yell "man over board!", so what do you yell when a woman falls out of a boat?" and paul said "full speed ahead" xD

[Jannette92]

...wow that guy talks fast :/ the host should talk slower so people could follow him. man! :P but a cool show! I love Paul Lynde haha :P

[XMLarry]

she (the female contestant) is cute!!

[WheelWatcher12345]

Tom Kline looks like Santa claus!

[LeahJane1995]

Yeah! He has a spitting image! @WheelWatcher12345

[ka85ak]

How so very beautiful!! Thank you my dear!!

[disneyfan81]

Ragapple is one horny bull!

[agentadvocate]

I adore that Vincent Price is as clever and handsome as ever. What a devil. <3

I'm so sad that Game Show Network doesn't divide into a new & classic set of channels. I doubt anyone is going to see Hollywood Square on TV again, but it was fun to see Paul Lynde & the gang while it lasted.

[vincentprice93]

Vincent Price not only was smart as can be, but he was one of the best original horror actors of his time! Scooby Doo was my favorite cartoon growing up, and my favorite person ever on there was Vincent Van Goul :) R.I.P Vincent Price Jr.

[Nickle98499]

The future voice of Vincent Van Ghoul on the thirteen ghosts of Scooby Doo in the squares, nice! BTW, i'm the voice of Vincent Van Ghoul was of course Vincent Price.

[GrooveMastaDreP]

Ha!! Mr. X is Santa Claus!! That's awesome!!

[66hourenergy]

Kenny William's isn't my favorite Squares announcer of all time, but man nothing beat him cracking up during the intro. RIP Good sir

[Nickle98499]

Yeah that was pretty funny; kind of an ironic question that Vincent Price got about fictional detectives, considering in 1985 he do a voice for a cartoon about a fictional detective: Scooby Doo.

[tvtimetravel]

He's my favorite HS announcer, as Peter Marshall is my favorite host.

[tvtimetravel]

@66hourenergy Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Kenney Williams announcer exclusively for the Heatter-Quigley game shows.

[disneyfan81]

@tvtimetravel Actually Kenny Williams did announce one Goodson-Todman game show in the early days of television (I can't remember the title) according to "The Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows". And interestingly enough, about the only two Heatter-Quigley games he did not announce were "Temptation" and "The Magnificent Marble Machine" which were both hosted by Art James.

[AaronBruceLadner]

@66hourenergy I bet you like Shadoe Stevens.

[perfecttomato14]

@66hourenergy He sounds a little bit like Johnny Gilbert, doesn't he?
