hollywood squares clips 1 from 1968 with Barbara Bain

[elc1960]

The '68 Firebird - one of America's coolest muscle cars. Sad to say, most of those stars are gone now. This version of the show was so much superior to the late 1990s version with Tom Bergeron and Whoopi Goldberg (you absolutely HAD to start every round of play with Whoopi because she was the producer of the show). And don't even get me started about the early 1980s version with Bowzer from Sha Na Na as host.

Hey Jan, you are right, the dollar isn't worth anything anymore.

In a few more years, our kids will ask what Pontiac and Pan Am are.

@luciremagazine

Pan Am has been gone for so long it's almost that bad now... :(

[Gernot2003]

When I was little, I used to get Dean Jones and Fred McMurray mixed up! :) And I'll ALWAYS hear Underdog whenever Wally Cox speaks! :)

[craybee06]

wow. i was in my mom's tummy when this was aired. and that dean jones was pretty cute.

[PatrioticPirate]

That winner's theme (3:25)... that sounds sooooo good!

[1959AverellHarriman]

You died too early, Wally. What a sweet sweet man in character--and somewhat the wild man in real life!

I love The original Hollywood Squares! I loved the music, the stars (especially Dean Jones, he's one of my idols), the humor, Peter Marshall (didn't want to leave him out), just about everything!

The only thing that's missing is Kenny Williams' standard opening- "ONE of these stars is sitting in the 'Secret Square', and the contestant who picks it first, could win a prize package worth $----...WHICH STAR IS IT?".

[wmbrown6]

I don't know, but I don't think that opening you mentioned was on the 1968 prime-time shows - unless, when GSN aired them last, they edited it out.

Dean Jones and Buddy Hackett starred in one of my favorite childhood movies, "The Love Bug" together.

The only Hollywood Sqaures worth watching is this one, the original from 1966-1980.

[kpyng]

The original and best.

[gameshowfrk]

Actually, you mean 1966 to 1981. The syndicated night-time version continued on for a another year and a half taped from The Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas.

[Stoned69]

Charley Weaver a/k/a Cliff Arquette was the grandfather of actors Rosanna Arquette, David Arquette and Patricia Arquette.

[PsyCouture]

Wasn't Hollywood Squares a spin-off of another show?

[ccie12933]

Not really. Actually, we're lucky we ever got to see it after Bert Parks' hosting job in the pilot.

"I ASK YOU, MR. X, TRUE OR FALSE?"

He was a tad excitable.

[gameshowfrk]

Actually, he said, "I ASK YOU, MR. X/MISS O, IS YOUR ANSWER RIGHT OR WRONG?!"

[megamanj2007]

Barbara Bain and Martin Landau were married for many, MANY years and once they were gone from "Mission: Impossible" at the end of the 1968-69 TV season, not only did their careers in jeopardy, but so was their marriage as they divorced for good in the early '90s.

[drummerbraves]

They did Space:1999 together from 1975 to 1977.
