aw thanks! I've always wanted to see a hollywood squares with barbara eden. What year is this? 1966-67?

[thewhammy83]

My guess is somewhere around 1967-68.

Did anyone find that big pause very eerie?

[nycboy3489]

@AaronBruceLadner That's funny, I'd admit Shadoe Stevens is no Kenny Williams. : )

[quizmaster85]

@Hondo20132 Yes; the only reason I could think of was that they may have edited out the audio announcement of prizes for the evening

@megamanj2004X Exactly. Almost all of the NBC daytime version was erased along with many other shows because the cost of videotape at that time was prohibitively expense to use only once.

Of course, no one at that time could have figured these shows would continue to sustain their popularity years later to where there would be a demand to re-air them. If they did, I would think they'd be raking in a fortune now on DVD sales of these shows because they have withstood the test of time!

You Must Admit, Kenny Williams is a Good Announcer, but he's Definitely No Shadoe Stevens.

I'm SO glad that this version was found!! I so love shows like this. Wish there were more gems like this UNTOUCHED and in great condition,too! Now only if this was converted to DVD and/or blu-ray. More game shows should be on disc as well.

0:37-0:55 WTF?

[Nemesis7293]

Woof! Robert Morse was so cute! His face, his voice, that little gap between his front teeth.......he was just bitable.

[weatherboi]

They didn't get much of the game in on this vid.

I always preferred the nighttime version for some reason. All it needed was Paul.
