I received this email and had to share it with you. They had some great liquored up folks in those days!!!

Hollywood Squares:

If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and
its comics, this may bring a tear to your eyes. These great
questions and answers are from the days when "
Hollywood Squares" game show responses were
spontaneous, not scripted, as they are now. Peter Marshall
was the host asking the questions, of course.



Q. Do female frogs croak?
A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under
water long enough.

Q. If you're going to make a parachute jump,
at least how high should you be?
A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking
should do it.

Q. True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000
years.
A. George Gobel: Boy, it sure seems that way
sometimes.

Q. You've been having trouble going to sleep.
Are you probably a man or a woman?
A. Don Knotts: That's what's been keeping
me awake.

Q. According to Cosmopolitan, if you meet a
stranger at a party and you think that he is attractive, is
it okay to come out and ask him if he's married?
A. Rose Marie: No; wait until morning.

Q. Which of your five senses tends to diminish as
you get older?
A. Charley Weaver: My sense of decency.

Q. In Hawaiian, does it take more than three words
to say "I Love You"?
A. Vincent Price: No, you can say it with a
pineapple and a twenty.

Q. What are "Do It," "I Can
Help," and "I Can't Get Enough"?
A. George Gobel: I don't know, but it's
coming from the next apartment.

Q. As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more
or less with your hands while talking?
A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old
question Peter, and I'll give you a gesture you'll
never forget.

Q. Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
A. Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.


Q. Charley, you've just decided to grow
strawberries. Are you going to get any during the first
year?
A. Charley Weaver: Of course not, I'm too busy
growing strawberries.

Q. In bowling, what's a perfect score?
A. Rose Marie: Ralph, the pin boy.

Q. It is considered in bad taste to discuss two
subjects at nudist camps. One is politics, what is the
other?
A. Paul Lynde: Tape measures.

Q. During a tornado, are you safer in the bedroom
or in the closet?
A. Rose Marie: Unfortunately Peter, I'm always
safe in the bedroom.

Q. Can boys join the Camp Fire Girls?
A. Marty Allen: Only after lights out.

Q. When you pat a dog on its head he will wag his
tail. What will a goose do?
A. Paul Lynde: Make him bark?

Q. If you were pregnant for two years, what would
you give birth to?
A. Paul Lynde: Whatever it is, it would never be
afraid of the dark.

Q. According to Ann Landers, is there anything
wrong with getting into the habit of kissing a lot of
people?
A. Charley Weaver: It got me out of the army.

Q. It is the most abused and neglected part of your
body, what is it?
A. Paul Lynde: Mine may be abused, but it certainly
isn't neglected.

Q. Back in the old days, when Great Grandpa put
horseradish on his head, what was he trying to do?
A. George Gobel: Get it in his mouth.

Q. Who stays pregnant for a longer period of time,
your wife or your elephant?
A. Paul Lynde: Who told you about my elephant?

Q. When a couple have a baby, who is responsible
for its sex?
A. Charley Weaver: I'll lend him the car, the
rest is up to him.

Q. Jackie Gleason recently revealed that he firmly
believes in them and has actually seen them on at least two
occasions. What are they?
A. Charley Weaver: His feet.

Q. According to Ann Landers, what are two things
you should never do in bed?
A. Paul Lynde: Point and laugh

He may have been as queer as a 3 1/2 dollar bill but god damn Paul Lynde was one of the funniest people I've ever seen on TV. George Gobel was a riot too with his deadpan answers.

BTW, I thought I read somewhere that they actually got to see the questions before the show.

Game shows from back in the day were classic. The newlywed game was awesome. There were a few others that routinely had actors as guests, but I can't think of their name. Can't see any of the snob actors today ever having fun on a show like that.

Match Game was another where the guests would be cocked out of their gourds cracking risque jokes in rapid fire succession.

.....on that show! just hilarious....gold even.

I saw a special on him and his career and i never knew how funny he was on other shows but even the documentary pretty much said that Squares was his coup de grace.

Serioulsy, shows like that, Carson back in the day (when they would be swirling their scotch on TV) , Match game and all those early 70's shows...seriously, we didn't know at the time but we do now that that whole era was just special, that's all i can say really.....now it's all reality shows.

OH! ....Password was another that was off the f'in hook.

....I just remembered this one.

Card Sharks
It ran for 3 years on NBC and Jim Perry was the host. It debuted on September 6,1978 to September 9, 1981. They each had 2 contestants which they to bet high or low. It sort it like the price is right except they had to play with cards.

I loved this one.

The Dating Game (everything was make "whoopie"....and then they'd whack the schit outta each other w/those big ass cards)

Family Feud (the Dawson version)

Gong show

The Joker's Wild
A true classic that ran from 1972-75, then 78-86 and 90. Players spin a slot machine that shows categories and jokers(which increase dollar value) and, in the bonus round, the devil, which bankrupts you. Jack Barry hosted.

Let's Make a Deal

Make Me Laugh
Comedians take turns trying to make contestants laugh. If they can hold out for a certain amt. of time they win. (a fave of mine)

Name That Tune

One time I saw a show where one question Eubanks asked (and I sure it was asked probably every 3rd show) was "Where's the strangest place you've ever made whoopie?" and this one black guy answers "Well Bob, most definitely (and it sounded like he said "mo-dimley") up da butt!" Bob didn't know what the fuck to do. :shocked: To say the least

there was this guy who memorized the pattern that the spin did, and was able to "cheat" the show out of a huge amount of money. I think it went off the air a short time after that .
