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.
