HollyWood Squares
« on: November 23, 2004, 06:15:54 pm »
If you remember The Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, even if you don't remember, this will definitely make you laugh.

These great questions and answers are from the days when "Hollywood Squares"
game show responses were spontaneous and clever, not scripted & dull as they are now.

Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course......

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. Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.

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?

The advantages of living in the Heart of Dixie- low cost of living, peace and quiet and a conservative majority. For some reason I think that the first two items have a lot to do with the presence of the last one.

They are especially good because I can imagine thier voices, accents and attitudes (especially Paul Lynde's and George Gobel's)...good clean triple entendre

Paul Lynde wasn't just witty, he was downright caustic!

My brother and I used to look forward to ANY programs he was on...
... except for a series that bombed; a hospital sitcom, I think it was called "Temperatures Rising".  He was still biting, but less funny for some reason.

Ah the days when you could actually laugh out loud while watching TV.  Today everything is so canned, scripted and vanilla it's amazing.  Unless you find people jumping into bed with each other every other minute funny I guess.

Scripted... except the so called "reality" programming, which is just an excuse to not pay writers by letting morons make it up as they go.   Please, please, PLEASE let us return to TV written by people who can maybe actually write.  Somtimes they're even worth the money.

"Real Gilligans Island" Puh-leeze... Sherwood Schwartz could own any of those 1d10ts on his worst day.


Paul's Lynde's best role - gay uncle Arthur on "Bewitched"  Oh they never came out and _said_ he was gay but Lynde played it that way and it was *hilarious*
Second best role - Center Square on Hollywood Squares - there was always a snappy comeback
Third best - Templeton in "Charlott's Web"

For some really fun Hollywood Squares memories catch Kathy Griffin's "B-List Comedian" on A&E or Bravo... the pasting she gives Anna Nicole Smith is absolutely priceless.
