- Because why not, here's most of an episode of The Hollywood Squares from the daytime NBC run in 1979. Unfortunately it cuts off after 20 minutes as this is as much as was recorded by the original provider.
The stars: Tim Reid, Daryl Anderson, Richard Sanders, Shelley Smith, John McCook, Didi Conn, George Gobel, Sydney Goldsmith, and Tom Poston.
Watch for a pretty amusing muck-up by Kenny Williams in the intro!!

The white contestant had the ultimate 70s quaffed haircut.
The motto back then was:
'The Wet Head is Dead!'.
One of the prizes was an answering machine.
Thank you for the trip back to the 70's.
Loved Holly Wood Squares Paul Lynde was my favorite funny person brought brings my spirit up when Im down or happy !
I know I was a bit too harsh when I first contacted you. I am a doctor, I might be able to help you, no charge.
Living celebrities from the board as of 9-29-20: Tim Reid (75), Daryl Anderson (69), Richard Sanders (80), Shelley Smith (67), John McCook (76), Didi Conn (69), & Sydney Goldsmith (74).
That 1979 "home video center" at 4:02 weights more than everything in my living room in 2020.
Loved that show love to watch it on You Tube now !
Like the 1979 commercials. In high school then.
To me Hollywood Squares is a Educational Game of Knowledge plus you learn so much with the Stars on the Tick tac Toe Board with the MC Peter Marshall
I’m so glad to hear your opinion mine too😮
It's really a game within a game. The two contestants are playing tic tac toe but Peter and the celebrities are playing 20 questions.
Mmm. Didi and Sydney, oh my. Even now I still love those two.
This show was aired on Wednesday, October 17, 1979.
Looks like those NBC CENSORS got to 'em at the last question!!!! Dude was right!
The "Real People" promo before "Hollywood Squares" was done by NBC's Bill McCord, whose voice also graced everything from the original "Tic Tac Dough" and "Twenty-One" to "Huntley-Brinkley" and "Nightly News" (the latter two as backup announcer to Bill Hanrahan).
John McCook,to this very day is Eric Forrester in BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL still going on CBS 1:30 ET/12:30 CT,RMT & PT.
Weird that the majority of the Squares are on other network shows 😂
Loved this show when Paul Lynde was on and Loved Wally Cox but he died in 1973 Loved Charley Weaver Vincent Price RoseMarie among the others some that are not on here !
Drugs destroyed Wally cox's life in 1973, Charley Weaver went through two devestating strokes in 1973 and 1974 and Paul Lynde died just several months after HS ceased production. If he had lived a little longer, would have he starred in the Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour? Perhaps.
Paul Lynde one of the regulars on the show was not included at the time.3rd Quarter of 1979,to be so very exact.
Aired week of October 15-19, 1979 on NBC daytime.
Nothing wrong with a lieutenant named Quackenbush. There was a hockey player in the NHL named Bill Quackenbush who played for the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins from 1942 to 1956. He would later coach the hockey team at Princeton from 1967 to 1973.
Fun Facts!
Center Square Paul Lynde got fired from the NBC daytime version of "The Hollywood Squares" on Friday, August 24, 1979. After nearly a thirteen month absence, he returned as a center square on the second week of our 1980-1981 & final season of syndicated daily shows when it was taped at the Versailles Theatre, Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Your post states "After nearly a thirteen month absence, he [Paul Lynde] returned as a center square on the second week of our 1980-1981 and final season of syndicated daily shows . . . "
Why did you write "our 1980-1981 and final season?" Were you actually an employee of the production staff for the original syndicated version (and daytime version too, for that matter) of "The Hollywood Squares?" Inquiring minds want to know.
And if you were a member of "THS" staff, do you happen to know why none of the videos of the original version of "THS" here on RUclips seem to feature the theme music at the beginning of each episode? To my recollection, at least for many of the earliest years (1966-71or so anyway) of the show, an abbreviated version of the theme music was played at the program's beginning and the full theme music over the credits' roll at the program's conclusion.
Of course I understand sometimes the final theme music and credits roll would be cut occasionally, if a program ran slightly overtime on the network, to allow enough time for commercials and local cut-ins before the next program. Although, in the case of "THS," at least on the East coast, the next program in most media markets would have been the local noontime news, since for most of its run (1966-76) the original "THS" aired 11:30 a.m.-noon on NBC. But I also know, at least for some of those years, NBC did offer programming at noon for the East coast, including "Jeopardy!" from 1965-74. And sometimes media markets (such as Boston) would preempt "Jeopardy!" (in those years of the original version hosted by Art Fleming)) for a noon newscast on NBC affiliate WBZ and air "Jeopardy!" on a delayed basis in off-network times mornings or late afternoons, or even not air Jeopardy!"at all for a few years. That situation woudl be unthinkable now, with the Alex Trebek-hosted "Jeopardy!" in syndication, which, along with "Wheel of Fortune' make a lot of ad revenues for affiliates. so much so that when preemption are necessary affiliates will even air the show in the overnight hours among a graveyard of infomercials.
Show was never the same after Paul Lynde left.
James Hampton (F-TROOP) is in the commercial for eggs at 19:17
As Kenny read the list of prizes in the $20,000 Secret Square, I thought to myself those things couldn't total $20,000.
+shoredude2 Did you allow for the year being 1979?
The price includes unwon secret squares
The secret squares not won, rolled over
This looks like the week of October 15, 1979. I found this from Dixon Hayes website. The celebrity listings may have been a bit off (TV Guide listings) but this does put it around that time. And I think it has been about a month since they started the Stan Worth theme.
Nothing like the original. Some of the later versions of the show, like with John Davidson as host in 1980s, was OK, but by 1990s, wayyyy watered down!!!! These celebrities, regardless of their race, etc, were educated, in a basic sense, when schools disciplined and teachers were actually able to teach..
Why did it cut off. I wanted to hear the answer to the final question.
The top row was the MTM row, Tim Reid from WKRP, Daryl Anderson from Lou Grant, and Richard Saunders from WKRP
Well, that makes this taping easy to date; it's James Hampton appearing in a spot(19:44). Must be 1979.
It says 1979 in the title
Miss O work across the street from the NBC studio Burbank 1979.
What's the answer to the last question ;)
Groucho played Dr. Hackenbush, not Quackenbush.
I knew it was oat meal when it said on of the most perfect person foods
After the March 5 1979 network switch in Mpls.St.Paul Mn when NBC MOVED FROM KSTP TV CH 5 TO WTCN CH.11 & ABC MOVED FROM KMSP TV CH.9 TO KSTP TV CH.5. CH 9 BECAME INDEPENDENT LIKE OLD CH 11.I was 7 years old & living at 1182 Selby Ave St.Paul Mn & still hadn,t started school until Sept.1980 until May of 1981 when me & my parents LOIS ANN ROUTHIER 10-28-1934-5-6-1984 & PHILLIP ANTHONY ROUTHIER 9-17-1924-8-6-2001 moved to Baltimore Md.
The guests by 79 for the most part were not as great as early 70's.
James Hampton in the Incredible Edible Egg Commercial, better known as Caretaker in the original LONGEST YARD with Burt Reynolds.
The original Teen Wolf movie: "An explanation is probably long overdue!"
Also Bugler Hannibal Dobbs on F-Troop.
Pierre LaCock! Classic!
is that peter marshall's real name
Yes
His son is former baseball player Pete LeCock.
@@armorybrunotjr.3204 I remember having the baseball card, a Topps 1981 card which displays Pete LeCock happily smiling in the photo card shoot. Only paid 16 cents for it back in 1987 but the portrait of him was priceless!!
2:44 Voice of John Bartholomew Tucker
7:47 Voice of Paul Frees
What's this? No fur coat from Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills?
Something happened to the company
I would like to see the episode(s)that have Gene Rayburn and Charles Nelson Reilly as panelists.
Tom Poston sat in the Center Square instead of Paul Lynde.
Lynde left the daytime show that summer.
ramen noodles, or whatever you call them, is loved by poor college students around the world
No paul lynde😮
The only time she has done this
Hollywood squares w/Peter Marshal ended in 1980 correct?
It ended on NBC in 1980. The series ended the next year.
I think peter Marshall should of hosted the Hollywood squares portion of the Matchgame/ Hollywood squares hour in 83/84
He did appear as a celebrity panelist on and off on Match Game in 1980 and 1981. But my guess is someone from Orion and not Heater-Quigley wanted Bowser from Shanana. Bad move! He never hosted a game show before or since. Also hosted the Pop and Rocker game as well. He should have at least some active employment. Why not host Joker's Wild instead of Bill Cullen for instance? I guess we will never know unless......
THE NBC HEADS DID NOT WANT PETER MARSHALL AGAIN!!--ALSO BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL EXECUTIVE PRODUCER THE LATE MERRILL HEATTER WASN,T INTERESTED IN REBOOTING 'SQUARES' AGAIN!! WHEN PETER MARSHALL GENE RAYBURN & ORIGINAL JEOPARDY HOST ART FLEMING WERE GUESTS ON JOAN RIVERS, TALK SHOW---PETER MARSHALL E PLAINED HOW HE TRIED TO GET SQUARES BACK ON THE AIR BUT MARK GOODSON & NBC WENT WITH JOHN BOWZER BAUMAN.BIG MISTAKE!!
@@meyerj75 and @bradhamilton4405 I remember reading somewhere on the net (it might have been on another clip here on youtube) that when Pete heard there was gonna be a format change for the game when it was to be rebirthed as Match Game/Hollywood Squares hour eliminating the bluffs and making most of the questions multiple choice or 50/50 (yes or no, true or false, etc.) type answers, he refused to do it. To him and many fans, the zingers were what made the show last so long. Not to mention that a player didn't have to earn a star themselves to win, if the other player made the wrong decision on a block question.
Incredible edible 🥚 egg
No Paul Lynde?
He left due to a salary dispute will Merrill Heatter.
not to embarrass you, but your question was asked answered 6 years before you reasked it, scroll up
Tim Reed was a cool dude
No Paul Lynde, no watch.
How could Beverly win? Both totals were $400.00.
Notice above the dollar amounts. It says "won one game". On the daytime "Squares" , they played best two out of three. And she probably had already won a game prior.
This would have been fall 1979.
Do you when they did their set change that fall?
*****
I think it was early January 1980 when they changed the set.
+Lupton2000 Too bad it was only used for 5 months after the original set lasted 13+ years. I like the disco theme, though I'm not a big fan of disco music in general.
Hate it when stars waste time trying to be funny.
That was the whole point.
@@brianoneill7186 Not for the contestants.
they changed the music in 79 it sucked...
ya what happened to paul lynde
@Dimitri Borozny The 90s show sucked!
Merrill and Heater's Theme prior to this was the best. They should never had changed it.
Corey wasn't eating too well
