Who remembers the original and some of it's comics. Paul Lynde, Charley Weaver and Rose Marie . Their answers were off the cuff and not scripted, unlike the more recent versions. As a reminder, I have posted a few questions and their answers. Of course, Peter Marshall is asking the questions.
I hope you all enjoy!!
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. In bowling, what's the perfect score?
A. Rose Marie: Ralph, the pin boy.

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

Q. What are "dual-purpose cattle" good for that other cattle aren't?
A. Paul Lynde: They give milk and cookies...but I don't recommend the cookies.

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

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

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

Q. True or false: Many people sleep better in their street clothes than their pajamas?
A. Paul Lynde: Yes. We call them winos.

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

I loved the original Hollywood Squares. No one could ever replace Plau Lynde and the comebacks he had. He was fantastic. The rest of the crew was as well but he just really made the show. I loved watching him on there. There were times you just felt so sorry for Peter Marshall. He was almost falling on the floor at times with the laughter but he managed to always pull it back together. He was remarkable with that. I wish we could watch the old ones in reruns. They would be fun to have.

I would definitely watch them. i don't know why they aren't on The Game Show Network. I think I will have to write them and ask them about it. Maybe it is some kind of copyright thing.
Paul Lynde had the funniest laugh. Makes me laugh just thinking about it.
Thanks for responding.

I hate to burst your bubble, but many of the stars were informed before the show of what some of the questions would be like so they had time to think up witty answers. I think it was in the small print at the end of the show. And I've seen documentaries about it. Sorry. They were still funny though.

GMTA! LOL...I ran a search to see if this was already posted, and nothing came back, so I posted the same thing and sure enough, I look at the bottom of the page and here is your discussion!

Mylot needs to do something about its search function to avoid duplicate discussions. Sorry about the double post.
