A Holywood Square?


If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, this may bring a tear to your eyes.

Oh yes, this does take me back. Those people were truly comedic geniuses. And old Charlie Weaver looked so innocent and grandpa-like, but man he must have been born with a twinkle in his eye, because he was a riot.

Paul Lynde was simply a one-of-a-kind. Nobody like him ever.

I'd watch those again, along with the old episodes of the Tonight Show, with JC. I have some of those on DVD, and they are just so good!

Thanks for the post!

Good grief!! I remember a lot of those lines. I really enjoyed Hollywood Squares back then. Charlie Weaver was such a hoot! I really looked forward to the list of guest stars each week. The regulars were like old friends with fresh comedic lines every week!

I enjoyed the Squares as well. These are great! Paul Lynde was my favorite. No one ever came close to his "style".

Rob, I can agree with you. We have a TV but it is rarely on.

Oh Man, thank you so much. I haven't laughed like that since my wife took her shower this morning...never mind.

Charlie Weaver, what a great personality. The uncle you wished you'd had growing up.
