Still crazy, after all these years.

You know, it broke our heart when we discovered later in life (later than it should’ve) that many of those terrific Hollywood Squares come-backers were set-up. No matter – we still love(d) the show. We found the embed below while rummaging around for something else. As expected, Paul Lynn in the center square is prominently featured.

An exchange that is not included but should’ve been:

Peter Marshall: “Paul, do you smoke in bed?”

Lynn: (leering back at Marshall) “I don’t know, I’ve never looked.”

Enjoy!

(mild NSFWoH subject matter and double entendre'... but you knew that already)

Elvis: Branching out in directions you may not have been aware


We’re all biased by our own personal experiences so you can understand that while we might consider the 70s the Golden Age of Game Shows, it was only because that was the only time we ever watched them while staying home sick from school.

The Price is Right, Hollywood Squares, Match Game, Family Feud… great shows all but also some great theme music.

We were having this conversation with our little bro and we opined that the Family Feud theme was written for Elvis….. Vegas Elvis. Seriously. Listen to the banjo in the opening and then the horn section belting out that full sonic broadside and tell us you can’t picture the Rotund One in the white jumpsuit, knees bent in a half-crouch, microphone extended straight-out in one arm while the other is making a slow windmill motion….? Tell us!

Enjoy!
