If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, this may bring a
tear to your eyes. These great questions and answers are from the days when the
'Hollywood Squares' game show responses were spontaneous and clever, not
scripted and (often) dull, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host
asking the questions, of course.

OMG, I just laughed so hard it hurt. I am a little young for the show but i remember seeing it and not really understanding all of the jokes. They are excellent.
