[edit] 1986 & 1998 Theme Songs

There is no offical name to those songs. "It's Hip To Be Square" is part of the lyrics to a promo for the show back in the mid-to-late 1980s. The 1998 version is registered only as "New Hollywood Squares Theme", as per this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.202.214.28 (talk) 04:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Celebrity panelists

Is a listing of "other notable celebbrity panelists" really necessary? Practically everyone who's ever sniffed fame has been on this show. Adding people to the list who don't have a wikipedia entry is especially ridiculous, but other than a handful of semi-regulars, I may just clip the whole thing entirely.

[edit] Tic Tac Dough?

I've never seen the original 50's version of Tic Tac Dough, but I've seen the 70's reairing, and it seems like Hollywood Squares in some ways is based at least a bit on the format. Two players, answering trivia questions for tic-tac-toe squares - like Tic Tac Dough meets Match Game... I was just wondering if there's any connection between Hollywood Squares and the original TTD in the form of inspiration or anything like that TheHYPO 16:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "For the win"

Participants on the show often used to the phrase "for the win" when picking a square that could seal their victory. This phrase has recently become a popular Internet slang term, usually abbreviated as "ftw". Did Hollywood Squares originate this phrase or does it date back further?

[edit] Grand Slam

Anybody recall the name of the guy on Bergeron's version that went 5 shows without a loss? Trekphiler 05:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood Squares 1986 on GSN

Is Hollywood Squares with John Davidson coming to Game Show Network soon? or not?

It says just yet, so I don't know if it is or not.

[edit] Just Yet

WHat does JUST YET mean, are they getting rights to it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.228.70.72 (talk) 03:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Dark Shadows/HS

I coudla sworn that Peter said in his book that nearly 3500 episodes were discovered, basically the entire series intact. Am I wrong? 68.55.126.133 00:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

It's unclear who is correct. I tend to lean towards Peter's side, myself, but his theory would mean that every episode from 1970-on, daytime and syndicated, would exist. We'll most likely never know the full story...FamicomJL 01:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
