And you can watch them. Go to YouTube and type in Hollywood Squares. They pick the old ones. 🙂
Heeheehee! Thank you, now i get to go to work laughing!
And you've a day of hard work sorting through all that furniture. 🙂
Those are hysterical. Kissing a lots people struck my funny bone but then they were all really good. You have a fun day Sandee along with Zane and Little Bit.
Yes, those were some very funny people. 🙂
That was such a good show. They should bring it back.
But could you find witty people like that today? Without the vulgarity? Maybe. 🙂
some great old timers there, have a wonderful day! xoxo
Yes, they were great old timers. 🙂
Give me more, give me more. I just love those characters on that show. Have a funny, silly hilarious Thursday Sandee. He,he,he, See ya.

Me too Paul. I always looked forward to each and every show. Good clean fun. 🙂
These are great! And I think you said these were off the top of their heads? I admire someone who can be that quick witted!
Yes, they were off the top of their heads. I admire folks that can think that quick too. 🙂
I love these, Sandee ~~ Most seem to be bedroom or sex oriented, I'm still smiling. I watched that program but can't picture any part of it. YouTube probably has lots of episodes. ??? =))
BTW, that day's shrimp salad was really good. Princess always has a snack bar besides the coffee bar with pastries and light eating. It was my lunch that day. Oh, I might have gone topside for a pizza or a krautdog or both.
h-(
YouTube has tons of these old shows.
That shrimp salad looked so good. 🙂
Fantastic funny =))
They were indeed. Have a woof woof day you two. 🙂
LOL nice…. I like watching those on YouTube! – http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
Me too. They are a blast from the past. 🙂
Paul Lynde always had the best answers.
He did didn't he. I always liked him the very best. 🙂
I remember those days, but never really a big fan of the show although I did watch it some. Keep in mind, not many choices in those times.
There weren't many choices back then indeed. At midnight there wasn't any television at all. Just the test pattern. 🙂
BWAHAHA!! Never point and laugh and never no never do it in bed!
So very true. Takes romance to an all time low. 🙂
Classics all. c-)
Yes indeed Odie. 🙂
Q. According to Ann Landers, 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.
buwahahhaha
Charley was a hoot wasn't he. 🙂
They had some pretty good guests on that program back in the day.
They sure did. Some of my favorites. 🙂
Great replies. Paul Lynd always made me laugh.
Paul Lynde was a very funny man. 🙂
LOL!!! Paul Lynde always made me laugh, he was such a riot. 🙂
He was most witty. And the zingers just came natural for him. 🙂
