4. God...I miss that show.
Some of the best comedy came from Hollywood Squares and Match Game. Those, plus the Dean Martin roasts.

Them were the days.

Thanks for sharing! I passed it along to another HS afficionado.

7. I loved Paul Lynde. He practiced nuance in a way that many of his imitators and biggest fans do not.
:(

9. Were you allowed to watch "Love, American Style"?
You might be a lot younger than me, but I remember sneaking around between ages six and 11 to watch it. I didn't know _exactly_ what it was about but I had a "sneaking suspicion" I was interested. :rofl:

14. Oh Yes, I Watched "Love American Style"...at least until
My mother would come around the corner and realize that I was enthralled.

TV went off, and I left somewhat confused and somewhat titillated.

I was 9 or 10 at the time. Oh, Heidi, I do miss those days.

11. Thanks!
Priceless and so damned funny. If I can ever find the original HS on cable somewhere I swear that I'll record it on my DVR.

I laughed as I read through these and my 9-year old daughter wanted to know what was so funny. God I miss TV like this.
