Did You Tune In To This Star-Studded Game?
Nine glowing squares, each holding a familiar face from the golden age of TV. There’s laughter, playful banter, and maybe even a few wisecracks from a furry alien in the top left box. Contestants waited for that famous “X” or “O” to seal their fate while America watched, shouting answers from the couch. Do you remember tuning in to this star-studded game of wits and wit?
This iconic game show, Hollywood Squares, brought together celebrities, comedians, and even the occasional puppet (like ALF!) to fill a giant tic-tac-toe board of trivia and humor. Premiering in 1966 and running through several revivals, it was pure prime-time fun—part quiz, part comedy, and all charm. Did you ever watch it over dinner or try to play along at home?
