Going to a Hollywood Squares taping...

WHich network, if any of them, would be most willing to do this, is another story. Tom could host if he still wanted to do so, although a primetime weekly version might just sway Uncle Peter back into a full time hosting gig(he certainly seems capable of doing so, even at age 76, given his wonderful performance on Game SHow week last December) [/quote]
 Well, it didn't work with Dawson in 1994. I think after Bergeron leaves, the show should just die, they'll probably bring it back 5 years later anyway.

It was a great one, one of the best. (Poor Davidson, must stink to know the 2nd revival lasted double the 1st !)

zachhoran:
Squares is doing slightly better ratings-wise now than Feud was doing when Combs got fired.

I was suggesting that Squares be shopped elsewhere, and maybe Peter would want to do a primetime version of Squares if asked(he might not want to do a five-show taping day at this point). If Tom chose not to continue doing Squares, they could bring on someone else.

 At least we might see an actual finale...

 Only if they dig up Paul Lynde and Charley Weaver and Wally Cox.

They wouldn't have much to say, would they? ;)

Contestant: \"I'll take Wally Cox for the block, please.\"
Peter: \"Oh, Wally?\"
Wally: {silence}
Peter (continuing on): \"According to a Gallup poll....\"
Wally: {silence. A fly buzzes.}
