The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Drinking Game
JMFabiano:
Leave It To Beaver week exclusive: take a drink whenever someone tells one of the cast members to recite a line from the show. When Richard Deacon gets mad at the audience booing him.
TLEberle:
Oh goody. I thought this was done. Silly me.

Re: MG/HS Hour, this would have been a better show with just one host. To go from the madcap energy of Gene to Jon, who's basically playing it straight and didn't really have Gene's comedic flair, back to Gene, is really jarring.
Also to have Jon on the Match Game panel every single day... they really could have used his seat for another rotating celebrity.
They also could have paid more respect to the historic format of Hollywood Squares, adding a secret square, etc.
All in all, NBC might have been better off just trying to revive Match Game with Gene in 1983. It might have worked. Here we are, 35 years later, and that's the main reason most people are watching these episodes anyway, the Match Game portion.
It's sort of sad that this was the last iteration of Gene Rayburn's Match Game; that really was his show.
Eric Paddon:
Some type of cash jackpot for a "Secret Square" that was non-score money (much like the Cashword on Super Password) in the 2nd HSQ game might have worked. That way there'd be some legitimate money stakes to play for in HSQ and make even the multiple-choice questions more interesting.

If memory serves, Sybil Danning gave an answer that was a little too explicit and had to be OOPSed out. Her episodes won't run for a couple of months.

Which just aired about a week ago indeed. ("Ass" got OOPSed out)
More drinking....
...every time Gene says something was not a booable answer.
...if Jon goes to commercial saying they'll be back, you come back too.
