I watched the original Manchuria Candidate yesterday. The actors were slapping actresses on the ass all over the place. Made me laugh.

Hollywood Squares w/Paul Lynde as the Center Square?

I’d still rather watch Hollywood Squares than Two and a Half Men.

Thanks for the laughs.

As a child, most of those answers would have gone over my head. Now, having aged, those answers are laugh out loud funny.

[Chainmail]

Amazing what they could get away with..

I admit to laughing at these one liners back in the day and laughed again just now reading the post. Yet I wonder if such shows as Hollywood Squares enabled the growth of vulgarity and boorish behavior that have become part of American society over the last fifty years. Then again maybe zingers and innuendo were part of 1950’s television and they just went over my innocent head.

I've wondered if the panel was given the questions ahead of time so they could write the joke. I recall the show and how quick-witted they were.

Does anyone know?

[Carpe Cerevisi]

I’m pretty sure those answers were scripted.

[dangus]

Funny... but from the wording of those questions, do you REALLY think they weren’t being scripted???!

[cashless]

Scripted vs. non scripted is easily answered by asking, “Why would a game show need writers?”

[Jane Long]

Great humor. Something not produced, anymore.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah that show was very funny. 8>)
