Hollywood Squares - 3rd Season Premiere (1988) (4/4) Video

From September 1988, it's the 3rd season premiere of the 80s version of Hollywood Squares, with a slightly tweaked set and theme - celebs include boxing promoter Don King, Betty White, Charles Nelson Reilly, and Marc Summers.

Tell your friends:

Tubewings: They really made the bonus game harder in this season, since all five cars were offered every day, and there were nine keys (each key held by a Square).

bluelobster: You know, I've watched this episode a half dozen times, and it's the first time I've ever noticed the bonus game rule change.

Tubewings: Of course, as we all know, they basically ripped off of the 70s version of Split Second's bonus game for the first two years (pick a key, choose a car, if it doesn't start, you pick from one of the remaining cars if you win the next game, until you win five games, in which you win the remaining car and retired). Here, you stayed until you either won the car or were beaten in the main game.

TVLubber: But there's a good side to it. The 5-time limit is scrapped, and thus giving the players chances to win more cash and prizes.

johnnysama: I like this update to the theme song. It sounds even jazzier, and I swear, the saxes were done by Kenny G on this version!

Tubewings: If I were producing the show (theoretically), I would have kept the "each car available every day" bit, but I'd change the key selection thing to having one star eliminated for each day they return to the bonus round (2nd time--1 key gone, 3rd time--2 keys gone, etc.). True, there would be a limit (9 games), but it makes the car a little easier to win. Also, when there's only one key left, they get to pick whatever car they want.

willjarmon: Man for those who are theme collectors we all have the 1988 theme I wish i could get the 1988-89 package
