Use Enough GunI've been watching the Game Show Network recently and they've had Hollywood Squares on there, along with some of the other 'ancient' ones. It's not only still funny, but to see the 70's style clothing and hairdos is quite funny in itself. Of course, a big pay off was $500!

NormanConquestThat was a great show. Although all the contestants were funny, Paul Lynde was always my favorite.
