Game Time: The return of the Storybook Squares (1976)

YouTube unearthed a 1976 Storybook Squares installment of The Hollywood Squares. Until now, only 1 1969 episode of the original Storybook series and a couple of 1977 episodes had been available.

Unlike the 1969 series, this version has three generations of families playing. Here we go.

Edit, 5/28/23: Had to change the video again. This version features a completely different cast, including Big Bird, Pat Harrington as Leonardo Da Vinci, and Paul Lynde as the Monster of Frankenstein.



This also affords announcer Kenny Williams some rare on screen time. I honestly wish they could release this on DVD, but that isn't likely.

Rating: A.

Custer's not a fictional character, but hey, I like Rip Taylor.

I guess they're counting the history books.
