Has anyone else noticed the irony in the game show "Hollywood Squares?

Asked by Self_Consuming_Cannibal (4269points) January 2nd, 2013

I think it’s strange that a show called “Hollywood Squares” seems to be only have people who’s Hollywood careers are over. It seems to me that when you go onto Hollywood Squares, that your Hollywood career is officially over.

They have to go somewhere. It used to be What’s My Line was the graveyard of Hollywood careers.

Hasn’t Joan Rivers been on HS before?

IIRC, Paul Lynde was on it after Bewitched was cancelled.

Are they showing it in your area?

Wait… wasn’t that part of the joke? That they were all “squares” now?

@Brian1946 I haven’t seen it in a long time, but I’ve noticed once you see an actor/actress on there, you never see them play in anything worth while.

@SavoirFaire Well I never thought of it that way, but I don’t think that, that does have anything to do with it, but I like that line of thought.

Has anyone noticed the irony that someone admits to having every watched the show?

Ok, ok. I’ll admit to seeing it for a total about fifteen minutes in my life. But that was spread over about three different hospital stays.

I hardly ever watch TV. But I never watch daytime TV. Unless it’s a football game. I gotta find some way to pretend I’m a man, don’t I?
