IJMC - Peter Marshall's Hollywood Squares

Why do I feel so appropriate sending out an entire post about squares? 
Maybe because that is just the way I am...and hey, there are advantages 
to just coming home from work and just hanging out for an evening. Doing 
dishes, reheating leftovers, burning a few gigs worth of MP3's to take to 
the office instead of 20 cds...then a nice, quiet sleep under my flannel 
comforter, wake up to some cereal and orange juice and go to work again. 
Sounds just about heavenly right now. At least the sleep part...    -dave




The original (1966-1981) is still the best. But sadly, those *&^%$)#@!!
at NBC destroyed or erased all but a few tapes of this wonderful
show...so all we have now are memories...like these...
