Even so, there are cable channels on which you can still catch them in their already faded glory. I say \u201calready faded\u201d because no one who was still \u201chot\u201d in show biz went on \u201cThe Hollywood Squares\u201d\u2014not the panelists and certainly not its succession of hosts, from Peter Marshall to John Davidson, then Tom Bergeron, who reminds me a bit too much of Soupy Sales (also presumed dead). Don\u2019t get me wrong, all those hosts were as affable as can be. And all were as dull as Miracle Whip\u00ae on Ry-Crisp\u00ae.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, Jaye P. Morgan joined \u201cThe Hollywood Squares\u201d after losing her gig as a regular panelist on \u201cThe Gong Show\u201d for flashing her breasts during a taping. I\u2019m not kidding. Can you imagine being booted off \u201dThe Gong Show\u201d because you offended someone\u2019s sense of good taste? And that your penance consisted of becoming one of \u201cThe Hollywood Squares\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>These two shows are among the programs often cited to explain why Newton Minnow called television a \u201cvast wasteland\u201d when he was head of the Federal Communications Commission.\u00a0He actually said this in 1965, though, which was a year before \u201cHollywood Squares\u201d made it onto the regular TV schedule and 11 years before \u201cThe Gong Show\u201d premiered. So he was more likely talking about \u201cThe Beverly Hillbillies\u201d (1962-1971) and \u201cPetticoat Junction\u201d (1963 to 1970). Perhaps this prescience is why Newton Minnow is called a visionary, despite having a name that makes him sound like a tiny fish cookie. (Yo, Pixar! How about a character named Newton Minnow for the next \u201cFinding Nemo\u201d sequel? Message me.)<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;TV Online Ad &#8211; Facemasks&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243; global_module=&#8221;2603&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;]<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1540304&#038;u=1383997&#038;m=28718&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=goldman\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.shareasale.com\/image\/28718\/facemasksbanner.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"TV Store Online\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.shareasale.com\/image\/28718\/facemasksbanner.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"TV Store Online\" \/><\/noscript><\/a>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>As of this writing, I\u2019ve ZOOMed exactly twice. I enjoyed the experiences. They were with some of my high school theatre buddies and I\u2019d meant to join them for a few earlier sessions but was having trouble with the technology. Something as seemingly easy as installing an app and following the instructions counts as technology for someone like me, who\u2019s still trying to determine where his lap goes when he stands up.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.7&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Once I finally was able to fill one of the eight squares\u2014after no fewer than three of those buddies coached me on it, off-line\u2014I found the whole thing fun and quietly chaotic, not unlike attending a cocktail party where you\u2019ve already had a little too much to drink and have to whip your head in different directions every time someone says your name because you\u2019re never quite sure where the voice is coming from. This is because the positions of the squares change. Also because you may have had a little too much to drink.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what a ZOOM meeting is like if the subject matter is serious, so feel free to write me here at The Goldman State. If I receive enough letters, maybe we\u2019ll set up a ZOOM meeting of our own to discuss it. I\u2019ll see if Jaye P.
