FORGETTING TREVEON HEMRY BIRTHDAY IS NOT THE SAME AS FORGETTING JOY BY SWEET DREAMS AN IMPOSSIBLE SONG:

 I am still very sorry about ruining Trey's life. ... Okay just his birthday. I still want to make it right with Treveon Hemry. However, I still want many things in life.

I seem to want the impossible.

such as this:

The most popular game show packager of any time period is going to be Fremantle, initially Mark Goodson and Bill Todman. While they are the easiest and very enjoyable game shows to watch, they are not necessarily the best game shows to watch. 

They, despite not packaging The Hollywood Squares previously, was able to put together The Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour. The host Gene Rayburn returned and also became a permanent panelist for the so called Hollywood Squares segment. The other host and permanent panelist for Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour was Jon Bauman, better known as his character Bauzer, and sadly not Peter Marshall. While Peter Marshall did appear as a guest panelist a few times for Goodson - Todman, Bauman was there much more often, and was allowed to appear in character. Also consider that this Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour is an hour long Match Game as well as produced by Goodson - Todman, or technically Mark Goodson. Thus they simply asked Jon Bauman to host it.

Match Game, previously known as The Match Game, is the easiest classic game show to find.

Hollywood Squares, previously known as The Hollywood Squares, is the most difficult.

There has to be approaching 6,000 The Hollywood Squares episodes made before 1982. Through a combination of fan recordings, celebrity panelists receiving a copy of their episodes as a part of their contracts, and different air time slots, several people believe the surviving episode count to be around 3,000. Considering that practically zero game shows from the 1960s exist any more, and that The National Broadcasting Company did not want to cram daytime television in to their archives until the 1990s (also happens to be when that network stopped airing them), that would be a surprising amount. Even the first run syndication episodes, and the prime time episodes put together ?! That is at least 1,000 episodes !! 

And yet not many people are able to remember Peter Marshall, who did not enjoy a long tenure with any other game show. ... be cause Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley game shows, among all the other packagers EXCEPT for Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, are shoved aside.

I finally got sick and tired of all the episodes of Match Game. I had previously wanted to watch compilation videos from The Game Show Channel ?! on You Tube, that they titled THE MYSTERY 7. These and all the stand alone episodes were made unavailable when that channel was taken down be cause UMMM  I DO NOT KNOW PERHAPS IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL IS NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT A GAME SHOW ?!

And no, there were not any Pyramid episodes included on it. These were simply reuploads of BUZZR be cause people do not know how to spell any more and BUZZR holds much of the Fremantle collection which includes other acquisitions also such as Reg Grundy and Al Howard game shows.

But not The Hollywood Squares, unless you include The Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour, which was included in " The Mystery 7 " compilations. ... Also, the people behind the scenes of The Fun And Games Channel must not like Whoopi Goldberg, as they did air Hollywood Squares, the post One Ho Productions episodes, and none of the John Davidson nor Peter Marshall episodes.

The only thing left to watch was almost entirely MATCH GAME. 

Getting sick and tired of the Cannibal jokes, in other words citizens of any so called Third World Country ?!, and getting sick and tired of Gene Rayburn's quirks such as saying " WeGottaDoALittleBusinessWithAmerica " before going to commercial, " We'reOffAndRunning " is another nusiance. The thirsty female contestants lusting for Richard Dawson also got on my nerves. Many ladies, when they had some free time from being Domestic Engineers, they announced that they were highly skilled yet unemployed. They spent their time as game show contestants. There simply had to be more female contestants compared with male contestants. It stands to reason that most of the winners are going to be ladies. And so what happens in roughly half of the CBS episodes is that they chose ... 

Riiiiicharrd !!

while Dawson, who I do not necessarily hate, had this Pepe Le Pew vibe.

thus I got sick and tired of him also.

And I certainly loathe The Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour, despite the state of the art set complete with NBC issued sound effects. ( You guessed it, I am sick and tired of the CBS issued sound effects. ) 

In other words I decided to do the impossible:

Watch episodes ot The Hollywood Squares hosted by Peter Marshall.

For those that are unfamiliar with Peter Marshall, which is all of you, his hosting style is a combination of Allen Ludden & Bill Cullen. 

You are going to be familiar with Allen Ludden and Bill Cullen, whose surviving episode count is about the same as Peter Marshall's episodes, particularly if you include All Star Blitz.

Allen Ludden, host of College Bowl, was Betty White's husband, and they were on Password as early as the 1960s. Despite there being only one season of daytime and one season of primetime available in color, this is practically the only game show from the 1960s to have ANY episodes in color. They moved to The American Broadcasting Company; these episodes are now lost. Allen Ludden also hosted a game show known as Stumpers, which utilized a state of the art futuristic set. He also hosted Password Plus, which survives today. However, Allen Ludden died not long after. Tom Kennedy, Bill Cullen's Brother In Law, took over hosting. They later revived Password Plus as Super Password in order to preserve Allen Ludden's legacy, and since Tom Kennedy was busy with another game show, Bert Convy hosted it.

The result is that there are not that many episodes of Allen Ludden.

Bill Cullen also has a similar fate. Host of The Price Is Right BACK WHEN THEY ACTUALLY CARED, was a longtime friend of Bob Stewart, who produced numerous often short lived minimalistic game shows. None of them exist until 1980, except for Pyramid, as it was made for CBS during one season, so its episodes are still around. They changed networks to ABC, which began to preserve the episodes ... eventually. Basada's first foray into First Run Syndication was a 5 year run of Pyramid which includes Bill Cullen as host. 

As for Bill Cullen's state of the art game show that got wiped off the face of the earth ?! That would be Blankety Blanks, which shows that things that are common everywhere such as Computer Memory Cards existed back then. The game board and game play was generated by selecting a Memory Card. As with Stumpers, it is very sad that these episodes are not available any more.

One of the more forgettable Basada game shows is Pass The Buck, airing on CBS, and is a perfect example of how silly Basada game shows can be.

Aside from hosting a talk show, and public access cable ( QUBE ) ... Bill Cullen was a regular panelist on the NBC Syndicated version of To Tell The Truth, often sharing the desk with Gene Rayburn.

Bill Cullen was active through most of the 1980s, beginning with Chain Reaction, Blockbusters, Child's Play, Hot Potato, The Joker's Wild, and probably a few others I might have forgotten.

Add all these episodes together, you should be able to watch Bill Cullen easier than Allen Ludden actually.

So now you either should know who they are, or can find out.

And my point being that if you like them, you are going to like Peter Marshall also.

And since Peter Marshall was not employed by Goodson - Todman save for a few episodes as a Password Plus Panelist, it is very difficult to watch his episodes.

And just look at what I found while watching !!

SOME THING THAT MAKES THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES SEEM AS PROMINENT AS THE " NEW " PRICE IS RIGHT. 

Music.

Please do not ask me what my favorite song is.

It is some thing that I am not able to listen to.

Nobody else knows about it, NOT EVEN GOOGLE.

During a couple of 1978 " Party " episodes of The Hollywood Squares, they played during the end credits segment a song by a band.

Both of which are very extremely obscure.

At least Peter Marshall, being the dignified man he is, was kind enough to provide the name of both before they played the music. And since they got up and danced ( kind of ) to it, that suggests game shows play all the sounds and music in real time and not in post production.

The name of the song is Joy, and the name of the band is Sweet Dreams.

Joy by Sweet Dreams

Attempting to search for it results in too many results of other songs, since Joy, and Sweet Dreams, are very common words.

It is not available on You Tube either, which is very disappointing.

The only evidence of its existence is during the end of two episodes of The Hollywood Squares. I am not good at listening to the lyrics but even if I could, I am unable to find them as they are not going to be in any Lyrics Database. 

I listened to literally HALF A SONG and I WANT TO LISTEN TO ALL OF IT.

Considering the disaster of friendships, and other priorities I have in my life, I know I shall not see Trey any time ever again. 

I also know that it is not important, be cause despite ruining Trey's birthday, being very dumb Salted Wound. I can not make peace with Trey

AT LEAST LET ME FINISH THE SONG. 

Whoever finds the complete version of " Joy By Sweet Dreams " is my hero.

Nothing else I can do about any thing except watch the very soothing The Hollywood Squares and its Tacky Buzzer.
