Hollywood Squares was produced by Heatter-Quigley Productions who also produced a kids' version of an unusual weekday game show they helmed a decade earlier called Video Village. Hosted by Monty Hall (Let’s Make A Deal), Video Village Jr. aired weekday mornings over the CBS network from July 11, 1960 to June 15, 1962. It was like a walking version of Candyland or Monopoly, there was even a jail where contestants had to answer a question correctly to get sprung from. Just as on Storybook Squares, Kenny Williams served as the announcer for Video Village Jr.
On this Saturday version, youngsters played the game while the stars dressed up as famous historical figures or their famous TV counterparts - like Bob Crane who was seen as Col. Hogan (Hogan’s Heroes), Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams, or Cliff Arquette as Charlie Weaver.
On this 1976 episode of Hollywood / Storybook Squares, the stars include William Shatner (as Captain Kirk), Charo (as Lady Godiva), Roddy McDowell (as Pinocchio), Bonnie Franklin (as Goldilocks), Joan Rivers (as The Mean Old Woman In The Shoe), Rip Taylor (as George Custer), Julie McWhirter (as The Good Fairy), Doc Severinson (as The Pied Piper), and John Byner (as Long John Silver in the center square).
