A pilot called Backtalk, produced by Lin Bolen.

SURPRISE PILOT

Such an awkward opening as I kept worrying the model would fall.

Thanks for posting. The contestant with the mustache looks like Tony Orlando.

The Game Show Vault put up two April Fool's episodes for the John Davidson era Hollywood Squares (the one I have the fondest memories of due to childhood).

@DaytimeFan You may enjoy this as they use Joan Rivers in a fun way.

New Hollywood Squares|Episode #040188

The channel posting Musical Chairs episodes is branching out to material from other rare games, including this amazing reel from “Everybody’s Talking.” This is ABC in 1967, when their top primetime hit was Bewitched. It’s three solid minutes of dick jokes, including allusions to BJs, cumshots, and gay anal sex. In 1967!!

And Sal Mineo, of all people, is part of the fun.

Okay, it's bugging me. Let's see how many of those stars I could name.

Barbara Eden, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Olivia de Havilland, Sal Mineo, Julie Newmar, Robert Goulet, James Mason, Ernest Borgnine, Louis Nye

Were some of those younger folks from Peyton Place?

Amazing! But what were they meant to actually be talking about?

An episode of Super Password with a wanted felon (and Audrey Landers!)

Based on the quality I am assuming this was not put in the syndication package.

Super Password : 01-11-1988

Thanks for sharing. I went and researched the backstory after you posted. Wow ! One one hand you could say he had nerve to appear on TV with his criminal history, on the other hand you could say he had lack of brains of not thinking that through clearly. I laughed when they said he showed up to collect his check and was chased down 11 flights of stairs and was found hiding in the restroom.

Thanks. I didn't know the extra details. Hiding in the bathroom like Dabney Coleman in 9 to 5...

The whole thing is another reminder of how arrogant some criminals can be.
