Hollywood Squares is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Hollywood Squares takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. On September 14, 1998, a Hollywood Squares revival debuted with Tom Bergeron as its host. In addition to her production duties, Whoopi Goldberg served as the permanent center square, with series head writer Bruce Vilanch, Gilbert Gottfried, Martin Mull, and Caroline Rhea as regular panelists and Brad Garrett, Bobcat Goldthwait, Jeffrey Tambor, George Wallace, Kathy Griffin and various others as semi-regular panelists. Shadoe Stevens returned to announce, although he was not given a square on the panel as he had been when John Davidson was host. The performances from Tom Bergeron and John Moschitta Jr. Give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. Across 6 seasons (1998–2004), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The performances in Hollywood Squares do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Hollywood Squares delivers. If you have already watched Hot Ones, Hollywood Squares is a natural next step. The 6-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. Tom Bergeron carries the material with a performance that rewards close attention. Worth starting sooner rather than later.

Hollywood Squares wrapped up in 2004, created by Merrill Heatter — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
