    great!

    A good host, a great center square, hilarious lines and ad-libs;what more could this show need? I think it is one of the funniest and best game shows on and never miss it. It is worth watching just to see who is on it, and I love it. Whoopi Goldberg and company make it all worthwhile.

    I cannot get enough of the show.

    This may be the third edition of the show, but it's worth watching.Whoopi is absolutely funny as the center square, it seems as if no effort is needed to make the show entertaining, Tom Bergeron is an excellent host, and it's nice to see Shadoe Stevens back in the announcer's chair.I hope this show is on well into the 21st century.

    Greatest game show on Earth!

    My favorite star of the show is Whoopi Goldberg. The way the game is played is they have various actors or actresses. Then at the end the winner teams up with a star and plays a sudden death round. Then when time is up the contestant is asked whether he/she wants to keep the money or whether they want to play for more money of course if they got there bonus question wrong they don't win anything.

    Truly one of the worst game shows ever

    Contrived jokes, poor acting, and some of the biggest morons as game contestants, this show is a perfect example of how NOT to make a game show. It is not so much a game show as a thinly disguised PR machine for both celebrity has-beens that are desperately trying to revive their career and minor celebrities that are still willing to debase themselves and lose whatever remaining shreds of human dignity they have.

    A hilarious, fun-filled thrill ride!

    This is one terrific show! Whoopi makes a great Center Square and Tom is a totally awesome host who never fails to make people laugh. Squares 98 pulls out one surprise after another, you never know what to expect next until the next joke is cracked. Definite Emmy material! It truly is hip to be Square!

    • Quotes

      Tom Bergeron: [It is the end of the main game of the show, and it is time count the number of squares each contestant earned in this round] Let's count up our squares. Now Brianna, you have two which gives you a thousand dollars and our thanks for being here on Hollywood Squares.

      [shakes hands as audience applauds skeptically and Whoopi Goldberg has a puzzled look on her face, as Brianna's podium shows that she has won another thousand dollars from a previous game]

      Tom Bergeron: You look stunned!

      [turns to other contestant]

      Tom Bergeron: Now Alan, you've added three squares to your total, that gives you...

      [off-stage crew begins yelling 'hold it!' and confusion ensues before Bergeron realizes his mistake]

      Tom Bergeron: Oh she won!

      [bursts into laughter as audience and panelists laugh and applaud]

      Tom Bergeron: I guess that Emmy nomination's shot to shit right now!
