Who would be your favorite cast? Say that you had to have:

One person who was consistently the center square
At most, one square filled by two or more people, such as a comedy team
At most, one more square filled by a special character, such as a puppet or someone in costume

Here's mine:

Master - Peter Marshall
Top row - Wally Cox, Rose Marie, Tony Randall
Center row - Pearl Bailey, Paul Lynde, Arte Johnson & Ruth Buzzi (as Tyrone and Gladys)
Bottom row - Charlie Weaver, Charo, Redd Foxx

Top: Nanette Fabray, Rose Marie, Foster Brooks
Center: Joan Rivers, Paul Lynde, Desmond Wilson
Bottom: Karen Valentine, Vincent Price, George Gobel

That's mostly good but I'd make a few changes. I don't remember seeing Pearl Baily on the show. I'd replace her with Karen Valentine, who I used to have a crush on. I'd also replace Arte Johnson & Ruth Buzzi, even though I loved them on Laugh-In, Hollywood Squares was not for them. I'd also replace Charo, who got to be annoying after a while. I'd say that instead I'd pick George Gobel and Totie Fields.
