TRIVIA:
[•] This is Lynda's first ever appearance on "THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES", and her second on a game show after "BREAK THE BANK".
[•] GARY BURGHOFF, was Lynda's fellow bandmember on the band "THE RELATIVES" when they were on High School, but also he went on to play Alan on "THE MAN WHO WOULDN'T TELL" episode of the "THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WONDER WOMAN" series.
[•] This is the rarest of her two appearances on "THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES", since this one has not been shown on the Game Show Network, assuming this is one of the lost episodes.
[•] Celebrities were not required to give the right answers for any questions. They were briefed before each show to help them with possible bluff answers, but were hearing the actual questions for the first time when each show was taped.
[•] Host Peter Marshall had said that most of the episodes were destroyed by NBC. But a Cable TV station found 3,500 episodes (while looking for the TV series "Dark Shadows" (1966)) and were sent to Game Show Network. Episodes began airing on April 15th, 2002.
