Based on reading posts at ATGS, I have a fairly good idea of what the in-studio setup was like for the original Hollywood Squares, but for anyone who attended a taping, did the contestants have a clear view of the game board, or was it partly blocked by the platform needed for the cameras that captured shots of the board?
Regarding Gambit, was the full set ever shown on camera? It seems that in the circulating episodes, all we ever see are the host's podium, the Gambit board and the contestant area. Was the contestant area connected with the rest of the set, and at what angle was it placed in relation to the other areas?
