The Pluto channel is taking me back in time right now...when I worked on the yearbook, our theme for those two years revolved around entertainment. I lobbied hard to get the cover to look something like the H^2 intro, but I lost that battle. :P

It was my last two years of high school; the show was buried in Nashville by then - 5th season aired at 4:30am, season 6 aired at 1:35a. There was a stretch in 2003 when I was having a lot of health problems so I got to see a decent clip of those episodes, but most of the rest of season 5 and pretty much all of season 6 are new to me outside of a handful of episodes I picked up through trading.

I thought it would be helpful to know which upcoming episodes of Hollywood Squares had which celebrities, so I started making notes when the channel launched. And now that all of the weeks are available on demand, it became much easier to complete the list.
So here's a handy series of grids listing every set of celebrities in seasons five and six. Be surprised by some of the celebrities who did the show! Find episodes with celebrities you like! Count how many times Charo appeared! The page theoretically has dozens of uses!
For most of the grids, I just skimmed one representative episode, assuming that the layout wouldn't change during the week. I did find two exceptions to that assumption, though (a week where the cast of Reba cycled through one of the squares and a week where I'm pretty sure Henry Winkler was a last-minute substitution when Master P and/or Lil' Romeo didn't arrive to the studio on time), so if you see any others, let me know.
As the page mentions, the episode number order does not always match the airing order. Especially when it comes to the season five tournament of champions. Not only would I assume that the wild card week aired a little closer to the tournament, but during the tournament, Tom was promoting the upcoming Mother's Day week, which was taped with earlier episode numbers.

The season six tournament of champions is kinda the same way. It appears to have aired immediately after It Just Ain't Right week, as the Monday show has Friday's answers.

Wanted to check, because I remember people mentioning the big boss, Roger King, being center square for a week. However, he wasn't center on the episode I had gotten to watch on Pluto.
Turns out, that was only a Monday thing, the rest of the week (6082-6085) looked like this:
Charo/Roger King/Peterman
Gena Lee/Mull/Rondell
Judy/Dom/Phyllis
So yes, another week where Martin did do center square in season 6. Really makes the one week stick out now where he was there, but not center.

At the beginning of the Monday episode of that week, Tom explained that the show had booked the Hilton sisters, but they canceled at the last minute, so Martin Mull was brought in to replace them.
