Just out of curiosity, when HSq did incorporate the Storybook Squares into their daytime shows, did they continue to redo the entire set (including the contestant area & storybook entrance, like on the Saturday morning shows), or did they just do up the celebrity board?

The set was redone to look like Fantasyland at Disneyland, with a castle set for that area between the contestants and the game board that was usually blank at regular shows (but had the crawl machine and art card easels), although the contestant desks and Marshall's podium remained the same. There was also a different logo for the "Storybook Squares" shows and a different opening. Two "heralds" (probably played by Harry Friedman, Gary Johnson and/or Art Alisi, I would expect) in costume mimed playing a trumpet fanfare, and then Kenny Wiliams stepped up in a town criers' costume as "Bob and Merrill's Theme" struck, holding a piece of partchment, and said, "Hear Ye! Hear Ye! By royal decree, two families will compete for valuable treasures today on--'Storybook Squares!' And now, here is the master of the 'Storybook Squares,' Sir Peter of Marshall!" Marshall came out in standard suit and tie, one of the "heralds" would give him a hand mike, and then he introduced the celebs in their costumes. He then would say something like, "and we'll meet our families after these messages." Fade to commercial.
