Heatter-Quigley Productions was an American television production company that was launched in 1960 by two former television writers, Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley.
In 1966, they created the classic game show The Hollywood Squares, and they sold their company to Filmways.
On many of H-Q’s most popular game shows, beginning with Video Village, a key element of the game itself was magnified, in some cases to larger than life. Hollywood Squares fit into that category as it featured a gigantic tic-tac-toe board, but there was also High Rollers, which featured an extra large pair of dice, Gambit, which utilized an oversized deck of playing cards in a game of Blackjack, and the shorter-lived The Magnificent Marble Machine, which featured an enormous pinball machine.
In 1981, Quigley decided to retire and end his partnership with Merrill Heatter, just before Filmways was bought by Orion Pictures. Heatter continued going solo and produced new game shows such as: Battlestars, All-Star Blitz, Bargain Hunters, and the 1980s version of High Rollers. In 1998, Heatter leased the worldwide rights to his solo-developed game shows to King World for a limited time. That option has now expired.
MGM Television acquired the rights retained by Orion Television to the Heatter-Quigley shows. Today (with the exception of Wacky Races) (now owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment) and High Rollers (distributed by Sony Pictures Television), all of the rights to the Heatter-Quigley library are owned by MGM Television.
