PASSWORD 1962-01-16 Jayne Meadows & Jackie Cooper

[@HalkerVeil]

3AM and I'm watching all of these like it just came out.

[@marycook1644]

🎸 I have to admit, I am sorta ADDICTED. Sad about Betty White not quite making her 💯 year old PARTY 🎉. Cause I sure am enjoying her and Allen. Blessings for a wonderful New Year from California. 🦜

[@jacquelinebell6201]

Me too! I've been doing it with What's My Line and now Password. In order from the beginning.

[@kokoken1]

I just looked it up. Nighttime "Password" began on Jan. 2, 1962, so this was the third prime-time show ever.

[@kateluxor2986]

I like this early format of the game better than the later one. By sticking with the same two people, each had a chance to win at least one game. Jayne was just so good at this game! Jackie wasn't too bad either.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Yes, absolutely. This is the BEST version of the show. The latter ones really dumbed it down with the alphabetics. I would have loved to have seen Jayne go up against Peter Lawford.

[@camille213]

Look at the guests hair..love it. Dark in back blonde in front..That color style is in style now. 2019.

[@audreymai2773]

Looks odd imo, but that is just me

[@MothGirl007]

Nancy Sinatra popularized that look and then later Debbie Harry did the same.

[@troydanielboy]

Did anyone else cheer out loud when Meadows said "escort"? And the clue "gigolo"? This show has a timeless skill which is knowledge and creativity. Classic and timeless.

[@HansDelbruck53]

Chaperone would have been an excellent clue for Escort.

[@MissPerriwinkle]

jayne is marvelous fun

[@MissPerriwinkle]

AND TELEPATHIC.

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

Wow, hats off to the contestant who got "Swan"… I would've thought the next clue after "Duck" could have been "Elegant…"

[@waldolydecker8118]

exactly...how she got it with "bird" was a miracle, lol

[@XXthekingofyouXX]

1:23 - Goodness, is Jayne Meadows a giant? Or is that a short gentleman?

[@jacquelinebell6201]

I think he's short. Jane is tall but not a giant.

[@HansDelbruck53]

Hard to figure why the goobers didn't give Twain as a clue for Mark.

[@randysills4418]

Jayne Meadows was a nice lady!

[@kenbrown438]

Steve Allen was one lucky guy !!!!

[@YonatanDoron]

Thank you. Keep 'em coming!

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

That female contestant had oddball hair. Blonde at the front and top and solid black at the back.

[@sharksport01]

Watch the original Hairspray.

[@kimfuhrmann7700]

In one of the lightning rounds, Jayne gives the clue "good looking" for the word "handsome." Since when is "good looking" one word? Maybe it's just a matter of being kind to your talent or a need to let the show flow? I can't believe the editor of the World Book Dictionary missed that one.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

They play loose with the rules during the lightning round.

[@kokoken1]

M.M. is right. Since there's no competitive aspect in the lightning round, Dr. Goodwin doesn't participate, and the enforcement of rules is more relaxed.

[@itburns5756]

"Goodlooking" has been used in the English language for centuries. Shakespeare and Chaucer, et al used it. It could also be hyphenated as good-looking so that it wasn't actually two words if they allowed hyphenating.

[@justinmay3451]

They also allowed the clue "dine" for "diner." That surprised me, too.

[@Nyzackon]

I do believe it's hyphenated, yes.

[@mapleleaf0]

$500 is over $4,000 in today's dollars in 2020.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

More stuff to buy too! 😂

[@pfflyer3381]

Feel like I'm watching this from a Dumont.

[@ambientrelaxingandhealingm7552]

I never really noticed it before, but Jane Meadows has sort of a "Midatlantic" accent (popular for the time among some people).

[@mapleleaf0]

Agreed. I can really hear the accent when her sister speaks on the Honeymooners too. Of course that accent was learned.

[@clairehenderson9710]

​@@mapleleaf0 yes because English was Jayne and Audrey's second language their first was Chinese as they parents were missionaries.

[@jackbusby8601]

Never seen Jackie Cooper with a moustache before.

[@presto709]

I think it's funny that he felt he had to explain his "long hair".

[@jeprice08]

I've been waiting for this episode to show up on KZbin! What took you so long?

[@donaldleroy6502]

I haven't liked ALL of Jackie Cooper's movies from his childhood but there are a couple of 💎, very talented actor, did he ever make any movies as an adult?

[@dawnemerson3604]

Superman he was the boss to Clark and lois in the movie with Christopher reeve

[@donaldleroy6502]

@@dawnemerson3604 wow thanks, I haven't watched that since it was current, now that you've refreshed my memory I can see it now

[@arthuridis]

He was a villain in a Columbo episode 1973.

[@kevinmadden1645]

Gee, Miss Crabtree!

[@presto709]

What was she thinking when she said "cube".? That's a terrible clue for "pick". Maybe sho got confused and thought the password was "ice". Luckily Jackie got it from the previous clue.

[@judyfenske1429]

2022, Some words are not used today. Youngsters will not recognize the synonyms.

[@kathyodom5372]

Jackie Cooper played Perry White in "Superman: The Movie" in 1978.

[@itburns5756]

He also played Jackie in the Our Gang comedies...who was in love with Miss Crabtree, but Tubby kept interfering, damnit!

[@richbreimann9823]

I don't see the episode from June 9, 1964 Bobby Rydell and Zsa Zsa Gabor. :(

[@sharksport01]

You mean 1962?

[@kristabrewer9363]

My clue for "Mark" would have been Matthew

[@cinemaholic730]

I was thinking question for a clue.

[@mapleleaf0]

Those are both good. I was thinking smudge.

[@kentetalman9008]

Twain.

[@troydanielboy]

"Good looking". LOL.

[@itburns5756]

Jayne and her sister Audrey were kind of low budget celebrities but they were always truly classy.

[@tomservo56954]

Bang! Zoom! To the moon, It Burns!

[@verity3616]

They were a pair of tough broads. I can't believe Steve Allen married Jayne. She talks like a New York taxi driver. I guess that's why the Alice Kramden part fit so well for Audrey.

[@kevinmadden1645]

Audrey: Yes. Jayne: You gotta be kidding!

[@MaryAnnMsbl34]

SHE IS TALL. PLAYING JACKIE GLEASON'S WIFE SHE WAS NO SHRINKING

[@lukeheaton5336]

Her sister Audrey played Alice Kramden.

[@poetcomic1]

I can't find a picture of Dr. Reason A. Goodman ANYWHERE on the internet. Was he real?

[@MrVideovibes]
