Great show and great to see them shown here. I have to say that Bess and Mary made up the most beautiful team I have seen on this show so far. Gorgeous, elegant and beautifully dressed. You'll never see that ever again.

[@kateluxor2986]

I like Bess and Tom is a pip! You can tell that Tom and Bess have great affection for one another and it's nice to see that. I really enjoy this and many thanks to the man behind it all!

[@terryhammond1253]

Bess was one of the most beautiful and charming women of all time...period!

[@buddybates3247]

Thank you for sharing these great episodes of "Password" 😊

[@Schlemiel-schlimazel]

Tom was so FUNNY and charming!

[@balconi89]

Bess really left Allen speechless with that "delicious" comment 😀

[@aklanpinoy6717]

Allen Ludden, you're Numero Uno in my book for hosting this show! RIP! Thank you and big respect!!!

[@TheAlibashir]

I like to watch this show cause then I look up their "upcoming" work and see if if was any good or what it did. Kinda interesting when you know the future.

[@TheRAH14]

I think it's cute how touchy-feely Bess is. :)

[@kenbrown438]

Why !!!!????

[@MrTruckerf]

It is so wonderful how much she likes people. I have never seen a celebrity *and a female at that* who loved to touch folks more.

Jim was a superb Password player; it's amazing how many times he was able to infer the correct word from some rather esoteric clues!

[@vreedlak7268]

LOL What's funny after watching a few of these old episodes is that the reuse a lot of the words.

[@MrTruckerf]

That is surprising. There is no shortage of words in the English language.

[@irontribeissues9104]

Yeah. I HATE that. It feels like a cheap trick of some kind.

Ms Myerson has a great laugh.

[@gallowsradio]

As I am watching this awesome! rerun, inevitably, it reminds me of how cool is to be a man sometimes...

[@jersgmc]

I'm a little disappointed Tom seemed to have intentionally blurted out "infatuated" when he really should've given his partner one last chance to guess the password. Other than that, a very enjoyable episode. Thanks!

[@lawsonj39]

I liked that. He knew his partner wouldn't get it anyway, and I've never seen anybody else end a word that way.

[@magnificentfailure2390]

Miss Myerson led a fascinating life. A lot of people treated her very poorly.

[@itburns5756]

I was so glad she was completely acquitted after all that scandalous nonsense.

[@waldolydecker8118]

@@itburns5756 - The scandal wasn't "nonsense" - Myerson was a NYC Commissioner who got involved in an adulterous relationship with a city sewer contractor, then befriended the Judge overseeing his legal case, then hired the Judge's daughter; the Judge then ruled favorably for the sewer contractor. Public official adultery is not "nonsense," its messy unethical behavior. True, they didn't convict her on the quid pro quo, but if she was "innocent" of everything, then so was OJ.

[@mozfonky]

She was still a foxx.

[@verity3616]

@@waldolydecker8118 You cut-and-pasted this from Wikipedia and are leaving out considerable context. Do you know how many public officials meet each other at public events? She didn't 'befriend' the judge as is implied here as if it were intentional seeking him out. She knew him before the case, during the case, and afterwards because they were both civic workers. She was acquitted of all charges. It was all just a stupid smear campaign by the gossip magazines. They resented this beautiful woman was trying to have a career.

[@waldolydecker8118]

@@verity3616- Yeah, right Mack. OJ was originally "acquitted of all charges" too, yet $5 will get you $10 that "acquittal" never did and never will mean anything to you. That's your choice. Funny how we pick and choose...if we like the person, the acquittal means everything; but if we hate the person, an acquittal from the same court process is unacceptable. Myerson committed adultery with a city contractor...that's an admitted 100% fact, not a "smear campaign." You talk with lame reasoning - she was smeared by the gossip media solely because "she was a beautiful woman trying to have a career." lol. Do you know how ridiculous you sound? Not to mention the utter inaccuracy of your claim. Your emotional like of Myerson is apparent. "She was acquitted of all charges." So was Donald Trump after not one, but TWO impeachments. Naturally, like Myerson, he never did nothing wrong. He was just a beautiful President trying to make America great again and they resented it so they launched a "stupid smear campaign." OK Mack, got it.

[@donaldleroy6502]

Believe it or not, this is my first ever look at Bess Myerson. Absolutely the finest Miss America I can think of. Also, just like Lee Merriweather, she has aged like fine wine 😊. Just before the clue spear was given, I thought of wintergreen because I do believe it is one word 😮

This was the time when people could speak their minds without fear of being cancelled.

[@MrMenefrego1]

@@davidcatasciavone1109 I didn't know that we Black folks *had* to be with White folks everywhere 24/7. Seeing that we Blacks have BET, (which is obviously a racist move to have a network dedicated solely to ANY RACE) and White folks don't, I think there is enough racism to go around. And, why are you White folks always fighting for the rights of we Blacks, don't you have your own rights to worry about? (Yes, you do!)

[@amberola1b]

Tom Poston had me rolling when he got frustrated on the password infatuated and just blurted out the word and said "he doesn't need the one point"

[@MrTruckerf]

It was a lost cause anyway.

[@stanbrown32]

"Don't worry, Tom, you do very well on To Tell the Truth."

[@jelaw55]

Bess was a beauty. Only Jewish Miss America.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

The female contestant would have been happy to have that $250 prize. Her husband was a schoolteacher, and in 1962 they earned less than $6,000 per year.

[@sharksport01]

6000. in 1962 was like 70,000 today.

[@RjBenjamin353]

Bess WAS!! Delicious!!

[@hairyscotman]

Bess Meyerson was the most beautiful lady when I was growing up....a lovely lady...

[@marycook1644]

Tom Poston when he was super serious looked like Squidward from Sponge Bob Square Pants. As I was posting this, 🐙 was the Password ! 🐠

[@rosered103]

Bess Myerson is one touchy feely gal.

[@mozfonky]

She needs some meat.

[@MartinSage]

Can’t believe Tom Poston married Susanne Plichete!

[@January.]

*Suzanne Pleshette

[@bevn362]

Poston and Pleshette had been involved romantically in 1959, when they acted together in the Broadway comedy Golden Fleecing. They remained friends for many years, but each married someone else. After they were both widowed, the deaths of their spouses brought Poston and Pleshette together again, and they married in 2001. They remained married until his death from respiratory failure in Los Angeles on April 30, 2007. She died the following year, and they are buried close to each other.

Allen had much more personality.

[@voicetube]

I think even as a first clue for "Fail," one, in that Passwordian way to denote an opposite could possibly use "Succeed……"

[@MrMenefrego1]

Bess Myerson died in 2014, she was 90.

[@AussieTVMusic]

$1100 is about $10k in today's money.

I wonder how many of the male contestants go home to angry wives with all the touch-feely with the beautiful women on the show.

Fewer than the women who go home to angry husbands.

Not at all hard to watch. In fact, it reminds me of how some of us had to watch tv back then due to poor or erratic signals. I am just thankful that we can watch these episodes after all these years. Thanks for uploading.
