PASSWORD 1964-02-27 Phyllis Newman & Hugh O'Brian

[@mtnman6557]

Another great closing comment by Allen. He truly believed in "truth, freedom and the American way." Unbelievable that 30+% of our population now believes in the authoritarian way : (

[@gusloader123]

Agreed. This episode aired about 3 months after President J.F.K. (a very anti-communist President) was assassinated, and U.S.A. / U.S.S.R. tensions were very high. Did you notice the foul / sour look on Phyllis Newman's face when Ludden was taking about Radio Free Europe? Lots of commies in Hollywood and the theatre district of N.Y.C. for decades now.

Probably more like 90 percent !!

@@susanrutherford866 Let's hope not! We are definitely facing a grave danger from within though. Captured communist spy plans (released right after WWII) outlined that the only way to conquer America was from w/in, by destroying our democracy.

Yep

Hugh O'Brian is one of my favorite players!

[@domeonce9006]

Hugh was hip! said “DADDY-O”!!

"I don't know if you can say that of television" You can say a lot worse now.........

[@password5737]

thanks for the comment!

[@voicetube]

For "Crisp," after the cereal references/clues, a good clue could have been, "Riiice……" (Said in that "Password-ian" way that indicates one is leading to another word). Once the contestant hopefully would say "Crispy," Ludden would ask for a form of the word and then hopefully the contestant would say, "Crisp." :-)

[@genkatqltr8517]

Exactly!

[@wmalden]

I would give the clue “crunchy”.

[@voicetube]

@@wmalden excellent!

[@poetcomic1]

I always wanted my uncle to play this game so when they asked what he did he could say "I'm in lady's underwear'.

[@donaldleroy6502]

If Phyllis hadn't stumbled on river she could very well have been the record holder in the lightning round. Is undergarment one word? I woulda given that clue

[@MrJoeybabe25]

Remember when people said heck instead of Hell? Jeepers!

[@alanhumphrey4198]

The first lady, Sharon, was a hottie!!

[@jadenmuniz8817]

Idents: Formation (5 seconds; partial) Casino (? seconds; partial)

[@voicetube]

For "Champagne" I might have included "Bubbly" or just "Bubbles"

[@genkatqltr8517]

Right! Alcohol + bubbles

[@voicetube]

@@genkatqltr8517 right on! As a side note, alcohol + bubbles can often = fun :-)

[@lynnturman8157]

I would've said: "tha God"

[@danieldawg100]

People say AND do worse now a days on t.v.,and some viewers complain about it,YET they continue to watch the trash.Pull up a lawn chair outside and watch your garbage can,and/or watch your kitchen trash can,it's a LOT CLEANER.

[@voicetube]

For "Earth" I might have tried the clue "Terra."

[@highroyds]

Don’t know how ‘Found’ is a form of ‘Find’, I’d understand if it was ‘Finding’ or ‘Finder’

[@miyakawaso]

Why do these guest stars have such trouble with the no-gestures rule? That's the game.

[@domeonce9006]

For Gods sake someone say Riiiiiiiiiccce.....

[@alanhumphrey4198]

Hugh said "Poe"; I would have given "clock".

[@Norfolk250]

I’ll marry an actuary ... he would have his wing and me mine.

[@crumblefest]

Notice how NONE of the people are fat? Or slobs? Unlike today...

[@gallowsradio]

Phyllis Newman was cheating by staring at the passwords cards....

[@gusloader123]

Password was "Crisp", and nobody said "Rice" or "Cracker". 🤕 Another episode where the dictionary judge guy must have fallen asleep. Pray tell; how does the clue "Thermometer" NOT violate the rules for the Password "Barometer" ?!?

[@kentetalman9008]

It's a perfectly valid clue. It's not contained within the password.

[@dinacox1971]

I said good things about Buddy before I watch most of the show...it was actually not fun to watch...Buddy was far to competitive. Rather rude to contestants and everyone else.
