PASSWORD 1966-12-13 Elizabeth Montgomery & Jim Backus

[@gallowsradio]

I am enjoying this so much...it's like, they're all alive, and I'm watching this on live TV, on a Wednesday morning, after skipping school...

[@gallowsradio]

@Baronarx V indeed!

[@ParkerAllen2]

That's funny... you're describing such a personal experience and yet how many of us are having basically the same experience. It's nice to do a little time traveling to an era that holds some good memories.

[@foodvixen13]

Oh my sweet , lovely, timeless, intelligent and charming Liz Montgomery. I sooooo love this lady. She's fun to watch. Amazing energy.

[@scotnick59]

YES

[@garywarmee4367]

People describe her so perfectly here. Genuine charm.

[@randysills4418]

She is such a delight! I am afraid to go out because of Covid and she is excellent company! She died far too young...

[@lauraangelim719]

Elizabeth Montgomery forever!

[@thomstephens]

Such a fantastic actress and great lady! Way ahead of her time!

[@pikemeredith5604]

It's sad that Elizabeth & Jim are now gone. We like to think of these celebrities as immortal. We all know what happened to Jim in the end when he made his last appearance only briefly in the Gilligan's Island movie. He seems like such a character & a funny human being & Liz was lovely & charming. She passed from cancer in 1995. Good to see them here having a great time on this great show, never lost for a word.

[@JAF720]

I could watch Elizabeth morning, noon and night.

[@29tenshi]

I love all these stars that was a great time watching them those were the days

[@darrellsadler2848]

I Forgot How Popular and FUN and Smart this Show Was/ IS!

[@todduglow2791]

Such a sweet and beautiful woman...I can see why everyone fell in love with her on Bewitched.

[@randysills4418]

I loved that show then and I still do!

[@markh2537]

That Question: who would you invite to dinner? My vote Elizabeth Montgomery so delightful and charming…!!!

I love Elizabeth Montgomery i miss her i watch bewitched all the time

Me too. She was the most Fantastic Actress. I like her very much.

[@elvis616]

Bewitched and I dream of jeannie 😍

Everybody loves her! Noticed that 99% of the comments are about Liz Montgomery and not about the other celebrity.

Salutation is a form of salute

"Alan is a nice middle name." - Why Thank you Mr. Ludden.

[@russellschaeffler]

What a fun show!

[@malcolmmarshall5946]

Jim should've gotten buzzed for saying "salutation" for "salute"

[@kurtmorris454]

true.But that was in the lightning round. Wouldn't get away with it during game play.

[@scotnick59]

Born in 1933, Liz was 33 here.

[@mattikaki]

I loved Elizabeth as a witch and watched every episode aired here in Finland.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

Seriously... Elizabeth Montgomery... what a woman!! 😍

[@RasMajnouni]

Very intelligent and very beautiful, charming.

[@tarnsand440]

Wow...Allan is really letting both Liz and Jim use more than one clue word several gestures. With other guests he warns both will get you the 'buzzer'.

[@LearnMusclescom]

He was always more lenient during the lightening round.

[@louisaisthankful6455]

It was before folks were lawyered up and it was supposed to be fun. And although it was a nice amount of $ it wasn't BIG money when you won.

[@randysills4418]

I loved Elizabeth Montgomery! My cousin died from the same cancer! We need to all get our colonoscopies! I am late on mine due to Covid...

Also what I love about password is it teaches you a lot about the English language and how to use words❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Zapfirst]

God I just love her

[@erica-spiritualfitnessblog9181]

Oh Magoo you’ve done it again lol!! 7:06

[@ulphil08]

Elizabeth Montgomery and Betty White were both fantastic Password players

[@tarnsand440]

Elizabeth is a split image of her father Robert right down to her facial expressions gestures. I recently watched two of his movies so acutely noticed the multiple similarities.

[@rockaway2k]

Tarn Sand Yes. She looks exactly like him!

[@johnstitt3717]

Lovey and Derwood were in the audience that night.

[@connievino4226]

Love Jim. Great actor, and Elizabeth also.

[@gigilovesgod8825]

Even the famous actors at that time were nicer and humbled comparing to the Arrogant and Snobs actors from today Feb.14, 2021.

[@LancetFencing]

only women get reprimanded for using their hands. Mr Magoo literally saluted while saying salutation for the password of “salute” but liz gets disparaged for pointing

[@fredkaplan9720]

To me password was the greatest game show to ever be put on television. It also taught a person a lot. We missed Allen Ludden Elizabeth Montgomery and Jim Backus❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ellengregory8002]

When you use words like rows and fare, people are bound to interpret them as rose and fair.

[@gordonowens7794]

What happened to all these great game shows?? I remember getting home to watch "The Dating Game".

[@bobhart677]

The celebrities seem to cheat quite a bit on this show. commenting on words and using gestures. The judges let them run wild.

[@LearnMusclescom]

It is fun :)

[@frigginirishloons]

The model had a good clue with 'watering'

[@29tenshi]

She's great at this game and I love him on gillian s island as well

[@Sabbathissaturday]

Oh my goodness, I’m starring at Jim, thinking who is he?🤔🤔 I kept thinking he looked like Mike Huckabee. Then it hit me. Thirston Howell the third!!

[@ellengregory8002]

And of course Mr. Magoo. He never aged.

[@jess4metoo]

Are you kidding me...You didn’t recognize him?

[@randysills4418]

Mike Huckabee...Yuck!

[@sdne1959]

. I could just IMAGINE the nonsensical words that would have dribbled out of my mouth in trying to play the game, had I been lucky enough to get on this show back in the day.........only to then find out Liz Montgomery was my 'partner' !! BEWITCHED, indeed !! 😄 .

[@sharletteedwards4081]

Salad, pickles....I want a salad....a Bewitched salad like in the Julius Cesar salad episode!

[@davidfritz1331]

I've seen Jim Backus play Password against Liz Montgomery before with very different results. He was spectacular on this particular show.

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

The lady in pink who was a model was smart as well, they always say attractive dumb blondes, and I'm always rooting for the attractive 'dumb' blondes and love them to win. When Allen said about going back to being a teacher, I thought that was a bit like trying to pull her down a bit, do the sensible safe thing, I hope she remained a model. She was very elegant as well. Actually she reminded me of Princess Di a bit, same aqualine nose and graceful carriage. Really surprised she didn't get famous.

[@windwardhaven]

She reminded me of the actress Diana Muldaur

[@louisaisthankful6455]

I don't think Elizabeth Montgomery spoke one word in that episode.

3:57 : Did Jim let a curse word slip? 😄

[@stevenginsberg8471]

I'm surprised Jim was able to get away with "salutation" for "salute".

[@sharksport01]

How about acting like a fairy for the word ferry.

[@kurtmorris454]

But that was in the lightning round. Wouldn't get away with it during game play.

[@amandajstar]

For 'Size' I thought of 'measurements'

Elizabeth appears to be the same person as Samantha. No acting needed on Bewitched.

[@ITPalGame]

15:35 oh the modern alphabet mafia would scream at this.

[@GJ-rd7wh]

I think the makers of the show have already decided who the winner should be.

[@frigginirishloons]

Hmm...maybe measurement for size

[@lukeheaton5336]

I was thinking dimensions.

[@Tele3C]

Elizabeth♥️

[@RJS1974]

Ferry. Lmao.

[@randyking3057]

Question: If Jim Backus had hinted "Tinkerbell" and the guy said "fairy", does that count as "ferry"? (Do homonyms count?)

[@randysills4418]

Spelling doesn't count on Password

[@corriecrazy]

Randy King: Yes, it would have counted. I was yelling at the screen, "Say Tinkerbell. Say Tinkerbell". Of course, maybe then they might have answered with "Peter Pan". lol

[@kurtmorris454]

happens all the time, but an even better clue is 'Manhattan'

[@karendeaton9297]

Ludden a critical lad.

[@KQwest98]

You can hear the echo before the answer

[@voicetube]

In the lightning round, why was Jim Backus allowed to say "Part of" (clearly two words)? I think he also used more than one word in another clue(?)

[@randysills4418]

They were more lenient in the lightning rounds because they were not playing against another contestant.

[@voicetube]

@@randysills4418 my thoughts exactly.

[@RJS1974]

Notice how people were more interesting then? And they were real adults.

[@corriecrazy]

"Real adults" -- BINGO! That's what's missing these days. Too many adults act like teenagers or children, and not as responsible people. It's really quite frightening. Soon, the kids will be bringing up their parents, and I'm sure they'll do a better job of it.

[@randysills4418]

It was de'classe for Jim Backus to make that gesture with ferry...but such were the times then...

[@janishart5128]

Does everyone realize that Allen Ludden was Betty White's husband?

[@catnip824]

I'm surprised at all his veiled sexist comments. Product of the times, perhaps, but Betty White seems more progressive than that, wonder how she put up with it.

[@corriecrazy]

@@catnip824 What "veiled sexist comments"? I didn't notice any. Besides, Betty White (like her or not) has a real garbage mouth on her when given the opportunity to display it. So, no. I don't think she'd have had any trouble putting up with anyone else's comments. I imagine she'd have given as good as she got.

[@kurtmorris454]

yes I think there's a good chance everyone knows it, especially those who watch all the episodes and read the comments and see about 30 comments pointing that out in every episode.

[@3lttlbrds]

Rex Johnson was handsome!

[@sdne1959]

. 1:24 Kinda seemed strange to me that when Ludden comments to Liz Montgomery that her husband (William Asher) is a big tennis player, she seemed a bit befuddled upon hearing that.....almost as though she wasn't so sure he was.... 🤨 .

[@moboutmen]

Liz brings it.

[@sdne1959]

. Any idea what everybody suddenly started laughing at when the male contestant was telling what he does for a job ?? 18:23 .

The chick, suzie Stewart. In pink.......yeaaaahh, bay-bee!

[@gerrynightingale9045]

**I always thought (still do) that Montgomery's talent and looks were wasted on 'Bewitched'...given the opportunity, shecould've been a movie-star of the 'first-rank' instead of being a 'hack' on a completely inane TV show...when you see her in the 'Twilight Zone' episode called 'Two' (with Charles Bronson) her natural looks are stunning without all the hair and make-up shit from the 'Lana Turner' days still in-play from the late '50's.

[@tracyisbest]

She had the movie career first. Hubby Bill talked her into doing the TV show. Joke was on her as it just went on and on and on and....... Can you imagine? 254 episodes of witcheepoo. Unreal!

[@chrisn7259]

Actually, Liz got a few chances to make an impact in films, but her appeal seemed destined for the small screen. Following Bewitched she did several dramatic roles very well indeed.

[@nickmunoz7523]

I don't understand what words are acceptable clues and which ones are not - for example - male or female, or telegram or telegraph?!

[@gusloader123]

The rules were a bit vague, and sometimes were too restrictive. The word Judge (off camera) was a dictionary guy who would sound a 'buzzer" if the clue was against the rules. He did NOT ring the buzzer. A.L. - (Who claimed to have a B.A. degree in English 🤣) cancelled the win. It was NOT A.L.'s place to cancel a winner, if the word Judge did not sound the buzzer. A.L. allowed celebrities to cheat very often every year the show was on the air, especially the female celebrities. {[ I watched it with Mom when she was ironing or folding clean clothes in the early 60's.]}
