Sitting here in 2021. Watching all the hugging, kissing, Closeness. I don't think we'll ever go back to that again.

[@dannyboyy8465]

It's now considered sexual assault to most people!

[@mccommas2]

The host was rather hand-sey with Wesley. Hummm.......

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

​@@dannyboyy8465Wrong. It is all about consent.

[@dannyboyy8465]

@@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet Right. If there's no consent, it's sexual assault.

The infamous "Allen Ludden lets us know how he *really* feels about Barbra-as-Dolly" episode! I had heard about it but didn't realize how funny it would be. Thanks for posting.

[@therealbrentrolland]

@14:16 Allen Ludden, the consummate gentleman emcee, gets sassy! :)

[@RepentfollowJesus]

I was surprised he got that outspoken and harsh! She must have had a personal encounter with him and said something or did something wrong. I can't imagine Allen being that way in public. Not on this level. In.private, yes.

[@donaldleroy6502]

I'll tell ya, these are so much fun to watch, I'm very thankful for these uploads, I always loved game shows from yesteryear, though I never was able to make the time to watch even half these episodes

[@angelguerra8163]

The look the woman gives her partner after she aswers " sterling" is priceless.

[@ez8546]

Wesley was the first choice as a replacement for David Cassidy when he quit The Partridge Family (Rick Springfield was another) but the powers that be scrapped the idea. I think he would have been great but the show had clearly run its course.

[@butchieblock9118]

That's funny that you mentioned that because I often thought Wesley resembled David Cassidy very much!. I was never familiar with him because I didn't watch soap operas. He certainly was a great Password plus player!!

[@mitchellries256]

You don't have to be in Los Angeles to know the Busch Gardens clue because they have that place in Tampa, Florida and Williamsburg, Virginia today.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

And had it back then in Houston, Texas as well. We had the Famous Clydesdales and the beer ,yuk. But yuk to all beer.

[@scottlareva9820]

Wesley needed to calm down during alphabetics...he freaked out the contestants.

[@yoranw4608]

Were our parents(or grandparents, depending on age) happier than us, with that sort of entertainment? *#JEALOUSofTHEpast* BTW: I love Allen Ludden's final line about *4th of July.*

[@yoranw4608]

#@Yoran W: I'll add something to my own comment: *Steve Alvarez(is it correct?) was one handsome man*

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Yes people on average were happier back then. So were kids and teenagers.

[@Sarahjanam]

​@@RepentfollowJesus unless they were minorities.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

​@@SarahjanamI knew minorities. And they were happy. Not everything has to do with race. Give it a rest.

[@Sarahjanam]

@@RepentfollowJesus listen Jesus. The minorities were without question not happy. As a Jesus follower you need to care about your fellow man, but I guess that has never changed either.

[@cinemaholic730]

I love when Susan gives the clue "Balls" then follows it up with "I don't have them" haha.

[@dahger7]

Where is Password #391. Does someone have them all?

[@aaronbruceladner1983]

At 2:41, That Illegal Clue Sound was Carried Over to SUPER PASSWORD

[@migzfuentes]

Wesley Eure was also from the game show Finders Keepers

[@VarietyinTVandVHS]

It would have been great to seen the previous episode and see a champion retired.

[@sparkleplenty5829]

Just watched the previous episode. Look it up!

[@disneydanny2]

I wonder how many times the clock malfunctioned on this show. I KNOW there was another time where it happened and the contestant still got all 10 in time.

[@Mu5096rdgh]

Wesley Eure used to play Beau on Days of our Lives. I stand corrected he did not play Bo Brady. 🙏🏻😊

[@Will-qs3ql]

I thought it was Mike Horgan and Will from land of the lost

[@donmccullen1973]

@@Will-qs3ql Wesley Eure did play Will Marshall on LotL.

[@nathanbyberg]

He was also the original host of Nickelodeon’s Finders Keepers

[@johnd8167]

It was Mike Horton that Wesley played.

[@Mu5096rdgh]

@@johnd8167 I am so sorry, you are right he did play Mike Horton and he was also on Land of the Lost! Boy, I’m getting old! 😂

[@Clearbluesky771]

She didn't need to repeat saying 'sterling'. It was very clear what she did say and that was allowing her to change her answer.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Yep all the hosts fudged a bit. Once in a while.

[@EdsterIII]

Susan Richardson is so pretty. I had a massive crush on her as a kid. The show Eight is Enough was meh, but I watched to see her. The show was ok but as a 10-12 yr old kid I liked the hot rod shows, the goofy comedies, etc. It wasn't bad, if it was I wouldn't have been there every week.

[@LogoMan7777]

Wesley Eure went on to host Finders Keepers for Nickelodeon.

[@TheChewie38]

+Greg Palmer at the time he was also in the closet

[@LogoMan7777]

That is quickly becoming a non-factor.

[@TheChewie38]

+Greg Palmer also last heard Susan Richardson has left acting and working in a nursing home

[@ellengregory8002]

I heard that he and his family were lost during the greatest earthquake ever known while on a routine expedition.

[@770WT]

@@TheChewie38 Horrible reply

[@markhannan635]

Frozen clock bonus round

[@elliebellie7816]

My college roommate way back in 1976 was Wesley Eure's cousin. Sorry but it's my one claim to fame.

[@jasonhurd4379]

Allen's epic diss of Streisand was magnificent. Thank God someone had the guts to voice an honest opinion about a 'star' that everyone kisses up to.

[@infonut]

You're just jealous and ridiculously bitter.

[@mexicanspec]

Did the contestant say she is getting married to one of her students? Did I hear that correctly?

[@meganhussey3456]

She did say that she taught adult education and he was a former student--so let's hope all was well...

[@snowflakeswonderland9675]

She did say that she taught ESL (English as Second Language) and Spanish at adult schools and colleges.

[@beetinteng1849]

Loud!

[@nextbarker2702]

The Waltons aired on CBS? I thought they were on ABC, huh, of course that was b4 my time.

[@shancharan7834]

If NBC is not allowed and Its three words, how is CBS allowed as an answer?

[@sparkleplenty5829]

Because it is the password, not a clue.

[@bananacakes8939]

where's holly

[@johnnymurphy3611]

Jill is wearing a wrap around skirt,

[@modernretroradio993]

What the hell is quinine???

[@sparkleplenty5829]

An ingredient of tonic water, in fact.

[@lisahardy9707]

No wonder Susan did not win her first partner was almost blind

[@mccommas2]

They rigged it because Wesley is prettier.

[@elliebellie7816]

NBC is three words but CBS isn't?

[@sparkleplenty5829]

Passwords can be more than one word. (CBS) Clues can be only one word.

[@michellepost1016]

Susan Richardson had pretty hair.When a player 'passes', it ruins the chance of the teammate to win.Some of the passed words are easy, too.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Yes but I have seen it work for them too. There have been several wordsxi woukd pass so the others would say the first word which won't click until I said the second word. Some just have to have 2 clues to get it.

[@Norfolk250]

"... to get 'in', though first, all who were there first got swindled, degraded, and slaughtered."

[@feudfan55]

Allen makes it clear he is no fan of Barbara Streisand.

[@jeffeastwood15]

I wonder what his beef was with her.

[@feudfan55]

Maybe he thinks she's not all that good. Maybe he didn't like her performance.

[@libertubey2199]

Or, that she just wasn't good both in and for the role. Many people thought that Carol Channing should have reprised that role in the film version, so Allen definitely was not in the minority in regards to that opinion. Also, both Allen and Betty were good friends with Carol.

[@genkatqltr737]

I almost fell out of my chair when he said all that!. Couldn't believe they didn't edit it out. Being a good friend of Carol, maybe he saw her disappointment & pain in not being chosen?

[@chrisn7259]

A talentless, bland quiz show host has a problem with a supremely talented superstar? Meow. By the way. Betty White is a huge Streisand fan.

[@garfield2439]

Wesley was just so adorable 🥰🥰😍.idk the buzzer seemed too quick imo. I feel the same about Streisand Allen

[@RepentfollowJesus]

I loved Streisand in A Star Is Born. It hits close to home for me and they just clicked. Haven't enjoyed anything else . But one or 2 songs.

[@davemattia]

Allen Ludden must have had a good reason to dislike Barbra Streisand. Today, a male flight attendant would have him cancelled for that.

[@whatno9750]

Are you serious with that comment ? Don't be afraid of social progress .

[@davemattia]

@@whatno9750 Okay, I will switch it to FLORIST instead. Ya know, folks, this guy sorts through millions of comments just to be offended, instead of staying at his level -- you know - watchin The View, getting recipes from Rachel Rae, and staying up late with a glass of cheap Yellow Tail shiraz ( that he thinks is great) to watch the Bachelorette. There is also a bizarre irony to this - but it's about my personal life and why I have such a keen perception about his fake-fuddy-duddy crap.

[@Student____2025__1]

Funny comment!

[@lisahardy9707]

At entrance Wes surprises Susan with kiss ,,,, to help maintain the mirage of being straight

[@garfield2439]

Stfu nobody cares

[@RepentfollowJesus]

I didnt want to know.

[@harperstacey9604]

Just like Rock Hudson. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@Miss_Loving]

Precious ones, Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior, is The Only WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE! Right this very moment, please confess with your mouth that you are a sinner and believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life. Believe in His death, burial and resurrection for your sins and for the sins of all human-kind and you will be saved. 🙏 In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, may Father God, our Creator bless you and keep you now and forever. In the Glorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen! ❤️

[@freddyfurrah3789]

I LOVE HOW HE CRITICIZE BIG MOUTH STREISAND.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

I'm glad he didn't like a certain big nose actress.
