PASSWORD 1962-09-16 Marjorie Lord & Danny Thomas

[@marycook1644]

I love that Danny got the word miracle from the clues ! Because he is a MIRACLE for so many sick children. And because of him so many cures have been discovered ! 🕊🎠

[@maudeboggins9834]

Mr. Thomas as a truly good good man. Bravo him & bless him. What a hero.

Marjorie was the mother of the actress Anne Archer

It is fascinating that these survived, since a lot of early TV was either not recorded or the recordings were destroyed pretty quickly.

[@HellenVanPattersonPatton80]

Danny was hilarious!

[@stephensangalli]

The contestants were much brighter than the two panelists. 😂😂

[@drzarkov39]

Majorie Lord played Danny William's (played by Danny Thomas)second wife on the tv sitcom "Make Room For Daddy". The first wife was played by Jean Hagen for three years, and got three Emmy nominations. Thomas didn't appreciate her leaving the show, and had her character killed off instead of just replacing the character with a different actress. It was the first character to be killed off on a family tv show.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

YES. The first season (1957-58) that Jean Hagen wasn't on the show caused the ratings to plummet, so at the end of Season 5 the new character played by Marjorie Lord was introduced.

[@donnalombardo1135]

She is the mother of actress Ann Archer who was in fatal attraction

[@alanhumphrey4198]

I didn't know that; as my mom used to say "live and learn".

[@marycook1644]

WOW ! I did not know that !!! They are both so LOVELY and poised ! Blessings from California. 🦋🦋

[@bevn362]

Made a widow by her second and third husbands, Marjorie published her memoir, "A Dance and a Hug," in 2005. She died on November 28, 2015, age 97, in Beverly Hills, California, of natural causes.

I always like how Allen Ludden occasionally looks out at the camera when it is turned on him...

[@waldolydecker8118]

His "mugging" is essential to the proceedings.

[@gusloader123]

I do NOT like it at all. A.L. usually did that as an insult to the contestant/player. He kissed up to the show-bizzies, but insulted the average Joe or Jane contestants,,,, especially if that person was a woman from a southern State.

[@519djw6]

"Comfortable" has been the password several times on this show--but no one has ever thought to give the clue "Cozy." No pun intended, but I think that would be a shoe-in.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

I was thinking the same.

[@m.e.d.7997]

Not a shoe in imo. I thought Cozy myself but then I thought I would say snug

[@voicetube]

For Hiss even as a first clue I would have said "Ssssssnake!" (with that extended S at the beginning). For a second clue (after noise) that would have cinched it.

[@lynnturman8157]

yeah, when the person giving the clues switches definitions, it usually throws the one trying to guess

[@wmalden]

I would have said “Alger”.

@@voicetube I can't imagine how you sensed any sarcasm in my comment. I only just discovered this channel and since I often watched Password back in the day, it was indeed a pleasant find. I then started noticing your constructive input (though I don't aways agree :) ) and I was drawn to them somewhat as a way to review the games, and I decided to let you know. I didn't expect a response because the majority of your comments are about 3 years old. So, there you have it! I've chosen to accept your thank-you and discard the rest :)

Marjorie Lord was the voice of Mrs. Jetson (or the daughter Judy) on "The Jetsons." I liked her alot.

[@tamarakurtz6690]

Sorry, but Marjorie Lord had nothing to do with The Jetsons. It doesn't say anywhere online that she did. Penny Singleton did Jane and Janet Waldo did Judy Jetson

[@KristaBrewer-rq7mo]

aww, now you're wanting me to watch the Jetsons!

[@voicetube]

I would say for the first word, in that singsong-y Password-y upward-lilting way to denote an opposite, the first clue should have been "Rough…" :-)

In the lightning round, I always thougt that if they have to skip a word and if there was time left after they got word number 5, they could go back and try to get the one they had to skip. But I guess it doesn't work that way.

Yeesh, Danny Thomas was a bit insufferable. You just know he thought he was the smartest guy in the room. Compare him with Joey Bishop (the next episode) who comes across more like "anyone could have guessed that."

[@m.e.d.7997]

She got comfortable

[@gusloader123]

This is one of the WORST episodes with bad celebrities. The Password "Nation" was an example of why most showbizzies should never get in front of a camera without cue cards. Miss Doofus , who forgot that she was living and working here in the States , NOT in Vodka-ville/ Hammer & Sickle land, and Mr. Dense are examples of most "Hollywooders". Clueless without cue cards. D.T. must have worn house slippers all the time because he could not figure out "Comfortable" and "Shoes". HOW did he and she ever have a TV show that got watched?!? ugh! Danny Thomas may have donated $ to a children's hospital but this episode really shows that he was egotistical and stupid and rude at the same time. Total cheating on the "Horizon" clue with his hand and the enabler ( Allen Ludden 🤥) gave him a green light. The male contestant said he was an electrical engineer working on missiles.... oy-boy 🥵 His products probably never flew straight, if they even launched at all. To be an engineer, most people had to have good grades in High School to get into College. He had very poor English language skills. He was almost as daft as the female guest who made hand gestures instead of guessing a word. The Password "Staple" was mangled badly. Save bandwidth and trash can this episode from You Tube !

[@m.e.d.7997]

Comfortable is not an easy word. Very general

[@gusloader123]

Hello. There is a book which could have helped the celebs and the contestants: A Thesaurus. {Latin for "Treasure House"} I have a Roget's and a Webster's N.W. edition. If I had applied / entered to be on a game show about WORDS, then I would spend at least a couple of days reading several pages in a Thesaurus. Garage/Yard sales and Thrift store finds make it easy on the wallet. Clues for comfortable could be ---> contented, cheerful, easy, rest, relaxed, untroubled, healthy, rested, pleased, soothed, relieved, strengthened, restored. There are several two or three-word phrases, but P-W did not allow more than one word.

@@ns342 Who are you addressing? If it was myself, well,,,, I am fine. The problem was the Producers of a game show about words allowing such twits on the air. This is "Password" not "The Price is Right" show. Some brain power is required to play and win on Password.
