PASSWORD 1963-11-14 Phyllis Newman & Tony Randall

[@lucyflorey9152]

I had a TIA, a mini-stroke two years ago...this game is helping me put words back in my recent memory.

[@andreaidesalvo9738]

No

[@markgaston4416]

About 5 years ago, I went to visit a dear elderly lady in a hospital. She had suffered a stroke. I started playing Password with her, giving her one word clues. She knocked out a bunch of the words before telling me, “If I had you here all the time, I would recover fast.” So I do believe what you said about Password helping you.

Phyllis Newman was my dream date when I was a teenager! Fell in love with her when she was on To Tell the Truth. She was talented, funny and did a great imitation of another favorite of mine, Clare Booth Luce! Now 86 Phyllis is still regarded as an important and loved member of the Broadway royalty!

Randall was always clever and witty.

Amazing how the culture has changed in just 55 years, just from the standpoint of clues and answers.

[@anthonyhubert8922]

yess, so much of the terminology of the ages has a different meaning now, particularly in regards to slang and general cultural lingo

[@voicetube]

TRUE! :-)

[@FrankIsAlwaysRight]

Think about what happened 8 days after this broadcast…that…changed everything.

11 days after. JFK was murdered 11-22-63

[@claztube]

I just put together the connection between my family's good night mantra and Luden's word for the day used to envoke a positive sentiment as the show closes. Alan ends the sentiment with; '...see you tomorrow, I hope'. "I hope." The Cuban Missle Crisis of that era had my parents in our west coast township concerned for the what if... As a child when being tucked in to bed I was too young to quite understand the significance of our good night mantra that ended with the phrase, '...hope to see you tomorrow'. I have been watching these early episodes of Password as they end I have begun to notice in Alan's good night message that similar ominous thought that ends with the subtle gesture of hope for the morrow. It just now struck me seeing the date of the broadcast what he may have been alluding to and if you are not yet in your 50th year, the hope for another day may not have the same meaning to you. Even at my tender age as a five year old in 1962 most likely I didn't comprehend the peril of the existance of Russian 'nukes' being only 90 miles away from US shores. If launched, they were capable of targeting a large swath of the United States. That crisis lasted for a tense 13 days but our mantra went on for years there after and so I'll say as I close, 'Good night and may the morrow come to us unharmed.'

Tony is sharp

Our education is so behind these days. The amount of vocabulary everybody was able to understand is amazing!

There is a chemistry between Randall and Jeanette.

Neat seeing two common WML guest panelists on the show together.......

[@alanhumphrey4198]

RIP Phyllis Newman.

[@lawsonj39]

It's fun to imagine that JFK could have watched this episode--he still had a week to live.

[@deewilson3239]

I don't see any fun in that ....

[@danieldawg100]

This Game Show is fun to watch.Also,a person watching can participate IF they look away OR close their eyes and listen to each clue and try to guess the answers.

[@joeambrose3260]

Yes, I have the phone screen down and hum when they whisper the word

[@elliebellie7816]

Wow, the school teacher was amazing.

...Aristophanes..., RIDICULOUS!... almost 10 years before Password in the Odd Couple.

[@joeambrose3260]

That came to mind, I was hoping "mayonnaise" would come up and Tony would say Lincoln

Phylis Is So Cute ❤

[@danieldawg100]

In my earlier comment about this Game Show being fun to watch,and Also a person watching can participate by looking away OR closing their eyes to try and guess the clues,I forgot to mention turning the volume down for a second as to NOT hear the announcer give the clue.

[@infonut]

or you can loudly "La-La-La-La" through it.

[@infonut]

I can't believe I am the ONLY one who caught this. Turn up you volume loud and tell me you don't hear what causes Tony to shrug his shoulders: 00:13:06 That's right. 😁😁😁

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

21:19 Audience sneeze.

[@stevie68a]

There's a lot of touching between celebrities and contestants in all the episodes I've watched. Which means it was probably encouraged by the director.

[@alanhumphrey4198]

I couldn't exactly understand where they were coming from on the clues for "bundle"...

[@rufust.firefly4890]

9:56> I woulda clued Perry or James.The password is ridiculous.

Good grief. I doubt his wife was obsessing over every handshake and flirty word. It was part of their public persona. They were married for like 50 years.

[@ianhouse4620]

Go to the 6:38 mark during the first Lightning Round. 2 seconds right before the guest [Jeanette] answered "PERISCOPE", somebody from the audience [?] said the word out loud; it seemed to trigger her answer. I guess it went unnoticed.

I guess it goes without saying that the one clue missing from "Faint" is "Unconscious" :-)

There is an exact synonym for faint. She should have said “swoon”.

That last lightning round was hard to watch. Phyllis gave good clues, but the player wasn't putting it together. Plenty of time too.......

I think she should have said army, or soldier

I was waiting for her to say Korean, Battle, etc.

[@Eddie_Schantz]

One of the things that is a little confusing about this show is that on some games both contestants stay the entire show and play maybe three games. On the next show each contestant plays one games, then they have to leave. Never understood why they were not consistent one way of the other.

[@joeambrose3260]

Maybe on some days not enough showed up, they would tape 5 shows in 1 day

[@domeonce9006]

I think There was a daily daytime show with multiple contestants and a weekly night show with 2 playing multiple rounds.

[@douglaslowe5]

The daytime episodes had multiple players because 5 would be taped same day. Tapings for prime time episodes were just one.

[@Eddie_Schantz]

That makes sense. Thanks.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Having the same two contestants for the entire show ended several months before.

[@blockcl]

Did it strike anyone else as odd when the second male contestant said "We have two children and we call them David and Lisa"?

[@barbarak2836]

No, because the book and movie, "David and Lisa" was popular at around that time.
