PASSWORD 1967-06-13 Betty White & Frank Gifford

[@ericsamuelson5656]

It's New Years Eve 2021 and I'm sad to announce that Betty White died today at age 99. She outlived everyone from The Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and everyone in the game show community now together again with her husband Allen Ludden. Thank you for entertaining us, making us laugh, and playing along. You will always be on in reruns forever. Until we meet again, RIP.

[@ramongonzalez2112]

This video also makes me think of what a wonderful household they must have had. Allen and Betty exuded “positivity.”😊

[@randysills4418]

I so wish that she could have lived to celebrate her 100th Birthday...

[@amberola1b]

The color on this old videotape is just beautiful. I'll bet it looked great on those early color TVs

[@robertsprouse9282]

They used a lot of brighter primary colors in clothing in primetime shows, and after watching black and white TVs for years, it was stimulating to the brain's eyes...

[@michaelwascom62]

This episode was mid-1960's. At that time, daytime game shows were just beginning to be broadcast in color. The producers purposely assembled sets and fashion designs that were as colorful as possible.

[@sajjadali2008]

Go betty! She's so sharp and intelligent here. A natural.

[@bhinderbinder]

A total natural. She rocked!!

[@robertsprouse9282]

Are you trying to get in her will?

[@randysills4418]

She was even very sharp at the game when she was 88 and it is on KZbin...

I love how well Betty White played “Marshmallow” in the Lightning Round. She stayed with it when most players would have become flustered when her partner kept answering incorrectly.

[@michellepost5232]

I watched this game as far back as 1966, but because I was in school I had to watch it in summer or holiday time away from school.My brothers and I watched it alot, and learned some new words too, so it was educational in that sense.Betty White was on it several times. I liked the deep voice of the man who announced each word to the TV audience.Luden was the best game host of all time.Frank Gifford was cute then, sure looks young.He just doesn't seem to be into the game.

You can tell that they adored each other.

[@sharksport01]

Frank and Allen? Yes, they did.

[@faithfulforever6331]

When these shows were made, and I remember watching them when they first came out, especially in the summer, these words were everyday words that were frequently used. People, in general, read many, many more books in those days and so everyone had a much larger vocabulary than now. Very few people read books other than the ones they are forced to read in school. Very few people read for pleasure anymore and if they do, they aren't reading the classics.

[@LL-bl8hd]

That is very true. People read a lot of texts and social media posts today but those tend to use simple everyday words and slang. People probably aren't exposed to such a wide range of vocabulary any more.

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Like frankfurter,gulf, warble👍

[@lynnturman8157]

Not only that but people don't know how to spill, when to CAPITALIZE, and how to punctuate correctly anymore?

Allen and Betty are a great duo, and seeing Betty White with hair other than white/gray feels so strange.

Betty looks like a stranger so young. It's amazing.

[@faithfulforever6331]

For scoundrel, a good clue would have been "rapscallion," which is a term that was much more common then, than now.

[@faithfulforever6331]

And a good clue for titillate would have been "enrapture."

Frank Gifford was handsome. Can't believe he made it out of pro ball with that face undamaged.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

Hyphenated words are not allowed as clues, is that right? At about 11:15 Betty's partner uses the word "top-notch". I checked a few online dictionaries and the word seems to always be hyphenated.

And, irresponsible drug taking, but not much intellectual development.. The beginning of idiocy and lemming behavior as a higher ideal, most appreciated by their rulers, not at the time, but decades later.. Overly romanticized pablum and prolonged adolescence which remains to this day.. Divorce rates began to skyrocket, out of wedlock births, selfish stupidity and we continue paying the price for this dysfunctional family destroying narcissism today.. Other than that..shoooot..

Alan's sign-off "see you tomorrow I hope" always seemed strange to me, even watching as a kid. I wonder if he worried about his mortal self much. He did die so young.

[@stanbrown32]

[@floris.927]

Why is equivalent allowed for equal? They have the same root.

[@faithfulforever6331]

Because they are two different words. Lots of words have the same root but are different words. If they are both listed in the dictionary, then they are both stand alone words, even if their meaning is the same or similar. I can see why you may not know this because very few people use dictionaries anymore.

[@floris.927]

@@faithfulforever6331 I can see why you may be confused because lots of people jump to an over-simplified conclusion just to make a personal point on the internet nowadays. But there are instances on this show when a derivative of the password was not allowed as a clue, and let’s face it, Dr. Reason A Goodwin was not a machine.

[@faithfulforever6331]

I haven't seen that in Password.

[@faithfulforever6331]

By definition, "Equal and equivalent are terms that are used frequently in mathematics. The main difference between equal and equivalent is that the term equal refers to things that are similar in all aspects, whereas the term equivalent refers to things that are similar in a particular aspect." Equivalent can mean, but does not have to mean, equal.

[@floris.927]

@@faithfulforever6331 I don’t mean that they are not two different words, but the Password rule was, insofar as we could trust Wikipedia and as I can’t recall in which episode the rules were stated in the game, an illegal clue is when part of the password is contained in the clue. I fail to see why two words of the same root didn’t qualify under that rule.

[@voicetube]

Although at first glance, one might think it wouldn't qualify, but for "Warble" (especially after the bird clues) one could proffer, "Wobble," (said - or sung - very enunciatedly, so as not to make the judges think that you're saying the word :-)
