That Tom Poston guy is like the most even-keeled dude i've ever seen. Interacts with the guests without it coming off as insincere or some kind of charity. Wasn't creepy with the lady. Didn't ignore the dude (because he wasn't a woman) Humorous, but doesn't over play it. Doesn't rely on gimmicks to be funny like a stupid voice or crazy dress. That was like the most natural entertainer i've ever seen...
"Bo Peep" and "Peeping Tom" were such hilarious yet clever clues, haha "Voracious appetite" was great, but "sexual appetite" had me rolling! Peggy and Tom were great panelists on TTTT, so it's nice to watch them playing Password together.

This was the 8th primetime episode. The first primetime episode aired January 2, 1962. The daytime Password debuted October 2, 1961; I was two years old at the time.
Definitely, by a country mile. I'm shocked that the "Appetite" segment was not censored, or even erased, and a new password was given. I am not offended by the segment, but there was the possibility that a lot of viewers in 1962 could have been offended by it. Nonetheless, that segment was HILARIOUS!!!
To my knowledge, this is the first-ever, "prime-time" episode of "Password" that was ever taped for airing on CBS. This was a pretty wild start, to one of the greatest game shows in American television history.
"Password" was on and off, and back on again, for over three decades, in various formats, on all three national TV networks at the time, between 1961(daytime) and 1989. It was the only game show that has ever reached that milestone, and probably will never be matched. It aired on CBS from 1961 to 1967. It aired on ABC from 1971 to 1975. It aired on NBC from 1979 to 1982, and 1984 to 1989. "Million Dollar Password" aired on CBS from 2008 to 2009.
She was obviously referring to the Berlin wall, or so I would believe, but she said she was going to Ireland which also would get a wall....through Belfast, in the 70s (if I remember correctly).
this episode was hilarious. I was laughing myself silly. When Tom Poston left the stage after the other panelists clue "sexual" for appetite, I thought I was gonna lose it.
Tom Poston feared that the FCC was going to shut down the show, and have everyone in the production arrested. He was trying to escape, to the hilarious reaction of the crowd. He was stopped by a security guard at the side door to the studio, and was escorted back to his seat.
@@LaptopLarry330 Tom probably did not know how to respond to the word. For appetite hunger or going for the food clues would have been more the norm to get the word.
I guess obvious to most people watching, however in the lightning round for "Statue" maybe adding in "Liberty" and slowly nodding your head upward as you are imagining looking at the Statue of Liberty :-)
@@rosered103 Thanks!!! (FYI, his is my other CZcams account - actually, this is my main channel - Ambient Relaxing and Healing Music is my new age music channel, which I invite you to visit :-)
I am so glad this is on you tube, as well as other game shows.I always liked this.I was only age 2 during this ep.That army guy would've been in during peacetime, Nam war didn't start until 1965.
Thank you I am sitting in my dead neighbors chair it was her favorite) laughing and smiling I am transported... thanks for all the pure laughs great show
Carolyn was on 🔥, another great game. Actually Tom Poston was a great player as well. I like how the narrator sounds like he's having fun 😃.I also like how easily Tom conveys the clues in the 🌩 round
Tom Poston, a favorite of mine, mentions a movie he made: The Old Dark House. If you are ever able to see it, and sit through the whole thing....well, I salute you, as it is a very odd movie.
There was some episodes of “The Tonight Show”, where Jack Paar went to Berlin to tape/kinescope the shows there. Perhaps this might be what Peggy Cass is referring to on “Password”. Those “The Tonight Show” episodes in question still exist, but I am unsure if they are available for viewing here on CZcams.
It's amazing the different world we live in now. Crazy how at the word "sexual" (as a clue for appetite) and the answer "Panties"… Or even the word itself (Lingerie) drew so much probably ( at least to some degree) nervous laughter from the audience! Something tells me it wouldn't quite get that response today :-)
@@marthamagruder3698 Agreed! (FYI, I am replying from my main YT channel - my New-Age "Ambient Relaxing and Healing Music" channel is what I used to share my music with the planet :-)
During the 1950s and 1960s, when a person was signed to a TV series broadcast by the US television networks, they were contractually obligated to appear on other TV shows on the network. Most actors/actresses did not mind this, because that meant they could earn more money, and served as "free publicity" for their acting careers. In the early-1970s, when the Screen Actors' Guild went on strike for a significant pay and benefits increase, when the TV networks agreed to a new labor contract, the deal ended the "mandated TV appearances" on other shows for the network. It also ended network support of production companies' TV shows for at least a full season. It made it much harder for actors to develop their characters for TV shows, since they only had a few weeks to develop an audience. If the shows were not immediate successes, they were cancelled after only a few weeks of time. That, along with the decreasing quality of script writing, due to "political correctness" taking hold in the television industry, lead to the greatly-diminished quality of US network television programming, which continues to the present day.

Tom Poston's been so funny on this episode. He was such a clever comedian.
Peggy Cass was one of my personal favorites. She had that charisma that drew you to her. She is a talent I miss to this day.
I have no idea why but I remember Peggy Cass as being a lot more on the chubby side. She was actually on the thin side.
She was charming and loveable.

Perhaps you should watch Buzzr TV. It airs online and is nothing but game shows. Unlike GSN, Buzzr still airs the very old game shows.
And no commercials.

The guy that whispered the password laughed twice! That was hilarious! What a terrific episode!

Haha I wonder what the CBS censors felt like when they heard "sexual!"
Fell off their chairs no doubt.

Really excellent game players!
I agree
A bit of irony at ~20:42. Tom Poston would play a character on the Bob Newhart Show called "The Peeper" (aka Cliff Murdock).
Lovely Southern lady contestant.

Link to what happened on TRUTH the night before shooting of ZOTZ began....
czcams.com/video/U4-p6Zho_oI/video.html
Zots is unusual too.
I think the word is "dais", not "dias". ?
Just saw this one tonight on Buzzr :D
To Tell the Truth day😊
For statue, I'm surprised he didn't say "Liberty!"
I was surprised that no one said "monument" for statue.
Ol' Tom is all over that southern charm and can't keep his hands off her. LOL
I went to college in Dayton and currently live in Chattanooga.
That the word panties was embarrassing to say back then, says a lot about todays generation
Peggy said she was going to Europe with Jack Paar. I wonder if that was very soon, as Jack would retire from the "Tonight Show" in about a month.
I never did like Jack Paar, but I know that he was very popular at that time...
@@randysills4418 He moved to a prime time show that fall which ran until 1965.
Jack Paar appeared on an episode of "Password". Perhaps it might be available for viewing here on CZcams.
It turns out that evidence suggests that Jack Parr was bigoted to the point of it being obsessive...

Sexual. You have to appreciate the innocence and propriety of the time.

The female contestant looked like Adrienne Barbeau.
This may sound weird but Tom Poston reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld. I think it is Tom's mannerism's.
Todays clues come to mind. "busta" for "rhyme" or "snail" for "mail" etc...
Telegram and wire are virtually obsolete words in 2021.
What a great game!
Tom and Peggy defected from TTTT!

Did they pull contestants from the audience? Seems hard to believe people would make the trip all the way just for five minutes worth of time.
I liked when the players could keep playing
Proper names are not allowed as clues Bo and Tom should have been buzzed
It's funny the way that they treat words like sexual and then lingerie. Times have sure changed
Sounds like Jack Clark is announcing?
Carving for statue was not the best clue
Kind of a snobbish show, with some wonderful stars.
Zots, huh
*Zotz
Tom Posten is almost as obnoxious as Bill Cullen on this show.
That is Poston,with anO. You have low class taste!
You had to be attractive, successful, or married to someone successful to be chosen to be on the show. Prejudiced program.
