The best TV game shows are the ones where even the viewing audience can play along as they watch at home. "Password" was the best in that category for sure. (As I watch these I'm also yelling out clues. HA! )
This was the very early days of "Password". It appears the producers/host/technical crew we're still "growing into" what the gameshow would eventually become.
I remember watching "Password" when it first premiered on television.
Password was three months old when this was first shown .
"Getting married in a joint? That's the one that bothers me." Had to pause the video I was laughing so much.
By 1980, Bill Cullen had become a top player. Funny to see him in these episodes twenty years earlier, where he is rather goofy.
I'll bet that after this show, they suggested that Alan tell the contestants to "put all the clues together." It's the whole reason the point values descend.
it was as if the contestants had no idea how to play the game and just did Freudian free association.
@@MikkoHere No wonder: Password hadn't been on for long at this point.
@@lawsonj39 makes sense.
Not one of the more stellar nights of Password game play when only one complete game with Lightning round happened!
In some of these early black & white episodes, the words are really hard.
A rare klunker.
@@lynnturman8157 The words were not hard in this game. The contestants were too stupid to put the clues together until halfway through the game.
I woulda used either tether or tie for hitch, this is one of the coolest episodes I've seen as of yet, I've never seen Bill so animated and enthusiastic. Turns out celebrate was extremely tough. I 💘 the ending, that audience member had me laughing
Great fun once gain with Mr. Ludden, television stars Miss Collins and Mr. Cullen, and the guest players! Thanks for the "originally aired" bubble.
Bill Cullen and Alan Ludden were two of the masters of broadcasting. When I was a child it was these two men and some others whose voices were the magic that convinced me that I never wanted to work. So I had a career in radio.
Bill and Alan could have done anything in radio and TV. They were that good!
Guess you missed all the episodes where A.L. yells in the Celebs ear: "YES!!! That is horrible broadcasting / speaking technique. {There was NO reason for his to do that because if the word was correct, the Bell-ringer rang the bell. A.L. was OB noxious. }
As for Bill Cullen - he may have had a good TV host /radio voice when there was a script in front of him prepared by the off-camera staffer, but he was horrid at Password.
So fun to be watching this!
I'll bet there was a production meeting after this mess! 😩
If so it woulda/shoulda been:
A.) NEVER invite these two crummy half-wit Celebs on the show ever again.
B.) Start having a screening test of potential contestants so that never again dunderheads like these two horrible contestants get near a microphone again.
Find potential contestants that actually passed English class in High School and reads an English language book or a magazine each month!
love these early ones...
I think a possible clue for "Honey" could be saying the word "Molassesss...." (In that Passwordian way, indicating that you are connecting the word with an opposite or something similar)
The contestants weren't very good........
STAR of the Price is Right?
Yep!! Price is first aired. Bill Cullens host it!
Bill Hosted Price is right from the early 50s on NBC into the mid-60s when it was bought by ABC. Meaning at one point Bill Cullen was simultaneously hosting/appearing on CBS, NBC and ABC.
After NBC cancelled it, the show was revived in 72~ by CBS, Bill was offered the position but declined due to his infirmaties, and the position was given to Bob Barker
Maybe not as a first clue… but for "Celebrate" I would certainly have said, "Accomplishment!" Why so emphatic? Because people have parties and rejoice, etc. for various reasons but a celebration to a greater or lesser degree, to my mind, is always an accomplishment of some sort. One is rejoicing… but because of some accomplishment - either accomplished by oneself or those present or the society as a whole (in the case of New Years eve, etc., celebrating the accomplishment of moving through time into the new year). Not all might agree with me, but that's my take. 🙂
I guess it would be a couple years after this ... that "Bond" (said with a British accent?) might have been a good clue for "Agent" (especially after a clue giver had given "Secret"). 🙂
I don't know who was more dense- the celebrities or the contestants .
Even from the start you can see how early Password was at this point-the intonation tricks for opposites, etc. hasn’t been established yet. Even from the first word, the perfect clue would have been “Expreeeessss” ⤴️ ....and would have been an immediate giveaway
We're 533d TSA ars
These contestants were kinda dense.
I was wondering for, "Hero," I know that when I was younger there was a term "Local Hero…" That was part of the vernacular (there was even a cool song on the radio with that title). Did the term "Local Hero" exist in 1962 as part of the vernacular/pop culture etc.? Or was that to come later? If it was extant, I might have said "Hero" as though I'm saying the 2nd part of a phrase, etc.…
The Inflation Calculator
What cost $100 in 1962 would cost $857.28 in 2019.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2019 and 1962,
they would cost you $100 and $11.78 respectively.
ARE THOSE PEOPLE FOR REAL?! WOW.... Worst episode EVER!!! I have never, EVER seen an episode before where they got down to ONE so many times!
They're soooo stupid.
Early shows the guest just didn't know how to add up the clues!!!! Also, these guests were less than cover people!!! LOL
Box of rocks. Both the Celebs and the contestants. 🤪 😴
My almost 11-year-old Granddaughter would have been a better contestant than the two halfwits on this episode. She actually reads books, unlike the contestants or the Celebs on this episode.
I agree that this was not at all a good game, but some of the words were difficult, and this is a very early episode, the general idea of the game was not yet well known.
A.L. explained the "general idea" of the program at the very beginning. The Celebs and the contestants were half-wits.
{[ For examples of good players: Watch one of the episodes with Ava Gabor (Hungarian was her first language, not Ameri-glish. She always did better than anyone on this episode.
Watch episodes with Rita Moreno whose first language was Spanish (Puerto Rico born). Watch episodes with Paul Anka. His parents were Syrian and Lebanese. Great player! {As was Peter Lawford.}
This episode was painful to watch / listen to. Words like "Celebrate", "Guest" and "Hitch" should have figured out.
Abut. Not a word one hears very often.
Laughed they don’t know Elvis. He bumped into me and apologized, so mannerly!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Not todays crowd no Manners old fashioned 😮
Funny how the old days were always so much better than now. 😆
At about :17 minutes in after the word "sideburns" was revealed, I could have sworn I heard someone say the word out loud.
Actually, back then, they would have said the word ALOUD , which is the correct
way to say it .. =)
@@axiomist4488 RIGHT!
Another example of utter daftness by the contestants. How does a sane person equate "whiskers" with "pink" ? 🤪 🙄 General Ambrose Burnsides ( War Between the States era ) was probably the first man ( photographed anyway ) to have "Sideburns". He had a moustache and "sideburns" , but he shaved his chin area.
I would have given "Burnside" and "General" for a clue, but with the half-wit contestants, they would have probably given blank stares.
@@gusloader123 sideburns are actually named for the General in question.
@@Imamonarchist - That is what I posted: General Ambrose Burnsides. {Sideburns.}
The worse Password game I've ever seen. Normally Password is fast paced fun & educational...not this time.
*the worst
Those contestants (ESPECIALLY the femaie) don't even ACT like they putting the clues from the other team together
This Is The Nighttime Game! And These Contestants Are Playing This Whole Game For The Evening! First Team To 25 Points Wins $250 And The Chance At More With The Lightning Round! And Whoever Has The Most When Time Is Called Wins $250!
24:23 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How did Dorthy keep her dress up...meaning, her dress is a shoulder dress, and the edges did not fall down. That was more amazing than the show itself.
you: cheat hahahah funny.. :D
Ditto
worst played game EVER! Horrible clues. Also nobody followed the trail of clues. Tsk Tsk.
Definitely in the top 10 worst, both Celebs and contestants.
I wonder how the contestants were picked to be on the game in 1962? Random numbers pulled from a hat?
...here?
@23:48 Bill says 'hurry up, i think i have it" and the female guest says 'ah, shit!'
No she didn't.
Oh my! This show didn’t go so well. Speed up the evolve button.
The words were hard and some of the clues pretty bad.
Hitch, Celebrate, Bonus and Guest are NOT "hard words".
You want some "hard words" then try playing "Password" with people using the contents label of a C e n t r u m multivitamin bottle label! 🙂
The words were not hard.
Pretty bad clues for both
People not too bright!
They kept changing directions with the clues. Confusing, can't link them up, not enough time to sort them out. 🤷♀️
Worst. Contestants. Ever.
These two contestants were very stupid. Neither one put the clues together until halfway through the game.
Worst episode I ever saw.
Alan always seems unsure of himself!
Allen always seems to me to be a self-assured and competent host.
That not what Betty said
A.L. was always mugging for the camera and schmoozing with the celebs. I liked it when announcer Jack Clark filled in for him.
{And often insulting many of the guest contestants. }
Ugh! Add this to the top 20 (maybe the top 10) WORST episodes of "Password". 🥵🙁🤯.
Bad contestants. HOW did they get picked for the show?!? Maybe random ticket stub numbers drawn from the audience members?
Bob Cullen was almost as bad as contestant Bob. One time in the episode they both had a brain-awake moment: --> PW was "Cable", the clue was "Transatlantic". Other than that the episode was a waste of electricity.
Contestant Bob must have been a Junior High School dropout. The woman contestant was as sharp as a butter knife. Dorothy Collins should have taken extra "English" classes in Junior and Senior High School. uummmm and aaahhhhh and doing hand and arm movements are not words.
Password "Hitch". Clues could have been "trailer", "rail", "post", "ball", "tie" reins", "rope", "marriage", "enlistment". This was filmed in 1962 and at least 1/4 of the TV shows and many, many movies had been made (going back to the silent movies) which have horses in every episode, and at least half of the frames. When a rider got to town, he dismounts from the horse, then ties or loops the rein around the "Hitching Rail" which is upheld by the "hitching post". Easy clue, unless all they watched were "Soap Operas".
Since people in 1962 (especially showbiz people moved around quite often following the "plays", "musicals", "gigs", "auditions") it seems reasonable that they would have hooked up a trailer hitch to the "Ball" on the tow bar or the bumper to pull their travel trailer or U-Haul trailer to the next city.
Second-guessing is easier than doing it live in front of a national audience. But, yeah, these players did seem extraordinarily inept. Might have had something to do with the passwords, too; I don't think the producers had a good sense of what kinds of words work well and what kinds don't.
Was Bill Cullen just trying to show how smart he was? Bad contestant.
Bad panelist, not a contestant
They were all horrible. This is in the Top Ten worst episodes of Password.
one of the worst episodes. the contestants were really dumb
