PASSWORD 1962-11-04 Connie Francis & Darren McGavin 

I had the best experience of seeing Connie at Warwick Musical theater. In Warwick,, RI.. She is so beautiful inside and out and when she walk through the crowd she reached out and took my hand and thanked me for coming. I will always keep that memory in my heart. I still love your music. God bless you

Delightful to see Connie Francis here.

Connie Francis is one of my favorite singers

My friend, Carol, whom I've known through work since 1993, continues to be a super intelligent person, and also a wonderful writer (the BEST), and a kind and supportive person. What a joy to see you, Carol, as a young child. In certain key respects, I'm sure you haven't changed very much since then🪐!

I just love Connie Francis! Seeing her in this unexpected video was a real treat!!

Connie did a great job!! Now if the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would just induct her!!!

Wow. Connie was a boss at this. She made it look so effortless too. Smart cookie.

Thank you to whomever uploaded this video. I've been looking for a clip of this episode for many, many years. Connie Francis' third partner was my father, Louis (not "Luis", as listed in the original post). I'm really grateful to finally get to see this!

It is so refreshing to see women dressed so feminine and respectful and have manners and charm and dignity and sophistication

Love You Connie, you Ace everything you do.

I read many of the commenters state how good Ms. Francis was at this game . Then I read that she was Salutatorian in her high school . That shows that she was intelligent and disciplined . She reminds me of the young girl who played John Travolta's young sister in Saturday Night Fever . She was loved and respected by all in that family .

If you watch enough of these shows, have you ever noticed that they re-use the words quite often?

my CONNIE can do anything - I love this lady!🤩😍

Connie had such a sweet unique voice.

This is such a great clip! Darren McGavin was quite naturally funny.

I love the expression on the little boy's face when told he'll be receiving a 20-volume set of the The Word Book Encyclopedia. (It's about at the 15:10 mark).

FANTASTICA CONNIE 😘👍

I love to see children playing the game so well.

Darren McGavin before he was Ralphie's daddy in A Christmas Story. He made that character, which made the movie become an iconic classic today.

I had no idea Connie was on Password

Connie is a very good player.

The little boy was adorable!

Beautiful Connie

OMG, the lightning round at 14:06 ?? one of the best I've ever seen on the show (adults don't usually do that well)!! It was like watching a symphony or something - wonderful!

Connie is intelligent.

Connie is just soooo cute. Leeann rimes did a great job portraying connie.. I forgot the movie.

What a beautiful lady yesterday and today❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅

The woman of this time were so beautiful, no piercing no tattoos no brandings etc...

Gary was so fun to watch. What an expressive face!

Connie was very intelligent....so stop knocking her .....

She also was not "miffed" at playing with a 10yo ....of you had taken the time to watch the whole video she was quite impressed with the young girl's intelligence!!!

Watching this on my phone while Kolchak is on my TV

Thank you great stress reliever!

Love her hair style. Thanks to spray lacquer and backcombing. She is so pretty. Great sultry, smoky voice.

Poor ole Darren - and anybody who got paired with him. Dude just wasn’t cut out for this game.

Darren McGavin was so handsome

The look on the little boy's face at 10:23 is priceless!

Fun watching Mr. McGavin think!

For "Focus" I was thinking "Clarify" (which may have worked for a first clue but most certainly for a second - At least that's what I think as an armchair Password quarterback in the 21st century LOL)

I'm watching this 60 years to the week that it first aired, Nov. 5, 2022.

In 1962, goodbye was evidently a hyphenated word!

I was thinking for a first clue on "Focus," possibly "Clarify."

the little boy seemed about as excited to get the world book encyclopedia set as a prize as he would be to get a tooth drilled

Love Darrin, such a good actor. I him in a western once with Auty Murphey. And he was very goid. Abd lived his tv show, koljack.

Gary has a great facial expression.

Amazing...grace

Connie is filming an "Aqua Net" commercial after the show! 👧

Those kids were smart!

Think this is better than the later Passwords.

Connie Francis is pretty darn cute!!!!

Darren McGavin was so lovely. Entertaining and friendly to the contestants.

I've never seen anyone get "infantry." And I've watched dozens of Password shows.🤷‍♀️

Darren seems like a nice guy!

Connie Francis is still alive 🙂

I was surprised to see connie presenting her book for every young heart because it says in her biography among my souvenirs that shd never heard of it. Also delighted to see that it's real after all because i bought a copy of it!

Whenever I see Darren McGavin, I immediately think Night Stalker...

Good job Carol.

Shell Oil was a Password sponsor. Gasoline back in 1962 was $0.31/gallon.

No-one goes home empty-handed? Well, that doesn't happen anymore!

Hmmmm... When they disallowed "Goodbye" that was the first time since binge-watching this on RU-vid I have disagreed with "the doctor."… I looked it up just now on dictionary.com and it CAN be hyphenated, but that is a second alternative to the main definition indeed, indicating it as a single word!

This is the first episode of the new rule one game per visit. This was 21 years before Darren McGavin became Peter Billingsley's father in A Christmas Story.

Though tinkle didn't mean you know what, I'm still surprised it got past the CBS sensors.

Because it’s a fun game, we will take half the earnings and just give them away to someone else!!

Ive watched this show for a while and I see they use the same words many times. Bait, nickel,

Someone should have said Grace for Amazing

The earliest tinkle joke I've seen on a game show. The Match Game would take tinkle to another level.

In the lightning round for "nickel" could have said coin and when he said "penny" he she could have simply said "higher." Alternatives could be saying "Buffalooooo" or "Woodennnnn"

This game could not be played with 9 year olds today - they wouldn't be able to read the words off the card...

Connie looks pissed-off that she has to play with a kid, and Darren at 40 still looks like a cutie-pie young boy!!!

How many people want to bet that at 10:51 Darren McGavin was thinking "Playboy……" :-) LOL!

cool

She could have gotten nickel with 5 or larger or silver. It should have been guessed--- not a hard word. They should let them go back to the words they skip if time. She had lots of time left.

Hoping one of the words was going to be 'fragile" for Darren McGavin but at least he was given the word "rifle"

Magazine is almost amazing…

Poor Darren McGavin… Connie Francis and those children turned him into a chicken dinner!!! 😂😂😂

6:35 Younger viewers may not remember the hyphen. It used to be taught in schools, but orthography changes with usage, and English today has nearly abandoned the hyphen. "Good-bye" always had a hyphen -- always -- because it is a compound word (God-be-with-ye.) Compound adjectives (rose-tinted) also require the hyphen. (I'll add, as long as I'm editing, that the World Book Encyclopedia, in those days (and even today) cost a pretty penny. The boy's prize was worth a lot more than 250 dollars. A strange reversal -- maybe the girl should have been given the Encyclopedia for having shown such skill in playing the game (just saying.)

Although it would be slightly cheating (although I think they allow it) especially after a few tries/clues, for "Amazing" may be saying "Astounding" but holding the "A"with a little smile i.e. "Aaaaaaaa (smiling) mazing!"

"It's amazing that you didn't get the word" :D :D :D clever

I'm surprised (very) that they would allow the word "Tinkle" in 1962 on national television. I wonder if it would have been allowed to use the word "Urinate"...

I was thinking for "Coconut" maybe something like "tree" then "Hawaiian"… And if that didn't do it "round" and then if you had to add milk after that…

Connie's hair looks like Mrs Jetson.

By 1962 nobody was hyphenating goodbye--except maybe in Britain, like they hyphenated to-day.

I rarely call out the judges on this game, but I looked up "goodbye" in both Miriam Webster's AND Cambridge dictionary (!) and they both indicate no hyphens at all for that word. Also, watch this: I'm using speech to text to make this comment and of course here is "… Goodbye" now check this out: "Cross-check" (what happened there is my grammar checker underlined the word and instructed that I add the hyphen - and that did not occur with "goodbye"). Maybe back then it was hyphenated? But I wouldn't be surprised if that's 1 of the rare times that the good doctor was wrong.

LOL, I was six months old .

I like that they play with kids. Do they do that periodically?

gary so cute!

Scoop neck dresses must have been the style then.

Connie's hair.

I don't know any of connies music, except for a tune called lipstick on your collar, as for Mr mcgavin I remember him mostly from the night stalker series several years removed from this show. After all that stumbling trying to figure out amazing I'd use the word absolutely because they go together like peas and carrots

10:50 We know exactly which magazine he was thinking of.😂

That kid really wanted the encyclopedias!!!

03:17 “Master”

Dr. REASON (!) A. Goodman???!!?? Sounds like a character Groucho would use!

Nickel was an easy word. Coin silver and five

Tinkle? And we think TV is dirty these days.

I don't understand why goodbye would be ruled out!? It is not always a hyphenated word!

Hairstyle!

Amazing.Magazine. Lol.

How come they had a different person announcing the password? Also, while it's stupid to ask why he's whispering wouldn't there have been a way for him to announce to the people at home without the players or audience hearing them without whispering?

I bet McGavin was thinking "Esquire" ( or Playboy? :-)
