PASSWORD 1966-10-07 Carol Burnett & Ross Martin 

Jim Vines Presents... Thank you for that information. He lead a full life.

@I've seen the Twinkie and the damage done Well, it would've sounded kinda odd -- and it wouldn't have fit the "feel" of the show -- had he spoke in a normal-toned voice. I definitely think the whisper added to the proceedings! We all remember it so...

@I've seen the Twinkie and the damage done Many thanks for those nice words!

He was our show favorite. Old Artemis Gordan. : )

What a wonderful memory!

You're forgetting Peter Lawford, who held the record for the Lightening Round, and was a very sharp Password player. He and Carol had quite the playful rivalry and appeared together on the show several times.

Yvonne Levant I LOVE his admonitions at the conclusion of the Friday episodes. It goes to show you how times have changed, how family worship was a pastime back in the day. Do you know how politically incorrect those final words would be today? In fact, Allen Ludden does not offer the same suggestions in the final moments of the Friday Password Plus editions. At least I haven’t heard them, though I could be wrong.

@@rockaway2k Sadly I haven't heard Allen's words on PW Plus either. Nowadays people enjoy slinging curse words & blasphemy everywhere, as "freedom of speech", but mention God & worship & others are embarrassed, ridiculing, or angry. : (

GenKatQltr So true. It shows you how badly our values have declined. And it is sad.

Yeah, I always looked to Allen Ludden for spiritual guidance.

That's great!! HA-HA!

Lee Vines was my dad!

That was for the nighttime version, right?

It was 100 for having the higher score at the end of time - not the win

Yeah, I agree. She did it in the previous episode as well.

yes, she was very rude to do that.... I have seen her do it to a lot of people on the show.

The RU-vid algorithm just showed me the October 5, 1966 episode under the "Ross Martin (actor)" RU-vid channel. Hope you find it, and enjoy!

Always been a fan of Cream and your drumming! ! !

Glad that Password had Diahann Carroll and Sammy Davis, Jr. as celebrity players at a time when minority inclusion was rare In fact, the shows featuring Sammy and fellow Rat Packer Peter Lawford were the absolute best-- their "rivalry" made for some of the most entertaining episodes. There was an episode featuring Lawford and it was in the months following JFK's assassination. When Lawford, JFK's brother-in-law, mentined the work he was doing with the Kennedy Library, the applause was overwhelming. You wouldn't find such unity for anything at all these days, death or no.

What whistle?

Some game shows had a whistle sound effect to stop a game due to the limit of thirty minutes, and password was one of them (usually on a Friday if neither team made it to 25 points). You’d know it was Password (lol)!

Well gee Martin. I thought everybody knew October 7th, 1966 was a Friday! You really got egg on your face with that one.

voicetube Except that the typical antonym of “Comedy” is “Tragedy” (as Ludden points out) so, whilst her intonation was impressive, the contestant's choice of word could have elicited a different response from Ross.

@@elspethcoogan1499 True

Best clue for “customer” would be “patron”.

Customer is client.

@@hollystiener16 Yes, very true;... which is basically the opposite of proprietor.

This was a tough year for Carol. She had been effectively blacklisted from the Broadway theater and moved west with her husband to try and get her own TV series. In 1966, she made many appearances on Password and The Lucy Show to earn money while waiting for a deal to come through. Happily, it did the following year.

​@@markschildberg1667, that's news to me (though I wasn't born when this episode aired) -- what caused Carol Burnett to be "blacklisted" from Broadway? I loved watching The Carol Burnett Show as a kid (I bet my Mom kept me close while watching it for all 11 seasons). 🥲☺️

@@bsteven885 Carol was in a show called Fade Out, Fade In. She injured herself and missed several performances. But then when she returned to the show, she got pregnant and left for good. The show closed shortly afterward and Broadway felt she had intentionally sabotaged the show. Right or wrong, that was the theater's attitude toward her for more than 20 years.

Hes a game show host, not a comedian. Betty White loved him.

He sometimes talked too much. And he also could be arrogant. He would even say on some episodes that when he would play the game he didn’t do very well. 🦋

@@sharksport01 He also hosted GE College Bowl.

yes ... sometimes he is condescending.

I don't think he was rude -- maybe a little rough around the edges compared to more current game show hosts, but more like a fatherly type. If you want to see some downright backward rude attitudes, watch the early 1970s version of To Tell The Truth.

lights in the studio may be too bright

@@hellomynameishello2159 Probably.

There was an older woman in my office, God, 40 years ago who, when I asked her why she was wearing sunglasses that day, replied she always did when she didn't put on her makeup. The women we see in the audience were of that "vintage".

Those 2 in the front row are great!!❤
