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...
Was Going to Comnent Upon that very Beautiful Ennunciation and Sound.. - - ...I Will.. ...but just to Agree.. It's BEAUTIFUL,!.. 😊☺️☺️☺️😊😊😊😊😊☺️😊😊☺️😊😊😊☺️☺️😊
"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.
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!!!
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.
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 RU-vid account - actually, this is my main channel - Ambient Relaxing and Healing Music is my new age music channel, which I invite you to visit :-)
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.
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 RU-vid.
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.
