How many shows were there on Sunday with NPH and Rachel Ray? Probably just this one right? So of course it was the highest rated show meeting those strict requirements.

What a silly bit of information to keep track of.

I assume this is how the current version is played also:

Quote :

"Two teams, each consisting of one celebrity player and one regular contestant, competed. The word to be conveyed (the "password") was given to one player on each team and was shown to the studio audience and home viewers. Game play alternated between the two teams. On each team, the player who was given the password gave a one-word clue from which his/her partner attempted to guess the password. If the partner failed to guess the password within the allotted five-second time limit, or if an illegal clue was given (two or more words, a hyphenated word, or any part or form of the password), play passed to the opposing team. The game continued until one of the players guessed the password correctly or until ten clues had been given. Scoring was based on the number of clues given when the password was guessed, e.g. 10 points were awarded for guessing the password on the first clue, nine points on the second clue, eight points on the third clue, etc., down to one point on the tenth and final clue. If the clue-giver said the password, the points were awarded to the opposing team. On the ABC version a limit of six clues was imposed to expedite game play, with the last clue worth five points. In addition, teams were given the option of either playing or passing control of the first clue to the opposing team. Specifically, the team that was trailing in score, or who had lost the previous game was offered the pass/play option; when the score was tied, the team that failed to get the password was awarded the pass/play option."

NPH is an awesome Password player

Rachel Ray sucks horribly

the secret word what chat and the contestant said "chit" which sounded like "shit" when you're talking really fast and NPH was like "What?! Did you just say shit?! WTF Dude?!"

it was awesome

i thought this show was interesting for the first round. then i got bored and turned it off.

newer game shows lack the rapidity of 1950s-1970s gameshows...which is ridiculous, considering the attention span of modern viewers

although my personal favorite, "match game" was slow as far as rapidity of response, it made itself up through humor and personality

i also loved "you bet your life"...the cosby version didn't take off...but that was years ago
