Password is BOTH fun and hard to play when,FIRST:turn down the volume for about 5 seconds so that you can not hear the Password,and then,SECOND:close your eyes OR look away from the screen,and then listen and pay attention to each clue given.

Wish the Page Admin could get the CC options to work on this episode. Half the time I could not hear Lena Horn's clues. She needed to speak up louder. Abe Burrows mumbled also. I was surprised that a man (Abe Burrows) who was involved in theater stuff for a living did not get the P-W "Vaudeville". Lightning Round clue for "Listen" could have been "Music".

No women engineers or lawyers, nuclear physicists on this show. All secretaries.

Abe Burrows was well known in the theatrical community, Broadway and so on (note the introduction at the beginning of this episode), but Lena Horne and her singing appealed to a broader audience -- and rightly so!

This is the episode before Allen Ludden married Betty White and he seems so chipper 🥺 Jack Clark oddly isn't the announcer... punishment for giggling so much in episodes recently? Who knows.

Sometimes Lena will warm up (it takes a lot of work) sometimes she doesn't. Towards the end she relaxes a little here.

Amazing that you consider yourself a Mind Reader of what somewhat else thought. "Game face on" - What are you on? She seems to have had a cold that day. At least twice she was using the tissue paper on her nostrils. As for your typical race & ethnic stuff that liberals always wish to pollute the airwaves and soundwaves and internet with: ----> If there was a data base of Singles & Albums purchased by people's ethnicity or race, I would be willing to bet that more "White" folks bought Lena Horn records than did "Black folks". Did you see a sign at the door of the studio that excluded anyone from being in the audience? IF any of the above races/ethnicities were in the audience what difference would that have made? She and Abe Burrows were there to play a Game Show NOT to whine and cry and scream like some gender / race studies major at a high-priced university. She got $ and fame because some people liked her sound. Abe Burrows got $ because some people liked his Play writing.

Yes in later years, but not during this period and earlier. The America as you know it today with regards to some degree of equal opportunity, equal treatment, and the like did not really begin in earnest until the 1970's forward. The two events that most prominently moved it forward were the 1964 Civil RIghts Act and the 1968 assassination of MLK. The roughly 190 years prior were largely lived in codified racism and segregation with whites hogging the vast majority of the good things of mainstream America for themselves with only occasional breakthroughs and exceptions to the rule for others. Not a commentary, just the facts of how it was. Its no coincidence in these 1962, 1963 episodes no blacks are contestants or audience members - in NYC of all places, lol.

Gioveolympus ---> The people who were contestants were in the audience. IF a black person was in the audience and the producers talked to them before the taping started, they would have asked them some questions. The people that were contestants did not arrive magically down the chimney. They were interviewed before they ever got on camera. {Have you ever seen / watched Jay Leno's "Man (or woman) on the street" interviews? When he was the host of the Tonight Show after Carson retired, He would sometimes take a microphone and a camera man to the So. Cal beach fronts or on Hollywood or Sunset Boulevards in the L.A. area and ask people random things. He would ask stuff that anyone who actually graduated from Junior High School should know, and he got giggles, blank stares, wrong answers. Once during the early 2000's he showed people 8 x 10 glossy photo of a man and asked people to identify the man. One (1) person out of maybe 20 could identify the then current Vice President of the U.S.A. ---- that is sad and horrible. He then showed them a photo of a show-biz person, and several were able to identify that photo. That very thing is why the producers of programs such as "Password" do NOT randomly pick people out the audience. Too many people do NOT know their right hand from their left hand. If someone can only say very basic words or cusses at you or stares at you with a blank look when you ask them "Whose portrait is on the One Dollar bill?" Or "Name the three months that make up the Autumn season!" Then that person would be horrible as a contestant on a stage with lights and microphones and a running clock.

Saw one!

Back then they had a few choice African American artists. I hated that called us Negros. I forgot that they called us that. I wish that back then they weren't trying to be careful about their mainstream audience. Black people were just as smart. Probably smarter. None of their contestants were not African Americans back in the early 60s. It started to get more diverse much later. Probably after certain groups like NAACP complained. African Americans has to complain for them to comply. That's why so many of them in these are owning their own with pride.

They were called "Negros" because they were / are Negroid. Sometimes they were called "Colored People". 99% of them in 1963 had NEVER been to the continent of Africa and to this day I have NEVER met or worked with or been stationed with a Black guy or gal that wanted to move to Africa. Never. I refuse to use the term African-American. You are either American or not. There is Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid. If a body or skeleton is found someplace and there is not photo ID or "Dog Tags" then the Coroner / Forensic scientists list the remains according to want the race of the body / skeleton was. Some folks over the years have inter-married and that produced mixed-race children. Or the females in conquered countries/regions were sometimes raped and impregnated by invaders / attackers). Rather than being "diverse" the employers should hire people that actually work a full 8-hour shift and do not sit around and talk or disappear for 7 hours. {[ BTW - I worked for 5 some years in So. Cal at a Black owned (Husband & Wife) and black managed business for 5 years. The owner (a very dark-skinned man, as was his wife) told me one day in the office while we had some down time and nobody else was there, {I did not ask him - he just started talking / releasing some steam.) that he had "tried to be nice to the "Brothers" and "Sisters" and hired them, and almost every time it had turned into a problem". No shows, missing company vehicle for 2 or 3 days, hiding out during working hours, then clocking out - magically appearing at the end of the shift. Theft problems causing visits from County Sheriff's Deputies and Police agencies sometimes. NOT good for the Business owner.]}

@@garfieldharrison510 I did not mention "Mexicans" (South of the Border Hispanics at all. Since you brought them up, I will say this: The place that I mentioned that was owned by a Black married couple in So. Cal. --- that company had "Mexicans" aka: Californians of Mexican/Spanish descent and they were his best employees. Two were in charge of the cleaning crew (this was at a major Airport) and the Blacks hated the "Mexicans" (and vice-versa) because the Mexicans/Hispanics (Many were California-born but have Spanish surnames) worked the whole shift, but most of the Blacks would disappear for hours but they expected to be paid. The owner (A Black man) of the company appointed / promoted the 'Mex' guy to be the foreman of that crew and that really upset the blacks. He did that because the "Mex" guys & gals worked the whole shift and got the task done. There was also the "Sky Caps" / "Porters" who were almost all "Blacks" and/or Mulattos, but they were NOT a problem. They did not disappear from the work area because half of their income came from customer tips, so they stayed present and available. Newsflash: there were many, many white folks who picked fruit and worked as farm laborers for decades. I have Grandparents and Great Aunts and Great Uncles and 2nd & 3rd cousins that worked in the orchards and fields in the 1920's, 30's and 40's. They were certainly "White Folks". Obviously, you have never read the book "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck or the movie of the same name with Henry Fonda. Thousands of Farmers from the Midwest "Dust Bowl" of the 1930's lost everything they had. No rain for months, years, only winds and blowing dust from Texas, north to the Dakotas. They (whole families) loaded up what they could pack onto a car or pick-up truck and headed west to California. They (White Folks) got paid pennies a day to pick fruit and do farm labor. Save your silly Panther and Farrakhan nonsense for your next 'group session" with Maxine Waters.
