Historically Reference: the day before JFK assassination. Another reason to devour Password Episodes, to realize what was happening around the same time the episode aired
Yes, you bring up a good point. I saw an old episode where the password was "president" and the clue was "Kennedy". This episode has some indirect historical significance. Depending upon the time of day the show aired, it may have been the last episode for nearly, if not more, than a week. Nearly all daytime and prime time programming was pre-empted after the assassination. I was a youngster in elementary school, but old enough to remember when the teacher read the news to the class that JFK had been shot. I got particularly upset when one boy thought it was a big joke. How little did we know at the time that the next day was just the beginning of a rebellious, turbulent, often violent decade. Some of the 1960s events I was in agreement with, others not at all. But for those of us who lived through it and remember it, they were times permanently stitched into our minds.
@donofon101 - Wrong. JFK was in San Antonio on 11-21-63. He flew to Dallas from San Antonio. One would not need to ‘fly to Dallas’ from Ft Worth - the two cities are right next to each other.
Thanks for mentioning this. I wouldn't have noticed. The Producers of Password were the same guys that eventually produced "The Price Is Right" -- Mark Goodson and Bill Todman. "The Price is Right" shoots 2 episodes per day for 3 days a week. I'm thinking the same kind of production schedule might have been used with Password? Just my educated guess.
No on Thursday 21 November 1963 JFK flew from San Antonio to Houston for a dinner celebrating the service of congressman Albert Thomas. Later that night he flew to Fort Worth. Next morning he had a speech in the car park of hotel Texas in the rain and then later a breakfast speech at the hotel. Then he had a motorcade to Carswell airforce base. He then few the very short distance from FortWorth to Dallas. This was done to make a more impressive arrival in Dallas. It also allowed airforce one to be ready for departure to Austin later in de day. JFK was to spend the weekend at the LBJ ranch before returning to Washington.This was no longer the case however. An interesting point is that to follow protocol JFK left Fort Worth in airforce one first followed by LBJ in airforce 2. Air force one had to fly laps in the air to allow airforce 2 to land in Dallas first and thus allow Johnson to greet Kennedy upon his arrival. After the assassination of Kennedy President Johnson was sworn in while airforce one was on the tarmac in Lovefield and all the dignitaries including the body of president Kennedy departed for Washington. Arrival in Andrews airforce base (Washington ) around 18:10 EST.
This episode was taped one day before President Kennedy was murdered and Governor Connely was wounded. I remember that day well. We had never heard the Elementary School Principal's voice, nor had the school intercom speaker been used before. He came on the speaker and introduced himself and said: "Kids - A very bad thing has happened today. Go home and be with your family! School is dismissed for the day, Goodbye." He did not say what had happened and we did not know. Walked home, and my Mom had the T.V. on live broadcast. [ Most TV programs were recorded back then. About the only live in 1963 was The Rose Parade on Jan. 1st.] Mom (a J.F.K. voter) did not speak for hours. Thankfully Dad came home later from work and made us a sandwich. She hated CBS News Anchor Walter Cronkite the rest of her life because he looked at the TV camera in the studio and announced the President was pronounced dead at the hospital. {She blamed the Newsman for giving the bad news which came from the E.R. doctors.} On the positive side of things (kind of): I just learned a new word from this episode, which I was happily ignorant of for decades: Bumbleshoot. { Sounds like a miss at the target range. ;-) } This episode had soooooo many missed opportunities, and stoooopid, nonsensical answers both by the Celebs and by the asleep-at-the-switch / unable-to-connect-the-dots contestants. "Equine" was a great clue for "Horse", and it got 10 points. "Transparent" was good clue for "Clear" but, nope. On what planet does it "snow" during a "Hurricane" ?!? Clue for "Taffy" could have been "Saltwater" or "Pull" --- assuming the other person had ever been to a County Fair, or an Amusement Park. The PW "Army" coulda/shoulda been an easy word. Alternate clues would have been: "Salvation" ; "Enlist" ; "Draft" ; "March".
Isn't it amazing how much the country has, and has not, changed since this time? And I agree about the word taffy. That was an odd exchange. And thank you for sharing your personal experience. It was an interesting read.
Its best to stick with one or too good close clues and drive them home repeatedly, otherwise you end up leading your teammate all over the place in the hopes he gets it. Especially with words that have multiple meanings.
The second game included the wife of a player for the New York Jets. The AFL decided to cancel their games that weekend. The NFL did not. NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle later said it was the worst decision of his career as commissioner.
What bugs me more than anything is when contestants don't listen to the clues and answers given by the opposing team. For example, it just seems people are not listening when they repeat a clue or answer already given by the other side. I can see the look of disapproval on Alan's face when that happens.
Argggh! Watching / listening to this episode is an illustration of how NOT to be a contestant(s). You cannot answer with the clue word from the other team and expect to win. :-( Were they TRYING to lose the game or win some $$? This happens on other episodes, but this particular one the contestants did verrrry poorly, especially on the Lighting Round.
This may or may not have worked, but if at all, would have worked possibly for the last 1 or 2 clues for "Army" - said in a cheeky way with a smile... "hmmm.... LEG--Y??..." Hopefully eliciting "ARM-Y!" - - Yes I know it's silly, but with all the clues proceeding I think it might have worked (especially if the clue giver separated out the syllables very distinctly (LEG and EE) with that definite nice lilt question mark at the end :-)
Is it me or did some of the contestants seem a bit dim? And Shelley isn't really great at this but Rosemary has been in the past. A little off on this one but better than her competitor!
Kate Luxor Maybe the contestants in this episode were really nervous. But I agree, they missed on some very easy words, and clues. I guess it's always harder under the bright lights, and cameras.
Watch this again and imagine that someone in power knows Lee Harvey Oswald will be watching this.... and they use the clues and the players to subtly manipulate Oswald into going through with the assassination with MK Ultra type mind control. Like at 9:45 and 10:20 the clues "inside" and "bug" to ramp up his paranoia. 13:06 "Grin" to make Oswald feel happy to "Corral" JFK in an ambush and shoot him down like a "Deer" and then "Run". Then 14:59 they bring out a Myra who looks like Marina while the other guy is in a military uniform. The first clue is "Fondle" to make Oswald paranoid and angry thinking about his wife cheating on him. Then "Clear" on screen for a long time to make him feel he is cleared to act. Then "Motor" for hit JFK while he's in the Motorcade. 23:14 the first word that pops up is Umbrella to let Oswald know when to fire the Bullet (Second clue popped up is Ballet which is close enough to bullet to trigger the thought.) There are a lot of other things a bored mind can turn into clues of a conspiracy as well like things the players say and the clues they give the one guessing the word. Anyway this was a fun and silly way for me to pass an hour.
@@gusloader123 - Nonsense dude...you are confused. He properly did that as part of their initial introductions. Once the playing started, Ludden kept the game moving.

Equine was an EXCELLENT clue for horse!
Finally, someone used the clue "Swimsuit" for Bikini.
One day before that horrible date in Dallas.
The Garry Moore Show gets its regular plug. Even when he wasn't playing the game Garry must have loved Password.

Good game Good players
Fondle has to be one of THE toughest puzzles to solve. Other than transparent, the only other clue I could think of for clear would be crystal
I could swear @11:05 Shelly said “fuck that”!!
Idents:
Fortune Cookie (8 seconds; partial)
You're A Winner! (5 seconds)
Casino (5 seconds; partial)
Rosemary was right. That first one was crazy. It was right in front of them.
I see a little of George Clooney when I see Rosemary's side view.
I see a lot of George in Rosemary. It's obvious they're closely related.
First girl Sandra was cute!! Myra was fairly good looking too...
The last day of happy times, which was 11-21-1963 before JFK was assassinated, for the next day, which was 11-22-1963.

Shelly was a good player
A bit of a weirdo, but a bright guy.
The day before J.F.K.'s assassination
Yep, and Rosemary Clooney was a friend and supporter of JFK. Must have been shattering for her the next day.
I cant even imagine
The last day before everything changed. So, so tragic.
Yes, though it may have been recorded. Still significant.
