I KNOW this deviates from the CBS Version, but MORE, MORE, MORE episodes of the ABC years!!! Thank you for taking me back to a special period of great game shows!!!!
Wow, talk about fixing what wasn't broken. They took a simple but entertaining format and convoluted the whole thing with extra steps that mostly detract from the game. This version of the show was a serious mess.
That started with Password All Stars. I guess for consistency reasons, they kept the qualifying round from that run, but the bonus game was new. The scoring format was made more complicated than it had to be.
By far the worst version of Password ever created. ABC just couldn’t leave well enough alone and the more they stuck their hands in it, the lower the ratings went.
The ratings were already down before Password All Stars and this version of Password. Fast Rising Young and the Restless had something to do with Password's ratings decline.
Thank you. I guess this is near the end of the original run. Was this run on an overseas base (just wondering based on the promo)? Always enjoy seeing Betty White on game shows, and with Alan. This set looks much nicer than the cheap Password Plus set.

I had no idea any of Betty's run existed. Thanks for offering this!
I had no idea this existed! This is my first time seeing this. I’m sure it was originally in color. I would love to see what colors everything was.
There are a few others from 75 in color posted on UA-cam
Wow!
Thanks for uncovering these lost shows! Very enjoyable!
Anymore please this is your life
I wonder what Paul used for “wave” that got censored.
Betty's week was March 24-28, and she said this episode was her second-to-last at 21:17 so this must be March 27th, 1975.

Thankfully with Plus, Goodson managed to figure out how to change up the Password format correctly without making things too complicated.
@@matthewkaiser76 They had to make use of the new set to avoid another set change.
@@TrickyMario7654 The Password Puzzle and Alphabetics (better Big Money Lightning Round) were the changes.
@@good03boy It's no wonder why Password Plus is my favorite version of Password.

5:22 Allen got away with one there I think, he pretty much blurted out the word.

Yes. This is an Armed Forces Radio and Television Service kinescope, very late for kinnies to be made.
@@jasonbeard4713 I wonder if any more kinescopes from Armed Forces Radio and Television Service exist .
@@twlightzone2065 Possibly. Keep searching.
My goodness! ABC canceled “Dark Shadows” for THIS???? But in December 1975 “The Edge of Night” replaced PASSWORD!
The Edge of Night replaced Showoffs. Showoffs replaced Password.
The 1971-1974 orange set episodes were better. Sad they are gone.
