    Seems to me, this was Peppard's frustrations with his career being in a downspin, losing on a questionable ruling over "campfire" and his feeling that game shows were beneath him, plus his "holier than thou" reputation it all just boiled over. The way Allen handled that though, is why he's my favorite game show host of all time, Nothing ever really seemed to upset him on air he always handled it with class and dignity. The look Allen gives George at 4:45 is even a bit out of character for him.

    • @JMFabiano

As for the previous comment, for someone with a career in a downspin he sure had a lot of acting jobs before and after The A-Team. He even had a new show in the works when he died. It was a spin off of Matlock. The pilot was an episode called The PI

    Having seen the full week of the Elaine Joyce/George Peppard week when BUZZR reran it this past week, my assessment of Peppard's behavior is as follows:
    First taping: Sullen, smug, and of course the rant - worst day of the week.
    Second taping: Sullen, smug, but not nearly as bad as first taping
    Third taping: Aloof and detached from the proceedings; he was just there.
    Fourth taping: Pleasant, cheerful, happy to be there - even a little playful - best day of the week.
    Fifth taping: Makeout session with Elaine Joyce to open the show, bizarre rant about his smoking, being a Password freak, and watching the commercials to support NBC - second worst day of the week.
    I wouldn't say he acted like a twat all week long - he was well-behaved and fun to watch on the fourth taping - but he was certainly a ticking time bomb and a real headcase. Perhaps you should have inducted his entire appearance on Password+Plus and not just the rant about NBC Standards and Practices.

    Cyndi mentioned the Banacek cancellation at the end. We go to Wikipedia: "Banacek was well received by television critics, and as a result was picked up for a third season. However, before the third season could start, Peppard quit the show to prevent his ex-wife Elizabeth Ashley (who BTW looks stunning at age 79 today...but we digress) from receiving a larger percentage of his earnings as part of their divorce settlement. The complication ended any chance of reviving Banacek during Peppard's lifetime. A&E continued rebroadcasts of Banacek in syndication.'
    A dicque* move if there ever was one (*for our fans in Quebec...)

It happened in the first round until the time ran out since they don’t have time for round 2. And then on “Press Your Luck” where Michael Larson was the best contestant in the history of the show that sets an all-time record of $110,000 for having too many Big Bucks with only one Whammy added in the mix. It was a 2-part episode and it was only time that “Press Your Luck” was on at that time. Michael Larson was very lucky to win $110,000.

    Was George Peppard hiding out in a cave during the quiz show scandals of the 1950's? Allen Ludden explained why these game shows have to be strictly supervised. If he didn't want to be on Password Plus, he should have said so. But at least Allen Ludden kept his cool and he didn't throw George Peppard off the show.

    Another possible future induction: Tony Danza on The New $25,000 in 1983.
    Like George Peppard before him, Tony Danza ended up never getting invited to appear on another game show because of his boorish behavior when he was on The New $25,000 Pyramid.
    But unlike Mr. Peppard, Danza didn't do enough damage to cost the networks money or delay a day of shows to a 6-episode week. The Friday episode of that week of shows showed how much of a douche Tony Danza really was on there.

I have not seen this episode where Allen Ludden hosted “Password Plus” where it was the last game show he hosted until he passed away in 1981, and then Tom Kennedy took over and hosted the last season of the show. Both Allen Ludden and Tom Kennedy versions are the best. After “Password Plus” ended in 1982, it returned about two years later in 1984 as “Super Password” where Bert Convy hosted the show where it remained until 1989.

    Never thought Geo. Peppard was such a regular guy who would go on and say such things. Most celebs on game shows are so dull and doll like you can see that off camera they have no personality. Peppard went on about there being a watchdog on stage in addition to his signing documents. His "police state" comment was also very unexpected. As an actor he was never interesting and was just the good looking guy in movies like "PJ" and "Breakfast at Tiffanys". The movies had no future for him so he wound up on A Team and is remembered for that.

Personally, I find it extremely unfair to talk about facts, of which we are not aware, and above all about a person who is not alive, and who has no chance to rebut.

      I'm sorry, but you did, you talked about a dead person. Nobody is perfect in this life, but nevertheless I appreciated the GP, both as a man and as an actor, with his strengths and his faults, and his difficulties, believe me there are many people who are sorry for his disappearance . This is my opinion.

    George was right to expose the nbc estab. Ludden has a true look of horror when George attacks Luds paymasters. Priceless Ludden meltdown. I never liked him but love me some Geo Peppard.

      All he did was bitch and moan out of his own frustration of having to appear on game shows to make money after leaving Banacek. The forms are in place for a reason. It's to make sure that everyone plays fairly. If you don't like having to sign them, don't go on the fucking show in the first place.
