It's really, really wild to see this and realize that both Tony Randall and Florence Henderson had not even auditioned for the 2 roles that would make them (basically) television LEGENDS! (The Odd Couple & The Brady Bunch)
Just as I had given up on Tony Randall, expecting a better vocabulary, he comes up with anopheles, a species of the dread mosquito. That restored my faith in what I expected of him on the show.
Aww, Allen had just married Betty White on 6/14/1963. When bantering with the contestant at 17:30 he then says, "he thinks all wives should think they have wonderful husbands," and Florence teases him.
My mom sold them for a while, so we got a free set. Over the course of a few years, I read every volume, cover to cover. I still have them, though I haven't opened them in decades.
Can’t help thinking of the hilarious episode of the Odd Couple where Felix/Tony Randall convinces Oscar/Jack Klugman to let him be his partner when he’s invited to be on Password.
My family is from Spokane, WA not far from Montana and my mom works with someone who went to Montana State University which is in Butte and my mom likes to call it Butt too, which annoys the co-worker who went to school there. In sports they are rivals to my moms school Eastern Washington too so thats when some of the playful name of Butt comes up between them, the week every year the football teams play each other. So Florence Henderson really reminded me of my mom here! The more things change the more they stay the same.
As a 1st word clue which might have elicited the answer for "Leader" one can try "… Follower?…" said in that Password-ian way in which a word is spoken to elicit its opposite.
This episode of the date of it, I would have been only 5 months old. Great to see Old game shows that the amount of winnings don't seem like much now, but back then $250 or $500 went quite further then than now.
@@Light-ShiftNo he wasn't. He was married to his high school sweet heart for 50 years. She died of cancer, and he remarried.... He was just making a joke when he said that. Because Allen said "no secrets". I think he was telling him to make sure he said something after he gave a clue in the lightening round.
@@elspethcoogan1499NO he was not. He was happily married to his first wife gir 50 years. Then got remarried after she died. He was only joking when he said that yo the guy.
For "Locker" at least after the 1st couple clues, maybe try for "Key?…" And if the person replies with "Lock" as an opposite, Ludden with then ask for a form of the word etc.
It's so odd to hear the women contestants always being asked what their husbands do for a living, like it was not conceivable that they had careers themselves.
Because back then, a woman's career was her husband & children, & most can not efficiently work outside the home as well, it was as it should be. But now that big business & high prices have changed that, our children run amuk. No proper looking after, for there is no ok parent. And b4 some of you say Blah to what I am saying, Being a good mom, wife & homemaker is a tough job, the men, being at work all day, have no clue.
@@madamrockford2508 The real solution would be for the modern fulltime work week to be 30 hours long and for wages to be sufficient to cover a family's needs, including child care. The problem is the exploitation of workers, not a gender war. Parents could then equally share the time outside of work caring for family and home. The labor saving technology of the modern world does not require a stay at home parent. No one is dragging the washing out to the creek to beat sheets against a rock for four hours. Frankly, the best thing you do for children now is be worldly and emotionally intelligent and lead by example. Idle, stay at home parents are a curse to the child and the community.
And if a woman is too stupid to work and earn a fair wage, then she's too stupid to be breeding.
I guess the person in charge of showing scores on the lightening round took a cigarette break. After showing the first $50 score s/he never updated the second word the contestant scored. Fortunately Alan called the correct amount of $100 upon the conclusion of the round.
@@m.e.d.7997 and people were fairly illiterate. Smokers just opened the pack, ignoring the words and puffed away. They took no responseability for their actions until they got sick them they try to sue the company. They have the warnings... PLEASE heed them or learn to live trying to breathe.
@@janeiwasduncan8463 You talk about being illiterate but can't spell correctly. The correct spelling is responsibility. People were addicted before the surgeon general came out with the warning.
Florence Henderson looks like Ian Curtis from Joy Division, ignore the hair look at the face. Didn't Tony Randall looked surprised when the nice looking dark haired lady said she was going to train to be a lawyer? Good looks often go hand in hand with smarts. Also I think he liked the dark haired guy who he whispered in his ear and said about meeting after the show........
Butt; interesting when Florences clue was “cigarette” and the contestant said “cancer” and the audience laughed. At that time, I don't believe the majority of people that that was true......?
Yes, I spotted that. I don't know if Tony said aloud meet you after the show part to cover up what he'd really said to him. I suspect Tony was gay and the other guy was that way.
@@JasmineSurrealVideos - sure he was whispering about being gay and hooking up, while on national TV in 1963....sure he was. After all, no way could he have been talking about ANY other subject than being gay. No way, right? geez, lol
Men were so condescending to women in the 60s. Lol “ what does your husband do? Do you know how to play Password.?” Duh, no I’m just a simple suburban housewife. GIVE ME A BREAK. 🤨

Nice to see the men stand when the ladies enter.
The celebrity’s of today don’t hold a match to the one’s shown on these classic game shows. They were polite, intelligent and well groomed.

Just as I had given up on Tony Randall, expecting a better vocabulary, he comes up with anopheles, a species of the dread mosquito. That restored my faith in what I expected of him on the show.
This aired on the day I graduated from high school.
Liked Florence and Tony as players.
I never had teachers that looked like Tony's first partner...
The first woman, Judy, did become an attorney, married Attorney Don Engel, and together became one of the country’s preeminent publishing law firms.
That's awesome, she was beautiful and smart.
Tony: I've tried everything respectable... "RUMP!"... 😂
Allen Ludden was always so classy
I heard when Betty White was passing away her last word and with a smile saying, "Allen"
Happy Husband
It's Mrs. Carol Brady...AKA Florence Henderson. Seen here 5 1/2 years before The Brady Bunch premiered on ABC Television Friday Nights.
Aww, Allen had just married Betty White on 6/14/1963. When bantering with the contestant at 17:30 he then says, "he thinks all wives should think they have wonderful husbands," and Florence teases him.
We had a 20-volume 1963 edition of World Book encyclopedia...
My mom sold them for a while, so we got a free set. Over the course of a few years, I read every volume, cover to cover. I still have them, though I haven't opened them in decades.
@@kentetalman9008 They have said doing that is like a college degree. And these days cheaper
It's so funny to me that they gave the losing contestants encyclopedias as a gift 😂

Love that episode!
The game seems so simple.
But it really can be difficult.
"Butt"
That was one of the funniest sequences I've seen on this show........
What was the reason for putting quotation marks on the words that appeared on screen? There was really no need for it.
Virtual hysteria over the word, "Butt." If Password were around today they'd use clues for "Butt" that then would have been thought obscene.
My family is from Spokane, WA not far from Montana and my mom works with someone who went to Montana State University which is in Butte and my mom likes to call it Butt too, which annoys the co-worker who went to school there. In sports they are rivals to my moms school Eastern Washington too so thats when some of the playful name of Butt comes up between them, the week every year the football teams play each other. So Florence Henderson really reminded me of my mom here! The more things change the more they stay the same.
Montana State is in Bozeman. Montana Technological University is in Butte.
Good on that first contestant for going to start law school! Showing that women can go on to do very intelligent professions.
Oscar angrily, "ARISTOPHANES!!"
Ridiculous!
“BUTT MONTANA!” Allen SENT ME with that one! 😂😂😂😂😂
Sounded like an adult cowboy star. 🤣
As a 1st word clue which might have elicited the answer for "Leader" one can try "… Follower?…" said in that Password-ian way in which a word is spoken to elicit its opposite.
Hedgehog and porcupine are completely different animals.
That very well may be, however they do look similar
8:40 Of course they're completely different...a hedgehog is an apple that comes off the tree - everybody knows that.
First clue: Animal. Second clue: Quills.

I wonder what Tony Randall whispered to his partner after winning the round? He then said, “I’ll see you after the show..” Hmm.. I’m intrigued!
He was gay.

Tony Randall had a great sonorous voice, but he had trouble saying "me."
Entree is part of entrance IMO.
my thoughts too.
I concur
Yeah, I thought that should have been disallowed
agreed
Tony Randall's second partner always looks like he wants to strangle him when he doesn't get the password after a clue.
3 days prior to the airing of this episode was when Allen married Betty White (June 14, 1963)......
As an opposite to "Bright" rather than "Dull" I would probably try "… Dim?……"
For "Locker" at least after the 1st couple clues, maybe try for "Key?…" And if the person replies with "Lock" as an opposite, Ludden with then ask for a form of the word etc.
Closet
Did anyone notice two words from Florence, 'Even' and 'Plume', maybe it was a prophecy of a person named Eve Plumb,
stupid
Earl,Yes, you are correct. By the way, what a nice name you have!
+Celestino Taylor f. u.
Or the band, Eve's Plum.
Here for Tony Randall.
Here for Flo Henderson
Also, I can not understand why they did use either derrière, backside or rump to get the word butt. 🤪
flo alwys had the most perfect little wigs
she so sunny and upbeat: smiles....tony the opposite, bless his heart
What makes you think that she has a wig on? That was her hairstyle.
She isnt wearing a wig.
@@marytschida5756 Women wore wigs at this time. My Mom had several wigs.
@@DR-mq1vn I was around then & wigs got popular a few years after 1963. More like the later 60's. That was her hair.
As a clue for "skyscraper," I'd be tempted to use "high-rise," but I'm not sure that term had made its way into lay usage at that point.
And they didn’t allow hyphenated words.
Hard to imagine Florence’s beauty ever being upstaged, but uh….

Because they were home taking care of their children. Raising them to be good citizens and fine members of the community.
This was a time when mothers raised their children and not the state. Don’t denigrate the value of teamwork.
Cigarette/Cancer. What an aware guy
Some of these celebrities take the long way around, to such simple words. Sleep + Furniture = Bed. Or maybe try Mattress, as a clue.
