Password

Love Password and watched it for years. I got the home edition and played that.

I was excited to see this new edition. It is WAY over the top! The phony, loud enthusiasm and having the audience acting hysterical over nothing totally ruins the game.

I hope because it is new that they will tweak it and make it watchable. If not, it will go the way of the dinosaurs.

I know it must have freaked producers out that there would be a show with people sitting behind a desk for an hour, but the audience can handle that without the manic energy that seems forced here. Excited people are great, but it can relax after a moment and just be a normal energy. That goes for the editing too... I was getting dizzy as the shot changed up like once every 5 seconds needlessly... just film it, doesn't have to switch so often. Finally, the show was Allan Ludden's and if it wasn't for Jimmy Fallon saying it he would have completely been cut out of mentions or tributes. I loved Betty White and I know she's fresh in our minds, but it was Allen's show and not to show him seems like the producers don't share the same love of the original as the audience does. There was also super password with Bert Convy which could also be given a nod. Tradition and keeping a steady pace aren't anti-new... it's important to keep that connection to the past and move forward. The set and love for the game is there & with a little tweaking this could be a fun new chapter.

The late Allen Ludden made the show a classic. This one is anything but. The original had just the right intensity and atmosphere. This one, like too many shows today, is way over produced. You've got Fallon acting like a 6 year old, a host who yaks too much and a screaming overly hyped up audience giving so many standing ovations that they lose their meaning. The original is still more fun to watch. Allen must be spinning in his grave.

I'm sorry password would be a fantastic show but I don't like the host .she is loud, overbearing & her voice is very grating on the nerves! Please find a better host someone who isn't so overbearing & doesn't have such a grating voice I can only watch so much of the show &then I'm done!

I liked the first season. It was fun and while they'd occasionally push the limits of the rules by adding sounds and small movements to their one word clues it was still quite challenging.

The start of the second season is just silly. All through the episode they allow the contestants to add movement and sound effects to their clues. The clue for "Buzz" was "Beezzzzzzzzz" with a distinct buzzing sound? The clue for "Flex" was "Muscles" and the guy literally flexed his muscles as he said it.

At that point they've removed the challenge of how do you get someone to guess a word with only a single word clue. Then they should just call it celebrities being silly. And ironically, Joe Manganiello was great at regular clues so he didn't need to add the rest in.

I realize the show is designed to be goofy but they had basic rules the first season that worked so why not stick with them on the second season?
