Password

I've always loved Password and was so looking forward to the revival of this game show. Mr Ludden would give it a thumbs down and a frowning emoji. It is over-the-top celebration (a common complaint of mine for many other recent game shows) and crass commercialization. I will likely watch it because it is more mentally stimulating than other network shows, but I wish the old format/rules were present. Tone down the chatter, the feigned excitement and product placement passwords and it will be more enjoyable. I hope the network will read these comments and that Jimmy Fallon will tone down his acting out the passwords. That's plain cheating.

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 have nothing against Keke Palmer; I think she's a great actress. That being said, her role as the host was over the top and a little distracting. I agree with another reviewer who said that everything seemed overproduced, including the audience's OOHS and AHHS. I did like John Hamm and Jimmy Fallon as guests. If they tone it down a little, the show will be better.

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 love the game of Password, but this manic, loud and obnoxious upgrade of the old show is disturbing. I loved the quietness and intensity of the original. When I saw that Jimmy Fallon was producing it, I knew it would be trouble. Keke Palmer is fine if only the whole atmosphere was not a circus.
