I've always wanted them to bring back the Big Money Lightning Round from ABC Password.

It certainly would have been easier to follow with an onscreen graphic of some sort.

Or a slide rule and a degree in Applied Mathematics.

With today's technology it's possible for a young smart person to get passwords without even watching TV.

No Pushing and No Climbing come to mind.

Very good

That's odd, as you'd think she'd say PW didn't work because "it doesn't move fast enough" for the nationwide Short Attention Span Theater we live in now (hence why the MDPW changes).  As always I respect Betty and her opinions.

As for comments, aside from the mortal sin of saying anything bad about *Betty White*, it can't be worse than Popeater, which always degenerates into a political, religious, or racial debate, with plenty of trolls in between.  No matter the topic. (Hate Miley Cyrus?  BLAME OBAMA.)

I think what Betty may have meant was MDP moved too quickly for people to follow, with the timer and such throughout the game.  In all previous versions, we'd see three, four, five, six rounds without a clock, and then the Lightning Round or Alphabetics.  I don't think that was the case here.  (In fairness, I don't think I watched a full episode start to finish.)

And I agree with Matt; I don't even read Comments sections for the most part, because they've become the haven of the bitter and the confused.  Everybody always had an opinion, but with the Internet it can be expressed instantly, without worry of being rude or hurting feelings (or even being accurate).

Ah.  If she was referring to MDPW, then I understand.  Didn't quite see if she was blaming today's public or the show itself for what made the original what it was being put in the obsolete stack.
