Man, I remember watching the Electric Company back in the mid 70's. That show was pure genius. I somerines picture somebody saying a secret word & all those game show-type sound effecrs kick in & confetti starts flying. Those were the days.

Well, as per this current week's TVG, the show will be revived and coming back to PBS in 2007. As well, DVD's of the original show start to be released near the end of the year...And as for the segment you're describing, it went like this:
"Winnie has five seconds to say this word." [word appears above her head]. "Can you say it before she does?"
Sometimes Winnie, sometimes another cast member.
If they said the word: Whoops and clanks (much like a double-showcase winner!) and confetti.
If they didn't say the word: Sounded like a weak duck quack.
Sorry to veer off topic, but Electric Company touched a nerve - that's always been one of my favorite shows.
ObGameShow: Rita Moreno appeared on the panel of some game shows.
