Well, at least that explains where Garry's extra "R" went.

Looking over the "CBS Stars" DVD (Disc 4). I saw what should be a glaring error to most of us on the menus..

Every Show in the "CBS Stars" week had a 1967 airdate attatched. (November on most of them)..The Bea Benederet-Eddie Albert Show had an "airdate" of 11-25-67. .That has to be wrong because Allen asked about season-opening episodes of Green Acres and Petticoat Junction. Miss Benederet started missing Petticoat Junction Episodes late in 1967 and probably wouldnt have been well enough to do many TV appeaances.

Daytime Password was canceled September 15, 1967..Also, on the Carole Welles-Bob Denver episode, Allen talks up Miss Welles' show "Pistols and Petticoats" which had barely premiered in Sept. 1966..In large part because of Ann Sheridan's passing, "Pistols" only lasted a season (26 episodes) and would have been off by fall 1967..Just wondering with these and the already pointed-out technical and spelling errors. How much might be wrong with this set..Though the little I've seen thus far actually looks good..

The date at the beginning of the color Passwords is the date that the tapes were edited for syndication.

They aren't the original show slates. The late 1967 slates were tacked on by the company that did the editing on the color episodes that were going to be packaged for syndication (If I recall correctly, the date given is the date the syndie [edited] tape master was created). Which to me is quite interesting, because it indicates that the syndication idea came about **very shortly** after the end of the show's network run... Of course, given the horrendous decimation of scheduled airtime that G-T had experienced in that year, it's not too surprising that they'd try whatever they could to get back up and running.

Password reruns went into almost immediate syndication. There was a blurb in the August 26. 1967 issue of TV Guide (New York Metropolitan Edition) that Channel 11 would be airing Password starting Sept. 23, 1967. This blurb appeared while the show was still on CBS, so for New Yorkers, Password was off for a only a week between CBS and WPIX.

In Chicago, WFLD (Ch. 32) carried the reruns on weeknights, right before The Honeymooners. Even though I was only ten years old, I was rolling my eyes over how poor the editing was. It was almost as if someone used a hatchet and some Scotch Tape to slap the ends together.

Seeing them again, on the DVD, I'm still in awe.

'Mad Men' fans like myself will be amused at the Johnny Carson show.

Keeping in mind this is New York in 1962, Johnny's partner is a young woman who works as a secretary at an advertising agency who also does some copywriting. Its gets stranger later on when Allen says the male celebrity on this weeks daytime 'Password' is 'Mad Men' cast member Robert Morse.

SPOILER ALERT!

I just started to watch the DVD this week. On disc one, there is an episode featuring Anne Bancroft and Robert Goulet. At the time Ms. Bancroft was best known for portraying Helen Keller's teacher Anne Sullivan in "The Miracle Worker" on stage and in the movie. Well, Bancroft and Goulet were having a tough time with the password "cozy." At the 14:50 mark in the episode, Ms. Bancroft, in desparation, uses sign language to spell "C-O-Z-Y" (!) Nobody catches it and the game goes on!

Oh, they need to bring the opposing contestant back on Milion Dollar Password to make up for this.

I have ~~watched~~ savored all 880 minutes of the collection. My conclusion: Password: Million Dollar Password:: dinner at a five-star restaurant: scarfing down a Big Mac.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I think maybe I ought to buy this DVD set. So I checked the current price at DeepDiscount--$18.21--and then at Amazon--$29.99. Elsewhere on the page, though, Amazon thought I might be interested in this: The Internet Password Manager

It's a freakin' spiral notebook.

DeepDiscount may have the lead on price, but Amazon takes the "amusing alternate item" cake.
