1979

I finally figured out what I want to say about Password Plus.

Password Plus is electrifying.™

Comments flow ...

1979: Password Plus jive

So the three clues thus far were "table," "pockets" and something else ... maybe "game." Anyway, Loretta Swit guesses "billiards." And--ding! ding! ding!--Allen Ludden gives it to her. The secret word or whatever they call it turns out to be "pool."

OK, I get it that "billiards" and "pool" can be synonyms. But the name of the game is "Password" (well, Password Plus), as in you need a secret password to be allowed through some door. Shouldn't you have to guess the actual password--not just another word that means the same thing? The game is not called "Train of Thought."

Here's a clip from what I think must be the same week of episodes, because Jack Klugman was wearing the same hat in the episode I saw.

Incidentally, I just learned that the great Tom Kennedy, who hosted the last episodes of Password Plus, is a Louisvillian!
