I love Password, the classic and the home game. Caught reruns of this show on Game Show Network the other night and … yuck. It's all Bright Lights Thrilling Music Millionaire-Style, with Escalating Prizes (again, Millionaire-Style) … but, worse, it's all about timed competitions. In Password terms, it's all Lightning Round, and none of the "normal" Password where things are tensely quiet and contemplative. Yuck.
(Margie noted, correctly, that it made it a lot more like "X Dollar Pyramid". But still not as charming.)
That said, I saw the episode that this article mentions, and, yes, Rosie O'Donnell was damned good at it. #ddtb

"Million Dollar Password" just can't give Regis the energy he needs
8 p.m. Sundays on CBS Episode: June 8 Poor Regis. No matter how hard Regis Philbin tries, "Millionaire Password" won't make anyone think of the success he had hosting "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." …
Do you remember the episode of The Odd Couple where Felix and Oscar were teamed up on Password? “Aristophanes!!!”
