Which made me go out to YouTube and find all sorts of Password clips &#8212; mostly, alas, from the &#8220;Password Plus&#8221; color era post-Allen Ludden.<\/p>\n<p>And now Mary informs me that the show is returning &#8212; kinda &#8212; as <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/primetime\/million_dollar_password\/\" target=\"_blank\">Million Dollar Password<\/a><\/em>, hosted by Regis Philbin.&nbsp;&nbsp;Alas, the&nbsp;format is changed quite a bit, it sounds like.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to a report by an audience member, each team plays four rounds and must guess as many as five words correctly in 30 seconds, receiving one point for each word. Teams alternate giving and receiving clues after each round. Celebrities will then switch with the contestants halfway through the main game. The team with the most points earns the right to play the bonus round for up to $1,000,000. In the bonus round, the player must guess a word correctly from up to three clues provided by his partner. The player must correctly guess five words out of a certain total amount of words within 90 seconds in order to win.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thus losing the whole back-and-forth clue-giving between sides is gone, which makes it a lot less interesting to my mind.
