What's your favorite version of 'Password'?


Out of "Password", "Password All-Stars", "Password Plus" & "Super Password, my favorite version would have to be "Super Password". I liked the fact that show had a progressive jackpot in the end game, whenever it wasn't won, as well as the "Cashword". I thought that Bert Convy did a great job as host because he had a great interaction with the contestants/celebrities, though he would occassionaly mess up, especially with giving away the "password". I'm glad that GSN brought that show back onto their weekday line-up, as well as putting it on for an hour on weekends because I work during the week & hopefully someday, they'll make a revival of "Password". If they do make a revival of "Password", they should make it in the "Password Plus" / "Super Password" format with having the "passwords" being part of a puzzle.

I'd have to say Password Plus was my favorite. Even though Tom Kennedy had some big shoes to fill, I thought he was a fine replacement for host when Allen Ludden could not continue.

Super Password was good and bad. The Ca$hword was my favorite part of the show and I would love it when Bert, although a good emcee, would occasionally give away the passwords or the puzzle.

The one thing I really hated was during the Super Password round, if a celebrity gave an illegal clue, the contestant could not win the jackpot (like in the Winner's Circle in Pyramid). That always ticks me off.

Bert Convy talked too much and slowed the show down. I dont care how much people win cause Im not gonna see any of it. I just wanna guess the answers.

Super Password moreso because it was more current. I dunno...watching a show with older puzzles/clues, graphics, clothing, gets annoying. Sure, Super PW had it's share of big 80s hair, but aside from that...
