Wally Cox and Dorothy Collins are pretty good at the game. I was especially surprised by Wally. A dry fruit- "Apricot." Wally- "No!" Contestant-"Prune." Ding, Ding, Ding! Got it! HA! :)
Well that didn't take long. I just figured out where I knew him from. He was the bird man on the Beverly Hillbillies who was somewhat interested in Elly Mae
I wonder if the Thom Girardi introduced as a contestant at 14:24 is the same Thom Girardi who is a famous lawyer who was played by Albert Finney in the film, “Erin Brockovich” and went on to marry Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Erika Girardi also know as Erika Jayne? The guy seen here would be about the same age as Girardi.
I would like to know why 'Stomp' is ok to use for 'Romp' yet on a previous episode 'Coveralls' was not ok for 'overalls'? both words contain part of the password. Confusing.
Just my opinion but if this were High School Wally Cox would be the type of student that someone like Alan King would pick on and/or beat up. Wally is timid and Alan is bullyish IMO.
How could Wally Cox be so terrible at "What's My Line?" and so competent at "Password"? Either it indicates some facets on how his mind works or he was told to try to be funny on WML and took it way too far.
Because ‘What's My Line’ was a difficult show for guest panelists. A bit stupid too. Regulars knew the proper questions to ask and zone in on. They had experience asking about different lines of work.
@@m.e.d.7997 I acknowledge your point and agree that WML was difficult for a guest panelist, especially ones who were making a first or second appearance. But Cox set a new low. I haven't watched him on WML recently, but he had agonizing periods where he couldn't even speak coherently to form any kind of a question. What makes his appearances even worse is that insider stories about WML have revealed that guest panelists were given tip sheets on basic questions to ask early in the round and had some practice sessions before going on the air. Later in the round, the previous answers should suggest intelligent follow-up questions.
@@loissimmons6558 I know as a Mystery guest he was hysterical. Maybe he was a last minute fill in or he refused the list and decided to ad lib it. Tony Perkins also fumbled and you could tell David Niven did too though he was hysterically funny.
he did, but the show he did it on was the daytime version, and all the B&W shows from the daytime version was lost forever. I have heard it mentioned on the daytime shows that are still around (mostly the color shows from 65-68 which is seen on Buzzr)
One of the better episodes of Password. 15 seconds on the Lighting round - very good. Once again, the partially deaf Allen Ludden is yelling in the ears of the celebrities. UGH!. {I have NO idea how Wally Cox ever got a job in front of a TV camera. 🤓}
@@kentetalman9008 Hello. Nope. Looked it up on Wikipedia after reading your post. Never saw it (it ended in 1955) and only remember him from the Hollywood Squares Game Show. Amazingly he was actually married thrice. I can only imagine they were women who wanted a Green Card. He had what is known as a "Radio Face".
Refreshing to see both celebs are humble instead if competitive
Totally agree! Nice, fun, relaxed.
I love seeing these Password shows I remember in 1965 being 5 years old. Where has time gone ?
Boy, this took me back in time. I was a junior in college. I do remember Dorothy. Wally, Mr Peepers, was the one true love of Marlon Brando.
A highly intelligent, enjoyable night of play. Cox & Collins worked well with their partners.

I loved it. More Wally Cox please! He is hysterical.
Allan Ludden gets excited when the person gets the clue and always scares the person next to him when he yells...lol
He truly would get into great, intelligent play. You could tell he was restraining himself from playing.
one of the better shows, both celebrities playing well. actually some suspense in the games.
15 second lightning round!
@Christopher Bingham The record is 12, by Lawford
@@joeambrose3260 Thinking they were easy words.
Allen says 5 seconds in the normal game, but it's not. It's about 15. I've counted it before from the seconds on TH-cam
@@joeambrose3260 NOPE! (not according to Allen and the person who adds it up). I mean, you just HEARD him say Peter Lawford did it in 15 seconds
Wally is in full Shoe-Shine-Boy mode, here.
That sounds condescending, and undeserved.
I didn't know the name Wally Cox, but as soon as I saw him, I KNEW him (I just can't place where)
Well that didn't take long. I just figured out where I knew him from. He was the bird man on the Beverly Hillbillies who was somewhat interested in Elly Mae
The spund is particullary good on this one.

I believe it is the same guy
If true exceptional info and trivia.
Well , if it’s him he sure has had a reversal of fortune !! And conscience !! 🛎
Little-known facts . Wiley Parks was Marlon Brando's best friend
I tried to shut my eyes during the episode, and I couldn’t get more than one or two on the lightning round
Carol had the benefit of two ridiculous allowed clues.

Underdog.Mr Peepers. I liked Cox on the Hwood Sqrs. He got flummoxed a couple times during LR.
You have to be of above average intelligence to enjoy Wally Cox.
@@karendeaton9297 He was clever and had a dry, subtle wit about him.
@@karendeaton9297 Yep. He was described as an intellectual comic.
After his pitiful appearance on WML, I'd say Wally pretty much redeemed himself here
He was good on WML
@@m.e.d.7997 He was AWFUL on WML! I mean it! Clueless!
YESSSSSSSS
@@enriquesanchez2001 He was very funny!
After "gun" etc., I think the next obvious clue for "Trigger" would be "Finger."
I love Dorothy "Crash" Collins!
So funny when she kissed him on the lips ! And he had only been married six months. 🙊
Yeah, but that had nothing to do with the divorce
Plenty of contestants and celebs kissed on the mouth on this show and others back then, no idea why it’s become more taboo since.
@@waldolydecker8118 Ha! Come sit by me...
@@peterschulze491 - no thanks.

So much easier than the shows that came later; i.e. no opposites allowed, much shorter response times.
How could Wally Cox be so terrible at "What's My Line?" and so competent at "Password"? Either it indicates some facets on how his mind works or he was told to try to be funny on WML and took it way too far.
Tell me about it. It's like this is his doppelganger he's so smart here!

At this point you're much better at cutting out those obnoxious GSN commercials.
The teacher cheated

You don't remember Wally as "Mr. Peepers". Wonderful!
