What is scary is that John Astin is barely 50 years old here! Looks like 70. Even scarier, as of August 2021, he is still alive, outliving Patti by a huge margin. And, Betty White outlived Allen Ludden by 40 years, and counting.
+pikeman80 You're right. *I have NEVER seen such a pompous, boorish, smart ass on a game show* . The teacher was very *bright* and got almost every word with just one clue.
But he went on to win 5,000 and gave 500 to the lady he beat. Not such a bad guy. He did have an air that bugged me. TV and him weren't meant for each other.
Patty is loaded here. She's high as a kite. Even taking control of the show from Allen and he don't like you infringing on his limited domain. I believe John knew what was going down and was nervous about it.

I get *why* they’d want to implement the rule: Allen Ludden always said the players should go for the idea of the word, so he constantly warned against sound-likes and opposites. But agreed, it wasn’t a good rule.
+Ryan Bates They were when the show first started, and then they were illegal a few weeks later into the run. They became legal again when the show came back in 1984 as "Super Password."
What happened to the last 2 weeks?! And that guy had the biggest EGO I've ever SEEN! (I never liked Patty on here either. ANY time she's been on. She never shuts up!
Why was sororiry an illegal clue? Sorority is NOT an opposite of fraternity, it is associated with it - same thing but for the other gender. To me that's not the same as an opposite.

Sadly now that ended.
In the first game I was cheering for the teacher. She seemed to be such a sweetheart. The guy was a pompous ass.

i agree.
Babe Ruth lol, even before he started, his introduction turned me off. Then he started playing the game...
Yep. What a moron!
He gave a dig to John Astin sarcastically saying he was "an intimidating husband". 4:12 Complete asshole!
But he went on to win 5,000 and gave 500 to the lady he beat. Not such a bad guy. He did have an air that bugged me. TV and him weren't meant for each other.
He looks absolutely amazing to me!!❤❤❤❤
Susan Reilly was the first champion on Jim Perry's Card Sharks in 1978!
thank you for posting & rest in peace Patty Duke
Yes RIP Patty Duke
I loved this video.😍😍😍
#RIPPattyDuke!
Allen Ludden hosted Password back in 1961 right through 1975
Alan was already ill by this time.
He was diagnosed with stomach cancer early 1979 - exactly when, does not seem to be published. He was a great guy!!
If sorority was considered to be opposite of fraternity, then pedicure should be considered opposite of manicure.... ?????
Patty is loaded here. She's high as a kite. Even taking control of the show from Allen and he don't like you infringing on his limited domain.
I believe John knew what was going down and was nervous about it.
If You Remember the 60's TV show THE ADDAMS FAMILY, John Astin Played "Gomez".
Loved it and him as Gomez
John Astin could be a jazz piano player ..🎹🎵
I loved him on the Addams Family.
I never understood why Password Plus abandoned opposites.
Allen Ludden either had just been diagnosed with cancer or soon would be. Must have been having symptoms.
That would be my guess as well. My sister had the same disease, stomach cancer, and had (misunderstood) symptoms months before the diagnosis.

What was on FOX? 🤣
When John Astin and Patty Duke were married.
2:46
"Kel"?!
+Mitchell Hang (Gilblitz112) Allen thought she was moving on to "K", then realized that she had just guessed that letter, so that's why is sounded like "Kel".
Kenan. *ding ding ding*
What a nasty guy the player was.
Sad about his haughty attitude 🤐
Pride before a fall, Mark 🙄
He gave the lady he beat 500 dollars.
@@whoohooles123 If you are going to quote The Bible, quote it properly. Pride goeth before DESTRUCTION!!!
Nice to see patty duke and John Astin together. Wonder if they were still married at the time.
Yes they were Aug 5, 1972 to Nov 3, 1985.
they probably wouldn'tve been on here together if they wern't
And wow! Patty and John has been on her A LOT!
That guy Mark has quite an ego on him! 🙄
On the following episode (February 25th) Mark Draper went to the alphabetics, where he won the $5,000 and gave $500 of it to the contestant he had just defeated in the game.
@@MontgomeryMall that was nice 9f him
I think the no opposites rule is a stupid rule, I think it should have never been implicated into Password.
Sultz Z. Wolf They dropped the rule in time for Super Password; probably because too many people got screwed over.
I get *why* they’d want to implement the rule: Allen Ludden always said the players should go for the idea of the word, so he constantly warned against sound-likes and opposites. But agreed, it wasn’t a good rule.
@@robschottjr.630 iirc weren't they allowing opposites when Tom Kennedy took over for Allen?
@@robschottjr.630 They dropped the rule long before Super Pasword! where've you been?
i think it is a great rule. they should never have allowed them, to begin with.
Princess Diana look a like
And a school teacher too
I dont see it
Just the hair.
Maybe I'm confused, but I thought opposites were legal clues.
+Ryan Bates They were when the show first started, and then they were illegal a few weeks later into the run. They became legal again when the show came back in 1984 as "Super Password."
DENo1MatchGameFan Got it... thanks for clarifying that!
+Ryan Bates You're welcome!
Never knew why that stupid rule was implemented
What happened to the last 2 weeks?!
And that guy had the biggest EGO I've ever SEEN! (I never liked Patty on here either. ANY time she's been on. She never shuts up!
It was probably her bi-polar issue.
@@RepentfollowJesus My view, too!
This show had to be rigged, just the way it played out. Flipper, the next puzzle?? Come on! That guy sure did have an ego.
The opposite rule is so STUPID
Where's your tribute for Joe Garagiola?
+Mitchell Hang (Gilblitz112) I simply don't have anything available for him. I never really collected his shows.
They weren't very consistent with enforcing the opposite and same name rules..
Mark was on coke!
South Central... kids are out of class anyway
15 seconds in and Mark is a marked man
Why was sororiry an illegal clue? Sorority is NOT an opposite of fraternity, it is associated with it - same thing but for the other gender. To me that's not the same as an opposite.
Ok, now I KNOW these games were rigged. There is no way that she said Flipper for the characters on Bonanza, then the next one puzzle is Flipper.
