LOVED MITCH MILLER AND HIS GANG. I VIEWED HIS SHOWS GROWING UP. MY DAD PLAYED HIS MUSIC ON REEL TO REEL SATURDAY NIGHTS. WHAT A CLASS ACT! WHAT A LEGEND. GREAT MUSIC!!! MITCH LIVED TO BE 99!!!
"Sing-a-long-with-Mitch"! Good show. The words were put up on the screen. We watched it on the Dumont TV in the wood cabinet with four legs. { I was the "Remote Control" back then,,,, I laid on the rug, and rolled over to change the channel or turn down the volume during the commercials. 🙂} That and "The Lawrence Welk Show" and "Gunsmoke" were regularly watched at our house in the 1960's. Sadly Mitch Miller was ditched by the networks. Replaced by 3 chord wonder twits and a no talent made-up "Family". Ugh.
@@gusloader123 Hey Gus! Love your remarkable comments! The three shows you mention were definitely winners. We watched them at my house on an old cabinet model RCA Victor B&W (there was no "Living Color" in my house till 1970). We did not get Lawrence Welk because, at the time, there was no ABC affiliate in Baton Rouge. Always watched it, however, at grandparents house in New Orleans, when we visited (twice per month). Mitch Miller was, for years, senior music director at Capitol Records. He was instrumental in launching Rosemary Clooney's career (among others). You're right ---- the network ditched Mitch Miller and replaced him with saccharine! In 1970's, ABC ditched Lawrence Welk (after 20 years). Mr. Welk started his own network and went on for another eight years in syndication, retiring 1983. Incidentally, I was the "remote control" in my house back in the day!
Every time I hear the name Mitch Miller I can't help myself from busting out in a great big belly laugh. My parents were fans of his, all I can remember of his music are the lines be kind to your web footed friends for a duck could be somebody's mother, thanks for the upload and the fond memories. Out of desperation I woulda used the clue witch as a last ditch effort to solve craft
I recently saw Joan Crawford playing Password on this channel. I was frightened. I almost expected her to haul off and slap a contestant who didn't get the answer right. In her films, she was known to slap people who pissed her off.
I have great admiration for Mitch Miller. He's from my home city of Rochester, New York, and a graduate of the Eastman School of Music @ the University of Rochester.
During the game, Allen answered a question that I have asked several times. And that is why some games the contestants left after one game and other times they played the entire show. He said that they played the entire game on Sunday nights only.
Hahnemann Hospital, 1962; two years before my Dad started medical school there. Maybe Louise worked with my Dad? ❤ Dearly wish he was still with us so I could send this video to him. 😢
Ms Dawn Wells of Gilligans Island fame in one of her latter day You Tube interviews tells of her meeting with Mr Mitch Miller when he was one of the judges in the Miss America peageant in which Miss Wells participated . Very funny !
Allen Ludden was once an English teacher; and later the host of G.E. College Bowl. He was very erudite courtly. The show Password was always polite and well-mannered; educational as well as funny.
One thing I have noticed having watched almost every password show in here is that when they show the audience clapping....there is ALWAYS a grump in the crowd who is NOT clapping. Look for them....its like looking for Waldo....
I am no computer or sound expert, but I would have thought that it wouldn't be so impossibly difficult, with modern technology, for someone to re-synch it. I found it very distracting .
That version, which she premiered in 1959 was called "Once Upon A Matress" and CBS did a television version in about 1964. It is on TH-cam and while the performances are great, the copy on the computer is faded in picture and sound.
Mitch Miller did perhaps the best rendition of that opening gambit I've heard. It's a great line, but it's hard to say, "And we're all here to play... PASSWORD!" without sounding corny or forced. He was smart and went the other way.
One that is strange about this video is that beginning at 9:30, the mouth movements and the audio are out of synch. I have seen this before on videos before, but never one that started that problem during the run of the video.
What is it that makes Carol Burnett at this stage of her life look different from when she had her own show? She got a lot thinner, but there seems to be more to it than that.
Dr. Livingstone I. Presume she actually was thinner in the 60s she said this on the Carol Burnett show during question and Answers and some people age differently as they get older my cousin look totally different in her 20s then she she does now in 40s she had no work done FYI Carol Burnett didn’t get plastic surgery until 1980 or so when she did something to her chin She beautiful either way
It seems to me that when she was younger - for example as she appeared on "The Twilight Zone" - her mouth looked even bigger. That, and I think the medium of clack and white made her hair look darker.
There are foolish people on the internet who think that women can't be spontaneously funny. They need to see Carol try to get the word "diction" across.
that's because Carol was actually funny and knew how to make almost any situation an opportunity. She used all of her assets as just that, like anyone does in their profession if they are worth a damn at it! She was so damn good. These hacks nowadays that just talk about their awful sex lives and other pathetic bullshit that can't hold up next to someone like her and Joan Rivers.
Either times have changed drastically or I am ill-informed - I've only known "Whiskers" to be something a cat has - not related to human facial hair. Odd.
The word whiskers is not commonly used today to indicate facial hair, but it certainly was in common use in 1962 and older folks like me still use the old meaning. I just looked in the Cambridge Dictionary, which gives this old meaning as a secondary "old-fashioned" definition.
Great guests, especially Mitch Miller, who informs everyone to singalong. And TV was good in the 60's as well as the 70's, but then it was beginning to be awful and awful ever since 2015. Sad!
Mitch Miller and the woman contestant did the lightning round in 20 seconds! That was fantastic, but later in the game the same woman seemed to forget that a U.S. Penny is made of COPPER. 🙃 Unlike many of the people in the comments, I did not like C.B. then, nor her slapstick / not funny show that was on C.B.S. years later. It is on Me-TV after "Hogan's Heroes" and before "Perry Mason". Good time to get the laundry done or take a shower, anything instead of watching/listening to her and her "horse laugh" and stoooopid skits. Ugh! And the announcer and the Host calling her and Rosemary Clooney "lovely"? 🙄 Nope. Betty White was pretty (His wife) and some other gals over the years such as Gabor, Polly Bergen, Janet Leigh, Angie Dickinson, but C.B. was NOT "Lovely". Not ugly, but extremely average.

I watched Mitch Miller every week when I was a kid. Loved his all-male chorus. "Let me hear a melody ... I love to sing along, loud and strong ..."
I loved the all-male chorus, too! I still do...
"Sing-a-long-with-Mitch"! Good show. The words were put up on the screen. We watched it on the Dumont TV in the wood cabinet with four legs. { I was the "Remote Control" back then,,,, I laid on the rug, and rolled over to change the channel or turn down the volume during the commercials. 🙂}

MITCH WAS THE GREATEST. I LOVED HIS SHOWS IN THE DAY. LOVED THE GANG
we always watched mitch miller with my folks.
Little did they know that 5 years later she would begin the show that would make her a comedic legend

"Pasword" is a catalogue of the best performers from TV to the stage to music in a certain timeframe. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

He lived to be 99!
One of the best schools of music....if not THE best
When I was a kid, Mitch came to our area's Camp Thunderbird & did a performance one summer afternoon. He put on quite a show.
I liked this version, where they played for the whole show.
It's a shame the sound on this is so out of sync.
I thought it was just me
Both of you are out of sync 😂
It's 60 years ago. It's a gift we can watch it.
During the game, Allen answered a question that I have asked several times. And that is why some games the contestants

Carol was a frequent flyer on Password. She must have loved the game.
Carol’s “pro-NUN-ci-a-tion” has to be one of the greatest moments in ‘Password’ history!
Allen was a great host! He must be a good guy since Betty White married him and still speaks fondly of him.
Allen Ludden was once an English teacher; and later the host of G.E. College Bowl. He was very erudite courtly. The show Password was always polite and well-mannered; educational as well as funny.
How many other people were yelling "PENNY" as a clue for Copper?
Yep. Seems they forgot that a Penny is made of copper. 🤔
One thing I have noticed having watched almost every password show in here is that when they show the audience clapping....there is ALWAYS a grump in the crowd who is NOT clapping. Look for them....its like looking for Waldo....
look no more...
The sound seems to be a bit out of sync.
I thought it was my computer.
@@lynnturman8157 I noticed that too. Does it correct itself?
I am no computer or sound expert, but I would have thought that it wouldn't be so impossibly difficult, with modern technology, for someone to re-synch it. I found it very distracting .
@@craftypam9992 No it’s not difficult, you can do it in iMovie, detach audio, shift it forward or backwards to sync, can be done in less than 2 mins
Love Carol's laugh :)
I love Carol! She is The Best!
"There is Carol Burnett and then there all the other female comedians!!"
Phyllis Diller.
Well, Carol, Lucy and Phyllis were all different types of comedians. Lucy played Lucy Ricardo pretty much and Phyllis Diller did stand up...
C.B. had rough time when she was growing up, but she always seemed cheerful on t.v. She did make a pretty good life for herself.
I loved Carol in "The Princess an d the Pea" when I was twelve
Before the T.V. show
That version, which she premiered in 1959 was called "Once Upon A Matress" and CBS did a television version in about 1964. It is on TH-cam and while the performances are great, the copy on the computer is faded in picture and sound.
did you see when Carol Burnett does her iconic gesture, pinching her ear?
Right as she introduced her partner?
I saw she did it at 18:46 when she was talking about her little sis, Chrissie.
Chrissie reminds me of Stockard Channing....wow!
3 days before my second birthday!
Why could they save so many Passwords on tape, but no "What's My Line's?
I had to laugh at myself, I paused the video at 7:22 to take a potty break, and cracked up at the caption.
Fun game! Thanks
Mitch Miller did perhaps the best rendition of that opening gambit I've heard. It's a great line, but it's hard to say, "And we're all here to play... PASSWORD!" without sounding corny or forced. He was smart and went the other way.

@@randysills4418 🥁 Wow , that is incredible !! I didn’t know that. 🎺
He kissed her !!!!
Firehouse is one word, but fire box is two words.
Hardly seems fair to our heroes in the box.
Mitch Miller reminded me of Keenan Wynn.
One that is strange about this video is that beginning at 9:30, the mouth movements and the audio are out of synch. I have

Carol is a Hoot! To funny 😂
The sound is out of sync with lip movement! Oh well, it's been a long time since 1962!
a FOURTH game? wooooooow
Please fix the audio/picture. Thank you!

She beautiful either way
Maybe because she started toning down the eyebrow and eyelash makeup?
(I'm a guy, ladies, so I apologize if I'm using the wrong words.)
She was younger and rather appealing. Her sister was a fox.
It seems to me that when she was younger - for example as she appeared on "The Twilight Zone" - her mouth looked even bigger. That, and I think the medium of clack and white made her hair look darker.
why did "whiskers" elicit such a strong response?
Maybe because the man had a beard. I thought of cat.
Amazing how much Louise Smith looks like my ex-girlfriend, Cadence. Especially when she smiled.
There are foolish people on the internet who think that women can't be spontaneously funny. They need to see Carol try to get the word "diction" across.
Oh, I don't think that at all.
I just think you can't find people like that as easy today.

She used all of her assets as just that, like anyone does in their profession if they are worth a damn at it! She was so damn good.

@@Poeticjedi I'd like to add Phyllis Diller to your list, what say you?
@@donaldleroy6502 no argument
Is that's Carol's real hair or a wig !!!!????
This has different opening than the ones earlier than this. Is this the first one for this particular format?
be nice if the sound was right
When nineteen year olds had class and dignity.
And she looks at least 39
Not just 19 year Olds. When everyone had class, dignity, and respect.
It goes out of synch around 9:30
22:06 Mitch uses "tonsorial" for "barber" and both contestants though it had something to do with the tonsils or throat, lol.
That wasn't fair AT ALL! The last time the score was tied, he gave BOTH contestants 250 dollars!
They seemed to change the rules all the time. Not concerned with fairness.
Audio and video do not match after halfway point.
The audio is out of sync.
Sound track. OFF.
Yes, when I first started watching this episode, the words were in sync, but about a third of the way into it, their words were way off! Boo!
I thought that 19 year old woman was about 40

I think Betty White looked better with lighter hair. She looked a bit severe with dark hair.
Mitch was wrong about rock and roll!
Dirty was a really bad clue for copper
It was an expression used in a lot of crime and gangster movies.
this is a bad video.....sound is NOT matching with their mouths
Well, it IS 1962!
(but it is hard to follow)
