I don't think this is part of the regular schedule, but I saw that it will be on tomorrow. I will let you know who the guests were since I am recording it.

The 3 am episode was an ABC one.

Almost all of the 1971-'75 "PASSWORD" daytime shows on ABC {4-4:30pm(et)} weren't saved (most of the videotapes were simply reused for other projects), but THIS one survived!!! I don't know exactly WHAT year it was produced, because GSN "scrunched" the credits again, just so they could promote their upcoming shows...but I believe it was 1972, before Jack and Brett Klugman got divorced. GOOD to see it again!!!!

Wow, I didn't realize how rare it was, I am glad I recorded them both. Caroll Burnett was in the other one

It was an installment from Week 133 (October 22, 1973 to October 26, 1973).

Sadly, I only have part of the episode on VHS; the TV cut off in the middle of the first station break during my off-air recording. :( Let's hope more ABC Password eps have turned up! :D

It was from October 23. A telltale sign of that is that at the beginning when Allen walked out, he said "well, happy Tuesday to you." I taped it on two VCR's in case something screwy would happen. I wasnt taking chances for this one.

That was the only thing that sucked about that showing last night. Usually shows that GSN air at 3 am are uncrunched. Lord knows they've shown that Starface commercial at least 800 times. And also, the CBS episode was crunch-free. Oh, well, at least it wasnt sped-up. Other than that little misfortunate bit, everything else about that hour was very enjoyable.
