Oh yeah...that, too.

Even the Password Plus format would work too. Another main problem is there's too much applause and noise. The last episode with Betty White I watched she had to scream her answers. Plus the add-ins of Regis saying 'one more to go' etc is obnoxious.

Seriously, I'd love to see the classic episodes, with Allen Ludden as hosts and guest stars such as Elizabeth Montgomery, Paul Lynde, Carol Burnett, etc. Not to mention Mrs. Allen Ludden herself (Betty White)!!

Rent the Best of Password DVD, monika! it's worth it

Yep, I find Regis very distracting here in this format. let him go back to WWTBAM!

Really? I saw nothing wrong with Regis Philbin hosting at all (or any other show he hosted in addition to "Live With Regis & Kelly" for that matter).

Speaking of Millionaire, is the syndication version hosted by Meredith Viera still around?

...........And let me add....NO REGIS! (Or Drew Cary, for that matter)

^ Do I detect a bit of hostility there, Mikey?

Mikado · 01-25-2009, 12:11 AM

Not really, i just dont think either of them are good game show hosts

don't take that as a dislike of Regis by me. I find his hosting style distracting for this type of game.

and yes, Monika, the syndicated version with Meredith is still around and still doing well.

I agree Jude, I love Regis, but he is very brash and kind of has a loud personality - that apparently involves yelling every few words. I enjoy it much more with Allen who was much more formal and low key.

I have to agree - Regis was great on Millionaire, you can't deny that. But Password is not Millionaire. I think it's because of Regis that you get the sense that MDP just isn't the same - of course, it's also the flashy set, the loud audience, and the different gameplay.

Speaking of Millionaire, can you believe the syndi-verision is still going strong? It's still a regular top 20 performer for syndicated shows, and has been all 8 years. I wonder how Deal or No Deal's been doing in daytime . . .

Jude The Obscure · 01-25-2009, 07:59 PM

DoND started out ok, but I think it is really on the bubble for renewal in syndication. I'm sure GSN will pick up the reruns (both primetime and syndie) and run them into the ground like they did with primetime Millionaire.
