I can't wait for this. I can tell it's going to be a great marathon. The promo itself looks very inviting.

I'm looking forward to that. I love Betty White. She was on a number of game shows as well as on the TV sitcom "The Golden Girls" where she played as Rose Nylund. She was also did the part in the movie "Bringing Down the House" with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah. Nice to see Betty White on a number of different game shows including "Password" with her late husband Allen Ludden. "Password" is still my favorite show on GSN along with "Password Plus" and "Super Password".

The promo that GSN shows for it is really nice. In it, it shows two clips of her first apparance on the original Password since marrying Allen. I love the part where they show the part where she says: "Will you take me home please, Mr. Ludden?" And Allen replies "I'd love to, Mrs. Ludden."
