Also, I just found out all the celebrities that are going to be on this season, so if you're a fan of one of them, that might give you another incentive to tune in.

12/18 - Aisha Tyler & William Shatner
12/21 - Julie Chen & Phil Keoghan
12/28 - BETTY WHITE & Adam Carolla
1/4 - Serena Williams & Craig Ferguson
1/11 - Norm McDonald & Jamie Kennedy
1/18 - Repeat from 6/1/08
1/25 - Chelsea Handler & Jeff Garlin
2/1 - Repeat from 12/18/08

I didn't see that particular week myself, but according to this guide right here, that week aired in March 1988.

I know Allen Ludden is doing flips at the cemetary of the poor representation of Password. The celebrity players are lousy. Betty White is not as sharp of a player as she was back in the day. I long for those days of Elizabeth Montgomery, Bill Bixby, Carol Burnett and many other great celebrity Password players from back in the day.

Is it true that Million Dollar Password is cancelled?

I still don't get this one. Why cancel a show pulling in 10 million viewers? The demo was low (a little less than a 2.0), but still, during the holiday season when the show aired, that's not that bad. CBS would be stupid to cancel this show, let alone pull it from the schedule so abruptly.

Jude The Obscure · 01-23-2009, 09:02 PM

And it always seemed to rank in the top 25 shows of the week. Heck, CBS should have just left this as a summer offering......we need fun shows to watch then!

Wasn't it in the top 20 for all its airings this winter, too? CBS should have expected low demos for a show like this, but still, they didn't have to yank it with only 2 episodes left to air.

And I definitely agree - it should have been left for a summer show. I still don't see why CBS can't do that. Why do they HAVE to cancel it for some reason?

I've got a better idea. Somebody call me once the Barney Miller Week airs again!!

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)!!

Actually , what I meant Cat, was that I'd like to see all-new shows, but, with the original FORMAT...more game, less "money round"
