Password

I'm sorry password would be a fantastic show but I don't like the host .she is loud, overbearing & her voice is very grating on the nerves! Please find a better host someone who isn't so overbearing & doesn't have such a grating voice I can only watch so much of the show &then I'm done!

I liked the first season. It was fun and while they'd occasionally push the limits of the rules by adding sounds and small movements to their one word clues it was still quite challenging.

The start of the second season is just silly. All through the episode they allow the contestants to add movement and sound effects to their clues. The clue for "Buzz" was "Beezzzzzzzzz" with a distinct buzzing sound? The clue for "Flex" was "Muscles" and the guy literally flexed his muscles as he said it.

At that point they've removed the challenge of how do you get someone to guess a word with only a single word clue. Then they should just call it celebrities being silly. And ironically, Joe Manganiello was great at regular clues so he didn't need to add the rest in.

I realize the show is designed to be goofy but they had basic rules the first season that worked so why not stick with them on the second season?

I love the game of Password, but this manic, loud and obnoxious upgrade of the old show is disturbing. I loved the quietness and intensity of the original. When I saw that Jimmy Fallon was producing it, I knew it would be trouble. Keke Palmer is fine if only the whole atmosphere was not a circus.

I know it must have freaked producers out that there would be a show with people sitting behind a desk for an hour, but the audience can handle that without the manic energy that seems forced here. Excited people are great, but it can relax after a moment and just be a normal energy. That goes for the editing too... I was getting dizzy as the shot changed up like once every 5 seconds needlessly... just film it, doesn't have to switch so often. Finally, the show was Allan Ludden's and if it wasn't for Jimmy Fallon saying it he would have completely been cut out of mentions or tributes. I loved Betty White and I know she's fresh in our minds, but it was Allen's show and not to show him seems like the producers don't share the same love of the original as the audience does. There was also super password with Bert Convy which could also be given a nod. Tradition and keeping a steady pace aren't anti-new... it's important to keep that connection to the past and move forward. The set and love for the game is there & with a little tweaking this could be a fun new chapter.

I have nothing against Keke Palmer; I think she's a great actress. That being said, her role as the host was over the top and a little distracting. I agree with another reviewer who said that everything seemed overproduced, including the audience's OOHS and AHHS. I did like John Hamm and Jimmy Fallon as guests. If they tone it down a little, the show will be better.
