Password

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.

AND we're done. Jimmy Fallon might be producing the show - but he does not need to be in EVERY episode. His over the top reactions are ridiculous. Keke Palmer is loud and obnoxious. The set looks like it was recycled from Who Wants to be. Millionaire. It's sad - because as a kid we watched Password with Allan Ludden and Betty White all the time. It wasn't loud and obnoxious. AND whoever the due is saying the password - lose the silly "mysterious" voice. It's not necessary. SO ... we prefer to remember the old show. It had class.

The reason Wheel of Fotune and Jeopardy have lasted so long is that they stay away from the caffeine and other unregulated pharmaceuticals. There's no need for screaming and overreacting on this game show. You can practically see the audience signs: Scream! Groan! Cheer for no reason!

Keke Palmer's outfit made me want to put on sunglasses. Everything is just so over the top annoying. They ruined a great game.

Love Password and watched it for years. I got the home edition and played that.

I was excited to see this new edition. It is WAY over the top! The phony, loud enthusiasm and having the audience acting hysterical over nothing totally ruins the game.

I hope because it is new that they will tweak it and make it watchable. If not, it will go the way of the dinosaurs.
