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.

The late Allen Ludden made the show a classic. This one is anything but. The original had just the right intensity and atmosphere. This one, like too many shows today, is way over produced. You've got Fallon acting like a 6 year old, a host who yaks too much and a screaming overly hyped up audience giving so many standing ovations that they lose their meaning. The original is still more fun to watch. Allen must be spinning in his grave.

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 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.
