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!
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.
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 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've always loved Password and was so looking forward to the revival of this game show. Mr Ludden would give it a thumbs down and a frowning emoji. It is over-the-top celebration (a common complaint of mine for many other recent game shows) and crass commercialization. I will likely watch it because it is more mentally stimulating than other network shows, but I wish the old format/rules were present. Tone down the chatter, the feigned excitement and product placement passwords and it will be more enjoyable. I hope the network will read these comments and that Jimmy Fallon will tone down his acting out the passwords. That's plain cheating.
