Something i noticed on Password then, was that Lee Vines would whisper the
passwords for the home viewers. Back then(1966), my grandmother's viewing
consisted of Let's Make a Deal, Password, The Doctors(soap opera), Another
World and You Don't Say. And the legendary announcers then- Jay Stewart,

Speaking of announcers, i assume that Lee Vines was a CBS staff guy, much
like Don Pardo was at NBC. Jack Clark did Password too, but i know him
better as announcer for "Wheel of Fortune." Always was great with loads of
copy he had to read each day. Was Vines ever considered by Goodson for

And BUZZR airs them every weekday at 2 p.m. ET with some more slight
cutting (the first commercial break cut out so that they go right from the

after the station break).

I’m not sure what the initial source of that “College Bowl” video comes from.
But (speaking of Allen Ludden), something comparable from the same year, the
1966-67 season of “Password” also exists in surprisingly good condition.
Goodson-Todman kept them (slightly edited) for the purpose of sellin
First off, that video is in *really good* quality for 1966.
Second, I'd wager the It's Academic production budget is comparable to the

I know College Bowl was a non-televised thing when I was in college.
The DC area has televised a high-school level equivalent, It's Academic,
forever. Between that and my own college level experience, I don't think it
makes the greatest television. Hopefully Peyton is less Nationwide Peyton an

Speaking of, looks like there’ll be a new Allen Ludden in town: Betty White

Hilarious moment.
Unfortunately, the only good moment of the show.
Aaron Rodgers is not good at talking on television. He spoke in a
sleep-inducing monotone.
But I'll give him this: On the football-players-hosting-game-shows scale,
he ranks above Rolf Benirschke.
