I bought this, thinking it was an additional volume of episodes of the one I bought that was released in 2008. In fact, it's the same episodes, with 2 missing from the earlier edition.
Obviously, I wouldn't have bought this if I had known it was the same thing. Also, the title has been altered slightly. The first one I bought mentions the years 1962-1957. This new volume says 1961-1967, so naturally I thought new episodes were being released. So, as I said, What a Crock to the eggheads who released this in a misleading manner. Beware.

If you do not own this, or any other previous releases, this DVD is not a bunch of crock! These are original classic episodes featuring Betty White, Carol Burnett, and many more! This is a must for any game show fan!

I bought this wonderful set at a local video store for $5.00. It was WELL WORTH it!
The folks at Mill Creek know where to get winners! And THIS one is no exception. I am a major fan of 1960's TV...back when TV WAS TV!
The quality is great for films this old.
Crystal clear sound and sensational video.
ANY fan of this show or others from the 1960's will LOVE this set.
BELIEVE ME! I don't go out there and waste my money!
WAY TO GO MILL CREEK!

Alan Ludden created a simple but eminently entertaining show in Password, and the early years were the best. Guest stars included some of the most engaging comedians, actors, band leaders, and other personalities of the day. Although the games themselves were interesting, the real appeal was the interaction between the guest star players ... both with each other and with Alan, and occasionally with the players. You've never seen anyone as gracious as Alan Ludden. He met Betty White when she was a guest on the show and they later married.

You'll find some wonderfully entertaining moments on this DVD. You might also watch for its occasional runs on the Game Show network. When they show it, it is generally in the wee morning hours, so use the search feature and then set your DVR to catch it. You'll be glad you did! In those runs you'll find such thrills as Jimmy Steward and wife Gloria (and their kids), Lucille Ball, Carol Burnette, Mitch Miller, Carol Channing, Peter Lawford (who held the long time record for the fastest lightning round), Skitch Henderson (you may not remember who Skitch was, but look him up ... he was also one of most engaging Password guest stars), Bennet Cerf, and the list goes on. This was a coveted guest role for major stars in those days. They enjoyed playing the game and were happy to do so on TV for us all to see. There are some moments to cherish in these shows.
