In before the "I hope they watch Jimmy Fallon's version" posts. Jokes aside, someone at ABC really enjoys old game shows. It's kinda feeling like the 70s again...


/I hope they don't watch the Youtube version

Bonus "You Suck" points for the clickbait article title and the link to the article that you wrote.

You could have easily said "Password to come to ABC?" as the title and I still would have clicked through.

ETA: Since I'm being grouchy today, triple bonus points for the one paragraph of original content in the article and the rest being Things Everybody Knows.

Well, that's harsh. He tells us the show inside the thread...that's really not clickbait. No need for all the frustration.

Given that the show seems to have become less high-brow and faster-paced at every iteration I wonder what else you can do but still have a half-hour or hour program. Tonight Show Password is only eight minutes long--it won't keep people's attention repeated seven more times.

And here I was hoping they'd bring back The Money Maze.

Not that this is the biggest issue confronting me in my life today, but I kinda agree with the original point.  It would make things a lot easier on a message board forum if the subject line actually identified the subject, and wasn't a blind tease.  Of course, this isn't my sandbox anymore.

It doesn't need to be a codified rule but I do think it's good etiquette to get to the darn point of what you're saying and cutting out the garbage. What's inexplicable is that it's a tease to open the thread instead of the link. I think we've fairly well established that as a group we're not going to put up with "you're not going to believe what's behind the hyperlink!" clickbait.

Nope, it's "what's left of what used to be". :P

Well, if they could get Alec Baldwin for "Match Game," then maybe George Clooney...

I was hoping for Split Second, and was so disappointed I threw my computer out the window. To whom do I send the bill?

Let's put Tammy in charge of this in the birthday sandbox.
