I don't think it was his decision either.  I believe what he's getting at (and I could be wrong) is that this mistake of a rule couldn't have cheered UP Allen during tapings.

And while Gene and Dawson were being so coy about mentioning the network of "Feud," they forgot that "MGPM" was seen on ABC-owned stations in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles (yeah, and Detroit and San Francisco, too).

For you "is it legal?" players at home, today's SP's bonus round must have been heaven.  Apparently, Tom Poston didn't learn anything from his performance on the last Alphabetics of PW+, as he gave gestures for (I forget the word).  Then for "erotic" he gave "love making" as a clue.  The contestant got credit for both I think, or at least one was never guessed but not buzzed.  The gesture incident is definitely suspect, but would you consider "love making" acceptable as one word just as much as it is a phrase?

I'm a pacifist, and even I would like to see a little more action.

I believe it was "Flash" that he gave gestures for...As he was gesturing like he had a camera...

I was surprised that they let him get away with that as long as he did..

According to dictionary.com, "lovemaking" is absolutely one word, as cited by three different sources, including Webster's and American Heritage.

Was singing a clue allowed?

It struck me today, when "Delight" came up, the first thing that went through my mind was "A-A-Afternoon..."

Singing a clue was allowed, as it didn't require the use of hand gestures.

Yes, that would have been fine. Just say a single word. How you say it is your choice. (With the exception of nixing the opposites on P+, of course.)

I saw it happen once - Marcia Wallace sang the clue "song", trying to get the password "Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious".

I saw Carol Burnett do it, too, either on P+ or SP.
