Super Password: Technical Difficulties!

[heartofcrystal4]

I visited the show very often. I had a blast and Bert was a great man.

[PTH4Fun]

Was the female contestant also on "The $100,000 Pyramid" @ 1:56?

[dagwood39]

poor Tom

[angeloflove]

in the last clip.. i love vicki's laugh :)

[MattTheSaiyan]

Regardless, this show should be on DVD.

[berezin99]

Funny how later in the clip Tom is wearing better clothes and that fancy little hat.

He was probably screwing up on purpose to get some camera time.

[ruantengyi]

That celebrity who says "I cannot see", is that Jamie Farr? Is he famous for starring on MASH?

[heartofcrystal4]

@ruantengyi Yes that is Jamie Farr and yes he starred on MASH.

[ChrisZaney]

Half the people in the first segment are dead, very sad.

[DEATHEXISTFOREVER]

they have no luck with oyster

[Warpstar]

The last clip doesn't show the whole blooper. Before that happened, the operator accidentally revealed the whole board instead of just the clue they got.

[KodyBoy555]

Oh no, it's Dom DeLuise!

[KodyBoy555]

but it looks like him?

[heartofcrystal4]

Tom, the guy who peeks over the top of the game board in this video is my dad. Tom Hutcheson, head props for the show.

[ericandy88]

Honest to god?

[heartofcrystal4]

I wouldn't lie about something like that.

[CrazyWedz]

@heartofcrystal4

Cool. Did you get to visit the set of the show?

[DrLove0378]

We all make mistakes, and I don't think Tom was in any danger of getting fired for them -- he was a union man (note the IATSE logo on his shirt.)

[catholicpriest1]

Today they would probably edit all this stuff out. Much more fun back then.

[AyriaSchala]

Yea, like how they always edit out when Pat lands on Bankrupt or Lose a Turn during the final spin...

[GarfieldnPyramid]

I've wanted to see that happen for years. But nerver have because of editing.

[xoxodabratxoxo]

hahaha love t(:

[Monuver]

last was best...as usual

[msnbc87]

it is alright to make mastakes tom it is a very human thing to do

[ChrisZaney]

At the 26 second mark, the celebrity contestant with blonde hair is looking forward... when the camera cuts back she is looking backwards at the board, something was edited out, I wonder what it was?

[mrwrister]

I think that confusion mixed with lots of laughter transpired for several minutes after 'liquor' was revealed that had to be edited from the show due to time constraints and/or relevance to actual game play. There is a video of Password Plus with Tom Kennedy hosting that is a perfect example of this. (search youtube for password plus french to view the kennedy clip)

[rickhh1]

@ChrisZaney I wonder if they were trying to prolong the oops by splicing in a segment of her turning and laughing and didn't think of the continuity error.

[dijeinyje]

Is that Leonard Maltin with Phyllis Diller in the Conceited incident?

[ChrisZaney]

yes it is

[xoxodabratxoxo]

yeahh

[wheeloffortunefan]

The man at 03:20 was acting, is that true?

[tasha40701]

No I don't think so.

[christentze]

the guy operating the board is such a cutie. "i...i musta pushed the button. i musta."

[dlchambers]

Bert Convy - what a tool

[tasha40701]

Well, he's not a tool but he sure is funny.

[BowserBlanchette]

What happened at the last part? The man screams about a guy, but couldn't see where.

[ChrisZaney]

He could see the operator of the clue board through the slots.

[JeopardyandWheelFan]

@BowserBlanchette And that man is Dick Gautier.

[ChrisZaney]

Look carefully just before Jamie Farr says the word "Portland", he looks straight into a light in the ceiling and blinds himself.

[WarOfTheKnights]

What happened in the second difficulty?

[SuperGamer7]

Tom kind of looks like Dom Deluise.

[Eberlucid]

Yes he did. Unless you have seen the Christmas shows, then he looks like Santa Claus. He is my Uncle and still does the Santa bit!!! Him and Bert were great friends. I miss Bert, he was taken from us way too soon.

[ChrisZaney]

Why did Tom never work in TV ever again after Password? His one and only IMDB credit is Super Password.

[Eberlucid]

At the time I was doing Password, I was also doing Wheel Of Fortune. After Super Password was over I moved on to Price Is Right at CBS. Tom

[tasha40701]

Is that a joke or what?

[ChrisZaney]

What is the acupuncture clip?

[Jnelson09Returns]

Jamie Farr correctly guessed "acupuncture" for the puzzle. The bell was ringing, but the thing wouldn't slide open. That's the acupuncture clip.

[tasha40701]

Now that's funny. :D

[Disneydanny]

But the BEST one of all and i'm surprised it didn't make this reel is the Accupuncture clip

[gameshowluvr86]

What made women in the 1980s agree to wearing those awful SHOULDER PADS? Therese looks like a lesbian linebacker!

[vnisanian2001]

I think "Dynasty" was responsible for that. Joan Collins & Linda Evans were known for sporting quite possibly the biggest shoulder pads ever.

[gameshowluvr86]

Dynasty was really big back then. Next to Dallas, that is... :)

[ChrisZaney]

What's so funny about the first clip is when the contestant Holly thinks she knows the answer, "Shlitz", which is soooo lame!!!
