This actually was closer to the end of this version than the beginning. Thanks for the comment.

Ten years later, in 1985, Betty and Vicki were pitted against each other on Bert Convy's "Super Password." :-)

@CJBojangles THANK YOU, you have just confirmed something I knew I saw on TV all those years ago. Somewhere, I saw a list of names of substitute hosts on Password, and I kept telling everyone that that list was wrong.

Betty White's name wasn't on that list.

I was only 4 years old when this was on; I used to get this show mixed up with the show with "For The Fun Of It" as it's theme; the '71 to "75... OH, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

And I knew what I was talking about. THANKS again!

What I wouldn't give to see an episode from the week with Betty hosting!

Despite the quality, it's great to see this episode posted. Thank you for sharing it.

As to the gameplay itself, I agree that this version of "Password" had the weakest format. Raising the winning score to 50 points and adding the doubling option were good touches, although it may have worked better if each team could only use the double once. Apart from that, the qualifying round added a needless and tedious layer and the formula for the cash prize in the lightning round was complicated.
