You may discuss any incarnation of "Password" broadcast by the Game Show Network recently. I'll start the discussion by describing a series of moments I found interesting in the edition of "Password Plus" broadcast this past Sunday and by expressing my personal feelings about those moments:
During the round with the puzzle for Francis (F.) Scott Fitzgerald, the contestant Richard Jay Palio used the word "princess" as a clue for the password "Zelda" (Zelda was the name of the wife of a famous author who bore that name). I found that clue interesting because the program was produced years before the first "The Legend of Zelda" game was released to the public (the program was first broadcast in 1982, almost four years before the game was first released the public, initially in Japan) and I had doubted his partner Gina Hecht, one of the celebrated guests for the program, would say "Zelda" since I did not believe many people back in 1982 would have associated the word "princess" with the word "Zelda" (ironically the contestant said he "wrote computer video games").
After the puzzle for Francis Scott Fitzgerald was solved, the host James Narz (or Tom Kennedy, his pseudonym) said the word "Zelda" was the "all-time most ungettable word" and asked "what other Zelda is there" before Fred Travalena, the other celebrated guest for the program, answered by saying, "Zelda car, Zelda house". After the commercial break, James Narz said he could not find any other Zelda in the book lying in front of him before mentioning a person in the audience named Zelda.

Nice, on today's Super Password, Richard Moll brought out the "Bull" puppet. Thought the only place that was ever used was on the one episode of Night Court. Any other appearances anyone is aware of?

^The puppet appeared in the edition broadcast at 10:00 a.m. (Central time) that day. The reason for my mentioning of this is because the edition broadcast earlier that day (at 8:00 a.m.) had Richard Moll also (it was originally broadcast months earlier by NBC).

Thanks, Mario, I should have mentioned that in my post. It's not like I didn't notice that Richard Moll was being shown on both timeslots, from different appearances.

I corrected my first post today for the following reasons: I mistakenly typed last Sunday's edition of "Password Plus" was originally broadcast in 1981 when in fact it was originally broadcast in 1982 after mistaking Audrey Landers for one of the celebrated guests in that edition after researching an episode guide for the program (my research was based on the name Fred Travelena). I hope you all forgive me for the mistakes, as I strive to be as accurate as possible.

No problem. It isn't a huge deal

The day that I posted, the episode of Super Password that aired on September 22, 1986, my birthday, was being shown on GSN, yes.

The "i" in the word "cellulite" was pronounced the short way rather than the (more common) long way during the Cashword round of "Super Password" broadcast at 10:00 a.m. (Central time) today.

I've heard it pronounced both ways.

The frame rate of the final segment of the edition of "Super Password" broadcast between 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. (Central times) yesterday slowed down a few times.

I was informed by a Facebook contact that during the Dick Martin week of Password Plus (airing since last Sunday), there is a blooper when someone gives "JFK" as the clue for "Initials" and the illegal clue tones are replaced with a fire alarm-like bell, and then someone gives the letter L as a clue, and someone attempts to guess "KKK", putting everybody into fits of laughter, I would assume. I didn't check my recording from this morning, but if it hasn't aired this morning, it should air either tomorrow or next weekend.
As for the Blondie episode, barring the unlikelihood of the band's refusal to clear Tom Kennedy's singing of a line from "The Tide is High", it occurred during the week with Gene Rayburn (according to a Password Plus fansite), so it will likely be a while before we get to see it on GSN.
It's hard to believe we are into the final month of the run of Password Plus already.

^The edition of "Password Plus" cardsharksfan8689 described was broadcast this past Sunday. As for the "fits of laughter" that happened during that edition, they were the result of the buzzer being used three times after the initials "KKK" were said.
Has anyone else ever heard the sound effect for correct guesses in "Password Plus" playing faintly just before players correctly guessed passwords?

Not really, but I do remember a really silly set of sound effects used on Super Password.
I don't remember what the puzzle it self was, but what one of the celebrities (Jamie Farr, I think) guessed "Is it a squirrelly Squirrel in the Marines?"
Burt then asked the judges "It is a squirrely squirrel?" *usual "wrong" buzzer* Burt then adds "In the Marines" *FOGHORN!*
Does anybody remember that, or can anybody find that on video?
