Hugs and good humor, and something called the “Redemption Round,” guarantee an upbeat tone that makes it impossible to watch Password without smiling. Or laughing. [15 - 28 Aug 2022, p.5]

Despite the slow pace, easy clues and overreliance on guffaws, we still found ourselves playing along as if we were watching the older versions on BUZZR. And the modernized version of the ’60s theme song is pretty fun. If the show gets a second season, we hope Fallon and Quinn tighten things up to make the show move a bit faster.

The new Password is… not bad? And even a lot of fun at times. No, I’m still not a fan of the set, which has none of the coziness from the (deep cut alert!) Allen Ludden-hosted era, but instead seems dictated by the law that every primetime game show since 1999 has to evoke Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. ... But the gameplay is faithful to that which we all know (save for a flourish or two), and the proceedings are overseen by a pretty perfect host.
