"Password" DVD Release Date!

America's favorite word game is coming to DVD! Password hosted by the wonderful Allen Ludden aired on CBS from 1961-1967 and was remade in 1971 and lasted until 1975 on ABC. It featured celebrity guests and regular everyday people, trying to figure out a password that their partner was trying to communicate to them with one word clues.

BCI Entertainment (the people who have brought you DVD releases of Match Game, Family Feud, and The Price is Right) are now going to help fans relive this great series in a new DVD release. With episodes including guest stars Lucille Ball, Jimmy Stewart, Betty White, and Woody Allen, this DVD will take you through the best years of Password. The Suggested price for the DVD is $29.98 and will be release on December 2nd. This would be a great Christmas Gift for the Game Show fan in your family.

It is not known yet if this DVD package will include any episodes of the ABC version, but even if it doesn't, this will still be great to have since the original Password is not on GSN's regular Line-up anymore.

My Family's Got Guts Premieres Tonight!

Tonight, Nickelodeon will premiere its new version of the 90's Game Show Guts renamed My Family's Got Guts! The show was hosted in the 90's by actor and comedian Mike O' Malley and co-hosted by Moira Quirk and ran for 3 years on Nick from 1992-1995. The show went from a fun little show that allowed kids to do athletic challenges to a Global competition that made the hosts be more serious since the show was aired around the world. Many believe this is the reason why the show was canceled in 1995.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Nick wanted to revive the show and turn it into a Family Competition. It was announced to premiere with two new hosts. TV host Ben Lyons and a new judge with the name of Asha Kuerten. Both will have the tough task of replacing two very popular hosts in O'Malley and Quirk.

Nick has taped 10 episodes with 5 being shown all this week and 4 being shown next Monday through Thursday. The finale will be shown next Saturday.


My Family's Got Guts - Premieres tonight at 8:00pm on Nickelodeon.
