Password Plus and Super Password.

About Password Plus and Super Password

Password Plus and Super Password are American TV game shows that aired separately between 1979 and 1989. Both shows were revivals of Password, which originally ran from 1961 to 1975 in various incarnations. With only subtle differences between them, both Password Plus and Super Password retained the format of play as their predecessor, with two teams of two people each—a celebrity and a contestant—attempting to guess a mystery word using only one-word clues. New features included a series of five passwords as clues to an overarching puzzle for the teams to solve, as well as a bonus round requiring the winning team to guess ten passwords under a time limit to win a cash jackpot. Password Plus was originally hosted by Allen Ludden, who hosted all prior versions of Password; he departed from the show in 1980 and was replaced by Bill Cullen and then by Tom Kennedy. Bert Convy was the sole host of Super Password. Both shows had Gene Wood as the primary announcer.
