In 1972, The password is “hilarious.” Felix Unger and Oscar Madison were always perfectly mismatched. The two men — one a neurotic neatnik, the other a compulsive slob — had absolutely nothing in common except a Manhattan apartment. In “Password,” Felix (Tony Randall) and Oscar (Jack Klugman) make the worst team since oil and water. Oscarʹs notoriety as a sportswriter earns him an invitation to play on the TV game show Password as the popular game-show host Allen Ludden, who turns out to be a fan of Oscarʹs sports columns, approaches him to be a celebrity panelist in a celebrity match playing against Luddenʹs real-life wife, Betty White. Felix, who fancies himself a Password genius, is ecstatic; he can be his roommateʹs partner. Oscar takes some convincing from Felixʹs whining and wheedling — first to be on the show and then to be on it with Felix — but he finally agrees. As bad choices go, this is right up there with Lincolnʹs decision to go to Fordʹs Theater. Practicing at their apartment, Oscar and Felix are totally in sync. but when they get to the studio, itʹs another story entirely. The password is gravy. Whiteʹs clue: “Sauce.” Her partner guesses “Mayonnaise.” Oscar, confidently, turns to Felix. “Meat,” he suggests, using his hands for emphasis. Felix responds, “Lincoln,” a bizarre non sequitur that leaves host Allen Ludden and the rest of the panel dumbfounded. Felix explains: “Itʹs a known fact that Lincoln loved mayonnaise!” Didnʹt we just mention the Great Emancipator earlier? Next, itʹs Felixʹs turn to give the clue; the password is bird. “Aristophanes,” he ventures, explaining after theyʹve lost that Aristophanes wrote the play The Birds. “No more Greek clues!” a furious Oscar shouts at Felix. “Aristophanes is ridiculous!” The next password: ridiculous. Oscar looks hard at Felix and growls, “Aristophanes.” Felix thinks and puts two and two together. “Ridiculous!” he shouts with glee, bouncing up and down. Itʹs a wonderfully witty setup to a classic sitcom moment, the point at which the odd couple finally gets even. The pairʹs utter failure to communicate finds its fullest, most sidesplitting expression in this sparkling episode. The game show segements within this program were fully scripted and the outcome pre-arranged.
