When Goodson-Todman revived I've Got a Secret in syndication in 1972, they were hoping it'd have the staying power it had when it was on CBS in the 50's & 60's. Steve Allen, who'd succeeded Garry Moore a few years into the CBS run, had returned, now with a rotating (mostly) panel that included Henry Morgan, a holdover from the previous series (Bill Cullen was on Bob Stewart's speed dial, if they had those things back then), and Richard Dawson, who'd move over to Match Game after this iteration of Secret bit the dust.
Anita Gillette and Pat Carroll join the guys and special guest Allen Ludden for this episode, in which Ludden has the panel play a bizarre round of Password......
Now, that, as the kids say today, was cray-cray.
Rating: A.
