User Reviews

great

Of all the passwords there were, this one was the most fun and watching the old reruns reminded me of good times back in the day, I can't believe its been that long since this was last on tv, boy times flies. I really miss the game shows the ones on today are bad and the remakes of older ones are even worse i.e. Family Feud with Al Borland errrrrrr Richard Karn.
