If you haven't caught this on CBS, go to CBS.com and check it out. It's seriously entertaining. Mostly because whoever books the celebrities realizes that the show is more fun when the celebrities are terrible at the game, so they end up with last night's episode, and Serena Williams, trying to get her partner to say Brunch:
Serena: "Brady?"
Contestant: "Bunch?"
Serena: "Brady?"
Craig Ferguson was the other celebrity on last night, and he was really terrific, probably the smartest one they've had this season, although Neil Patrick Harris and Betty White have also been great. And Betty White especially entertaining because she's 86 years old and still seems incredibly sharp. To be able to be good at Password at 86 is awfully impressive, considering most 86 year olds are probably on the other end of a game of Password during most of their regular conversations... "that thing..." "you mean the kitchen?" "no, that other thing..." "you mean the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?" "no, that other thing..." "you mean your foot." "Yes!"
That show is oddly compelling. Also, it turns out William Shatner is an idiot. Go figure.

I was watching last night. I couldn't believe when Serena used that clue. The contestant seemed kind of shocked when Regis told her that the word they were looking for was Brunch.
Maybe she thought the name of the show was the Brady Brunch. Probably not.
