    Episode D67 of The Big Showdown
    VTR 3/14/75

    (In)famous episode where host Jim Peck falls down the stairs in the opening, and then gives off a remark that probably wouldn't fly on daytime TV in 2022, that's for sure.

    This show needs to be revived.

    Years later, Andy Aaron was a contestant on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, not once but twice! He first appeared in August of 1999, and finally got into the hot seat in December of 2000.

    Wow, Andy got Showdown and wins $5,000, The Big Showdown was a super awesome 1975 game show!

    Also known as "The Big Fall Down"!

    “epaddon” also has the final show of the “Big Showdown (aka Big Fall Down)” from 7/4/75, but sadly, it’s in audio only.

    0:33 Just like the flashback intros on *"The New $25,000 Pyramid!"*

    Wasn't it odd that such an exciting, clever quiz game had an end game that was 100% luck?

    I wonder if anyone won the $10,000 during the Big Showdown's brief run.

    "What undercover organization is known by the three letters "I.R.A?"
    Andy: "Internal Revenue Association"
    I think he confused the IRS with the Irish Republican Army, but hey, if the shoe fits.... 🤣😛

    If you have a pair of 2 inch dice, you can substitute 6s for Showdown and do what they did on the show

    Didn’t the show end with the 1973 Universal Television logo on it’s original airing? (since it was a network show, though there was an in-credit mention of “MCA TV Ltd.”)

    In Philadelphia Pennsylvania WPVI channel 6 Monday Thur Friday. This was on @ 9:30am.

      We didn't get it and The Money Maze on ABC7 Los Angeles until after lunchtime.

    Any idea what episodes the first 3 bonus round clips the opening montage are from? The second montage (0:13) with the woman looks like there are like Christmas wreathes on the set.
    Also - is this the same Andy Aaron that was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in December 2000? They both have a similar lisp. millionaire.fandom.com/wiki/Andy_Aaron czcams.com/video/MBHvIcTN-d0/video.html

      Yes, that is the same Andy. I recall that a trader was able to provide him with a copy of this episode in the late 90s.

    Holy shit, 60fps! Did you interpolate this from another upload, or did you trade for a tape copy?

    • @JsClassicTV
      @JsClassicTV  Před 2 lety +1

      I interpolated this from a .mkv I got in a trade. I wish I had access to the tape itself, then I could capture it really well (s video, tbc) and do more with it.
      I capture with a Panasonic AG-1970P for VHS and a Sony SL-HF860D SuperBeta for betamax

      I'm surprised that they didn't edit out someone from the audience shouting out.
      To be fair, this is the same company that kept the clip of Jim Peck falling down the stairs, so 🤣

      The nametag for the female contestant is Diane, are you referring to the person in the montage at 0:12?
