- Hey, hey, hey. Well, I've been off for awhile, but I'm back and I've got more videos planned. I'm starting with a new installment of "15 Minute Game Show Reviews" and this time, it's the short-lived 1978 revival of Jeopardy!, a black mark on a game show with an otherwise spotless record.

That strike buzzer always scared the crap out of me as a kid. Loved the theme song to this version of Jeopardy!, though.
From 1979 to 1982, Fleming also did "College Bowl" for CBS Radio, while also doing the finals in syndication on TV in 1978 and 1979.
We were living in Arizona when "Jeopardy!" returned to NBC in 1978 as a revival as Art Fleming returned as host and John Harlan took over as the new announcer replacing Don Pardo. And the Super Jeopardy! Bonus Game replaced Final Jeopardy! as a new end game, but Final Jeopardy! was reinstated in 1984 on its current run of Jeopardy! which just celebrated its 40th season on the air in syndication.
Art Fleming was definitely the Gentleman.Enjoyed his voice,but the rounds often left a lot of answers.Made things extremely hard for those rounds and the Super Jeopardy bonus round.I hated the Strike buzzer noise.I think it was 90 seconds or maybe 2 minutes for the winning contestant to complete the round and win whatever cash it was,i..$5,000,$7,500,$10,000etc.I'm glad i wasn't born until 1970.
The $50,000 Pyramid(1981)is another one to critique
I think I'll do that next. Although I was thinking about doing Shop Til You Drop as well.
And Davidson’s $10,000 Pyramid. I remember seeing it!
Looks like the Super Jeopardy! bonus round inspired Blockbusters' Gold Run.
Legend has it it did.

The 1978-1979 version of “Jeopardy!” on NBC daytime was enjoyable, but kind of an icky format!
I prefer the 1964-1975 & 1984-present versions much better.
Actually, in the first season of the current version, they could ring in anytime... it was season two where they had to wait.
I was in my teens when the 1978 version of Jeopardy came out and i do remember the 1964-1975 Jeopardy as well with the great Don Pardo announcing. That said, I lived in a city that had local news and local programming, so I missed a lot of game shows. I have watched the 1978 Jeopardy on CZcams and IMO I THINK the 1978 version lacks the "flow" of the original. Eliminating 1 contestant after the Jeopardy round, no Final Jeopardy, it just seemed weird to watch. I'm glad Merv saw the mistakes of the 1978 version & went basically back to the original in the 1984 version.
I personally was okay with the bonus round format as it was, somewhat similar to $ale of the Century's Winner's Big Money Game. The bonus game itself felt a tad out of place though as incorrect questions only earned a strike, rather than subtracting money. Granted the $5,000 was in "jeopardy" once a player had 2 strikes. The top row of answers were I believe the easiest clues too so my strategy would have always been to play the top row of clues first. Were I to revise this specific format, I'd have two new challengers play the Jeopardy round, with the high scorer moving on to play the champion during the Double Jeopardy round. I would also rename it "Jeopardy Head To Head" as the first two rounds of play would be head to head competition with the day's champion playing against the house "head to head" for a bonus prize. I would have had various bonus cash prizes hidden behind all 25 boxes and if the player got 5 in a row, the cash award attached to the winning box would be awarded, otherwise I think $250 per box claimed would be a nice consolation prize. The only other changes I'd make is I'd have 5 categories during the first two rounds of play instead of 6, and with the bonus board, I'd shuffle up the clues so that the easiest ones all did not necessarily end up on the 1st row.
Can you do a 15 minute Game show review on the original version of Jeopardy from the 60s and early 70s
If I have time, yes.

Wheel and Jeopardy, for a short time(1978-1979)would be on NBC. Whoda thunk it to pair up beginning in the fall of 1984?
I watched the original and the revival and agree with your assessment, though I remember being bummed when the revival was cancelled. Doing away with Final Jeopardy was a huge mistake, though I wonder if it was done to save $$$ (NBC was struggling as the #3 network at the time). Although I grew to like Alex as host (I had liked him om High Rollers and Double Dare), he struck me as arrogant and douchey for a long time after he assumed the helm on Jeopardy! Art Fleming was always cordial and genial.

I don’t have any episodes of game shows. Sorry.
I don't like the word "Failed".The time goes too fast.
Art Fleming truly did the show best. I don’t care if most people rest their hearts with Alex, I rest my heart with Art.
Art Fleming was a good host and he set the bar pretty high. Alex Trebek knew not to be Art Fleming, though and he was able to make it his show. But both were great in their own right.
@@NerdNest83 It's too bad that Alex and Art weren't onstage at anytime.I did see a photo of Johnny Gilbert and Don Pardo together at some function.
Art Fleming was definitely the Gentleman.Enjoyed his voice,but the rounds often left a lot of answers.Made things extremely hard for those rounds and the Super Jeopardy bonus round.I hated the Strike buzzer noise.I think it was 90 seconds or maybe 2 minutes for the winning contestant to complete the round and win whatever cash it was,i..$5,000,$7,500,$10,000etc.I'm glad i wasn't born until 1970.
