I love the original Jeopardy! :)

0:31, And Now, Here is the Host of JEOPARDY!, ALEX TREBEK!

They should have included the famous 1985 TWA commercial. Love that one.

That is called Prem Eco nowadays.

My cousins were in this show!

7:43 Even in 1999, people looked up to Uncle Walter.

Yes, I recall the Up Up and Away TWA jingle! Somebody needs to post some.

Trebek's good, but sometimes he likes to show off with a bunch of "I know it all, done it all, seen it all" blather. I kind of like it when he starts in, a contestant will talk over him and select a category.

Art Fleming a precursor to Alex Trebek!

Great set of commercials -- I especially loved the 1960's ones. Just too bad they didn't include one from the greatest airline campaign of them all -- "Up, up and away, TWA" to the tune of the 5th Dimension's 1967 hit "Up, Up and Away". Ran from 1967 thru 1968. That song just BEGGED to become an airline jingle!!!

I always remember Art Fleming saying in each episode during Final Jeopardy "Please be sure it's in the form of a question."

I wonder how many episodes of the original Jeopardy! exist.

This is Jeopardy not Price is Right. The Trebek era show is more serious and regimented. That's why Trebek is perfect.

Wrong. A host is supposed to encouarge contestants and put them at ease, not judge them and make comments about how they play.

The industry has gone from a fine restaruant to a fast food place----and unless things change, it'll soon be a soup kitchen. The old commercials tell the story----making flying a wonderful thing, a treat----a privilege. Commercials today? They brag about not charging you to include your bags on the flight. Wow, how the mighty have fallen. We've gone from the wonder of flying to a pain in the ass in about 40 years.

Trebek is way better. He's cold and ruthless. Exactly the way he should be.

MERV GRIFFIN -- YOU CHEAP SON OF A BITCH!

In 1974 that was a lot of money.

I like the current version, but the Art Fleming era is the original and best. Despite the glitzy set, technical advances and computerized mechanics, the original "Jeopardy!" is still my favorite. Trebek makes too many editorial comments, sometimes embarrassing contestants on how poorly they did or what they missed. Art Fleming never did that. The show is hard and anyone who gets on deserves a lot of praise.

I miss the old "Jeopardy!" In those days, whatever amount of money the contestants ended up with, they kept it. And the music was great. From the opening theme to the original "Think Music" used on "Final Jeopardy!" I wish NBC didn't destroy all the tapes. I would have loved to have seen more "Art Fleming" episodes. He was my favorite game show host. R.I.P. ART. I don't like Trebek's version of "Jeopardy!" at all!!!

Don PARDO!!!!

Don Pedro...

@primogennaio Not to mention the music that was played when the curtains parted to reveal the "Jeopardy" and "Double Jeopardy" boards.

@raymar316 Yeah, I think it was Affirmed that won the Triple Crown later on (although I think he won it in 1977 or 1978, rather than 1976).

Art Fleming was the best. Anyway, these contestants weren't too swift. How could they not know the Dublin and Versailles questions?

the eifel tower?? really?

I love it when the players went to the Sports category early on in the round. Today, you usually see Jeopardy contestants avoid sports-related categories like the plague until it was absolutely necessary to go to them.

Such fun to watch this and spark my childhood memories. What I'd forgotten and it seemed immediately strange was the contestants being able to ring in at any point during the reading of the "answer." Thanks for posting this!

@raymar316 Definitely WAY better than Trebek! Agreed!

Art Fleming was all class.

@68lincoln one too many bows there Art, I like Trebec but what bothers me is when the contestants fail to get one of the answers he reads it as if he knows all them... Art did it here with the Dublin question..

@beatleboy9020001 Well, it was daytime TV. Besides, after the quiz scandals of the 50s, NBC was reluctant to give away too much. It debuted in 1964, a time when the scandals were still pretty fresh in some peoples' minds.

After almost 30 years, Alex has done a great job.

I remember Jeopardy from the 1960s and 70s very well. I watched it often. I really love this more simple set design than the hig tech set used on today's version. And I think Art Fleming has a lot more personality than Alex Trubeck who I find to be gloomy.

That was the 1972 theme. The 1973 theme had a Salsa beat to it. The first two seasons, it was like a bilingual cross of Seasme Street & Electric Company, teaching Spanish words & cartoon segments. But they scrapped that format in 1974 to probably avoid a lawsuit from CTW.

Answer: The one-and-only Dynamic Duo of Jeopardy! Question: Who's Art Fleming and Don Pardo?

I loved the old version of "Jeopardy". This is very nostalgic for me.

@LordThree As for the 1974-75 nighttime syndicated version, I assume all of those exist as well.

Of course nostalgia will make your preferences of "who is better" biased.

Eiffel tower wtf? so dumb lol

wow didnt offer alot for money on the boards then

GSN needs to show these

I remember this...from the season before they had the good theme song.

I LOVE the older Jeopardy! The old boards, the old music, the old Daily Double sounds...and of course, Art Fleming and Don Pardo!

ROFL, look at those tiny dollar amounts.

@WSenator1 I was 8 when this episode aired, and back then I was a game-show fanatic.

@Deltari09 LOL. It would be a headless BART operator (: hahaha

@iluvSpectacular011 hehe...that would suck if they forgot to get back in before the train goes through the tunnel

woah...i could compare that acceleration noise to that of a boeing 717 (and that's really good)
