Ahhh, back when Game Show Network was still worth watching....and when The Joker's Wild still used "The Savers" by Perrey-Kingsley for its theme song. R.I.P. Jack Barry
That first match was easily one of the best ones the entire CBS series had ever had. TJW was must-see viewing for me during its "Joker's Jackpot" days!
At that time CBS aired JOKER at 10:00 ET/9:00 PT convinced THE DINAH SHORE SHOW would bury it because Jack Barry was still labeled game show poison at that time, how wrong they were, it had a near 3 year run on CBS and a successful syndication run.
A '73 Vega, man. Life was never fuller than when I drove my 'beautiful date to the prom in my own '73 Vega . I wish I could relive 1985 all over again.
I am 52 years old and the first car that I remember my family had was a 1972 yellow Vega. My dad bought it to surprise my mom for her birthday. We were living in South Lake Tahoe, California at the time. My mom and dad worked at the same casino, The Sahara Tahoe, he was a bartender and she was a cocktail waitress.
And after Joker's Wild demise on CBS in 1975 thanks to NBC's loaded weapon (Celebrity Sweepstakes), Jack Barry hosted a pilot episode called "Double Cross" which would later morphed into "Bullseye" a few years later.
Celebrity Sweepstakes took out The Joker's Wild while Wheel of Fortune took out Now You See It; then Gambit a year later. However, Gambit was cancelled also because CBS wanted only Goodson-Todman produced shows. Gambit was Heatter-Quigley produced.
@@lakebay972 CBS had such a respective repertoire for Goodson-Todman game shows at that time along with What's My Line, To Tell The Truth, I've Got A Secret, and Password beforehand and The Price Is Right, Now You See It, Match Game (1973-79), Double Dare (1976-77), The All New Beat The Clock, Child's Play, both 1970s and 1980s versions of Tattletales, latter day Card Sharks and Family Feud, and a 1989 reboot of Now You See It afterwards. The only time a Jack Barry produced show ever ended up on CBS from then was a 1978 reboot of Tic Tac Dough which unsurprisenly, failed so miserably against another Goodson-Todman show Card Sharks on NBC that Barry himself pulled the show out after 8 weeks never to work directly with the network until 1981 and moved it to syndication where it would be just as successful then as Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy is now. The rest is history.
1973 HD screens were available...but not to the general public yet. And using those bulky cameras using analog screens...they looked so dimmed the screens looked horrible. But of course Snoop had fixed that.
This is a terrible copy man. These were "taped" in SD, standard definition, 480 lines of vertical resolution, here's a better copy .... ruclips.net/video/g7Wq_qbLnZY/видео.html
The prizes are top notch; a 17" TV and if that well dressed lady had of won she would have gotten a Vega. In the very first episode the big prize was a Chevy Chevelle but it wasn't an SS so the engine was only a 283 (unlike the 70 SS that came with a 454) but I think they only cost $2,500 - $3,000. Vega's were comparable to Pinto's A.K.A. Chariot of fire (in the, mid?, 70's Pinto's had gas tank issues which meant if you got rear ended there was a chance the car would explode). A buddy of mine had a Vega when we were teenagers which we completely beat the shit out of (sure we had to replace the engine 3 times but that only took an hour or so) but it ran for two years and 5 of us used it to get our licences. 🤣 We got pulled over in it by the cops one day in Niagara Falls because it burned oil so bad we completely smoked out the intersection at the bottom of Clifton Hill just West of the Rainbow Bridge), but the cop was nice and just made us park it and walk until we went home.

19:30 - Jack Barry says, "But your cash could be in jeopardy". I guess I hinted at some foreshadowing of another show Johnny Gilbert announced. (Well, Sony Pictures Television owns "Jeopardy!" and "The Joker's Wild".)
I loved this show but now that I'm watching reruns I sure am noticing how much Jack Barry talks! I don't know if that was just him or a requirement of the show, but the constant explaining of stuff over and over again takes up too much time lol! I just want to watch them play!
The show was in its infancy and was still trying to attract first-time audiences. Note, this was pre-Internet; so information about the show or its rules didn't come in handy; and TV Guide back then was very vague.
Don't forget a rigged game show almost cost Jack Barry his career in television. In 1958, Charles Van Doren admitted that he cheated after he won $129,000 on "21". Barry was involved and between 1958-68, he could not work in television.
HMM We are talking about Jack Barry here. This show was probably under stricter scrutiny than let's say "The Price is Right" or "Gambit" as Mr. Barry was involved in rigging game shows 14 years earlier. There were CBS eyes all over the place!
Well, She didn't win... the game wasn't over, so she never won the game. According to the rules of the game three jokers is an instant win - if the question is answered. The player going second always got a final spin, so even though $650 looks more than $550, the 3 jokers fairly locked in the win for Steve. Trust me... Jack Barry & Joker's Wild was under tight scrutiny after the quiz show scandals. It was 100% legit.
Hold up. If you win the game with a score of $500 and Linda hit $550; why didn't she win that game? Why did the guy keep getting turns to beat her. I don't think that's fair at all. I guess I don't blame the second winner for not going on to play another game. It doesn't seem to pay off after all that work. Even so, I think I would have kept going. I don't like the end game by the way. I like the other version better.
They play full turns. If the champ (who spins first) reaches the goal first, the challenger still gets to close out the turn trying to tie or win. If they answer wrong or can't spin up enough matching icons (to increase that category's value), the game ends right there (with the champ not even needing to steal in the former case). Regarding the 3 Jokers, Jack always said a correct answer on such a spin is an automatic win. Bear in mind spinning triple Jokers is already hard enough as is ([1/6]^3, the same odds as any Natural Triple). This was averted only in tournament play, where player 2 still got their final spin if player 1 answered correctly on 3 Jokers. Finally, about ties at $500 or greater, they still keep playing full turns with all the rules aforementioned until someone outscores the other. Think of it like extra innings in baseball.
@@HarlemHyena wow! thanks for that explanation. This game is more complicated than I first thought. But i get that it's goal is to give the challenger a fighting chance when the cards give the champ a sure win.

I agree
And shes not smiling about it !

So 3 jokers won him the game anyway, despite the fact he was only trailing her by $100?
Yup, Jack was clear. It had to be something that gave a natural triple, or the 3 jokers.
I have seen her smile a few times
