  • Here's another rarity - a full episode (albeit the audio only) of Jeopardy!, back when Art Fleming was the host and Don Pardo was the announcer, as aired over WMAQ Channel 5. This episode is not known to exist in any form until now.
    The contestants on this show are Mrs. Jean Hoyda(?), housewife from Danboro, PA; Mr. Bill Pemble(?), information specialist (with the Department of Agriculture) from Arlington, VA; and reigning champion Mrs. Joan Wiesman(?), housewife from Kew Gardens, NY (who had won $400 so far)
    Includes:
    Station ID (voiceover by ??), followed by brief top-of-hour ~750 Hz time tone and 1962 "Laramie Peacock" animated opening (voiceover by Mel Brandt)
    Jeopardy! opening, with Don introducing contestants, Art coming out and speaking with his contestants
    Commercial: Cold Power laundry detergent
    [Commercial cut?]
    First round, categories are Relatives, Transportation, Hodgepodge, Animals, Singers and Dancers, and Fairytales; Art explains rules. Joan selects Singers and Dancers, then Relatives, then returns to Singers and Dancers, then goes to Fairytales again, then to Transportation; at that point Bill picks Transportation entries. With Joan ahead of Bill and Jean now in the minus column.
    .
    Commercial: Dream Whip
    Commercial: General Mills' Top Choice dog food
    Round 2, with Bill starting off selecting Transportation, then Hodgepodge, at which point Joan selects Fairytales, then Relatives and Hodgepodge which Bill continues, all the way to the Daily Double, then passes to Relatives and Animals.
    Commercial: Eureka 240 vacuum cleaner
    Plug for Grolier's Encyclopedia International (voiceover by Don Pardo)
    Back to the game, with the "Double Jeopardy" round; categories are Journalism, Silly Songs, Business and Industry, Military History, Words and World Geography; two Daily Doubles are concealed among them. Jean starts off with Words, then Silly Songs, which Joan answers and then picks Military History, after which Bill picks Journalism, then after Jean answers with a question she picks Silly Songs, Words, and Business and Industry; then Bill goes for Journalism (again), after which Joan selects Silly Songs, and is way in the lead over Bill and Jean when Art segues to next break
    (Eureka commercial, which is cut out of this recording).
    Art then comes back to Double Jeopardy, whereby Joan starts off by selecting Business and Industry, then Jean carries on in that category, which Bill "asks" and then picks Journalism followed by World Geography and then Business and Industry and Military History, the latter of which Joan carries on. The bell signals the end of the Double Jeopardy round, then Art previews the Final Jeopardy round to come. At this point, Joan leads with $460, Bill $170 and Jean $150.
    Commercial: Imperial Margarine
    Commercial: Cold Water All laundry detergent (ending voiceover by Jackson Beck)
    Final Jeopardy category is Famous Names: "The new vice president of the Oakland Athletics baseball team"; Art then signals for final break.
    Commercial: Carnation Instant Breakfast
    Commercial: Friskies Buffet cat food
    The final tally: Jean, $200 and Bill, $290 (plus the latest Encyclopedia International); and Joan, $800 and returning for a third time next day. With that, Art closes the show.
    Plug for where to write to appear on or be in audience of Jeopardy! (voiceover by Don Pardo)
    (sounds like a brief technical difficulty with the theme song tape rewinding)
    After a few seconds of silence, theme music is struck up (voiceover [by Don Pardo] advises viewers to tune to Eye Guess with Bill Cullen)
    Brief 'G-E-C' (which would have been accompanied by NBC 'snake logo' animation and 'PRODUCED WITH THE NBC-TV NETWORK' notice)
    Promo for a re-run of the premiere of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In as a weekly series, with Barbara Feldon, Pamela Austin, Flip Wilson and Tiny Tim as guests that week (voiceover by Don Pardo)
    Commercial: Aurora tissues
    Commercial: "New, Improved" Gala paper towels
    Commercial: Lanvin Soft Body Fragrance
    'NBC on Channel 5' (sounds almost like a younger Jim Hill?)
    This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, May 6th 1968 during the 11:00am to 11:30am timeframe.

    Nobody won a total of $1,000 on Jeopardy on that show in 1968. The country was still recuperating from the tragic death of Martin Luther King, and soon thereafter, another tragedy: Robert Kennedy (President John Kennedy's brother)---all would die before they turned 50. Old Jeopardy, whose categories never went higher than $100 per selection, often didn't have anyone win $1,000 on a single show as contestants do now on Jeopardy with assorted hosts (after Alex passed away).

      Actually it was 1997 when Jeopardy stopped using the 1960s FJ think music when the show switched to a new theme.

      @LEGOGames1000YT 4 года назад

      mbclev Which had 2 permutations. In the first 2 weeks (I think so), the theme was entirely played on Piano. But, since then it was changed to a trumpet lead at the end. It was used all the way until Season 25, when yet another version was introduced, but you should find that.

      @@LEGOGames1000YT Interesting thing too...the version of that tune that was used from 84 to 97, was actually slightly different from the original, as it was a little higher pitched. Not sure how many have ever noticed that, but if you play them back to back you can hear the difference.

      @D Heine - One wonders what Lin Bolen would have thought of this turn of events. Remember, as head of daytime programming for NBC in the early to mid '70's, she oversaw the cancellation of the Bob Clayton "Concentration" and "Jeopardy!," considering Fleming on the latter another "dinosaur," while propping up the likes of Trebek and Geoff Edwards. Who would've thought that Trebek is not only older than Fleming was when the original "Jeopardy!" was cancelled in 1975, but the syndie version he has helmed has lasted more than three times as long.

    Fascinating to listen to! The ending was a little awkward: It sounded like at the 26:30 mark, there was trouble playing the closing theme music, and then the audience wasn’t sure whether to applaud or not. Sounds like the show must have gone “live to tape” for that to happen!

    • @garyeisenberg745
      @garyeisenberg745 4 года назад +3

      When the closing theme resumes, it is the clearest on nearly any of the episodes on RUclips. Finding a full run of the closing theme that is clear has been an ongoing dream for me, still unmet.

    • @garyeisenberg745
      @garyeisenberg745 Год назад

      But now met because it is preserved on the pilot episode from 1964 that has a full credits run and the best quality of the Take Ten theme I have heard since the show went off the air in 1975. PS: Based on the length of time hearing the closing theme without any voiceover, I am guessing that this would have been one of the rare times Jeopardy! ran the full credits. The show was perennially rushed at the end, leading to the omission of credits and the omission of the playing of Take Ten! in many episodes. That is probably why in 1998 when Game Show Themes was a category on Jeopardy!, the last answer, the original Jeopardy! theme, none of the contestants could identify it.
