What? No Final Jeopardy!?

- In the 1978-79 run of Jeopardy! only the two high scorers went on to play Double Jeopardy!, and then only the high scorer went on to play Super Jeopardy! which started off at $5,000 and increased $2,500 each time the champion came back to play.

The only problem with the bonus game was it was a little bit of a drag in time compared to Final Jeopardy! But the two timeslots it got though, was really the problem of this revival for me.
Well there's also the fact too that there were eliminations every round, so the 3 players each day that started Jeopardy didn't finish it. That was a huge departure in itself from the old/current format.
Back then when Jeopardy returned in the late 70s, the Final Jeopardy was also known as Super Jeopardy!
Super Jeopardy was a substitute for Final Jeopardy on NBC Television in the 1978-1979 Season. The winning contestant played in the Super Jeopardy round for $5,000 .... and up to $15,000. I hope that would answer your question. Good Luck!!
On “Jeopardy!” from October 2, 1978 to March 2, 1979, after Double Jeopardy!, the winner could play Super Jeopardy! instead of Final Jeopardy! from the original format.
Art Fleming was a great Jeopardy host,excited too,the only thing that was crazy was him constantly rushing contestants be it the game or the Super Jeopardy bonus round saying Go or quickly.Sometimes it would be 90 seconds or 2 minutes (bonus round I mean.)I don't think it's fair that a pass would be a strike like an incorrect question as well.
I was born in 1979. I guess the Super Jeopardy round was the endgame of this incarnation.
March 2 of that year was the final day for this incarnation. CBS's The Price is Right had better ratings!
@@ClassicTVMan1981XYeah, this would be the program downfall before off aired
After that, it back with the new rules
-No more elimination round, all three contestants will play both Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy
-Contestant had to end up $1 or above to be play Final Jeopardy
Susan didn't want Art anywhere near her during celebration time, did she?
a precursor to covid
A clash of generations... The innocent fatherly hug, on national tv, of an older gentleman, versus the "Get away from me, you filthy sexist pig" of the feminazi generation... "They've come a long way, baby!" 🙄
A pass counted as a strike that’s stupid
This is surprisingly good quality. What format was this copied from?
the last jeopardy fleming hosted 38 years ago this week
That "strike" buzzer is nasty.
jhillst Tell me about it! That sound, in fact, combined with how UGLY the strikes looked, scared me as a kid (my 11th birthday occured roughly during the middle of this version of Jeopardy's run).
PS -- the first time I ever saw the current version of Jeopardy! in 1986, since this was the first version of Jeopardy! that I was all that familiar with, I fully expected there to be the Super Jeopardy round after Double Jeopardy. But nope -- it was, of course, Final Jeopardy, which I was only vaguely familiar with, since I was born during the original Jeopardy!'s run.
That's the NBC Claxon, if I'm not mistaken.
I hated the strikes.Liked when Art Fleming was excited saying "Right you are when someone won the bonus of $5,000.Yes,he was known as "The Gentleman",and a darn good one,but they left too many clues on the board,and him saying quickly and go,seemed due to time constraints, contestants had a tough time concentrating on trying to win money.If someone didn't choose a category before time ran out,did that constitute a strike?
This round inspired the Gold Run/Gold Rush for Blockbusters about a year later.
@Christopher Hagee That same bonus round was called Super Password like the show's title in 1984 although it was played the same way as the alphabetics on Password Plus.
The game play changes they made to the 1978 version of Jeopardy! are the reason why it only lasted a few months.
I mean, I know they made a few changes when they brought the show back in 1984, but the game play itself was a LOT closer to the original.
Gee, I wonder how long that version lasted...
Tubewings 5 months exactly, from 10/2/78 to 3/2/79.
@@fredmckinney8933 Tubes meant the current one, sarcastically since it's still on to this day.
I know right? Who would want to play a version like that or even let alone be on the show? Surely contestants could never win millions on a show like that.
@@stolasgoetia93 They couldn't back then even if good anyway. Winnings limits were capped for Network, as would have been their appearances.
2:21 That clue make me laugh.
Excellent
If The Contestant Gets The 3rd Strike, She’s Out!
Laetril (or however you spell it)! I remembered LAETRIL!!
I'm pretty sure is Leatril.Did Art Fleming have the same board of categories as the player when he/she faced the board.How did he know where the answers were?
The music for Jeopardy 78-79 was so outdated for its kind. They could have updated the music.
Was this from the final episode of this version?
Yes. It was. The last "Jeopardy!" episode Art Fleming ever hosted.
Yes! It was the final episode that Art Fleming would host. Five and a half years later, it would resurface as the high tech version hosted by Alex Trebek which we know and love today.
@Christopher Hagee Back when I was growing up, whenever I got a chance to watch this, only the first time I saw it did the contestant win the Super Jeopardy! round.
@Christopher Hagee Because they're not correct answers. Seeing as the objective is to get a string of correct answers, why shouldn't a pass be a strike?
