Jeopardy! 10/2/1978 premiere (with commercials) - Part 1

Interesting the AFRTS aired game shows in the late '70s. When I was in Germany in the early '70s, AFTV in Berlin didn't air any game shows (though it may have had more to do with the fact that they were only on the air from 4pm to 11pm daily than the fact they couldn't get any).

Is that the same studio where Password Plus was taped?

@masonben2011 Well, keep in mind, not everyone watched "Jeopardy!" when it first aired on NBC from 1964-1975.

I never saw Jeopardy! with Art Fleming. I was born in 1984, the year in which it premiered with Alex Trebek.

OMG! That guy applauding in the audience with the suit IS the middle contestant Richard. That's SOOO funny! That plus the showing the first two groups of applauding audience members twice means bad editing on the part of this "Jeopardy!" 's crew. hahaha. Good eyes there!

This is the version that both Merv Griffin and Art Fleming didn't like, even the fact that it only aired for a couple months. Thanks for the perfect upload, when will the second and final part come in?

@masonben2011 The closing credits them here would also be used as one of Wheel's prize plugs.

@Hondo20132 Yep, after (obligatory GS meme) "Woolery left Wheel." lol

@Hondo20132 The theme music was "Frisco Disco" by Mort Lindsey. There are two different versions of it available for downloads if you can find them. One is the original version, the other, second, version was the one used for Jeopardy '78 and Wheel.
