The Jokers Wild Game Show - part 3 of 5 (1990)

[Hondo20132]

I love the quality on Episode 2! Very clear video and audio!

[gameshowguy2000]

Ditto..if I'm not mistaken, this era of the show was where shows straddled, right?

[Hondo20132]

I think only the category version.

[Hondo20132]

But he probably posted it here so more people can see it.

But why not seperate the 2 episodes?

[covergirl678]

thank you so much for posting this and all of you who post past games shows i love them and enjoy watching all of them

[kes1963]

the version of TJW wasnt that bad, but the TTD with Patrick Wayne was awful

[gameshowguy2000]

A $26,500 Joker Jackpot? That's $9500 away from the $36K jackpot that Mary won (pressmin has that clip), the biggest winner in the Category era. Thomas Van Dyke with over $54K+ was the biggest winner in the Dollar era.

[Hondo20132]

I have a question. Was Thomas Van Dyke's jackpot win the last one before Mary's?

[gameshowguy2000]

I don't know for sure..but as I pointed out, Van Dyke's win was in the Dollar era, Mary's was in the Category era. mtiller2006 I believe has both those eps on his channel. Check them out.

[Hondo20132]

I know about Michael having them up and all. I just wanted to know that jackpot question.

[Nickle98499]

Interesting, this is two episodes one right after the other

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

why is it in 5 different parts?

[Thefamilyalbum]

because they gave me a ten minute limit for each video.

[TonyDuMont]

From the chosen image I knew who would win the game.

[vintagetv]

I particularly didn't like this version. I do remember the one with Jack Barry somewhat and when Bill Cullen took over in 1984. I often wonder though where in the world did they pick up Pat Finn to host the show, though.

[vnisanian2001]

When they changed formats, this version of TJW started straddling, and was no longer self-contained.

[mtiller2006]

Not quite, actually. Apparently, this was to try and keep it from straddling when it straddled in the dollar format. This version did last a little bit longer, as far as I know.

[JackSpader]

That's what I was thinking, why didn't they use time limits on the rounds and have a sound effect? Then they wouldn't have to adhere to winning a game at a certain dollar amount. And this way, both rounds can have higher stakes and games can be self contained.

You can make the stakes bigger without having to change the "hit a dollar amount to win."
