Jeopardy! (March 1985): Steve/Lonny/Debbi

Here (in a rare appearance) is a Jeopardy episode from around March 1985 that I found in my recent haul of Beta tapes (I approximate the date because, in a news break before this, they mention the Oscars).

Steve had a great day the previous day, winning a dollar short of $12,000. Will he bring home even more in day 2? No copyright infringement is intended.

I've left the commercials in as well.

I'm still wondering why no one bothered to choose the "Browns" category in round one...that would have been interesting to see...

[gamelover1949]

It is an interesting category, for sure.

I can only guess this was recorded to tape from an antenna signal -- correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't judge based on quality, though. A great first-season episode. Funny to see a couple of technical glitches crop up through the game. But, hey. It was the first season. Things can only (hopefully) get better, tech-wise. :D

[gamelover1949]

Not sure where it came from (I only inherited the tape), but you could be right. Things did indeed improve tech-wise; you never see those errors today (though it probably be edited out of the final print). Thanks for the comment!

Isn't funny how things on old school TV are cheesy in retrospect, LOL! I'm more interested in the commercials - WOW! Really, beans and spaghetti!? And check out the hair.

I forgot Regis Philbin used host on WABC

I hope someone has the first season finale and can post it. That one was the last of the red set (ending with Alan Leboritz winning his second game-he went on to the second season premiere).

Thank you for putting this up

In what season dfid they start clraring the board? I have kept up with this show ever since 1984. Wow

[gamelover1949]

It sure won't be very frequent. It probably will be awhile before I consider it again.

@gamelover1949

Oh, cause I was ready to say, why are you uploading Jeopardy episodes anyway despite what happened on your main channel?

@gamelover1949

Not a problem. ^^
