@paktype I agree with you! I loved the plastic Dixie cupholders and I love the simple set design of Jeopardy of the 1960s and 70s. It was much nicer than the high tech computerized set of Jeopardy today. And Art Fleming has a much nicer personality than Alex Trubeck who I find to be gloomy and overly serious.

Is it me, or does Art Fleming look just a little like Norm McDonald?

And today, you could theoretically win $35,600 in the first round alone (assuming you hit the Daily Double last, it was in a $200 slot, and you made it a true Daily Double). The one-show theoretical max is $566,400 which would involve making some wagers that no sane person would actually make (such as wagering everything you have in Final Jeopardy even though the other two contestants wouldn't be there since they'd have no money at the end of regulation play).

wow this looks really different from the Jeopardy I see on TV today...

Shows how far studio sets have come. Lmao@ Backgrounds being curtains.
Also the use of the word Retard would be frown upon now.

Didn't someone where over $10,000 on Jeopardy! once?

Jeopardy was better when it was filmed here :-)

Wow. I grew up near Somerville. Strange to hear it on this program.
Wasn't my dentist though.

@wmbrown6 Actually, that instrumental passage was from "The Overture" on the "Tommy" LP.

At first, Mel looks a little likeMonty Python's Terry Jones.

Interesting that here, they opened with the instrumental of The Who's "We're Not Gonna Take It" from "Tommy." Not to mention this being one of the few color videotapes of this classic show to still exist.
