I give you the entire thread to refer to how it started and where it really started to turn ugly.

Password is one of the most searched words on the internet.  It's either Allen Ludden fans or people looking for pron.

Or it's one of the old-fashioned ways of saving your process in a video game that, at the time, looked like you couldn't beat in just one sitting.

The sad thing is he was building some serious cred thanks to his ability to listen to criticisms, bug reports and suggestions and do whatever it took to please his "customers". The polar opposite of BigJon.

It is almost surreal that people went from vigorously defending him (Chris L's is especially and unusually passionate*), to making him a despised pariah thanks to a single post. On my set up, the swerve is on the same page.

*Don't take that as a slam, Chris. It's just that I've never seen you get that "worked-up" over something like that.

I'm assuming you're talking about the legal strongarming over the domain name. You want to get me ranting, get me talking about our farked-up legal system.

I found the Winning Streak money round completely playable. Strip out the six least used letters. I've played with three ways to score: powers-of-two, Fibonacci sequence and Scrabble-style. Everyone I know has enjoyed it to a degree.

Damn, I missed Jonsy's postings in that one...those were quite interesting.

I like the fact that Jamie's copy of that one surviving, full episode of Winning Streak, is from the original studio master, with all of the original parting gift/be right back bumpers.

That, to me, has always been part of the fun of seeing an episode of a game show (especially from the 70's and 80's) EXACTLY in its original form.

/And, if it's available, the production slate.

Based on clips that were shown during the TOC held in the first syndicated season, the Joker's Jackpot was in place as late as Dec. 1973. Jack showed a clip of one of the 25k winners from her initial appearance and the jackpot amount was clearly illuminated on Jack's podium. Same TOC, we see another playing the bonus we are all familiar with and that was dated June 1974. That narrows it a bit.

Good catch!  It's been a long time since I've seen those '77 tournament episodes.

Based on that information, I'll try to narrow it down a bit more.  In January 1974, they had a special celebrity week, which some of us here say was a one-week try-out of the original pilot version with the stars asking the questions.  I don't think I ever saw that week so I'll have to go with what others have said.  I'm thinking the format changes of eliminating the Joker's Jackpot and the switch to the Money and Devils bonus round might have taken place immediately after that week.  If that's the case, that would place the changes in mid-January 1974.

And at that point, 5 games were needed to win the car, but Ian if you can estimate a guess, I'm thinking it's the same Chevrolet car that was offered to the people who break the Joker's Jackpot is that correct?
