I don't have it it's stuff I'd live to see that's not on the trading circuit.

Also I would live to see the following:

-70s singer/songwriter Andrew Gold and his family on Feud in 1991
-one-hit wonder Walter En, his episodes of Scrbble, Catch Phrase, and J!

-1987 Secrets amd Rumors pilot
-pyramid episode with Reagan's daughter
-1987 "I Predict" pilot
-Home Shopping Game pilot with Dean Goss as host
-Tattletles episode with Mchael J. Fox
-Any game show episodes with Allan Kayser (who played Bubba on Mama's Family)
-Combs Feud episodes with Rod Roddy sub-announcing

Michael J Fox was on Tattletales? Maybe he was on the later 80s version, but that was before he met his wife. I think he might've been dating Nancy Mc.Keon at the time.

There really wasn't. You weren't going to get more than that in the way of content. There's a reason that the pattern became two games daily. The three winner's circles was a total rarity.

And the only real reason you would see three is if the previous day had one because of tiebreakers.

Last, but certainly not least, the first color episode of Flemming J!

Wasn't the original Jeopardy! recorded in colour from the very beginning?

Mine is the Australian episode of $ale of the Century where the champion won the lot plus the record-setting [color="#0000FF"]$508,000[/color] cash jackpot.

And this record-setting win didn't send my good buddy Reg into bankruptcy? Aw, what a shame.

According to EOTVGS he was. Oh yea, I would also like to see gs episodes with our own Randy West as contestant besides PYL and Hit Man.

I'd like to see the Face the Music pilot with 4 contestants and the more angular set pieces.

I'd love to see Norwegian "Cross-Wits".

Just because.

That reminds me that in the early days of cable, one of our educational stations transmitted SCOLA, which at the time was (and perhaps still is) a wild mish-mash of programming from around the world. Through that, somewhere in my VHS stash, I have a Spanish Lingo and a Russian Trivial Pursuit.

Just because.

Some great picks, especially those older 60s shows like Say When, Call My Bluff and Seven Keys. I'm hoping beyond hope some kinescopes exist for a few 50s shows I would love to see for the first time. Top of the list: Keep Talking, followed by For Love or Money, a CBS daytimer that had a gimmick called "The dancing decimal point." Saw a Life Magazine still shot of it, and I have a British home version. Who Pays? and 100 Grand. A couple of other games that are out there I'd like to see are B&E's High-Low and Dough Re Mi, Big Game, and Dr. IQ.

Yes, and GSN ran the episodes. I think he was on with Kari Michaelson, from "Gimme a Break".

Yes, but only a handful of episodes exist, plus a few black and white clips.

Wikipedia (usual caveats) says that the original Jeopardy! didn't record in color until later into 1964.

Yes, those Wikipedia grids also claim that NBC had a program called "The Today Show" at 7:00 A.M. (At least they link to the correct title.)

I have a TV Guide from May 1964 that lists "Jeopardy!" as being in color; I think it's a lot more likely that it was in color from the beginning than that it switched from black-and-white to color a month and a half into its run.
