Si. No car for five-time champions though. No Geo Metros or Ford Festivas. :-P

Do please correct me if I'm mistaken, but could players continue until defeated on TJW90? The longest I remember someone lasting is Jack (something--starts with a C) who I think went ten or so days before being dethroned.
As a post-script, a guy named Loy Ray was a contestant once. And only once.

Thomas Van Dyke had the longest winning streak. He won 13 games and roughly $60K in cash and prizes, including a Joker's Jackpot. Mary was the name of the contestant who won the $36K Joker Jackpot. Loy Ray also won several games of Caldwell TTD.

Many thanks. NOW!!! I know Mark Gluckman won 13 games on Jack Barry's syndicated version earning around $33K while Eileen Jason (you beat Frank Dillon---bad karma! bad karma!) had 15 wins, but how many wins was Joe Dunn allowed before he was retired because of that O & O rule?

16, according to Wikipedia. I could run upstairs and get the tape, but I think trusting Wikipedia is easier.

Well, TJW at least got to finish the season out...don't know how much of that was reruns, but TTD was cancelled midway thru the season.


I think TTD only did about 13 weeks.  It disappeared from my area by January 1991, and when I saw it on USA in the early '90s, there were only about 13 weeks worth of shows which were repeated several times  - and there was no "goodbye" on the final show.  Too bad...  :)

"All About..." and "Hold Everything" was also on KCOP in Los Angeles for their test run that bombed out (and despite it being a test run, they were still put under Syndex provisions, so people watching WWOR on its superstation status could not see how bad they were).

A lot of testing went on that summer at 'OR and 'COP--I believe they also tested the Aussie soap "Neighbours."  It also bombed--which, with the exception of the first 13 weeks of "Prisioner:  Cell Block H," seems to be the natural fate of Aussie soaps in the U.S., while they seem to be popular everywhere else.

Mary was the name of the contestant who won the $36K Joker Jackpot.

And she only won that 1 game, although a grand total of $38K's nothing to shake a stick at. :-)

Is this the same gal who looked like she couldn't care less that she won the big money? I remember seeing Pat look A LOT more excited than she was, which made for some awkward moments at the beginning of the program (the bonus round was carried over from a long previous game).

I saw the $36K winner on a downloaded clip, and that contestant was certainly excited (and a little shocked).

While the host sucked; I didn't think the format was bad at all; the resetting jackpot isn't that big of a deal...and the "Dragonslayer" was similar to geting "Tic" and "Tac".[/quote]

My issues with the pot resetting was that the contestants worked so hard to get the jackpot that high, only for it to be wiped out in a tie game situation.  This meant that if someone were to win in game 2, they could possibly walk out with less than what was built beforhand.

As for the Dragonslayer, well...Vanilla Ice called.  He wants his white boy rapper gimmick back.

She was indeed...also, they added a rather miniscule "$36,000.00" (yes, they actually included the cents) flashing graphic when she won, which did little to boost the already-low excitement factor.
