Yeah, but the majority of usual J! viewers didn't purchase it.

Eddie's last game and Ken's last winning game are not on the DVD (which I Netflixed years ago); the first 2 games of the UToC are on though.

So they're gonna be airing the premiere on Monday?  And I'm not going to be able to see it, since WREX is going to be airing the telethon instead?

Just my luck.

Oh I think they'll probably wrap them with some sort of "Best of 25 Years of Jeopardy" bumpers or something? Special introduction?

At least you don't have to *work* the telethon, on top of being in in at 3:30 for the morning news.

If it were my call, I'd run our syndicated preemptions overnight on the CW where we usually show infomercials. But that's why it's not my call :-P

Oooh, I'd love to see the premiere airing on TV.  Never did get the DVD.  However I wish I had a capture card.  I could use a HQ grab of the...'99 intro?  Ooh, that's the rare one with the TVs! [/nerd]

I thought for sure a Ken Jennings episode was going to air on Tuesday.

Between all the tournaments, celeb games, and Ken Jennings, I am quite surprised and pleased that Mr. Timanus makes a "Best of" week.  My only complaint is that I won't be around to re-watch.

If you didn't see it the first time out, try and see it in the repeat. It was an excellent game from start to finish.

I agree...and although the win was spoiled by the news wires, it was still a thrilling match.

In theory, my USB TV recorder still works, so...

Also, (since I forgot to mention this) those in the Pittsburgh Area will miss Thursday's show, as WPXI will be doing local Steelers pre-game coverage.  Try not to be too disappointed. [/sarcasm]

I heard that the Steelers pre-game show is the only one in the NFL which lasts 5 hours since the TV guys talk very slowly and use monosyllabic words so yinz can understand them.

The sarcasm was directed at those who wanted to see Ken Jennings lose again, as if it hasn't been shown everywhere at least 8 times.

I'd try to provide a witty retort but a) I have no love for Pittsburgh's local TV outside of Hometown High Q and 2) Mike's right.

Looks like they are digging in the archives, and running the "DVD" shows. Tonight's show is show 1 from 1984 with brief segments from Alex.

Watched it; recommend others watch, if just for the info bits that start each segment.

Also, in a shrewd bit of companion programming, it seems that WoF will be re-running its Countdown to Ep 5000 week.

I tell you what, I sure got a kick out of seeing the old intro and the board being set up in motion.  Though all the editing made it a bit tough to follow.

Also, I really don't get why there was applause in the edited credits.  I mean, I can fathom a few reasons, but none of them make any sense.

No, laziness would have been filling this week by rerunning a Kids' Week tournament from last season.

Or rendering the on-screen closing credits in the current style, rather than that imitation of the 1984 version.

This was not literally a rerun of a show from 1984, this was a 2009 presentation of a show from 1984.  Hence, the closing theme went with the 2009 presentation, not the 1984 show -- and so it was the modern theme, with canned applause.
