Excellent! And cheddar cheese microwave popcorn was half-price at the store the other day, so I'm all set. Giant bowl forthcoming, my friends.

My theory is that they start new accounts and post gobbledygook just to test the mettle of board members. How else do you explain Matt respoding so quickly to Fan4Sure? Just something to think about this Labor Day weekend.

Ooh, a conspiracy theory! Some excellent food for thought, sir. A fine accompaniment to this delicious popcorn.

You know the name of the show and when it aired. Because you managed to find your way here you know how to use a computer and to navigate the web. There is at least one website out there that is a repository of various video clips, movies and television episodes. I suspect that if you made your way there you could get a sampling of the show that you want to emulate, and therefore would be able to work on your home game.
(Please note that I composed the previous message without specious capital letters and with punctuation. You should be on your way. I hope you're able to find the information you need.)

My bullshiat detector is pinned right now.

I hate to puncture your good-natured conspiracy bubble, but for people who genuinely wonder about that, the answer is not nearly so mysterious. Since F4S is on permanent moderation, I'm always the first person to see any of his posts that get approved. And at this point, pretty much the only ones I approve are ones I want to comment on.
Our new friend roderick isn't doing any harm right now, and there is some entertainment value to his question. I don't see bullshait (yet), I see the same sort of genuine but misguided approach as an Iris or a F4S. Time will tell.

That might be what you meant it to be. What it says next to your post is something else.

Once again that was nice however i may post another game show topic in the near future but for now i'm interest in the categories in the 1977-1986 version of the joker's wild for my own home version of the game show in real life i do not have any of the three editions of the joker's wild game back in the early 1970's
-
you cynics, just give him what he asked for.
letsplayrodrick, here are the categories which, remember, spun with a "joker" on the reels:
-State Capitols
-Popular Music
-Fast Forward Presidents
-Vivisectionists of the 13th Century
-Cats
-
Oi... Let me play this one straight...
Rodrick, you are asking for the categories for a game show that
- Had five categories each game
- Played about one and a half games per show
- Aired five days per week
- Had, once you even out summer reruns versus guest hosts, probably about 48 weeks of new shows per year
- Ran for nine years
So, you made a forum post asking for over 16000 categories. This is, frankly, pretty damned silly. Plus, because there are so many episodes of the show on YouTube, you asked for information you could have found by yourself. This all reflects incredibly badly on you. So if you sense that people are treating you poorly, it's because you earned it.

As long as we're playing it straight, somehow I think you might be a bit off. Not necessarily your calculations, just your assumptions. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that over the nine years of the show there were no more than a few hundred categories ever used, especially if you combine obvious duplicates like "Books" and "Book Titles" (both of which were featured in the first edition box game). That first edition has material for 72 games, which would theoretically be 360 categories. I'd be surprised if there were half that many unique ones.
-
Fair enough. The early shows tended to use questions and categories that were a bit closer in spirit to the network run, though. A category on "Dean Martin" doesn't get too much repeat play. More to the point I am hoping against hope to make the noob understand why what he did was a bad idea. (I prefer to save the bandwagon jumping for repeat offenses.)
-
A category on "Dean Martin" doesn't get too much repeat play.
Weirdly, in the First Edition home game a Marilyn Monroe category appears four times. Aside from "Disney" (which really isn't the same thing), no other category named for a specific person is duplicated more than once.

Are you sure those are the categories use on the game show the joker's wild from 1977-1986? i just like to do my own home version of the joker's wild but with the format from the best remember 1977-1986 version of the game show.

The 1972-1975 edition will be very upset that you left it out.

OK, that makes sense. In fact, it makes perfect sense. All the loose ends tied up in a pretty bow. Yep, quite the satisfactory answer.
Nice try, Ottinger. Did you think I was born yesterday? Just tell me this: who was Mario500? Because that was epic. My hat's off to either you or Chris.

God help me, I'm going in. If I don't come back out, save yourselves.
Roderick, at the end of this message is a link to a YouTube search where you can find clips from dozens and dozens of actual Joker's Wild episodes. It should be very easy for you to watch those clips and find out which categories were used. I don't think any of us could make this any easier for you, and I think it's pretty obvious that nobody wants to. So here you go:

That was nice of all of you for trying to help me looking for the categories on the 1977-1986 version of the joker's wild for my own home game of the classic 1977-86 version of that show anyway which the joker's wild board do you guys liked the flashing red board or the flashing blue neon board of both.

I would like to take Fast Forward Trolls for $100.

do you guys liked the flashing red board or the flashing blue neon board of both.
I watched on my little black & white portable so I liked the flashing grey board.

This home version had better be Windows 7 compatible for those kinds of questions.

It's not a computer game it's just a game that comes in a box just like the home versions of both pressman's and tyco games wheel of fortune and jeopardy! games just like the milton bradley and pressman's home versions of family feud just like the milton bradley and endless games version of the price is right game (my only favorite the 2nd edition from endless games) and many other box versions of some tv game show games.

Will there be room inside the box for an inflatable Jack Barry? I hope so.

No you have to be your own Jack Barry/Bill Cullen/Jim Peck and or Pat Finn(host of Shop till you Drop)

Well, I don't know why not. There was an inflatable Lyle Bellamy in the home version to Beat The Devil.

Hold the phone, now I'm confused. How can there be an inflatable Pat Finn? You said the 1977-1986 version....Pat Finn came in 1990.
I had the inflatable Jack Barry....It was defective. His head swelled to 3 times the size of the rest of his body.

Not as displeased as I am that there's not to be an inflatable Jack Barry inside the box.
Every time I go to a Jack-In-The-Box I'll be reminded of the fact that there's no Jack in your box.
And you have the indignity to be displeased with us. Pot, kettle, black, baby cakes. I pity your phase.

The nerve...
Amidst all the jokes, Matt O. provided a link to clips from the show. If you didn't bother to watch the clips, you have no right to whine about no one helping. Besides, the categories were mostly generic anyways (Animals, Fairy Tales, Headlines, etc.). You can't expect people to do all your legwork, then get annoyed when people tell you to put in a little effort yourself. A Youtube search for "The Joker's Wild 1978" takes all of 15 seconds, and you could probably find at least 10-12 categories* in just one episode. Want another tip? Look up "Tic Tac Dough" or "Bullseye"...a lot of the same material. You're welcome.
*I can't remember, was it 5 or 6 categories per game? I need someone to tell me even though I could look on Youtube.
/I'm actually at work and can't watch on Youtube

Let's all be honest here, if we tell him the categories the next thing is that he'll want us to write the material for him.

5 per match.
Roderick, do you have any of the board games? A lot of those categories are probably similar to what you would see on the show.

The only two game show games that i have are wheel of fortune (both versions) and the classic 1978 home version of tic tac dough.

God help me, I'm curious now which two versions are "both versions." Doesn't Wheel have about 14 bazillion home games?

Just an observation:
This "Rodrick" has been on here for nearly a week..(As often happens, I just found the thread this morning)..If I were looking for information and wasnt getting it to my satisfaction, plus, getting teased/embarassed by nearly everyone in a group I just joined..I would probably give up and just leave..Ive seen this sort of thing a few times..
-

As usual when folks make these observations, the fallacy at the outset is that you are assuming a rational thought process.

The Roderick dude is either a troll or autistic. If troll, he's enjoying causing the commotion; if autistic, he's not picking up on the h8.

Agreed wtih the troll theory, but not necessarily the autistic...IMHO, that's a pretty broad statement to make..

Maybe not autism, i'll say Rod is undaunted by the feelings of others.
-

He's not a troll. (And once again I am getting tired of people crying out "troll!" every time we get another clubie around here.)
This particular picnic basket is a few sandwiches short, whether it's because he's somewhere on the autistic spectrum or because of some other deficiency, because that's really the only reason someone would have the audactiy to claim "displease" at being told to pound sand after asking for such a stupidly expansive project to be done for him. It's just not computing.
-
I'm tellin' ya guys, it's far more simple than that: It's Matt and Chris dishing out the lulz. I don't know what kind of sick pleasures they derive from such exercises, but it's the only explanation I'll entertain at the moment.
\Either that or Roderick is very young.

Yes, because Matt and Chris TOTALLY want toss something out there that is 90% likely to start a flamefest. That's *exactly* the community they are trying to foster. I can totally understand how you would entertain no other options.
-
I'm willing to bet Dale is being facetious.
As for my "theory", I immediately got an idea of somewhere along the autistic spectrum, which is why I was a little hesitant to weigh in with the joke responses in the first couple pages. The fact that the OP didn't really take anyone's advice and merely said he is "displease" leads me even closer to think something is not registering and thinking he did nothing wrong. And while technically he's only guilty of not looking it up himself, he also doesn't realize that documenting categories from a 9 year run (and in the ballpark of about 1,800-2,000 episodes) is taxing work that's not gonna happen.
That being said, a little research on one's own part never hurts either, instead of expecting everyone to do all the legwork. Matt O. gave him ideas, I gave him a few more, the rest is on him.
-

Why should he get to lean on a crutch? Why can't it be that he's being a clueless (and ungrateful) doofus?

He could very well be. But if I implied he's using a possible condition as a crutch, I certainly didn't mean to. Not only is it a shameful copout, but there are several people on this forum who would shoot that one down in a heartbeat.

Autistic yes troll no i'm do suffer from autism however not everyone taking my autism diagnosis seriously in real life but for everyone shake please let's all everyone and mine to take autism as a mental heath issue and we can all learn everything about the lessons about autism.
P.S. i'm going to do everything the very best that i can on writing down the list of categories use on the 1977-86 version of the joker's wild with a lot of researching on my part i'm go to do my best on making my own home version of the joker's wild game based on the 1977-86 syndicated version of the game show.

I wasn't saying he was; I guess I should have worded it better - I meant to say I agreed with Jimmy when I said if he *is* a troll, he's definitely enjoying causing a commotion, I, too, don't think that's the case either. I think there is definitely something wrong, but I wouldn't be so quick to automatically chalk it up to autism.

-
Why can't it be that he's being a clueless (and ungrateful) doofus?
Well, why can't it be both, really.
Because I judge people based on what they do and how they behave, and not based on any of their "conditions" that they may have. I've managed to make it this far in the world without any special dispensation or pity, and frankly after the first two or three replies by Roderick the whole deal got really old.
I ask you, members of the Game Show Forum, does Roderick's condition (if any) make what he's said or done any less annoying to you?
-
I ask you, members of the Game Show Forum, does Roderick's condition (if any) make what he's said or done any less annoying to you?
It makes it more annoying, because now he's acting like he's got a perfectly good excuse for how annoying he's being.
-
I ask you, members of the Game Show Forum, does Roderick's condition (if any) make what he's said or done any less annoying to you?
More, because he's using it as a crutch. I would love to act like I feel like acting 100% of the time but I know I can't if I want to be anywhere in society.
