Crackle's Jeopardy Flashback
« on: January 18, 2014, 03:17:30 PM »
In conjunction with the Battle of the Decades tournament, Jeopardy is releasing several older episodes on the streaming service Crackle:

http://www.crackle.com/c/jeopardy-flashback

It looks like they'll be releasing the 15 episodes (80's, 90's, 00's) in phases.  The first five episodes are from the 80's and they're available now.

So do these episodes coincide with the selected contestants?

Yes.  More specifically the fifth day of the champions' runs (Scott, Frates, Cooper, Vered, Shannon - players selected by the show).

Really? Not even just "a representative game," but specifically their retirement game? That's an utterly brilliant idea and I give them all props for the forethought.

Curt, thank you for sharing. I am watching them as I type this.

Update: Just got done watching them. They have the original King-World logos and copyright disclaimers. Sweet! None of the GSN reruns from season 9 featured them, and GSN never showed Seasons 4-8. They showed the finale of the Super Jeopardy! spin-off from 1990, but that's about it.

Also, the only Seasons 10-11 episodes GSN has ever reran were the Celebrity episodes. Curt, I found out that your Teen Tournament QF episode did appear on GSN once and it was Game #571 and your QF episode aired on February 9, 1987. You told me that you were not sure if GSN reran your QF game but Jamie Locklin and catnap1972 found out they did.

This is the first time I've seen the Super Jeopardy tournament referred to as a spin-off.

For Jerome his fourth game was the more impressive; and as it happens he was not in a position to overtake Officer Frank for the all-time record anyway.

To be fair, couldn't you call it a spin-off? It might've been a tournament but it was produced as a separate series at the same time.

To be fair, no. It was a super tournament. Certainly not in the same league as Knots Landing, Next Generation or Boston Legal. It didn't probe any new ground other than how awful Jeopardy can be when you have four players playing.

But as I said, it was produced as a separate series. If it simply took place as part of a regular Jeopardy season, then Mr. Nissan's calling it of a spin-off is erroneous.

Since it was devised as a separate series and not designed to air as part of the season (like the 10th Anniversary, Million Dollar Masters, and UTOC were), to me that qualifies it as a spin-off.

Are we really arguing over calling something a "spin-off" or not? Seriously, is it that big of a deal?

Geez, man, did your dog die or something? You're being extra crotchety this week.

What's the big deal? It's a discussion of merits. One says it has them, one says it doesn't. Nobody's saying anything offensive and nobody's getting their bloomers in a bunch over it. Civil debate.

Arguing would be a strong word for it, but there's kind of a dearth of game show content right now.

.......and yet they're from 1990-92. Still a pleasure to see them, though, and thanks for the information and the link.

... as Jeopardy's '80s consists of September 1984 - August 1994.
