Hey VJ, long time no talk, but I wanted to, first off, wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY1 Hope your day was joyful and peaceful.
Anyway, I’m happy to have watched this episode—boy, what a difference 3 1/2 decades make! Everything was…kinda weird :). Also, the audience seemed to clap at every right answer. The triple-solve on a 1st episode was a nice touch.
Thank you, Cece! I had a very nice day, birthday cake and all that and everybody called me up. My daughter said “you’re pretty popular, eh?” and I said, “Yup, once a year!
I agree, it wasn’t exactly what we’re used to nowadays, after all the years of fine-tuning the show, but it was fun to watch. Alex teasing the winner was cute.
It sure was fun to watch. Also, bittersweet to see Alex so young and full of energy. And the beat goes on…
Happy Birthday to you VJ! and this triple solve from the first episode was a great start. The audience is clapping at every answer but now they don’t do that unless its a daily double.
Thanks, Lou!
Just wondering, the show was in 1984, but final jeopardy question was a holiday in 1986, how would they have known this would happen 2 years into the future?
@Marilyn, Reagan made it a holiday on 11/2/1983 (first sentence in the recap next to the book cover)
What Reagan did in 1983 is irrelevant. The final jeopardy answer said… 1986! And supposedly this was taped in 1984. I, too, immediately started googling to see if anyone else was curious about this. Maybe they’ll say something about it before the start of tomorrow’s show. Regardless, I am looking forward to seeing all these old episodes.
Never mind. I get it now. It wasn’t going to be officially recognized as a national holiday until 1986.
This was a great start to the first episode of jeopardy. Man 1984 to first show jeopardy that brings back a lot of memories. Also VJ when did you first watch this show?
