Do you have this entire show? I know someone who would be delighted to get any of the old Art Fleming broadcasts. He belongs to a Jeopardy! preservation society. Apparently they have none of the Art Fleming-era shows!

Did you know that Merv Griffin first composed the theme song called Think, as a lullaby for his son, which he called A Time for Tony. He later claimed that as the theme song for Jeopardy he earned $70,000,000 in royalties! Not bad..not bad at all.

I remember one Jeopardy contestant, who was a music professor, told Alex Trebec he had composed lyrics for the theme. The opening two lines were..
If you think your brain is strong,
Jeopardy will prove you wrong!

He sure did Cathy...Wheel of Fortune debuted as a daytime program in 1975, and Merv also composed the original theme song, entitled Changing Keys, which was heard on the show from 1983 to 2000.

In Twilight Zone the Movie segment called Kick the Can the people at a nursing home were watching Jeopardy.

For my money Jeopoardy! is the best game show ever to appear on TV. It has never been dumbed down to appeal to a broader audience. Successful contestants have to be knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects. They need sound decision-making skills too.
