Everybody knows about the current version of Jeopardy! and some remember the original version. We're not talking about those shows. We talk about the nighttime version from 1974-5 and, to a great extent, the 1978-9 NBC version.
Also in this episode...
* The 1977 CBS Jeopardy! pilot
* Password Plus' frequently changing time slot
