So far, a page each for the CBS and syndie runs are up.  A page devoted to the 1990 Pat Finn run will be up soon.

Good info, but you mention that Jim Peck filled in for Jack between 1981 and 1984.  I thought he actually started filling in a lot earlier than that.  I'm sure I saw episodes from as early as the first season in 1977-78 where Peck was the sub-host - or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Anyone know for sure?

Jack Barry passed away of a heart attack during a morning jog in Central Park in New York City on May 2, 1984, just a month after completing taping on the 7th season. All episodes that aired between then and September of that year had a disclaimer.

I watched TJW on Buffalo's WIVB just about every day during that time and never saw a disclaimer.  Are you sure it wasn't something that appeared on just some stations?

To make a correction on the 1990 page...

The Joker Jackpot went up $500 every time it wasn't won.  That said, all these years later, I don't understand why it went up to about $25,000 (at least I think it was $25,000) about the time the category format returned.

It hit $36K during that time IIRC before it was won, meaning 62 shows without a win(starting at $5K)

I know Jim was doing YDS in 78-79 and 3aC in 79-80, so I don't think he filled in until after that (at least I never saw him on TJW with a perm.;)

Thanks for the corrections.  I have some time to spare, so I'll get to work on them pronto. :-)
