Title: Something old, something new
Post by: catkins522 on December 31, 2006, 09:56:10 PM

I was looking at Netflix and found these 2 BtS for game shows.

First, $Deal$ (http://\"http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70059189&trkid=181036&strkid=631711143_23_0\") is back on DVD.  $Deal$ is a 90 min documentary on LMaD.

Second, Jeopardy: An Inside Look at America's Favorite Quiz Show! (http://\"http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70040968&trkid=181036&strkid=745352301_17_0\") is out for 1-2 years.  Don't know if Ken Jennings will be on it ot not.

I wish either TPiR or WoF would do a BtS...  That would so cool.

If someone has posted this, I am truly sorry and go back to my hiding.

Well unless the DVD Netflix puts out is a hacked up copy, it certainly should since, as I remember - and I should since I own it and reviewed it at one point - it contains five full episodes, a full four of which feature Mr. Jennings (Ken's 75th/last, plus the UTofC Finals) in addition to the first episode.

As far as the behind the scenes part goes, I seem to remember (it *has* been a bit since I went back and watched the "features" section) one of the segments involves Mr. Jennings in addition to others, while the rest don't really bring him up.   The Behind-the-scenes stuff is treated as more of a side feature to the episodes, ala the MG DVD set.
