Great add John! A very classy way to end a run of a show. A shame more programs dont get that kind of treatment.
The music at the end was interesting, though. Didnt sound like any of TJW music I had heard before. What piece was that?

It was called Joker's Jive (by Alan Thicke); it was used from 1974-1975, and the first year of the syndie version, before the whistle theme.
Oh by the way, here (http://\"http://home.comcast.net/~caseybuck/JokersJive.mp3\") is a good-quality MP3 of the theme.

3 seasons, 686 CBS telecasts of true Joker's Wild entertainment. A magnificent clip, indeed, JRJ. Thanks.
And how fitting you include the clip, on the 20th anniversary of Jack Barry's tragic demise.
Given a chance to redeem himself of The 1950s Game Show Scandals, Jack Barry delivered in spades with the 3 seasons of The Joker's Wild on CBS (September 4, 1972 - June 13, 1975). He took a mere slot machine from Las Vegas and turned it into an icon of television culture to be endeared for years to come.
Thanks again, JRJ.

Listening to this end theme and this might be a stretch.... doesn't it sound a LITTLE like the end theme from TJW 90? Joker Jive is certainly much less repetitive and much less monotonous, but I did detect some similarities.
-
I think I have both "Jive" and TJW90 posted up at UP. And they don't sound the same to me.
-
Good call, Casey. Thanks for the info!
-
Thanks, John! Those clips are excellent!
[and being half of Yahtzee's entire fanbase, I enjoyed that one too :-)]

Awesome! I've been looking for a good quality Joker's Jive file for a long while now. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks John those clips are excellent!

Thanks JRJ great clips.

I dont want to hijack this thread but I have a quick question. The Easy Money clip had a clip from Whew and the villians had the numbers in a cartoon bubble besides their mouths- for the life of me I thought the number was on their arm that would impede your way (ie the 10th villian had a 10 on her crystal ball) Am I crazy?

I believe the numbers were moved from one position to another during the run of the show--when and in which order I don't remember.

You're not crazy, and I NEVER remember the Villiains having their numbers in a bubble, they were always on the arm that impeded the player's progress.
Maybe that clip came from a pilot? Did that guy look like Jack Campion? ;)

Im not sure, but Tom had grey hair and I could have sworn I saw Betty White for a split second...

Indeed you did! The Whew! clip featured on the "Easy Money" video was a $10,000 Gauntlet win (after defeating all 10 villans by correctly by answering their questions), on which Betty White and John Saxon were the celebrity contestants. About halfway through the show's run, Whew! changed its format and switched from civillan contestants to 2-player teams, consisting of a civilian contestant and a celebrity.
How this answers your question! :-D
-
Thank you for the additional info!
My question is I don't remember the change from the number of the villain being put in a bubble near the villian's mouth as opposed to the number being on the villian's impeding arm.

That sounds a little like this calliope that I have that plays Christmas carols. Gotta love Moog synthesizers.

Sorry if you already discerned the answer from that earlier stuff, but this change came with "Celebrity Whew!" or at least sometime into the run. Obviously that player chose to run the second half the Gauntlet as most of them seemed to do. Besides the format changes, there were stars added to the orange corrugated doors in front of the main game board & Gauntlet.

Thanks Jason!

That was a very classy ending to TJW... in my opinion... though I thought it was kind of weird to have Jack mention Dan Enright very prominently at the end. I didn't think he was ever mentioned in the credits at all on that show... because of the whole scandal thing.

I think Jack and Dan reunited during the final months of CBS's TJW run, but didn't have joint mention in the end credits until BtB76.

Enright was listed as EP in "TJW"'s final network months, replacing John Tobyansen--but the re-partnership didn't become official until "BTB."
Of course, with network "TJW" the important credit was the "Vice President in Charge of Production" at the end of the roll--Jack Barry.

Now if CBS would have cancelled "The Joker's Wild" exactly four weeks earlier, imagine the irony and possible urban legends if the the last episode was #666...

During my first one, i pondered two things:
1. Never to have another enema again.
2. I wonder if the $100,000 will be won tonight on Wheel.
Is this normal?
