Possible revisions to J! archive

Post by jeopardyfan939 »

Looking through the J! Archive, I noticed some things that could be mentioned, and I will list them in bold:

- #5976 2010-09-13 — Meg Miller vs. Scott Wells vs. Roger Craig — Roger Craig game 1. First game of Season 27. New title graphics (the opening sequence for Season 27 was different from Season 26; even the contestant and winnings indicators looked rather different in S27 than in S26 despite using the same fonts).

- #4826 2005-09-12 — Willy Jay vs. Catie Camile vs. David Maden — David Madden game 15. First game of Season 22. New title graphics. First episode where set turns red during the thinking period in Final Jeopardy!

Any other suggestions, please list them below.

Did you turn red during the thinking period while reading that post? :lol:

Actual suggestion: which was the first game to have the category names obscured by the star wipe or whatever it was back then, rather than being on cards that were visible in the long shots of the game board? Is that part of the "new set" from Season 8? I regret not looking that one up when all the season premieres were on Netflix. I remember watching that season premiere (must have been '90 or '91) and thinking, hey that's different.

Also the game note here is superfluous; I assume it was added before Leszek's games had been entered. https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=2735

got another revision that should be made:

the 11 17 2006 episode has a scoring mistake in the j-archive. Martian's score for fj was reset to 100 since the contestants on celebrity J! shows are never disqualified from playing final Jeopardy.

Spelling Martin Short's name as "Martian".
