Continuing from TuneIn, we have 1991-04-12: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7967

Was certainly an exciting game.

DJ20 saw a judge's reversal.

And more TuneIn, 1991-06-06: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7968

Max had the judges working overtime.

This is the last one of the TuneIn backlog from before we got the games from NAGSH. Thus, I'll be moving to the NAGSH backlog for awhile.

Alex was not particularly impressed with our three players this game.

J4 saw a rare use of underlining on the Chyron.

Lots of incorrect responses saw Alex call for the break at Clue 6.

Lots of changing of responses before (or after) rulings made Alex not happy as well.

J20 & DJ13 were a little bit of fun from the writing team.

Was DJ category 2 really RUSSIAN, and not RUSSIA or RUSSIANS?

Although not so rare in S1.

Yes—being that the category was about Russian words, I think it makes sense as well.

Also fun is the categories of those clues, the leftmost J! category and the rightmost DJ category respectively.

Alex very clearly enunciated "Hoke" during the interview.

Felt like your run-of-the-mill, average S1 game.

The video cut out a bit at times for DJ2, DJ3 & DJ4 but we were able to get enough.

Courtesy the National Archives of Game Show History, we have 1985-01-30, Paul Croshier, game 1-B: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7974

Pictures of Sue Foster, Paul Croshier, and Holly Hoke:

Paul got to ADMIRALS in DJ and really didn't look back from there. A close game got blown wide open and Holly & Sue spent the rest of DJ playing catch-up.

Props to anyone able to get this FJ in 2023—would have been much easier in 1985.

[Takes bow] Of course, that is one of my better areas and advantage me in probably seeing the game twice when originally aired and rerun back then.

From TuneIn, we have 10/1/86: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7973

Jonathan Oren vs. Anne Sommers vs. Chuck Wessel

Brutal game to archive with audio only and generated transcript can only help so much. The numbers are okay, but there is still some clue wording off that I will work on sometime bedtime tonight to try to fix.

Paul's intro didn't use the "stationed at" language this time around?

Nope—it was a “from”, at least for 1-B. Haven’t watched the intros to the other 4.

That is quite the triple stumper at UNREAL ESTATE for $1000.

Tolkien and Lewis not nearly so much in the public consciousness then as today after big-budget Hollywood adaptations. Justly valued at $1000.

Burt's and his son Jason's Archive profiles have been edited to link to each other.

DJ16: Would be old hat for us in 2023, but it seems like this clue might well have been the turning point towards "you corrected yourself before we ruled against you" rule—you could even hear the judges offstage faintly.

DJ29: Nobody knows how to wager Daily Doubles properly in 1991.

I've already missed the regular play FJ! clue and if I also miss the Masters two at least I won't go 0/4 today.

For a S2 game not too bad with Ws and TS clues.

Other than just happening to know it, was there some way to get the bottom clue in celebrity trivia? James isn’t that poet’s first name so that doesn’t help.
