The $128,000 Question - 1978 pitchfilm

[@donbenn4878]

I had never viewed this video before.. and it has been more than 40 years since I was part of it... but it brought back a at least 64000 great memories. Thank you for sharing it.

[@theguywiththegames1594]

Thank you for sharing your run of episodes, Don.

[@zacheryalderton882]

Had fun

[@gameshows5973]

what was your subject?

[@donbenn4878]

There were contestants on subjects like Beethoven or DiVinci or World History and all I could claim any real knowledge of was old TV shows (and 4 decades ago there were not a whole lot of them).

[@gameshowfanatic9311]

@@donbenn4878 Wow! I watched your episodes that are on KZbin and some of those answers on the ones with the supporting characters, I can’t see how you came up with those. Also, if I may ask do either Buckskin, The Verdict is Yours, or even Navy Log still haunt you to this day? And I couldn’t believe in that question either those three shows mentioned you pulled The Peoples Choice out of nowhere. I may have to check some of those shows from your questions out. Hope you’re doing well, sir.

What a find! What a way to see highlights from the series and continue the birthday celebration of Alex Trebek! Thank you for this!

Thanks so much for posting this montage of great clips from the great 1970's revival of the original "$64,000 Question". Enjoyed it when I was a little kid. And I enjoy Alex Trebek's energetic acknowledgment of the correct answer at 11:17 as much as I do the young woman's unbridled burst of excitement at 10:04 for her husband:) RIP Alex Trebek and Mike Darow.

Thank you so much for posting this great game show footage! It’s really great practice for future trivia-based game shows!

Clips from the show's second season (1977-78 in Toronto), with Alex Trebek and announcer Sandy Hoyt. Its first season in New York (1976-77) was hosted by Mike Darow, along with announcer Alan Kalter. The pitch film narrator was the legendary Jackson Beck.

Jackson Beck was best known as the voice of Bluto in the Popeye cartoons and as the narrator of the G.I. Joe animated series, as well as the voice of Little Caesars commercials.

Rerun rights to The $128,000 Question and its entire 2 season run now belong to CBS Television Distribution, and we knew there was not a 3rd season when it was not as popular as its predecessor, and after 2 seasons the series ended due to network winnings cap limits.
