Wow This DOES have it all! The first episode hosted by Alex in 1984. He looks WAY younger! Ken Jennings' last regular game apperance and the final three UTOC games, plus behind the senes featurettes you won't find anywhere else! A must have for any Jeopardy fan!

Jeopardy! is one of the most fun programs on TV. It is by far the best game shwos on TV. The Inside look of Jeopardy will feautre basically these episodes of this fine program.

1.) Premiere episode from 9/17/84 with Greg/Lois/Frank (This is where the first champion Greg puts on a show during the interview) Note: the 2nd show though not featured on the DVD had the 1st 0-0-0 tie in the series history!

2.) The 75th appearance of Ken Jennings in which he lost to Nancy Zerg but wins $2,522,700!!!!!!!!

3.) Day 1 of the 2004-05 seasons tournament of champions finals with Brad Rutter from the '02 seasons and of course Ken himself in which was a 3 day tuornament!

4.) Day two of the tournament!!!!!!!

5.) The last day of the tournament with Brad Rutter winning $2,000,000 and regaining the J! winnings title!!!!!!!

So alot at stake when Jeopardy unveiled comes out soon! Don't Miss it!

This DVD has a handful of extras that provide interesting background information about the show, its history, and behind-the-scenes production, but the centerpiece is its presentation of five episodes of the show itself: the first episode with Alex Trebek, the final episode of Ken Jennings's record-breaking run, and the monumental three-episode Ultimate Tournament of Champions. Playing along on these episodes is a super challenge for Jeopardy! wannabes.

This dvd is very great and wonderful, especially since it has the complete first Jeopardy show, from 1984! It is really incredible to see that 1st J. show again! I wish all of Jeopardy's (to date) 22 years would be released on DVD. Wouldn't that be something! Alex Trebek is incredible. He is the greatest celebrity of all time, in my humble opinion. Long live both Alex, and Jeopardy, the greatest guy and show ever on TV!

This is a good DVD. Yup, after Jeopardy! deletes a 5-day champion restriction. A history is made, Ken Jennings went on to win 74 games and won 2 and a half million dollars before he lost to Nancy Zerg. I watched that game and it was very good. Also, I watched the 3 games of the UTOC fianl of Jeopardy! It is fantastic for me. It is a totally good UTOC match. However, it is the fantastic moment for Brad Rutter who wins 2 million dollars at the end. Also, for the extras, it is good and it provides the fantastic 21 years of questions and answers. Overall, this is a good DVD.

Everyone in my family is a Jeopardy fan, so this video was a lot of fun for us! It's always fun to watch old shows and see the changes, and the information segments were also interesting. It was well worth the money for us, and would be a great gift for a trivia-geek.

Sony released the first Jeopardy! on DVD starring Alex Trebek. On IMDB.com's Jeopardy!(1964-1975) page, willibwar's review of the second Jeopardy! DVD starring Art Fleming is coming soon. Everybody wants to the the original late 60's to early 70's Jeopardy! program to come out on DVD.

This is a must for any fan. It is one of those rare show and tells that doesn't take the magic out of the show. In fact, it makes it that much more interesting. Plus, it offers a rare chance to see the very first episode. I recomend this for any one who loves learning and referencing various things.

Sent it to my brother-in law who loves the show as a congrats gift for completing some very hard technical training courses and graduating.... It was a big hit. The whole family said they watched it together after dinner :) Nice fun idea, not a gift you see everywhere... makes it more personal when you can find something that fits a person's unique interest.

These video is awesome. I have been a jeopardy since I was 5 years and now I am 21. I thought it was really cool for the video to include the very 1st show hosted by Alex Trebek, man what a difference in 21 years. I also thought it was cool for them to include Ken Jennings last episode especially because the tape I have it on broke and I was very disappointed when that happen. I hope that jeopardy last forever.
