Nice! Have you seen the blog MoronicArts.com? It's a fictional series set in Kankakee county. A lot of stories are set in Manteno, Kankakee and Bourbonnais.
IDK why I love this story. So cozy to watch. The decor in the store, the way the people dressed, the way it was easy to get a job, the computer, not ancient times but also feels long ago because time doesn't move backwards.
What a gem of a VHS-rip original airdate w/commercials and cable banner showing the date/hour timestamp! Takes me back to Circa early 2001 and watching this on a big bulky antenna TV set. When folks were comfortably settling into life in the 21st century, housing was affordable everywhere and little before the events of 9/11/01 changed everything, it's like 2 different worlds in 1 year.
Shame on NBC for "wiping" (erasing) the tapes of the classic "Jeopardy" episodes from the 60's and early 70's! Because of that, few episodes survive today. Those were the "Jeopardy"s I grew up with. When I was in second grade during the 1969-70 school year I remember coming home at lunchtime and watching the show with my Mom and sister. The earlier Art Fleming episodes were easily the best ones. Equally frustrating is that recently a contestant on the current "Jeopardy" stated she was on the original version, and many fans of the show were asking if her original appearance can be seen on RU-vid or any other platform. Because of NBC's brilliant move, that contestant's appearance on the original "Jeopardy" is *lost forever.* Sony also confirmed they did not have any archival prints of any of the original "Jeopardy" episodes in their vaults. Thanks a lot (sarcastically speaking), NBC! (BTW: When this final episode of this version of "Jeopardy" aired on March 2, 1979, I was in my junior year of high school at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Illinois. Obviously, how could I have seen this show while I was in school? VCR's were still in their infancy but didn't start catching on until a year-and-a-half later. Sad.)
@SybilKibble This was in the mid-70's, so yes, it was deliberate since NBC apparently couldn't afford to purchase any new blank tapes. This was well before 9/11/2001.
@@Kramden429 It was far more complicated than not being able to "afford to purchase any new blank tapes." There was also the issue of STORING those tapes. Tapes back then cost money. Storing the massive number of tapes that would have been required with proper temperature and humidity control would have cost even more money. And no one back then would have thought they would be myriad cable and streaming channels that would EVER have an audience that wanted to sit back and watch reruns of game shows (not to mention many other types of shows)!
Thank you for posting this. I have been looking for it to show some younger friends I told about it. I dunno why it’s missing from the Unsolved Mysteries episodes streaming? They left The Queen Mary intact but it was missing when I tried finding it.
