A collection of known Showcase Showdown rounds from the Anniversary Week hour-long specials in September 1975, using this infamous prototype wheel. From episodes #1581D (September 10, 1975) and #1585D (September 11, 1975).
Considering it was made in the 70s, even if the design stayed longer, it still could've been replaced by the wheel we know. Can't imagine this wheel still being used today.
In the spinoff in case of a tie, they did 2 spins as well. By the time it officially became one hour on Nov 3, 1975, the spinoff went to one spin ever since.
Would've been more like "Take this, Fleming!" as the original _Jeopardy!_ has been canceled earlier in 1975 by NBC, just shy of the end of the third season of CBS's current TPIR.
@@angrybirdsfan2003 Yep, the third anniversary week and its week long trial of hour-long episodes. By November, they would expand the show to an hour permanently, and the wheel became the style used today.
