Super Jeopardy! was a short attempt at an ABC Primetime version of Jeopardy! in the summer of 1990 (First ep. was on 6/16/90, last ep. was on 9/8/90). It was a 13-week tournament involving 35 contestants from the first six seasons (1984-90) of Alex Trebek's (he hosted this primetime version as well) version of Jeopardy!, and one contestant from the original Art Fleming 1964-75 version was invited as well. The winner was Bruce Seymour, a writer from Piedmont, California. This was the only known attempt at a network primetime version of Jeopardy!.

I remember Super Jeopardy. It was the only incarnation of the long-running quiz show that had four contestants playing against each other in the earlier rounds. The show was also the lead in to the short-lived Monopoly, which didn't pass go in the ratings.
