They tried different things, like eliminating the lowest scoring player after the Jeopardy round, and they totally revamped Final Jeopardy. A classic example of "If it's not broken, don't fix it." Notice when it came back with Alex, it was the original format. I know there was a joke going around that the late 70s Jeopardy failed because Don Pardo wasn't the announcer. That obviously was not the reason.

It was well-intentioned, but didn't have the overall fell of the game.
