Season 1: The Contest Nobody Could Win.....

This episode has two different endings. The syndicated & DVD ending doesn't make a lot of sense. Johnny gets the money back with no clear explanation as to how. The version on YouTube (link below) has a different actor playing the phony winner and a completely different epilogue.

I have seen both endings and the one where Johnny gets the briefcase back from Vincent Schiavelli is the better ending. I have a bootleg syndicated original version and the newer DVD with bad music replacements and the poorer ending.
