More information about Final Jeopardy:
The Swiss Family Robinson, before it became a 1960 Disney film, was an 1812 novel by Johann David Wyss. It was about a Swiss family who got shipwrecked in the East Indies en route to Australia. The title, of course, was meant to evoke Robinson Crusoe, a 1719 novel about the shipwreck and survival of the title character.
