I have many Jeopardy episodes that have yet to be archived. If you'd like to archive them I can let you trade with me for them by e-mailing me at the address in my profile.

The FJ segment had something that I would think has happened even fewer times than tie games over the years:
I took a guess on what to capitalize in Great Lakes $800 and whether that was the correct response? My search began with Sioux Saint Marie since that's what it sounded like to me.

GameShowDude: I have plenty of games not in the archive to keep me busy for many summers. Trading is not my thing, but thanks.

Something I've always wondered: Why did it always take so long for the chyron of the clue to show up at the bottom of the screen while the music plays? I've seen this in a lot of old episodes — the music starts playing but the clue doesn't show at the bottom until about 5-7 seconds in.

I'd've gotten to the right one on either my second or third guess though. (Admittedly it shouldn't take more than four...)
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Was something I knew as a geography geek and anthematologist. The are majority Swedish, and the national anthem was written by a Swede and was first published in Swedish. It was many years later that it was translated into the main language of the country, both lyrics are official.

Look how long it took for John to get in the game.
Shh, don't tell Justin Bernbach (2010 TOC Semi #3) about Tenors $800.
Hammer: I'm hopeful you either got FJ correct or had nothing. Either would be better than the two misses on the show.
"Great" Films gave me an idea for a J! board to have abbreviated clues as I needed nothing past the star's name to know all five clues. I'll have to look for a place to try to create such a monster.

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
Wrong answers for that FJ have to be some of the best ever.
ETA: her quote, if she said it, is disingenuous. She had been an activist for a long time when she refused to sit in the back of the bus.

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
That reminds me a lot of Liz Murphy's fourth fifth win. On the very last clue, the contestant in third place negged by adding an I to the correct response. Liz wisely rebounded with the I removed, and put herself into a 1st > 2nd + 3rd situation. She won when third had the sole get on FJ. http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=2992 (I don't think Liz had an answer till third place came close. Either way, third would have won with a clam.)MarkBarrett wrote:October 14, 1996 has been added to the archive: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3949

(Note: The reason for the strikethrough is to show what I amended after digging up the game; the rest is from memory. I almost said she also put herself into crush territory, but didn't because I wasn't sure. It turns out she was already there before the last clue was revealed.)

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
At long last the Sister Carol/Rocky/Carolyn game is in.
http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3952 (I still need to add the contestant pictures, and the audio for the DD.)
If anyone has a better computer, and can suss out what exactly Sister Carol's FJ cross outs are, I'd be interested to know.

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
The video is way too jumpy to make anything out, I could barely see Spain in there. She seemed to mumble Portugal, but I couldn't tell it from her screen.

The "top" one is England. Portugal might be another, but there's no way I could ever be sure.MinnesotaMyron wrote:If anyone has a better computer, and can suss out what exactly Sister Carol's FJ cross outs are, I'd be interested to know.

Re: New old games in the J-Archive
I happened to find that same game in my collection and I took a couple of pictures of her screen if that helps. In the audio we heard Spain and England and those are visible on the left. For the right? Got me.

something else (Italy, maybe. Definitely not France)
