Re: Thursday, July 27, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Curious on opinions about the orange liqueur neg. The category was called Triple Time, but 'triple' wasn't in quotes so not required in the answer. Cointreau is an orange liqueur (its web site literally refers to it as an orange liqueur). I personally think that should have counted. That was awkwar...

Re: Watching Jeopardy after cutting the cord
If you're in an area where Jeopardy is on CBS then Paramount+ is an option. I already got Paramount+ for my Mom so I have been able to watch Jeopardy live from a CBS station. It's truly live, with no recording, but limited pausing is available. It's cheaper than getting the whole set of local statio...

No fans of The Natural in this group, I guess. I've never forgotten the announcer's "Goodbye Mr. Spalding" when Hobbs knocked another one out of the park. Thanks for that. Spalding was an instaget for me, and I'm not a sports guy at all. I think it could have been from The Natural without...

I smiled when the random picks of the clue boards resulted in "Carnegie" being the correct response in a Masters game and a regular game aired on the same day.

I incorrectly went with Dante Alighieri. At least he was Florentine.

Re: Monday, April 3, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Did the contestants not know what an eponym is? :? Either they didn't (it doesn't seem like Crystal did, at least) or they couldn't think of the right name. I blanked on what an eponym meant and took a wild guess of land mines, even though it really didn't fit with the third quotation or the word &...

Re: Inside Jeopardy podcast
I, for one, would rather see someone earn it than be a Cinderella. I’ll wear the dress, tiara, and glass slipper if it means winning the whole shebang. Hell, I'd wear that if it meant just being a contestant! ...help control the pet population — have your pets spayed or neutered. This is all in fun...

Re: Thoughts on Michael Davies in 2021 compared to now
I prefer non-tournament play. The exception is a once-a-year TOC. All the other celebrity, second chance, kids, etc could be primetime or their own thing, not dwindling the number of games for regular play. I mostly watch for the clues to test myself, not for the personalities. Seeing the same peopl...

Re: Monday, March 27, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
BARELY got the $400 Number "One" Movie in time, and yet it was my favorite movie as a kid. Ah well. I didn't get it and felt silly. I got stuck by "tail" and immediately thought of An American Tail . Animated, but not Disney and no "one". That was enough to sidetrack m...

My name is Mike Murphy. There are a million Mike Murphys out there. I tried in the early internet/web days to get something that wasn't my name with six digits after it. I have a bunch of patents, so I am an idea guy. When I saw this Scott Adams strip I jumped on "idearat". It was unique, ...

Pluto still isn't a planet but we can count Pu on the list since it was fraudently a planet at the time. Only Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are snubbed. I just say Plutonium is a dwarf element now and have done with it. All in fun, and not argumentative, I'd suggest that Plutonium was named for the plan...

Question if you don't mind: Did Johnny announce you in the studio live? I think I heard that he was dubbing them in at one time, either due to Covid or health. I'm hoping to crash a taping next week and just curious. No Johnny in the studio. He recorded it later. I was excited on Thursday to hear h...

Even in 2023 contestants can still be busted for not phrasing correctly. Ouch on Michael being the victim today. I was so sure I had said "who is" I was waiting to watch today, only to be disappointed. This was likely a case of burning up brain cycles on the wrong thing. My head had me po...

The clue asked for the name of "a watery section of river". So Tappan Zee would still be correct.floridagator wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 8:31 pm
The Tappan Zee bridge has been renamed for Mario Cuomo but people still call it the Tappan Zee.
I'm more baffled by the watery section. Is there a dry section of the Hudson?

My Mom sat next to Jake's Mom in the audience. She was proud to see him up there, but really excited that she got to go on an L.A. vacation with her son.
