Re: Tuesday, July 27, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

LeVar still seems as stiff as a board.

And with regards to the Science Fiction category and Arthur C. Clarke's famed novel, "Rendezvous With Rama," it's sad to see that the famed clue writers of "Jeopardy!" don't know the difference between galaxy and solar system.

Sigh.

Re: Alex Trebek Announces Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer

Horrible news indeed... and now makes watching the previously recorded programs sad and quite melancholy.

Re: Thursday, January 10, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)

To follow up to my earlier query as to why the Boston CBS affiliate aired a repeat tonight, I sent an email to the station and got this reply within thirty minutes... a pretty quick response, IMHO. Dear Brendan, I apologize for the error. The secondary Jeopardy was accidentally recorded instead of t...

Any idea why the Boston CBS affiliate --- Channel 4 --- ran a "Jeopardy!" repeat tonight?

Very weird.

Re: Thursday, March 1, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]

FJ was an instaget for me... probably because I'm a history geek.

Was this the first time the tiebreaker's been used? Interesting to see.

Hey guys... haven't posted in a long, long time because... well, nothing seemed too out-of-the-world to comment upon. Until tonight. Um... wow. That was an ending, eh?

I spent nearly 30 minutes on Google today and couldn't come even close to getting the FJ. Wow. Congrats to anyone out there who got it.

I'm surprised that Sean apparently didn't dispute him not getting the answer correct on the question concerning the Unification Church. He said the Moonies... I'm not sure if that's considered an insulting term or not, but my wife and I agreed it would be like "Jeopardy!" looking for an an...

Preach it. If she had bet wiser, she would have won... and I had no idea on the FJ question.

But I liked her as a contestant --- "perky" comes to mind, and she looked like she was having a lot of fun. Which means a lot.

Boy, I feel like a dope... for some reason I thought "contiguous" used in this context meant two states together... i.e., California and Oregon.

D'oh!

Re: Friday, April 22, 2016 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]

I got FJ correct just by thinking, okay, who was off-the-wall famous and kind of looney in this time frame for the UK?

Best answer I could come up with was Lord Byron.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart.

Sometimes.

Yep, I choked up a bit when Alex did. Good job, mom!

And librarians rule. Margaret was impressive indeed.

As to FJ, I visualized a map of the Canadian/American border, and stopped when I got to Idaho. Made sense. :-)

Congrats to Ken, for proudly representing our home state of New Hampshire!

I imagine he's a strong presence in court.

I goofed on FJ, overlooking the 100 Years War part of the clue and instantly assumed, "King of America."
