Congrats once again to Jason! Can't wait to see if he's fully rested come Monday. My last US History course (partly concerning the Jackson era, BTW :lol:) was just a few months ago, so I had no problems with this FJ. LanceJ: Good game! Not going to lie, when I realized it was you in the contestants'...

Misreading the clue and leaving out the "al" on heptagonal cost me ten points and the win, it appears. That's going to hurt.

Congrats to the podium finishers and thanks again as always clt, can't wait for the next one!

Feel fortunate to have gotten this FJ right. Never seen the film in question, it took me a few seconds to connect on atomic bomb, and needed the coin flip to fall the right way. A get's a get. *shrug* When Jason’s run is done, I feel like he’ll be remembered as the Curtis Martin or Frank Gore of Jeo...

I thought Jason was in solid position to extend his win streak coming out of the summer break, but wow has he blown me away so far this week. Hope he can keep it going!

threearruda: Yes, Steven Grade #4 on Daytime J! today. On KGO it moved to 3:00 and is paired with David Muir's World News after running with Millionaire last year. Now it's Tamron Hall 1-2 and GH from 2-3. Thanks, just caught the episode myself. Glad the guide wasn't messing with me. I moved my (ed...

I absolutely LOVE that purple and pink in the intro graphics.

Congrats Jason on win #7! Stellar Coryat score once again.

(Moving the other blurb I had earlier to the J! in media thread).

4TH QUARTER: The Modern Era 10. The ‘90s The list contains one album released in each year of the decade. Name one of the following acts, singers or groups 1990: “Violator” Depeche Mode 1991: “Ten” Pearl Jam 1992: “Countdown to Extinction” Megadeth 1993: “The Sign” Ace of Base 1994: “Ready to Die” ...

The problem with a near-wheelhouse quiz of this type is figuring out how others will respond. I vacillated between “countrypolitan”, “Rickenbacker”, “Murray the K”, and “Alan Freed” on question 8, and picked the worst score of the four. Then I misread the instructions for 9 by saying “Dee Snider” (...

I conflated Los Del Rio and Taco Del Mar. Would love to open up a Macarena themed Taco shop though. Brilliant. I am not much of a taco guy, but I will absolutely go to this. Should’ve sheeped for everything. The los del rio thing was a typo, so I just have to lol at that. Clearly a simple typo. I t...

I've been around TD's long enough to not get too annoyed when what I think is a really good answer turns out to be a (mega-)sheep. But "Marty Robbins".... really? Of course that was still better than the other "really good answer" I considered: Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, who had a pretty big ...

3RD QUARTER: Legacy 7. The Romantic Era Really straight forward. Identify a classical composer from the romantic era given the piece listed [*] Hungarian Dances Johannes Brahms [*] Lohengrin Richard Wagner [*] Peer Gynt Edvard Grieg [*] The New World Symphony Antonin Dvorak [*] Les Troyens Hector B...

QUARTER 2: Singers and Styles 4. International Flavor Answer something about songs/music/musicians not from/about the United States [*] This Spanish duo easily had their biggest success with The Macarena in 1996; come on, you know you want to do the dance Los Del Rio [*] Shakira sang “Waka Waka (Th...

It looks like I should have 5 points if the scores for questions 2 and 3 are accurate. Yeah you're right, thanks for the catch. For some reason I accidentally recorded "3" for those of you who picked selma, with the exception of Peachbox. The rest of the folks in that tab will get an extra point at...

1ST QUARTER: The Basics/Music in other sources 1. Musical Instruments Collage: Identify one of these instruments.

Realized that I likely will not get to the reveal until Wednesday morning, so I'm pushing back the deadline for entries until Tuesday (9/3) at 11:59 pm (eastern time). Hopefully that will help get more folks entered in. Have a great holiday everyone!

Weekend bump, you still have until Monday night to get in on the action!

For what it's worth, I think that piece of information could make for a GREAT FJ clue. Plus, the absolute worst that spoiling that information could do is a one point reduction as a bonus clue. No harm done, as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for the TD, kiddo. Are the bonus questions free guess/no penalty? Yes, apologies for leaving that out. Bonus questions are free of penalty, which is why they don't have the required tag on the google form. I'll amend the opening post as such. For the record, 5-a has always said that he was n...

Welcome to my third TD. In both of my previous millennial-based quizzes, we talked in the threads at length about music by era, and I then got the idea to do a TD entirely devoted to music (or random noises, depending on your feelings). Of course there are lots of directions to take a TD entirely de...
