An '80s category? More, please!
A Contemporary Art FJ? Never again, please!

Amen, and Amen. (Not that the writers are paying any attention to our votes, but....)

Sorry. My Trigger finger got itchy and I repeated the above message.

I agree: John's second game was a whole different thing compared to his first game. He looked tough in this one. Got zero LT for the entire J! round and nearly half of DJ! Then started picking up the trash on the tougher clues late in the game with Burt Lancaster, Shogun, Decameron, and ammonia. No ...

I almost went the way of Jill on this FJ. Read the clue, IMMEDIATELY knew this had to do with HMS Bounty, and at first COULD. NOT. COME. UP. WITH. THE. DARNED. NAMES. I had to backtrack to Bounty = Captain Bligh = Fletcher Christian = where the heck did he and his men land? I came up with Pitcairn a...

...I didn’t realize the kid got stuck with such an unusual first and middle name. Yeah, who the heck would name their poor kid after a bleeping DAY? Sincerely, Wednesday Addams and Tuesday Weld :) I once heard, "If Tuesday Weld married Frederick March 2nd, she'd be Tuesday, March 2nd." :mrgreen:

Costello: So who was the contestant in the middle chair in today's Jeopardy? Abbott: Guess. Costello: I don't know, that's why I'm asking you. Abbott: I already told you. Costello: What do you mean? Abbott: I already told you - Guess. Costello: You're telling me to take a guess when I don't know wh...

I didn't see FJ as a coin flip. The quote very strongly outlines Hoover's policy of non-intervention. It's the policy that lost him the election against FDR. It's the polar opposite of FDR's policy of extensive government help to end the Depression. If that quote had somehow come out of FDR's mouth...

Another nice, solid win for the champ. Congrats to Anneke! Now in the J! Players' HoF.

Solid game here: 44 right, 3 wrong, instaget FJ, Coryat $32,400. LT Being and Nothingness, The Art of Love, Carrie.

I am prepared for pornstaches to return and will not be a curmudgeon. But I'll be glad when the current facial hair fad goes out of fashion, not for the looks, but just because I have disdain for the religions that impose beards and veils and head coverings. If your teachings are so damn good, why ...

It is done. I don't know if this is my first superfecto, but if I've ever had one, it's been a long, long time. Yay for Freud.

Several people here have said they used fairly creative ways to suss out Freud, and more power.... I knew that Freud (a Jew) fled Germany to escape Nazi persecution, and lived out his life in London, dying there in 1939. So for a change I went through a front door to get to this answer, although som...

Bartok, Berlioz, Borodin, Bruckner, Barber

Not to mention Barber, Balakirev, Bellini, Bernstein, Bizet, Buxtehude, Bruch...yeah, when I saw this category I was loaded for bear.

When in doubt, blurt out Freud.

Sounds like a fine recipe for bringing unwanted attention upon yourself in public places. But hey, go for it.

New contestant Dave was a retired MMA fighter, but today Anneke's kung fu was stronger. Did OK in this game: 41 right, instaget FJ, Coryat over $31K. I wonder if "The Mousetrap" is in the public domain now, or whether troupes still have to pay royalties. Naaahhh. Surely not after all this time. Cong...

The headshake at young people today was crickets heard for Fibber McGee’s partner. The Christie play also going TS surprised me more as that appeared in a clue last season. Watch the show people. It helps. The FJ! category had me eliminate the place that showed up on December 18th. I then told myse...

Exactly right. Now let's go yell at some young people to get off the lawn.

Congrats to Jessica on a second really fine win. At my house? LT on Joe Cool, moon (magnificent desolation), sobriquet, (the) Addams (family), and rotator cuff, plus instaget FJ to go 3-for-3 this week. :mrgreen: Good to see that Evan was able to dig himself out of a bad hole, but too bad it wasn't ...

Three out of the five composers got pronounced incorrectly. Wagner with w sound rather than a v, Verdi with the first syllable rhyming with fur rather than fair, and Haydn to rhyme with maiden rather than Biden. So of course Alex only asks for a repeat on one response in the category--the correctly...

shocked that only 1 contestant got that final jeopardy clue....i have never seen an episode of the show and i got it correct...i thought jeopardy contestants love their cable based tv shows Ditto. I have also never seen an episode. But how's this for TOM? 1) TV drama + 2) guns involved + 3) title i...

This triple-stumper FJ reminds me of one from a couple months ago that some thought obscure, about Sherlock Holmes. I thought everybody read Robert Louis Stevenson as a kid, at least "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." I had "Hyde" in a book with other stories, some taking place in Samoa. And I was fascinat...
