The design and game goals look kid-oriented but the trivia content is obviously for adults, which might confuse viewers (players?). It won't be renewed, is my prediction.

Re: Reretaken Down
Why's that obvious? Maybe I'm missing something. It looks like it could be fun for people that are the right age. It definitely doesn't look like it's targeted to adults.Robert K S wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 1:33 pm The design and game goals look kid-oriented but the trivia content is obviously for adults...
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Re: Reretaken Down
There's an "interactive cartoon" up on Netflix now called "Cat Burglar." It takes a similar tone, with Looney Tunes-like content and simple quiz questions that if you answer correctly, let you advance the "story." The questions are elementary but get a little trickier as you go along. The intention is to trap viewers into mistakes. I was surprised to learn that Charlie Brooker of Black Mirror is involved with it. The cartoon is an homage to Tex Avery but It's not really clear what the audience for the quiz is. Maybe a bright adolescent?Robert K S wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 8:20 pmTen-year-olds know Avatar? ABBA?MattKnowles wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 7:58 pmWhy's that obvious? Maybe I'm missing something.

Re: Reretaken Down
I don't have Netflix, so I need to ask. Is this something that while watching (streaming), you need to use your remote (if you're watching on TV) to advance the show? If not, how does the interactive part work?davey wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 9:03 pmThere's an "interactive cartoon" up on Netflix now called "Cat Burglar."

Yes, you use the remote. For this it's a matter of pushing left or right using your rewind and fast forward buttons.triviawayne wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 7:36 amI don't have Netflix, so I need to ask.

I've learned there's a number of interactive programs for kids already available on Netflix.

Wheel of Fortune contestants fail to get Mudpuppy. No surprise there.

I was tempted to do "Foxtrot" to set the table.

Re: Reretaken Down
Google's front page leads to information about Rosa (200th birthday) Bonheur. After reading up I was curious about archive hits:
#5331, aired 2007-11-12 ART GAL-ERY $2,000 (Daily Double): The stag shown here is by Rosa Bonheur, the first woman awarded the Grand Cross of this French medal
#5262, aired 2007-06-26 ART HERSTORY $1200: Given government approval to cross-dress, Rosa Bonheur was the first woman given this French award
Funny, how the only two hits were so close for when they showed up and both only wanted the Legion of Honor.

I'm not able to access the archive on my computer or my phone. Anybody else having an issue?

Sinclair tidbits:
Somewhere in the house I have a Little Golden Book of Disney's Bongo, their version of a Sinclair Lewis story about a circus bear. It's part of the movie Fun and Fancy Free from 1947. Neat tidbit of trivia, right?
Today I learned that Disney's The Gnome-Mobile from 1967 is adapted from an earlier work by Upton Sinclair.

Yes! If I recall correctly, you can see them in "The Three Lives of Thomasina" too.
