Didn't James Cromwell play Phillip Bauer on 24? He wasn't in Firesign Theatre.

It looks like I'm totally confused
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

At least you're right, I think, that the show has not asked about Firesign Theatre, in at least 23 years

If they ever do, probably won't be a video clue...

Here's a judges' question: For some reason, I said Monty Python's Flying Circus. Acceptable?

I would say no (Circus is a show, not the group), but I'm rather harsh in my judging.

Would this be like when someone adds correct lyrics that are not a part of the song title (which is consistently judged acceptable)?

I'm thinking more about the fact that the troupe's name comes from the title of the show, not the other way around. The very end of this clip is particularly illuminating...

I am disappointed that Ken missed the chance to say “Right, Stephen” when Stephen got Steven Wright right.

For FJ! I said The Sting which I knew was made before 1980. Even with the Nazis, I have a hard time thinking of Raiders as being pinned to a time.

Same response. Knew The Sting was too early, but James Bond made me think of casinos and tuxedos and subterfuge. Never made the connection to Raiders.
I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

The sequel (actually a prequel) tried to move in that direction with its opening nightclub scene.

Got FJ right with the full title. Is it known if "Indiana Jones" would have been accepted? I usually think of them as Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones 2, etc...
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

They would have accepted "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark", because that title was used promotionally for a while, but not just "Indiana Jones".
