New old games in the J! Archive

[seaborgium]

How many of us today could suss out the desired response to DJ!2, as Anita did?

My response was the last two words of Anita's, but I think that's good enough.

I had the 2nd and 4th for the FJ! clue and did not bother trying to think of more.

Need a capital C in DJ24.

Had the same two as you in FJ. Also had the same two words as Sg in the previous game, which is probably all they wanted.

Done, thanks.

Player pics of Terry Floren, Roger Silverstein and Jim Healow:

Spoiler

Appropriate for Terry to get J11 and I expected to hit from 4th podium on J26.

Another tie game archived. Roger threw Terry a lifeline. What will happen in the sequel? I'll archive it after I go up the line to a S6, S7, S8 audio, back down to S7, S6 and then the ensuing S5 game.

Fixed, thanks. Always hard to spot the ! for i when it's next to lower case Ls.

Why was it appropriate Terry got J11? And why did you expect J26 to be a TS? They all look old enough to remember that show. (Ended in 1971).

A dozen contestants archived before Terry have been introduced as firefighters, and all of them were men.

Movies are not your specialty. Toto was played by Terry.

Sure, I would think J! players can do That Girl = Marlo Thomas or the other way around. The character name is a slightly different level and I expected a lawyer and doctor to not care about TV fluff while Terry did pick clue 1 in the category, she immediately switched out. When the category was avoided until near the end of the round I sensed my 4th podium light would get the pick up.

I'm pretty sure we welcome some of those WORDY SONGS to the J-Canon, but I'm more interested in welcoming Frick & Frack, who you should definitely add to your flashcards.

My flashcards are the only reason I got That Girl's name. I've never seen an episode.

Spoiler

Was not keeping score in S6, so don't know if I got the FJ! clue right back then. I was happy today to get it when the other name that occurred to me was who Bruce wrote.

Spoiler

Some tough stuff in the CELEBRITY JEOPARDY! category and perhaps Myron finds a welcome to the canon?

The FJ! clue? No so tough.

Riccarla is another on the show long before there was a sniff of the SCC when she might have qualified for one.

Archivists do not have Jim Scot #4. Audio or video.

[Bamaman]

Did Alex do an impersonation of the subject in J19 when reading the clue (or at least the first word)?

Shazam! You're right. It's such a cliche thing to do it did not even register to my ears as something to archive. Note added, thanks. I mean, thank you, thank you, thank you.

You've got the J! end-of-round signal a column to the left, on J10.
DJ8 needs a capital L for We the Living. Also, did the quotation indeed end with a period in the clue?


Dang, Riccarla hit the last DD while $1,400 behind Jim and bet $1,000, then ended the round twenty clues later still $400 behind him.

L and end-of-round fixed, thanks. Yes, the quote did have the period in there.

I find 3 welcomes: talk show pioneer Virginia Graham ("Girl Talk"), talk show host Rob Weller ("Home"), and surprisingly, Robert Culp (as a response). You might also argue that knowing that Davy Jones was a jockey is new to the J-Canon, unless there's something else in the clue I missed.

From a TuneIn recording here is 6/4/91: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7553

I’m wondering if TuneIn might have Seth Davis’s last game? You might remember the recording he shared was truncated so the archive is incomplete.
https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=4983

TuneIn's Jeopardy! Radio Classics channel—free or paid—hasn't aired anything from Season 8—all of their episodes have been from 1, 7, and 17—and they haven't shown any indication that this might be the case in the future, either.

As luck would have it, last week they moved to the first part of Season 8, and today the remainder of this game began playing on TuneIn.

It would not be the last time that Steve was a little trigger happy.
