Dann Florek, who played Captain Don Cragen, called it “the doink doink”, and Richard Belzer, who essayed Detective John Munch, described it as “the Dick Wolf cash register sound”!
lol, Jason. Another video I looked at today has a funny segment with Anthony Anderson joking that Mike Post is so rich, he has his own post office and his own bank on his property.
Last night on “Jeopardy!” there was a guy from California (I forget his first name, and they don’t use last names) who said he’d lost on the show, but his sister had won over $200K and gone to the ToC. I imagine someone here will know whom he meant. Can’t be all that many women who’ve won that much. He and his teammates split $140K last night when Buzzy crashed in the final round.
Sorry, I meant last night on “The Chase.” And the guy said he’d lost on “Jeopardy!” I just looked around and saw his name is John.
Howard, J-Archive has his player profile – John Lance — with a link to the profile of his sister, MacKenzie Jones.
MacKenzie went over the $200K mark in her 8th game and she lost the next day. John was in the 9-20-19 game (Jason Z’s 16th game). MacKenzie was in the same ToC as Jason Z, although they were never in the same game.
As we saw, Jason Zuffranieri & Mackenzie Jones did well in their regular games.
Thanks so much.
A slam dunk for FJ. Yes, ‘Law and Order’. I mean, what else could it have possibly been? Actually, both my mother and I came up with the correct response, and rather quickly in fact.
I thought the Final was the show ‘Cops’.
Well at least you were on the right track.
Two of Mike Post’s greatest hits were “Theme to Hill Street Blues” which hit #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 the week ending November 14 1981 and “The Rockford Files,” which also got as high as #10 on Billboard the week ending August 9, 1975. But certainly his “Dun Dun!” sound for L&O has become a cultural touchstone or maybe, more accurately, a meme!
So we end the week with finally a 2 day champion after we had a couple one day winners. 35,000 was the highest payday of the week.
