I don’t understand why a category in Double Jeopardy was labeled “Quick Cities”. The clues didn’t have anything to do with speed. I expected the questions would be something like: “What is Grand Rapids, Michigan?”, or “Where is Speedway, Indiana?” What gives?
What did I learn from watching Jeopardy tonight? None of the contestants are Garth Brooks fans.
If I counted correctly, tonight’s show had the 3rd Emily in the past week.
This one made a strong comeback from oblivion until that unfortunate Jefferson Starship boo-boo.
Strong group of past winners tonight. Had to be happy for Nick from my hometown of Queens.
I went with Liberty Bell but honestly thought 1753 was too early for it.
Shocked that no one knew the guy with friends in low places. Horrors!
Ten years of French class many decades ago led me to the decorative craft.
“Hollywood North” is a very well-known location for shooting movies and TV shows. Obviously cheaper than filming in California. But I’d have thought that it’s more than 1100 miles north of LA. Air miles, I guess.
The elf-fairy beverage was tricky but I thought of it.
I couldn’t watch the show tonight as I was entertaining a guest. Anyways, my first thought was the Liberty Bell, but I dismissed it as I figured that it was made sometime later. For lack of something better, I went for Plymouth Rock, but I knew that wasn’t going to fly. While we’re on the same subject, perhaps it would be high time to forge a new Liberty Bell, and one that won’t crack this time around. I mean, how hard can that be? In that way, the bell can be something that is useful for all time.
I went to Plymouth Rock many years ago. It has “1620” engraved on it.
Yes,, I’m fully aware of that.. As I had previously stated, ‘I knew that Plymouth Rock’ wouldn’t fly.
It would if they built a big enough catapult.
