WHAT IS NETFLIX?
On September 29, 2023, Netflix closed its DVD delivery service with this blog post: “In 1998, we delivered our first DVD. This morning, we shipped our last. For 25 years, we redefined how people watched films and series at home, and shared the excitement as they opened their mailboxes to our iconic red envelopes…. Thank you for loving our red envelopes, sharing countless movie nights with us at home and being part of our final season.” They’ve got a video on there as well as milestone infographics.
Per The Verge, the parent company of Redbox made several offers to buy Netflix’s DVD service but was turned down. Redbox, with its red kiosks, is the leading company in the curbside DVD rental market.
Fred bet it all and doubled his score to $16,800.
Danielle bet it all, too. She doubled her score to $33,600.
Dennis bet $3,003 and won the game with $33,603. Dennis Chase now joins Jen Jazwinski and Nick Cascone in the finals. We will see them battle it out next week.

Football games in our area overshadowed the Jeopardy game shows last Thursday and Friday so we’ll have to look towards next week.
This was a powerhouse trio. The DDS were all easy. So was the final, but like Jason, I spaced out, and all I could think of was Panda Express, which I knew was wrong.
When football runs long, as it often does, we get all of “Jeopardy!” and they follow it with “Wheel” in progress, which sometimes is only 10-15 minutes.
Our local CBS affiliate carries Wheel and J!, and they have two channels. So, very, very often, if something is going to cover that, they put it on that second channel. Well, today, college football was on both. 🙁
So, they don’t run them whole – just when the football talking heads finally zip it.
Our broadcast was half covered by college football. But, it came on just as the show returned for the start of DJ. I noticed that the first round had scored excellently.
Dennis was methodical, but, Danielle kept it competitive. I have to admit, I TOTALLY and COMPLETELY zoned on Final. So, of course, I didn’t get it.
So, a few of these semifinal games have been barn burners. I hope the finals are just as exciting!
