As VJ had predicted, another basketball game had preempted the Jeopardy game in my area on prime time last Friday. Well, I subsequently programmed the VCR to tape the game for early Saturday morning as VJ suggested, but the network scheduling was haphazard to say the least for that time period. Anyways, the VCR taped about 75% of the Jeopardy game, and at that point, the VCR had shut off If I do program the VCR again for that early time slot, I better allow for a full hour of the programming time if I have any chance of taping the entire game. I mean, on the Internet, the Jeopardy game was rescheduled for 3:07 A.M EDST., but the cable TV schedule listed it as 3:00 A.M. EDST. Well, I programmed the VCR to start at 2:57 A.M. EDST and to end at 3:43 A.M. Actually, the Jeopardy game didn’t begin until sometime around 3:22 A.M. EDST. What a bummer!
Yeah, even the first few seconds of the Jeopardy game’s introduction was cut off early Saturday morning as Johnny Gilbert immediately appeared to announce the beginning of the game.
Wow, Queen Victoria really left them in her wake. Very impressive.
Only feeble FJ answer I could think of was Turkistan which is actually Turkmenistan and not the right answer here.
Not shocked no one knew that once well-known, clever comedian/movie star whose heyday was in the 70s/80s. But surely thought someone would know the two mints in one.
Ben is one of the admins of the FB contestants group, and a real southern gentleman.
Having ethnicity from the Ukraine (name only, father’s family Polish through and through), I thought of that, of course, but only for a literal second. Then, I thought of “stans” and got it correct.
Victoria was really “ripping and tearing”. No DD, and still on top. Good going for get!
The comedian, in their defense, didn’t have a good picture, there. I got it, not, I don’t recall him in spectacles or wearing a hat as a rule. His hair really gives it away.
Not, this tourney keeps on keepin’ on!!
Tomorrow marks the 60th anniversary of the game show Jeopardy.
Well, there was a 5 year lapse between the years 1979 and 1984 as the Jeopardy game show had become increasingly gimmickry during the latter part of the 1970s. This was due to to the ‘high rollers’ fad that was typical of many game shows at the time. That in turn had eventually disillusioned many Jeopardy fans, and in which resulted in the subsequent cancellation of the show due to the dismally poor ratings.
I wonder what the ratings are like this season with one endless tournament after another.
I think that this season’s ratings are at least as strong as the prior seasons. No, the endless tournaments of this season would in no way compare with the Jeopardy shows during the latter part of the 1970s.as the format in those shows went hopelessly berserk.
With all that being said, I do prefer watching the regular Jeopardy games.
