  1. Perhaps the movie mixup was thinking "Super 8" but blurting "8mm"?
  2. For me it was Mindy "Natalie" Cohn from "Facts of Life".
  3. The JBoard post shows the rerun schedule and the Archive marks the first game of Mayim or Ken hosting. It continues with one host or the other until it switches. https://jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?p=379905#p379905 https://j-archive.com/showseason.php?season=38
  4. Read both books and saw both Myrna Loy movies. If someone I know gets startled I still use "six and nine-tenths inches" in always getting a joy to see Clifton Webb's reaction to the son honking the horn while he works on the car.
  5. You are not doing anything wrong; there is just nothing there with the links. As the daily archivist part of my job is to code the clue with proper link tags even though there is no image in the system. The dream is to someday add the images, but that is not something that can be done with a wave of the wand. It's a different process to capture/upload the images and beyond what I do for my part in getting the new games done. On the JBoard I comment about the media clues a lot because they add time to the process. The archivists have access to an OCR (optical character reader) tool that can take a clue's wording as it appears on the show and then copy/paste it in the archive's input system. It's a great time saver to not have to type each word of a clue and all I have to do for each clue is touch-up such as making word(s) uppercase and adding player/host responses and comments. Where the work bogs down is media clues as the OCR can't read the lines of smaller type closed-captioning. That has to be done word by word and and the whole clue usually takes 3-4 parts as it appears as the words are said. It's a start/stop kind of thing that slower than a regular clue entry. I also have to add <> coding tags for a "this" or seen "here" and such. Sometimes it's not as clear where to add the image (or mp3 or mp4) tag and I have to pause to decide the best spot to insert the (non-working) link. Season 18 (2001-2002) does have working links as the head guy captured all of them when the season ran on GSN. Hope that gives a little insight to the dreaded 404s.
  6. Yes, Sing Sing. If the archive has that kind of error the best explanation is usually that I messed up something, which happens with so many moving parts. I'll see posts here at varying times while the quicker way to get my attention is a correction suggestion. Point your cursor at the clue number and click. From there you can submit a correction. It's fixed now, thank you.
  7. If only there was a place to check: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6878 DJ! clue 1 for periplus
  8. For those that missed Alex tap dancing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jlNZTApYr-B6keiHdtNgBkHWaDMDPSTo/view I posted it on JBoard yesterday: https://jboard.tv/viewtopic.php?p=343134#p343134
  9. Alex was terrific in the three experiences I had to witness him in action. At a contestant test in 1995 Alex was a surprise guest while the tests were graded. He took questions and entertained everyone in the room while we waited for the results. In 2005 I was fortunate enough to be a contestant for the best way to see Alex perform his duties. In 2014 I was an audience member for the taping of the Battle of the Decades 2000s show to see Alex handle the audience questions during breaks. Sad news today though many good memories.
  10. Yes, there is a new episode for 11/3/20. I entered it into the archive about an hour and a half ago: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6858
  11. Yes, Ben in the middle could have won by betting more. With 2800 he had a maximum of 5600 and his 3201 end score was 399 shy of winning the game. Shows without an audience are scheduled to air May 18 - 29 and no shows have been taped since then. The season was originally scheduled to end on July 24th.
  12. That's Jimmy of the Clue Crew and many times in a similar shot you can look for Sarah next to him.
  13. With "Millionaire" gone I have transferred that time gained to archiving the J! episode each morning. Being in the West makes the timing reasonable. I saw the need after two weeks into the season showed little progress with the archiving. You are very welcome and I appreciate your words. Yes, I read here although my regular hangout is jboard.tv.
  14. It may be a day behind though this user does uploads: https://www.dailymotion.com/President_Eisenhower
  15. It's appropriate that Jackie had a "runaway." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Fox
