Season premiere is tonight!

5/5!!! A perfect week!!

Yeah, that’s bs. Even when I was on almost 20 years ago, if you were on the Art Fleming show, you could be on again. That Jeopardy and this one are 2 different shows. Now, the second chances tournament, IMO, that’s the unfair thing. (Unless they let me on again).

Heh I got FJ because Einstein was the only elderly person I could think of in New Jersey at that time.

I got FJ because I remembered it couldn't be the inaugural speech because in days of yore, it was held in March. Though, apparently, the very first Inauguration was actually in April

Boo - no one knowing Restaurant at the End of the Universe. For some reason, I got FJ from the part about it not taking effect til Jan.

3/5!

I’m in! And like the Mets before the season actually starts , am enjoying my perfect record so far.

Aw, today was the very last day of filming the series.

They might just be showing repeats. It’s kind of confusing. No, with Comcast we only get the DC channels.

I just saw horrible news - they are moving Jeopardy to 330 pm in the Washington DC area. Do they think people don’t work during the day anymore?

Heh. Not that I’ve been thinking about this for 18 years, but my original idea was we’d all play against each other and the last two left would play against Ken again.

We are getting close to the 20th anniversary (just 2 years away) so hope isn’t totally gone.

I know I’m feeling sorry for myself but the second chances tournament is bugging the hell out of me. When do I get a second chance - where’s the KenVictims tournament?

2/5 with 2*

Sigh. They really had to end the season with a clue about that bastard Izaak Walton.

Its official announcement. Damn. Were they not paying attention? She's getting worse as host.

After two episodes where I got FJ and none of the contestants didn't get it, I missed last night. And grr- Eeyore is my spirit animal.

4/5 with 1*

One can never read too many British mysteries as a kid.

3/5!

4/5!! Curse you soybeans preventing a perfect week.

It took me a few seconds but I did get FJ!

It took me a second for FJ because while I know the neighborhood I never think of Ford’s Theatre with that adjective. But nothing else that’s a historic site is that close to the Hoover Building (if you are talking yards away)

Very weird episode for the famous 33 one - I'm hoping that they knew when they made it that there was going to be another season. Especially since he hasn't bought The Car yet (I still think that's going to be the final scene of the series). Another Terry Pratchett shout out - Nobbs! And, apparently, one of the names on the guest list was Colin Dexter.
