    Why is Luke back already? Hasn't it only been a week?

    My best guess.....this was the first "live" show....all the previous ones were taped ahead of time right?   Maybe they just didn't want to go public with it until they had to explain why Paula was suddenly there.

    Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band

     

    what I hear: Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night

    actual lyrics: Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

     

    And I know I'm not the only one...

    You're not.....I ALSO thought it was "Wrapped up like a douche".....followed by "Another roar in the night"

    Even better that he had learned from observing his kids! 
     

    OMG! I totally missed that! 😮
     

    That was really interesting to see how Dolly’s sister managed to play the guitar with those nails!

    I know Stella Parton isn't as famous as Dolly of course, but I still can't believe that panel couldn't figure it out ....they LOOK like sisters.....and for me, if I don't have a pick handy, I can't play guitar ....Stella has them built in.

  4. Tonight's Name That Tune,  in particular the second half....was soooooper easy.  Practically all songs from the 70s and 80s.  Ok....who didn't get Uptown Girl right off the clue?   Or when you saw the word "Iceberg" in the first clue.  Had to be Titanic right?  First half not so much.....more recent tunes I don't know so well.....got lucky on a couple.  Just don't know any Jennifer Lopez and very little Katy Perry outside of "I kissed a Girl". I'm an older guy so c'mon....

    Jane sure looked alluring tonight didn't she?    "Hey dude......my face is UP HERE!"

  5. But they have no BALLS......I've not seen one person yet who has been willing to challenge for the higher offer....yet they talk smack.  And those multiple choice questions just aren't that hard......how do I know this? ......because I answered them too.....and I'm just your garden variety idiot with a high school diploma.   Plus I believe they kinda make it easier on the challengers in the final chase.  And she reads kind of slow.  They got lucky.  I'm hoping in future episodes.....the high end offers are much more seductive.

  6. I didn't watch the last episode....but I know for a fact that not all songs that have been used as tv themes were not written for that purpose....such as Billy Joel's "My Life" or Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait"....therefore, the proper titles should be required.  When this show debuted....I was only interested in the game itself....if they're gonna pepper every episode with sobby backstories then it will drive me away.  I don't watch The Wall anymore, or AGT....or Idol....or the Voice..or Millionaire....or even American Ninja Warrior and Press Your Luck.....because I just can't take anymore of it.  I'd like to watch entertainment that doesn't remind me that life sucks. We all have issues in our lives.   As for Randy....go get a burger dawg....you're lookin frail.

  7. Yeah....I prefer the older best two of three match play setup they did on the Jim Perry/Bob Eubanks versions.  And I guess 40 years later, the money is much more generous....seeing that the money cards used to begin with $200.  So the lady who won $11,000 on the Eubanks version, that was a pretty big win....and you didn't have the option to not play the big bet card at the end.

    I realize the show is an hour long so they really drag things out....the dramatic music,  the annoying contestants over celebrating every single successful call....really subtracts from it.  The faster paced shows from the 70s and 80s are more fun to watch.  Those episodes can still be seen daily on Buzzr.

  8. So it appears these "geniuses" don't do so well in the cash builder ... yet they get lucky guessing on multiple choice and are praised for defeating the chaser?  I'm sure glad James was able to mow them down quickly.

    A better show was 500 questions.....let's have that show back.

    I'm almost sure that in the Tom Kennedy version back in the '70's, as long as you said the whole title, you were golden.  So 'Don't You Need Somebody to Love' would be acceptable for 'Somebody To Love'.  And conversely, 'Everything I Do' would be not accepted for 'Everything I Do, I Do It For You'.

    The way Jane explained it on WWDTM, Jane, Randy, crew and contestants flew to Australia where they were immediately tested and then quarantined for two weeks.  I would hope they would let a contestant bring a plus one (or two).  Jane said she might seem over the top on the show because she just quarantined alone in a hotel room for two weeks and was so grateful to be around people.

    I'm pretty sure that even on the Kennedy version...you needed the exact title.

    Play that Funky Music was one where I had it off the clue alone....I didn't need the five notes.  And "white boy" isn't in the title.  Even if we didn't have so much political correctness then.

  10. It must be nice to be a place in the world where life looks normal.  It wasn't easy on them either. ..but they listened and took it seriously.  It isn't totally gone....but they have it controlled.  Not nearly the dumpster fire it has become in the U.S.

  11. Gee thanks.....a HOVERBOARD!!!  That futuristic invention that doesn't even hover.  I hope they can make them so they don't burn up now. 

    I once came across a funny cartoon on youtube that featured Marty McFly seeing the 2015 hoverboard and being confronted by an angry Biff and Marty using the board trying to get away....but the board is super slow and Biff easily pummels him.

    They're changing the games up which is good.....the one where they play the songs in a different style really had me confused.  And they had a form of melody roulette that chose the musical genre....some good for me.....others like hip hop I don't relate to so much....but I'm not everybody.  

  12. Yes I'll admit it ...I'm old enough to say I watched this show on NBC daytime with Art Fleming while Alex was hosting Wizard of Odds, High Rollers, and Double Dare among his many hosting jobs before he became the Jeopardy legend he became....surely it will never be the same....but Ken Jennings did a wonderful job maintaining it in a way that would have Alex looking down from heaven like a proud father.  Kudos....I hope he's made permanent.

  13. I going to use this thread one last time to comment on the host....I know he hasn't been named permanently....but Ken Jennings presented the game  almost as if Alex were speaking through him....he's perfect for the role.....that is all.  Like everything else.....you'll get used to him.
