In case you're interested, my Bosco's cancer came back with a vengeance and Dr. E. helped him cross the bridge this morning.

The most amazing Christmas miracle just happened. Being bored and considering going to bed early to listen to the radio, I thought WTH, I'll scan the tv channels for the heck of it, it's been a while.

BOSCO'S FINE!!  We won't know just what the lumps were until the lab does their thing - in about two weeks. But Dr. E. got it all and he's all stapled up, with a drain, hoping to come home today.  YAY

Am I the only one who finds this somewhat creepy?

I know I'm very late to this, but no, you're not the only one. And it's not because the dog is abnormally large. It's because it's looking at me sideways with its big creepy eye like it wants to bite my face off. Also, it has robot feet.

Other than that, it's fine.

We're leaving on our Kansas/Nebraska trip today. Center of Continental USA at Lebanon KS, Willa Cather, Pioneer Village museum at Minden, Great Platte River Archway near Kearney, Car Henge, Alliance, Arikaree Breaks, High Plains Museum at Goodland, KS. The planned trip has been postponed twice, so I hope the third time's the charm!

Was the Cheers Jeopardy episode shot on the actual Jeopardy set?  The set has been redesigned several times so I'm not sure.

Looking at the Cheers filming location for that episode on IMDb it says it was filmed at Paramount Studios in Hollywood where all the Cheers episodes were filmed.

Google tells me J! was/is filmed in:

Quote

 

Jeopardy! is filmed at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California: 

The show has been filmed at several locations over the years, including:

NBC Studios in New York City: The original series was filmed in Studio 6A

NBC's Burbank Studios in Burbank, California: The All-New Jeopardy! was filmed in Studio 3

Metromedia Stage 7 in Hollywood: The Trebek version was initially filmed here, but moved to Hollywood Center Studios in 1985 

 

So I would say no, it was not filmed on the J! set.

I finally watched "How Green Was My Valley" on Amazon Prime. I'm not sure why Jeopardy! likes that movie so much.

I’ve never seen it, but I don’t think “Jeopardy” is actually endorsing it. Ken said that it was Alex’s favorite movie. And I don’t know about you, but I’ve been known to like some pretty crappy movies, just because. Nostalgia, or something about it just spoke to me at the time. So who knows why Alex liked that one, but I guess you’d have to factor in the personal bias.

On this date in 1975, the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in a storm on Lake Superior, killing all 29 aboard.  Thank you, CBS Sunday Morning for that little tidbit, and also for putting that song in my head!  (They played the song while they had that blurb on screen.)

And you just had to share. 😘😆

I lost my cool today. I know I'll get it back, but whew! I was never all that cool to begin with, but I nearly blew my own head off, I got so worked up about something.

It's weird, because I'm actually great in a crisis. The ability to get super-activated is useful in that circumstance. 

But on a medium day, it's really not a way to add to ones quality of life.

I'm the same, but am also having a bit more of a temper these days than usual.

I've taken to channeling some of my anger into writing thinly-veiled political limericks using my Wordle words to post on the NYT Wordle Review comments section. Seems to be working. Maybe because it's exhausting, LOL.

As to the earlobe crease, my mom, my brother, and I all had/have it. Both Mom & Joe had cardiac issues and had them treated - Mom with a pacemaker and drugs and Joe just with drugs. They both died from other issues. All 3 of us had/have diabetes. Joe's was not yet insulin-dependent, but Mom was on the Novolog pen insulin and I've followed in her footsteps.

My earlobe crease runs right through my earring hole. LOL.

I noticed their creases a few years before I developed mine - and only noticed it when putting on earrings while looking in a mirror. As far as cardiac issues, so far, so good.

Seems like you've already done a deep-dive research into this, but for anyone, there's this from 2019, for example:

As info, I just posted a forum request for Pop Culture Jeopardy! which streams on Wednesdays, starting tomorrow, December 4th on Prime Video.

I'm looking forward to this. I love when the mothership has pop culture categories in the regular game, so I think I'll enjoy this. I also like Colin Jost. I think he'll be a good host for this.

Thanks. I just logged onto the Prime Video app on my Roku TV shortly after 7 a.m. EST, and there are 3 episodes showing, but I only watched the first segment of the first.

I don’t know how long it typically takes for a new forum to be created, and I don’t know how many posters are itching to post their opinions, but I suspect if you create a thread for it here, they could move it over when the new show forum gets created. 

Or maybe it’s just me, wanting to brag that I got the first FJ despite not knowing pretty much anything else.

I gave it a solid try, of all three available episodes, and it's not for me.  I don't like the host, I don't like the contestants, and I don't like the clues.  I might still add the forum to my home page once it's created, as it's something I might watch occasionally while trying to get back to sleep in the middle of the night, it - by its own am using descriptions at the top of each episode - is not made for me, and I get that.  If I'm in a mood to tolerate it, maybe I could commit a few things to memory to help me do better with the pop culture clues in the regular game.

The Pop J! works for doing laundry, changing sheets, etc., and might help me:

Watching Colin Jost the description of him that came to mind was “mostly harmless”
— which was before they had Douglas Adams in a clue. 
Jost's diction is crisp, so it's easy to follow the game without watching too much.

We now have an adjunct forum to discuss Pop Culture Jeopardy! I'm posting a link to the new forum here, but you'll notice that we also now have clickable buttons for both Celebrity Jeopardy! and Pop Culture Jeopardy! atop the original Jeopardy!  homepage. Thank you to our Mods!

I opened a thread there to discuss the first three episodes that have already dropped.

Every time this happens, I wonder if it's the end of the Primetimer forums. As it is right now, I had to do a lot of scrolling to figure out where I'd be able to reply. (I'm on my phone.)

I wanted to post my score in the FJ Contest thread, but I'm not doing that with this mess that's happening. 

I hope it gets fixed and that this isn't goodbye.

This is the case I was on. I was one of the "3 men 9 women" It doesn't have a lot of details of the case (I'm happy to share), but I thought you might like to know what I've been up to this past week. https://www.cliffordlaw.com/clifford-law-offices-obtains-record-66-million-judgment-against-chicago-plastic-surgeon/

What an unnecessary loss of human life. I’m glad at least the family will be financially comfortable although no amount of money can replace the mother/wife’s life.
