Even weirder for me, when I was reading one of the de Havilland tributes I asked myself why they hadn't listed Rebecca, until it hit me that it was her sister in that movie, so I knew the answer instantly because I had just had it in my head. 1 Link to comment

They always start Jeopardy! about a minute early (wall clock time) so when you want to record Jeopardy! you've got to DVR Wheel of Fortune at 7 and then Jeopardy at 7:30 Can't you set your DVR to start recording 1 minute or 5 minutes early? I can on mine. Link to comment
Robert Lynch July 28, 2020 Share July 28, 2020 It’s weird how energetic both Regis and Trebek were in the early 90s. 1992 is the year I went to Disney Orlando on my birthday trip on my 9th birthday. Good times. 3 Link to comment

I don't suppose they would have accepted, "Who was the woman who wrote Crimes Of The Heart?" I just could not think of her name. I never would have come up with either of the other two -- or their plays. I was thinking Paula Vogel for “How I Learned to Drive” but wasn’t sure if that was from the 80s or 90s.

BuckeyeLou July 28, 2020 Share July 28, 2020 I just loved how much fun Regis & Alex were having teasing each other....you could tell Alex was getting a kick out of Regis. That was a fun episode to watch, Carol Burnett was fun too. 5 Link to comment
zoey1996 July 28, 2020 Share July 28, 2020 Enjoyed the celeb Jeopardy! w/Burnett, Mills, Philbin. I was never a big fan of Regis in any of his iterations, but still nice to see him in this. 2 Link to comment

saber5055 July 28, 2020 Share July 28, 2020 Okay so I teared up a little when Regis was introduced. Two hosts on the radio station I listen to had interviewed Regis when he visited Chicago in various years, and the interviews had been playing on the radio. They were so fun and funny. Both said Regis was the same before, during and after the interviews, exactly as he was on Jeopardy. He interacted with these radio guys the same as he did with Trebek, and they enjoyed him as much as Alex did. Yeah, I teared up okay, I sure did. It's been a while since I've done TSs, but I got clams, Alabama, Vogue and Erik the Red. There was another TS that I not get correct, even when I said it out loud to my teevee. So of course that one is gone from memory. I did not know Rasputin had a real name. I guessed Dracula. Go ahead and laugh. 5 3 Link to comment

Part of me will always be a tiny bit biased against the 1997-2001 theme because I love the 1992-1997 theme so much (which is the 1984-1992 theme with BONGOS!)--I'll still listen to it, I guess I am just kind of floored how many people prefer it to the first two (well, three, season 8 in 1991-1992 had the original version in a lower key), but I DID love seeing the Sushi Bar set again.

Today I said the Edmund Fitzgerald, but with the clue I got it correct. I don't guess before the clue is shown, but tonight I said Cutty Sark. Then got it correct after thinking, "Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria ... no, Mayflower." My money is on both Nathan and Harry knowing beer was the safe beverage while water was not back then. That's pretty common knowledge passed on in high-school history classes, They just didn't remember the Mayflower, but both answering Budweiser was pretty funny. I am a fan of Jodie's, and Nathan is a favorite favorite of mine. I've never seen the appeal of Harry until this show. Wow, now I'm a BIG fan. So, thanks show.

Then when the clue specified the years (1980s), I couldn’t come up with the correct name. We’re having thunderstorms, so missed portions of tonight’s show.

I listed all the famous ships that came to mind before the clue was revealed. Mayflower wasn't one of them, but I saw 1620 and got it immediately. I learned beer was safer than water from a family story. The town my European mother was from was under siege way back in the 1100s or so, and surrendered when they ran out of beer. 2 6 Link to comment

lb60 July 29, 2020 Share July 29, 2020 Awww, I love Charles Barkley. Philly in da house!! Martha was annoying. Had she ever seen the show? FJ=instaget 4 Link to comment
saber5055 July 30, 2020 Share July 30, 2020 (edited) Charles was funny with his comment that he wasn't buzzing in unless he really knew the answer. Sorry that Martha won based on her inability to speak even one complete sentence in the form of a question. If she had cut out all the blah blah blah from each answer, maybe those last clues would have gotten revealed. Lots of TSs. I got Red Baron (it's a pizza brand too!), both zoo TSs of Illinois and Omaha (because I love me all zoos), Shirley MacLaine, Peter Lawford, Stephen Hawking and Buffalo Bill. If only I were famous, I could get on one of these Celebrity Jeopardy editions and do well. For FJ I said South Pacific and was so sure I was correct given JFK's Navy experience. Never gave Camelot a thought. But I did laugh at Charles' Cats answer, especially since in present day that movie is getting hot-coal raked mercilessly. So it was a timely/not timely good/wrong answer. In the shallow end of the pool, I haven't been able to watch any CBS shows since TV went digital, causing that network to be no longer available, so haven't seen Survivor for a decade plus. I had forgotten how cute Jeff Probst is, and how even better he looks on HDTV. Nice plus to today's episode. Edited July 30, 2020 by saber5055 2 Link to comment

saber5055 July 31, 2020 Share July 31, 2020 Loved when Trebek asked Eric Idle why did Monty Python's Flying Circus become so popular, and he replied because it's funny. I was a huge Python fan, watched it every week, and love everything each cast member has done since. Wayne Brady is so handsome, I could stare at him all day. Turns out he's smart, too. China Beach was my fav show back in that day. Sad that Wayne didn't bet more in FJ, but I thought Eric's charity was the best one, and the one that would get full benefit of the money without most of it going to PR people, advertising and promotional materials and CEOs and such. So I'm glad he won. Only TS today was shilling. I once had a dog I named Five Shillings. His mom was "Crown" Jewel. (Five shillings is a crown.) 1 7 Link to comment

UYI August 1, 2020 Share August 1, 2020 (edited) I feel like the show rerunning the Million Dollar Masters tournament these next two weeks is probably a way to throw a bone to Brad Rutter (which is kind of weird to say about the richest game show contestant/winner in history, but here we are), after things just DID NOT go his way during the GOAT tournament back in January, and show people JUST. HOW. GOOD. a player he is when he's on.

saber5055 August 1, 2020 Share August 1, 2020 I love all three of Fridays contestants. Love. I would have been happy with any of them winning, although I was pleased Michael got to keep his Undefeated title. Not many TSs, the only one I got was Friar Tuck. I guess the missed DD would be a SS (Single Stumper) instead of a TS. Got that one since my cell previously was via Sprint. I said Sylvania for FJ which, if you think about it, is the best answer ever ... if only there were such a country. 2 1 Link to comment
