It's test registration time again. My odd work hours have meant that I can't watch regularly these days (or sign up for the test for any night except the last one), but I happened to see a promo for it tonight.

PowerBuilder3 posted:Was that the only time in Jeopary history that one 1 question was answered wrong across all players and both boards. There was a Tournament of Champions game eons ago where no one missed anything. SpiderHyphenMan posted:I think it's extremely funny that he lost the day he was set to eclipse Jennings's record, but also I hope that he plays in the 2019 Tournament of Champions and wins enough to knock that fraud Kravis out of the three-spot, and have the match between him, Brad, and Ken advertised as the meeting of the undisputed three greatest game show contestants in American history. Brad made mincemeat out of Ken. I'd love to see him against James.

Besides being banned after winning on Jeopardy for lying about her background, she supposedly argued with Alex over an incorrect answer.

I didn't watch the GOAT episodes when they originally aired, so it actually worked out as a nice treat the last two weeks. I took special joy when I got things right that they missed. Can't believe that James didn't get Iago in the last Final Jeopardy.

BaronVonVaderham posted:Last night was a lesson to listen to my instincts. I answered Morrison first, then changed to Angelou at the last second as the song wrapped up. I couldn't think of Morrison's name. I could name her books and finally could remember Toni, but the last name escaped me. It helped to remember that when Oprah's show was on, she absolutely adored Morrison. My local CBS affiliate shows an episode on Saturdays. They've been from 2018ish lately.I remember the champion but none of the details of the shows, so that's worked.

Tokelau All Star posted:Is this playing at 1.25x speed? I think so. Everyone sounded like they were on cocaine. Plus, they didn't even come close the clearing either board, which seems to indicate the game was a lot slower when it originally aired. The biggest change for me was how vague many of the clues were. It's going to be fun watching the changes in the classic episodes. My parents were glued to Jeopardy each and every night by 1988 and I can recall some of the stuff changing, but not when. The categories weren't a secret each round for probably the first decade when they upgraded the effects. Of course there is a Jeopardy history wiki RC and Moon Pie fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Jul 21, 2020 |

My cable crapped out just before the final, so I didn't get to see the reaction. Greg had a big lead, so what was he thinking? Alex called him chicken in the first episode. Did he take it to heart? Other things I noticed: - The podium lights didn't always work when a contestant rang in. - Two players rang in at the same time and Alex wasn't really sure what to do. - The answers are more specific here than in the first game. Clues are so much easier. The Oregon Trail clue was the last one in the category and actually had Oregon in the answer. They missed one about the Olympics that had Mount Olympus in the answer. They're not exactly acing these easy clues. I'm looking at J! Archive and it looks like the difficulty was ramped up for the second season. I hope they upload more vault stuff to YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uIk75MBT-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbEy3PHlTdg Bonus: Someone's uploaded this 1974 Art Fleming episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIIWX0m3I-w

The Forrest Bounce was revolutionary, but isn't wild now. Forrest would jump between categories, but he was doing so in order. He wasn't starting in the middle of the category, but rather where it had been left off. This did feel like Jeopardy, though. Much different than those first two games. Spangenberg is on tomorrow. I want to think that I remember his original run.

It's funny what pop culture can lead you to a Final Jeopardy answer. Last year, I was able to get one from remembering the lyrics from The Friends of Mr. Cairo. This nickname for a history-changing weapon of 1945 came from a character in “The Maltese Falcon”. Fat Man.

Looks like they're encouraging contestants to list their original hometowns to try to not make it so obvious everyone lives in California. Alex bragged before tonight's game began that play was feeling more Jeopardy-like. I love you Alex, but you bragged a little early on this one.

Jeopardy has always been a constant in life. My Mom can't remember when she and Dad began tuning into the Trebek version, but probably from the start as she had been a fan of the Fleming show. It was a nightly ritual at 7:30. On the rare occasion we were driving elsewhere, we'd listen in the car as Channel 6's frequency equated to 87.7 on your FM dial. No matter what changes there are in what you did or where you went. You might not eat the dinner table, but you better be in the room for family Jeopardy competition. He really was another family member to me and apparently everyone. The CBS NFL halftime show just had a tribute a couple of minutes ago. I got interested in trivia because I wanted to go on Jeopardy, rep my rural hometown and meet Trebek. I'm still quite proud of sweeping a Shakepeare category once in family competition because I had spent free moments at work reading Wikipedia. I'll never get to meet Alex, but I saw so much of him, I want to think I kind of did. Cheers to the ultimate arbiter of facts, a man bold enough to chase after a robber in his boxers (and tear his Achilles) and who accidentally once got blitzed out of his mind on pot brownies at a party.

I figured there was a tribute as it's not the first time Jeopardy has had a little addendum to a show that didn't air locally. I did march down to the library today to check out his memoir. I'm currently through the sitting on a pony story.
