    Game shows

    Who watches them very often? Family feud I have watched before, Jeopardy fun to play along when I watch it. Price is right when not at work though haven,t watched it for some time. Neighbor of mine was on let's make a deal. Old time. Some came and went growing up, Bob Eubanks real filthy with newlywed game and card sharks. Who watches them or any. I can,t get into wheel of fortune myself.

    I love me some Jeopardy. That about wraps it up for me though. My little brother once appeared on Win Ben Stein's Money and he won Ben Stein's Money. Ben had a fit, thought it should've been a tie.

          Wheel of fortune just seems sad to me. Pat Sajak going through the motions, making lame jokes even he hates, watching him sometimes mercilessly lampooning unwitting contestants but without deriving any visible satisfaction because it seems like no one gets it, Vanna White looking great for her age but also being just as vacuous and earnest in performing a job that requires the mental acuity of a dachsund. And they have been doing this since before I was in college. yikes.
          PLesa excuse the tpyos.

            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Funny.

                Have any of you seen this current Jeopardy champion? I watched him tonight for the first time and it was unreal how he dominated.

                Picked up his 9th win and has about 1/4 of Ken Jennings winnings already. Jennings won 74 times.

                A couple shows ago, he became the first player ever to top the $100,000 mark for one show when he set the one day record of $109k. Today he put up $106k.

                Anyway, seems he was born for this and it wouldn't surprise me if he forces some kind of rule change.

                  yeah he’s been great. it’s probably only a matter of time until he makes a bad bet on a daily double, but his strategy is rutter level and his knowledge base is crazy. he was on a game show called the chase that really displayed his insane trivia knowledge.

                    I thought this must not be his first rodeo.

                        I've seen all of his appearances; he dominates the game. I actually don't enjoy the viewing experience as much when they start at the bottom of the categories, and he's kind of robotic like Alex Jacobs (sp?). No denying his skills, though.

                          i always enjoy watching people who are dominant at the highest levels of their craft. it's crazy impressive. but i do agree that it isn't as enjoyable to watch when all they have left is the $200 and $400 answers and the dude is up by $20k in the first round.
