That really confused me. It made me think Wharton isn't part of Penn, when I know damn well it is. And now it seems really nitpicky to me. Alex could have given him the chance to identify the university Wharton is associated with. He often gives contestants a nudge.

That's my kind of monument right there.

Sure, why not, I guess. I've decided that in this particular universe, there was hibernation technology in 1963. I've also decided to accept that, until Lorelai's murder, not one serious crime occurred in 51 years, even though there were 600 people crammed on a ship (although I will grant that it was apparently a…

You're just trying to start trouble, aren't you?

You are welcome. That really is a great story, although I imagine at the time it didn't seem great so much as bizarre and/or scary.

As we discussed yesterday, these people have not seen a lot of movies.

Sorry you don't feel well, Franko. Rest up.

My family's motto is "Never use a recipe that calls for cream of mushroom soup."

My tolerance for quirk is quite low. Gilmore Girls is my limit, and even on that show, which I love, there were a couple characters who were too quirky for my liking. Ally McBeal's quirk level was so high that the few episodes I watched made me want to blow my brains out.

Six! Although I'm starting to weaken and may give in.

I've always hated Colbert's interviews, for the same reason. Maybe he felt it was detrimental to the show for him to step out of character, but to me, doing the interviews in character just seemed like a waste of time.

That was still a great segment, though. I give congressman-whose-name-I-don't-remember lots of credit for running around D.C. like a lunatic with Colbert. Much jocularity ensued.

Upvoted for it being a good story.

Ha! Although I loved Ferguson's interviews, for me the show was always about the pre-interview insanity. I almost didn't record the show he did with Larry King, then remembered that I don't have to watch the entire episode. I can stop and delete at any time.

Heh. I couldn't tell the two pretty boy love interests apart either.

I am generally not a fan of the many variations of "character gets head stuck in a fence," but "Julia Gets Her Head Stuck In a Fence" is one of my favorite DW episodes. Suzanne's glee and sarcasm over Julia's situation is beyond funny, and she, of course, had to bring up the time Julia bared her ass to half of Atlanta…

Maybe there's something I'm missing about this show. I went on a mini-rant about it in yesterday's WOT. I think it's absolutely terrible.Three and a half hours in and I still haven't figured out the relationship some characters have to other characters, e.g., I thought both the little girl (Christa?) and the teenage…

And based on what I've seen since I started watching Jeopardy again, "they've hardly seen any movies at all" is something that could be said about a lot of the contestants on this show. Their lack of knowledge about or interest in pop culture is pretty surprising.

Me too, on both counts. I guess it doesn't help that I've never seen either movie.

Wearing a too small jacket might be a thing right now. I was at an on-line store a few days ago, looking for Christmas presents for my husband. When I checked out the blazers and jackets, they were all really tight on the models. Looks stupid as fuck, not that that means a damn thing in the fashion world.
