Re: [TV orNotTV] Jennings defends decision to cross picket lines

Alex did cross the WGA picket line during the 2007-08 writers' strike, and the show used recycled clues during that time (they were about 10 years old). The difference is that social media apps like Twitter and Reddit weren't around for people to make a big deal about it. (Also, Alex was never

[TV orNotTV] Supermodel Turned Actress Turned Game Show Celeb Dies at 70

Shelley Smith started out as a model, began acting in the brilliant-but-cancelled 1979 ABC sitcom "The Associates" and kept a steady-if-not-spectacular acting career into the 90s, although more people may've known her better as the celebrity partner a contestant hoped they would get on

Refresh my memory: was she the giver of the greatest Pyramid clue of all time ("Oriental women's feet" for "Things That Are Bound")? They wiped all the classic $100,000 Pyramid clips off YouTube a while back. On Tue, Aug 15, 2023 at 1:25 PM Mark Jeffries wrote: > Shelley Smith started out as a

There is a legendary story about Target involving a customer who came into a store furious that his daughter received personalized coupons that were targeted towards a pregnant woman, only to have the guy return weeks later to apologize because his daughter actually *was* pregnant. Never question

Her preferences wouldn’t have changed just because she came out. She was probably choosing to watch shows and movies with a queer sensibility without being conscious of it and Netflix was able to connect the dots before she did. On Tue, Aug 15, 2023 at 3:31 PM Kevin M. wrote: > I’m not an

I'd also add that in 2007-8, the Jeopardy Archive didn't exist. It's one thing for a two-bit weekly bar trivia guy to scrape it for ideas (he whistles innocently while looking inconspicuous), it's another to literally have the show reuse it. On Tue, Aug 15, 2023 at 1:09 PM Jim Ellwanger wrote:
