I sure felt old when I watched Jeopardy yesterday, and the clue was something about Adrianna meeting her fate in the episode, "Long Term Parking." I shouted out the answer immediately, but NONE of the contestants knew it. ~Marti On Friday, January 12, 2024 at 11:06:25 AM UTC-6 Bob Jersey

But Tay-Tay will be there. The game itself is on Peacock. NBC is airing another playoff game and is scheduled to run a "Wild Card Playoff Special" at 8 tonight before the game at 8:30 ET. (The game will be live on WTVJ in Miami and KSHB in KC.) I am guessing once every minute that the host will

And the CDub has added "The Conners" reruns to the lineup, but running it once a week. There have to be people at ABC who just want to wring Tom Werner's neck for this deal, because it makes it look like the show moved first-run to CW when it didn't. Mark Jeffries spotligh...@gmail.com On Fri,

I was surprised they didn't have a clip of the show on Colbert. I know they probably won't film the premiere until the day of or the day before, but surely they must have made some test shows? Anyway, I also set a Season Pass. I wonder what percentage of current TiVo owners are in this thread?

They don't even have a clip of the show on its Paramount + or Facebook pages. I have my expectations set about as low as they were for the Hardwick edition, so I'll probably like it.  My only concern is whether it can really fill an hour.  The show seemed to work best with a high joke volume,
