Re: [TV orNotTV] This never happened when Alex hosted

[Kevin M.]

I know the producers intend for the show to continue regardless of the
strike (same with Wheel). In any game show, there are countless unused
questions produced that are rejected but not thrown away. I still have
thousands of unused questions from “Challenge of the Child Geniuses” that I
use in my middle school classroom, and there were only a handful of
episodes even produced of that.

The issue is that writers rooms in game shows operate independently of and
isolated from the rest of the production crew, and never the two shall
meet. So if the writers filed away the questions in an unmarked drawer of a
file cabinet, or if they put them in a password protected folder on a
computer, locating and sorting through them could be problematic. Anyone
from the production office who walks into the writers room cannot just walk
back into the production office. So it’s going to be an ordeal.

Re: [TV orNotTV] This never happened when Alex hosted

[Jim Ellwanger]

When Alex hosted, they produced new episodes during the 2007-08 writers' strike 
reusing old material, and nobody seemed to notice. (It's unknown whether there 
were any potential contestants who refused to cross the picket line.)

During the writers' strikes prior to that, the writers were not part of the 
WGA, so the show was unaffected.

I'm actually in the potential contestant pool right now, so if they do wind up 
producing new episodes somehow, and they call me... well, I guess I'll have a 
big decision to make at that point.

[TV orNotTV] This never happened when Alex hosted

[Brad Beam]

With whispers that what's left of the Jeopardy! writers' room may reuse and
recycle old clues for the upcoming season, several ToC contestants have
announced that they won't cross the picket line at Sony.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Well, here it comes: the Trek musical

[Kevin M.]

The crossover episode is as about as good as modern Trek gets, though you’d
have to be a fan of both shows to fully appreciate it.

As usual, Mad Magazine was there first.

Said Jamie Lee Curtis, introducing her new climate-change graphic novel *Mother

would be turned into a film...
