If you see typos, please submit correction suggestions! No matter how picayune the error.

Despite the chattiness, my impression is that those games tore through clues much faster. This could be in part because of the lower maximum clue length (the TV screens couldn't accommodate as many words back then as they do today), but the average clue length might actually be the same, with the re...

Does "Renzo" Renzoni count?

In 2010, she signed in as "CC". I suspect that she did so in 2003 as well, and the Archive's nicknaming her "CCH" is in error. Does anyone have the 2003 recording to check?

This talk of contestant podium nicknames reminds me of a brief embarrassing incident when I was called up for a rehearsal round. Anxious to get rolling, I wrote my initials on the podium. Contestant coordinator Glenn Kagan, playing "Alex", simply shook his head at me and said, "Can't play." I hit th...

There are a few emoticons in there. Tui comes to mind.

Neville has pointed out another little rule--we reproduce contestant nicknames as closely as possible to how the contestants themselves wrote them on their podiums.

Recording to computer--using either a TV card (which records high definition (HD) ATSC signals from over-the-air (OTA), if that's enough acronyms for you) or a video capture card that would allow you to capture the video out of your DVR. There are also DVD-based VTRs that allow you to record to a DV...

I believe this game does set a record for most unrevealed clues in a regular play round, with nine, breaking the record set by my second game (eight). The Jeopardy! Round (with interviews) cost 11 minutes, 21 seconds of airtime. Kelly's 20-second Singapore travel plug left only 6 minutes, 5 seconds ...

In case anyone tunes in to WEWS tonight out of habit, just a reminder that as of today, J! is airing on WOIO 19 (which is channel 4 on most cable schemes).

This marks the first time that the show has had any change of channel or time since it debuted in September 1984.

I can't remember the last time the show asked specifically for people in certain geographical areas--not within the last 8 years for certain. Cleveland got a new affiliate, and that's probably part of it. (Cinci too?) Beyond that, is there some sort of shortage of Ohioan contestants? Side effect of ...

I'd like to see "mesh" on the weekly poll. I pulled it, but maybe not in time to have made the decision to buzz in, had I been at one of the lecterns.

From Ryan: Ha! Yes, that's true. I think 1987 is too early, though. Tell the JBoard guys that their registration system isn't working: the confirmation email hasn't arrived. (Also, the visual captcha isn't working; no red letters are appearing. I had to download an audio captcha version.) I'll be gl...

Got it, thanks.

Darnit, I did it again, and waited too long to transcribe Matthew Cline's pre-game interview from Kids Week game 1. No idea if it's recoverable. Can anyone use some web-fu to get it back? Thanks. Dear Jeopardy! web site people, it would be really nice of you if you didn't delete content after only h...

Old search re-enabled. Would Sphinx be able to make newly added content available for search as soon as it was entered into the database? How would I set it up so that it would efficiently index by clue/player rather than by game page?

Is this not the first instance of two players who competed against each other on the show becoming married?

Stacy, I think your tape date must have been the one after mine. Sorry I missed you!
