I've decided to go back to using DM for now, but to let the episodes be unlisted and to only be accessed with a password -- and to keep the eps on there for only a limited time.

When I add new episodes this post will be edited -- but with each five new episodes I will make a new post for those to account for more recent new additions.

For those who are having issues with DM, I was also suggested to use a Google Drive. With the drive on my primary account almost full I had to open another Google account for the episodes. Note these are VOB files so I'm not sure how they'll work on your part with whatever system you use. Here's the link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

And because the files are massive in size, the episodes will be up for two weeks from the day I posted them to the drive and then I'll be deleting them to make way for the next group of episodes. So in both cases, I propose you watch the episodes when you have the chance.

Thanks for that. I tried signing up for a DM account but I never received the activation code they said they sent. Yes, I did check my spam filter.

Who knows how many typos I had or things I missed that the OCR did while I was constantly checking on the Angels game (still going on in the 12th).

Thank you jf87 for the shares.

The players were pretty good other than the $800 row and FJ! round.

It would have been funny if J16 had asked for the female player’s symbol and Dorian gave the exact same response.

Seems to be a slight issue in J23 right after Abbott.

The OCR worked on about 25 % of the clues and as often happens it does not like ampersands. Thanks, fixed.

I've just decided due to a couple issues I had been experiencing last week while uploading the files to DM I'll no longer be uploading episodes there. From this point going forward I'll only be uploading the new old games I have to my Google Drive (the link is at the fourth post on this page).

That's now a known record for an Archived game, I believe.

Can confirm. The second-highest, with 23 wrongs, is #979, aired 1988-12-01.

A season later it was quite apparent how much the show improved compared to S1.

Doug's 4th game should also have 28 combined W.

There seems to be a word missing from 50th ANNIVERSARIES $300, maybe "If you started working..."?

I saw the October 18, 1995 episode that was just uploaded does have the complete intro included.
