Yep, one of those mental hiccups... reading 1984 and then doing the math based on 1988. Thanks for the correction. And for making me feel even older. Sigh.Bamaman wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 1:59 pmIf you go back 36 years from when this episode aired it is 1948.

I'm not the defending Jeopardy! champion. But I have played one on TV.

So many depressing comparisons like this. If we wanted to travel back in time to see the premiere of Back to the Future, we'd have to go five years further back than Marty McFly went to get to 1955. On September 12 we'll cross the Apollo 13 threshhold where the opening of that movie is farther back in time to us than the actual Apollo 13 splashdown was to the opening of that movie. I think we need to just lean into it and start clamoring for movies like Apollo 13 II: The Movie of the Movie and Back to Back to the Future, movies that take us back to the simpler more wholesome times when such movies were made.

The sixteen years between the original Star Wars trilogy and the prequels felt like a lifetime, but the decade between the prequel trilogy and the sequel trilogy felt negligible, probably because the former encompassed childhood but the latter was spent as a jaded adult.

One thing I've noticed is how much more dramatic Johnny Gilbert's "This... is... Jeopardy!" has gotten over time. Even in the 1990s it was still pretty subdued.

I would definitely go see that. I'm imagining a time machine configured like Luke's snow speeder. Probably piloted by Bill and Ted.

July 10, 2006: utterly-overlooked date on which the previous record was broken for the longest time with no new states admitted to the US.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 3:49 pmSo many depressing comparisons like this.
