Guess what? They changed it in 1997 from the one that DEBUTED WITH THE SHOW in 1964. Not controversial.

Controversial: Jeopardy providing the questions, the contestant providing the answers.

Really? That long? I'd probably get tired of it if it were around for that long.

I'm sure the music will change back to the old 2001 theme soon. I can't see that music staying on there. There's something about it that doesn't make it "game show like," but I can't put my finger on it.

Is there any way i can help out with fees?

Unless you're willing to write him a check or Paypal him some money, I doubt it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he would do if he were to help out with fees.

Though, I'm sure Kyle would ask if he needed help with something like that.

General Discussion / New Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune Season

« on: September 08, 2008, 08:06:50 PM »

Today marked the first day of the 25th season for Jeopardy! and 26th season for Wheel of Fortune. What do you guys think of it?

This season we have new music for Jeopardy and that really shocked me. This is probably the biggest change they made to the theme music since 1997, not long after Merv Griffin sold the program to Sony Pictures. I don't really like the new music at all.

I hope they change it back, though I'll probably grow on it sooner or later. Aside from that and new graphics (which usually happens every year) nothing much else has changed.

New Wheel of Fortune graphics as well, including a new graphic for the category and jackpot round. Also, a new $1 Million bonus round where the $100,000 prize is substituded for the $1 Million wedge if you get no bankrupts. The $1 Million wedge also replaced the old $10,000 wedge. I like it.

Local Forecast / Re: A New WeatherSTAR XL

« on: September 07, 2008, 09:10:03 PM »

When my XL was upgraded in early 2002 it still had the old basemap and 1998 title bars on the regional conditions and forecast until the metro maps came that summer. Around that same time, the narration was removed.
