Jeopardy

Nothing I like more than a good Jeopardy show The clues, many complex, on that answer board, Two challengers trying to make the champion go Betting in final what they think they can afford. Jeopardy, in case you don’t know, is a trivia game Given answers, players respond with a question, For many years Mr. Alex Trebec hosted the same Now avid watchers tune in each day with passion. Particularly entertaining is a long-running champ And excitement builds as challengers get tough Some, like Ken Jennings, could’ve set up camp But in the end, for him, too, the going got rough! Such a pleasure to see the old records fall away As new players arrive on the scene with clout I love to see young people get excited to play More when one of them takes a champion out.

Jeopardy makes me nervous, but my twin loves it! If she read poetry I would send this marvelous missive to her.

Ha, ha! After all these years, I hadn't known what 'Jeopardy' was. Now I've got it. So, the answer is Wednesday. What is the question?

Okay, I don't want to get a debate started, but I really like Mayim Bialik as the host. In my humble opinion Ken Jennings had his day. I've always been a fan of Mayim, though. She is soooo intelligent, yet so personable.

It is, Ilene, and they've had several long-running champions which makes it more exciting for me. I'm not addicted, but I do watch it nearly every day that's convenient. Thanks.

VERY well done, Milton--skillfully written and expressive. Watching that show confirms for me that I'm just not very smart! Janice

Oh, Janice, I can't believe that! I'm just not quick enough to come up with answers, although I know a good many of them. When you get to be my age you have a lifetime of trivia collected up upstairs!

There's nothing like a good tv show which keeps the audience on edge! Instinctively, I find myself rooting for the underdogs! ~ Regards // paul
