Heh. I was at a relative’s a few weeks ago and he’s a game show nut. We watched jeopardy. For me it was the first time in 25 years. I wondered where Alex was. Meanwhile, they were rooting for this guy that was winning like crazy, week after week. Oddly, I didn’t find it the least bit entertaining seeing an “ultimate nerd” prove he had perfect recall of an infinite number of useless facts. It’s like watching the Rain Man count toothpicks.
You mean you didn’t know he had passed away?
I watch a few game shows on the game show channel and the Price is right on CBS if I think about it.
My wife watches rerun game shows and tries to guess answers. Ugh.
Once in a while I will watch a 70’s “Let’s Make a Deal” to see the prizes. It can be funny to see someone get excited about winning a Vega, a piano, avocado appliances, or a fur coat. Makes you realize possessions are not really worth much.
