Remembering Ricky Nelson
As I recover from my bike accident, I decide that I should watch Jeopardy!, which reminds me of relaxing and enjoying down time.
In single Jeopardy! (as opposed to Double Jeopardy!), there was a category called Remembering Ricky Nelson, and they had a picture of Ricky Nelson in the little TV with the category in it. No one on the program seemed to remember Ricky Nelson very well, which was made clearer by the fact that it was the very last category remaining, and only two of the five questions were answered by the contestants. Three of them were song-recognizing questions, and only one song was recognized. I thought it was an absurd category to begin with, and then it hit me: this category must have been designed for the show's typical audience-- that is, folks born before 1940. I wonder how often they do that.

See, I find this quite intriguing because I watched this same show with Eugene and Joey and we were surprised that they even got a few in that category. But we all agreed that the category was ridiculous.
