Can You Ever Have TOO Much Jeopardy!?

Lately we've been watching a lot of Jeopardy at our house. It's become part of our nightly ritual--we eat dinner, we watch Jeopardy! Perhaps that puts us in the category of "fossil" but we don't seem to care.  The fact is Jeopardy has always been a part of my life. As long as I can remember my Dad has watched Jeopardy! on a nightly basis he even tried out a few times.  I haven't gotten that far yet (yet being the operative word) but I would love to hold of one of those clickers in my hand and try my hand at a real round of the show.  Over the past couple of weeks we've discovered a few things...

• There's a lot of things we don't know.
• We're often surprised at how much we do know.
• We get a kick out of Alex Trebek. He's a funny guy.
• Toby has declared that if she'd have known she would have named Gus "Alex Trebek"
• Last night as we watched an episode I happened to notice that Alex wasn't wearing his glasses, then later on he was wearing his glasses to which I decreed "Alex is very sneaky." The wheels started turning and I said to Toby "Gus is very sneaky." A few more turns of the wheels "Gus IS like Alex Trebek!"
• Jeopardy! is not so much about getting the most answers right but making the right wager in Final Jeopardy! (although having the right answer never hurts.)
• The other night as I was making dinner I caught myself announcing my own Jeopardy debut in my best Johnny Gilbert voice.
• I'm pondering taking the Jeopardy! contestant test (seriously--its on my to investigate list.)

In short, Jeopardy! rocks.
