Of course!

Jason Larsen

I should ask, did anyone here have anything arranged on a Saturday?

Jason Larsen

Well, not many of you must like sarcastic humor, then. If you could see our original Price is Right host, Bob Barker, you would notice there is a big difference between him and Drew. However, the people at CBS, the network that airs the Price is Right here, wanted someone different because they didn...

Jason Larsen

I'm just not trying to judge that book by its cover, so to speak.

Jason Larsen

I was referring to Mike, if he's around here.

Jason Larsen

Good work.

Jason Larsen

I was just wondering, why 2003?

Jason Larsen

They seem like fun people.

Jason Larsen

I'm surprised Mark Nyman was not mentioned.

Jason Larsen

For some reason, the note that Rich has announced on the BBC on his official website has been deleted. I really don't think he did much for them. However. "The Price is Right" here in America does have some UK ties. First of all, the host here in America should look familiar to you if you ...

Jason Larsen

I'm sorry, Soo.

Jason Larsen

Thank you, Soo.

Jason Larsen

I just noticed something. When I take a look at this section of the forum, I notice that all of the episodes are from 2003.

Why is this, or I should ask what is so significant about that year?

I was just wondering.

Jason Larsen

Oh. You're talking about contestants.

Well, there is only one contestant that I would love to see in Dictionary Corner. He definitely deserved to win, and his name is Michael MacDonald Cooper.

Jason Larsen

I noticed a bug since I had visited the forum. Sometimes I stay logged in automatically when I'm here, and other times I'm not.

Can someone try to fix this?

Jason Larsen

Between college students and retired people, I guess that's a very big number.

Countdown is a game for everyone.

Jason Larsen

If it happens to be worth talking about, can we refer to these people as, "in the club?"

Jason Larsen

I'm not celebrating just yet.

Jason Larsen

I wanted to show my sense of humor.

Jason Larsen

I haven't forgotten, "Countdown" was tried here in America in 1985 but the pilot was scrapped because it was too intellectual.

Jason Larsen

I should give Susie a very alliterative nickname. I shall call her "Susie the Surrey Softie" from now on. (Try saying that 5 time fast!)

Jason Larsen

Actually, I thought the practice of showing old episodes of Countdown was ok because the last time they pre-empted an episode because of sports was fairly recently. I think they showed an episode from 2003.

Jason Larsen

Cricket is not popular here, but I thought for sure it was one of the most popular sports in the UK.

Jason Larsen

Jason Larsen

Joseph, I agree with you about a fixed time for Countdown.

Also, I think the last time "Countdown" was pre-empted on weekdays was last season, when they had a festival I can't even pronounce the name of.

That was just a thought in my head.

Jason Larsen

Why does "Deal or No Deal" work then?

Jason Larsen

Yea.

I see someone agrees with me.

Jason Larsen

Students don't have classes on weekends though.

It was just an idea.

Jason Larsen

I have an interesting question for all of you. The show that follows "Countdown" every day in the UK, "Deal or No Deal" is on six days a week and so is the length-wise equivalent of "Countdown" here, (The US version of "Wheel of Fortune.") My question to all o...

Jason Larsen

David, did you receive my e-mail from a little while ago?

Jason Larsen

Hi, everyone! I know that in the General section of the forum, you say that you all don't bite, but I have a question. What are you meaning to tell each other when you show your senses of humor? For example, there was a thread in this forum with the subject of just one period. Why would someone do t...

Jason Larsen

How many people are even members of the mailing list anymore?

Jason Larsen

I wonder how many members of the mailing list are here and if it is even still around.

Jason Larsen

Who came up with this philosophy?

Jason Larsen

We're all still here. That's a good thing. If we weren't, there would be no Countdown.

Jason Larsen

I'm not sure what this section of the forum is turning into.

Jason Larsen

Yes, Susie has been back now.

Were you all prepared for your favorite softie when the time came?

Jason Larsen

And this has nothing to do with leap years!

Amazing!

Jason Larsen

Thank you

You all must have very interesting imaginations.

Jason Larsen

Oh.

I forgot about leap years.

Jason Larsen

I thought there were 365 days in a year regardless.

What has this turned into? An analytical section of the forum?

Jason Larsen

Is this a mistake on the other web site?

Jason Larsen

I understand some British English a lot better now.

Thank you!

Jason Larsen

Is this just a hypothetical question?

Jason Larsen

Did someone say fractions were involved in this?

Jason Larsen

What do you call pontoon?

Jason Larsen

What is the 800 club?

Jason Larsen

Literally hundreds, I would guess!

Jason Larsen

No, Blackjack is the game where you try to get as close to 21 as possible without going over. The term, "doubling down" was popularized because of that game.

Jason Larsen

Hi! I would have posted here sooner, but I had been having some Internet problems. I should catch up on "Countdown." I hope someone here became an octochamp. I hope Des O'Connor is still shining. Most American game shows are not as intellectual as "Countdown." I think "Count...

Jason Larsen

You might recognize this person. Here is his picture:

And here is his bio:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Fields

His official website says he has announced on the BBC, but I'm not sure what he has done.

Does anyone know?

Jason Larsen

I don't know.

I think it's just blind luck, like the show that follows "Countdown" every day.

Jason Larsen

What is the probability of seeing a blackjack table in England?

Jason Larsen

You know, all of you people are very lucky because most American game shows are not as intellectual as "Countdown." You get the chance to practice by playing mock games of "Countdown," and I tell you, even if I practiced by playing two full games of "Countdown" a day, I...

Jason Larsen

I don't agree with that at all. I think Des can hear just fine, and he does look great for his age, 76 I think.

Jason Larsen

Hi, everyone! I would have posted here sooner, but I was having quite a few Internet problems recently. I should catch up on "Countdown." I haven't had a chance to recently. I hope someone here became an octochamp. I bet Des O'Connor is still shining, and honestly I hope Carol Vorderman do...

Jason Larsen

I do like Susie very much though, and I'll be glad to see her back!

Jason Larsen

I'll rephrase my question. How many of the people who watch "Countdown" today would know about the old lexicographers?

Jason Larsen

Would most of the people who watch "Countdown" today know who these alternate lexicographers are?

Jason Larsen

I don't dislike Alison, but I just don't think she is a good fit for Dictionary Corner. Yes, I agree with Soo that a lexicographer should be very reserved and not have too much personality. Not to get too far off topic, but I would vlove to hear how she is doing with her new baby when she gets back ...
