Wait, what?

Oh wait - there's more:

EDIT:  There's even more (and this alludes partially to Travis' point): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contr...Daniel_Benfield

Barely use it anymore?  Bullshit.


There's something else I've noticed:

When you're posting something that's factual, that's not an opinion, Norman, you're basing something on what you think is factual.  For the latter part, you've lost that privilege IMO because you don't fricking listen.

I'm surprised that Jay Wolpert hasn't called you yet on doing a remake for Whew! because most of your statements have to be corrected in some form or fashion on here.

ObOP: Makes me feel old and it's trying to make me remember what the first game show I saw.  I bet it was probably some incarnation of Pyramid or Hollywood Squares.  I have a pic laying around from around '76 or so with HS on the set in the background.

35 years since that crazy summer.  I was still a pre-teen then but remember it quite well.  All three networks changed their schedules within weeks of each other.  Game shows came and went like never before.  It seems that every few weeks TVGuide had another "last show of the series" listing.  It's a brand new day...

Yeah...I guess time flies.  It seems to go faster when you get older

35 years ago, I was -10 and my then-future parents were three years(?) removed from college.

I used to edit articles there every day, and quite frequently. I definitely don't use Wikipedia as much as I used to, unless I'm trying to date an episode of Law & Order I found on a tape.

Something like...what, 40 game shows on the air at some point during that year? 1975 was definitely the Year of the Game Show.

/and now I've got that stupid Ross commercial jingle in my head. AUGH!

You said "barely."

And when you "barely" make edits on there, you get your mistakes pointed out there, too.

So which is it?  "Definitely don't use it (every waking moment) as I used to" or "barely?"

Ok, so how do you defend using "barely," then, because you could fit the contestants of a first episode of The Biggest Loser between that gap.

Make of that what you will. Make of that, darn it!

I will make of it that Benfield has just become the first person I've ever put on my ignore list here. There's just only so much incompetence I can take in a day and living daily life already gives me my daily dose; I don't need it doubled when I come here. I tried to help and be nice but it feel on deaf, backpedaling ears just like everything else.

... and the second person on mine.

He also seems to have decided that "Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong" gives him carte blanche to speak totally ex-rectum.

Heh. Wait until you start working 40 hours a week. ;-)

Seriously, Dan, a lot of us here, myself included, have tried to school you, and it's all been in vain. I dunno what else to tell you; no matter how hard you try not to irk others, you still do at times.

Honestly, you're trying TOO hard. You don't have to be the be all the end all of game shows*. You're in the company of those who know game shows like the back of their own hands, and some of whom have appeared and/or worked ON game shows before you were even born. I don't think they need to be taken to school, if yew catch my drift..........

Back to the topic for a minute, to make some of you feel REALLY old, this was still 7 1/2 years before I was even born. Thank you, goodnight, and I'll be glad to get the hell off your respective lawns. XD

Re:Wikipedia..i've made a few (very few) corrections and added things that I thought would make an article more complete, but I hardly ever go back to see if what I did was taken out..No biggie to me if it is..
