I recently noticed that we haven’t talked a lot about the job Michael Davies is doing over at Sony for the flagships- but I wanted to create a new thread in case people had any thoughts they haven’t shared.
I did not expect the level of immediate impact he’s had thus far at Jeopardy, especially with the ship needing some righting after Mike. Past quieting the hosting talk, I love that he and the staff have dove in headfirst with all the statistical offerings. Not sure I need a boxscore every day, but like J-Archive boards, it’s nice to know that they’re there when I need them. Past that, I’m definitely a fan of making the Jeopardy season like a sports season, with a playoffs/ToC at the end. Also, if you haven’t read Michael’s blog posts, I’d highly recommend- they’re pleasant and insightful. Really enjoy the job he’s doing over there.
Wheel’s just kinda running like clockwork, and I’m guessing they extended Pat and Vanna for a couple more years partially because Jeopardy needed immediate assistance- plugging leaks in two boats is too much to ask of anyone. It’s a shame Mike did what he did, cause I was pretty excited to see what he could have done with Wheel, but I’m excited to see what changes Michael has in store too. Just give me less Maggie Sajak- we know why she’s there.
