Pickles by Brian Crane for February 18, 2020

It’s still flashing 12:00, as well.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

You know, it’s not a good sign for our culture when comics are THIS relatable.

Did Opal just now discover that Trump was President of the United States?

ouch

Whatta fogey. Why aren’t you streaming what you want to see instead of waiting around for some TV station to schedule something? (Though wanting to see Jeopardy, does tend to explain why it hasn’t occurred to them.)

I do not feel that admitting that would make me feel better.

You watched the news? No wonder you’re depressed.

Nice try Earl ! Take her out for Ice Cream .

Well, the news does have a lot of jeopardy on it.

If you watch the news, you’ll be more than “a little down”. You might even get flat-out depressed!

“And with Alex Trebek’s health, it may be one of my last times to see him host!”

What a letdown!

Machines can be complicated these days.

You forgot to put that in the form of a question, Opal,

Like the VCR, which stood for Vague Chance of Recording.

don’t give me that okay Boomer BS just remember we got the money

I used to watch Jeopardy. I stopped because being broadcast at 7:00 PM every time there was a major news story it would get preempted. I’m not complaining about important news preempting Jeopardy, but that they would not rebroadcast the episode later. Put a notice up that it will be shown at say 2:00 AM so I could set the DVR for it. The last straw was when it was the final episode in a tournament series that got preempted. I had enough.

I feel your pain Opal

Jeopardy is an independently syndicated show and is used by the station as buffer filler between the news and the network’s evening lineup. If important events change the evening’s lineup, like Thursday Night Football, It is shifted up to between 11:30 p.m. and 2:a.m, after Seinfeld.

I wouldn’t say she’s looking a little down. I think it appears she’s looking up. Next she’ll ask Earl to repair that crack in the ceiling.

she’s actually looking up … just sayin’

Almost as bad as recording over a programme you were wanting to save forever!

Great stuff especially from Pickles and Mutts.

Wow. Talk about Jeapardy!

What a downer.

“I’ll take Stupid Programming Errors for $400, Alex…”

News or Game Show, either way Opal got Jeopardy.

It’s the end of times….lll take TV programs for 100.00 Alex…

“…Trump said this, Trump said that, meanwhile Bernie stayed cool, calm, and silent….”

Jeopardy doesn’t stream the current show, as far as I could ever find. TiVo is included in my condo fees. I DVR Jeopardy every day (and freak out when it is pre-empted). The actual answer/question part runs about 12 minutes. The rest is chatter and commercials. So with the DVR, I can skip past all that. In fact, I DVR almost every show that has ads so I can skip them. Saves a lot of time.

Don’t you hate when it happens? AND they never show what you missed !!!!

My guess is you are not over 50.

She looks like she’s looking up, to me.

There a lot of us “old fogeys” around and you should watch Jeopardy sometime, it might make you a little smarter.

Don’t you just hate it when that happens?

That would do it.
