I usually read and have it on just to see if I know the answer. I totally agree with you about Terry and his over reacting. His little leap onto the stage also drives me nuts. But my biggest peeve about the show is the explaining every answer and dragging it out and out and out and on and on and on. Just give the answer or get out.<br />Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-56750652430125006832015-04-28T07:36:45.222-04:002015-04-28T07:36:45.222-04:00I haven't seen that show in years, and based o...I haven't seen that show in years, and based on the way you describe the current version, I doubt I'll give it a second chance.Lowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-69977006808060250822015-04-28T07:30:23.914-04:002015-04-28T07:30:23.914-04:00I didn't know it was still on!
