If "Jeopardy!" was still like this in 2016, would you still watch it?

None of those things affected my enjoyment of the show. Some of them I wish they still did (like the contestants walking to the podiums).

Annoying the world since 1960!

I would go after my TV with a baseball bat. Especially after seeing the return of the mustache.

The other day, I was watching an old clip of "Cheers!"

If I remember correctly, it originally aired in the autumn or winter of 1988.

The show was supposedly on a roadshow and they were in Boston, which is why Cliff Clavin was on it.

Woody was excited because he wanted to see the swooshing ball flying to the screen, but that wasn't in the clip.

I think everything you wrote was in the clip. Man, I forgot all that stuff.

The clip is still funny as heck.

If anybody doesn't know the show Cheers! Cliff Clavin is a mailman, who is the resident bar know-it-all (although he often knows very little), who lives with his mom and who never dates.

I know that show. It's one of my favorites. That episode was from the 8th season. It aired in 1990.

I scratched out my comment. I thought it was 88/89 but you are correct.

"And a mailman. Cliff Clavin"

I never understood why that was funny. I'm talking about Johnny introducing Cliff.
