Family Feud by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or familyfeud.com
Host: Richard Karn
Turner (Mignon, Cameron, Eniko, Kevin "K to the T", Debbie)
Stevenson (Carol, Bob, Melissa, David, Dana); $20,000

Turners clad in red. Stevensons clad in Fremantle money. Who will emerge triumphant today?

Round 1: something rich people talk about (7). Carol fires with money... number one! Unfortunately, that's all they seem to talk about, as the Turners get the question. They try investments for the steal... YES! They get 67. Other answers: business, themselves, cars, other rich people, poor people.

Round 2: something you see on the cover of a Christmas card (7). Cameron fires back with a tree, number one. Also on our card here, Santa, Jesus, snow, reindeer, angels, and... a star? The Stevensons hope so... No! They should've gone with a greeting. The Turners have 154.

Double Round: you never forget how to ride a bike; something else you never forget how to do (5). Melissa gets #3, skating. And David? "After watching all of these 'Family Feuds', I've been waiting to answer this question... Make love." Number two. Carol gets walk, #4. The Stevensons never forget to breathe...Not there! The Stevensons are on with 68. Number one: drive. Other answer: write/sign name.

Triple Round: a public place where you see parents disciplining their children (4). Kevin gets number one, the grocery store. They also get a park, a restaurant, and a school to sweep and win, 433-68.

Mignon and Cameron, husband and wife, now Feud partners in Fast Money. Cameron gets 56. Mignon gets the family up to 131 for $655.

 
Jeopardy! by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or jeopardy.com
Host: Alex Trebek
Ben Goggins (retired marine biologist from Tybee Island, GA); $25,000
Ed Lewis (attorney from Los Angeles)
Dustin Burke (graduate student from Philadelphia)

It wasn't even a contest yesterday. Ben could've won $40,000 yesterday. Could he repeat today?

He starts with $200 Brando. Ed finds the Daily Double early under $1000. He wagers $500 on the Brando as Johnny, leader of the Black Rebels. "What is 'The Wild Ones'?" Oops, pluralized it. It was "The Wild One", leaving Ed with $1100.

After a break and some acey-deucey, Ben launches into the lead with $6400 to Ed's $4100. Dustin, in a close third with $4000, starts up Double Jeopardy!...

... with $400 Brand-O. Ben finds the first Daily Double under $1200 Trees & Shrubs. With a big lead, he bets $2000. Here's Jon: "The familiar North American broadleaf trees are mainly this type, from the Latin for 'falling off.'" "What are deciduous?" Right for $14,400. Again, Ben builds up a $10,000 lead going into the second Daily Double under $1600 News on the March. The bet is $2000. The clue is: on March 10 1629 this king dissolved Parliament, leading to his eventual downfall & demise. "Who is James I?" Close,. it was Charles I. He has $14,400 now. Dustin has a chance with Ben at $10,400 (Ben has $20,800). Ed could play spoiler with $5700.

Just a reminder that if you're on the Pacific Time Zone, tonight's your shot. Go to Jeopardy.com and, as Doug Morris would say, "prepare to qualify."

Final Jeopardy! in "20th Century Theater": this play ends with 1 character asking, "Well? Shall we go?"; the other replies "Yes, let's go" but they do not move. Correct question: What is "Waiting for Godot"?

Ben gets this right and only bets $1000 to win $21,800 for today, and $46,800 for two days.

 
The Price is Right by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  11a ET/10a CT on CBS (markets may vary)
Host: Bob Barker
According to our good friends at G-R.net, yesterday's show was the early show from March 13 (remember, they tape twice on Mondays). Today is the late show. Yesterday was a skunk... Today, a new story begins.

And the first authors of our story, Karen Hutchison, David Zucker, Sara Schoenhoft, and Tanya Meechukant. Chapter 1... a $1349 fridge/freezer combo. Winner: Karen. She gets to Make her Move for a 20 Q? game, a sofa, and a trip to Montreal. The lineup: 5 0 5 6 2 0 9 1 3. She thinks the game is $20, the sofa is $913, and the trip to Montreal is $5056. And she's right, right, right!

David gets a pair of patio heaters worth $599. Today, he's playing for a GEM of a car in the Range Game. He stops at $9165. Actual price... $9390. That's about $75 short of the upper bound, so... yeah, no Gemcar for David.

Avonne Perry, a jumper and a shaker, gets to play on stage after winning a $1080 set of cookware. And the fruits of her labor should she win, a Chevrolet Impala! The game is Pathfinder, and she doesn't even need the three side prizes, as she wins the $21,584 going left, back, left, and forward to the outside.

And Bob is running for his life, hiding behind two Pathfinder tables and a Rachel.

(C-Note: To date, Pathfinder has never been played for a Pathfinder. Nissans are from Japan, a TPIR no-no.)

David finds the path to $1000... Spin a dollar on the wheel. We'll see him in the Showcase. Who else will we see? Maybe Sara, who wins a $480 gear box. She'll play Side By Side for a hot tub. Will she go left to $6995 or right to $9569? She goes left. And then right... and then left again... And she's right!

Or maybe Michael Kinney. He wins a $700 rocker. He'll REALLY rock if he wins a Ford Focus playing One Away. The price is NOT $28,825. Michael switches it up to $17,936. He gets one... two.... two honks. He switches again to $19,716. The 1 is right.. the 9 is right... the 7 is right... the 1 is... wrong. Price: $19,734.

Or maybe Lt. Elizabeth Wicht, USN. She wins snowshoe equipment worth $956. She gets a chance to win a digital piano in Hi-Lo. On the Hi, per Elizabeth...

Capzasin P - $12.99
Garlique - 13.99
Viactiv calcium chews - 8.99

Looks good... Now to the Lo...

Chips Ahoy - 55c
David jalapeno sunflower seeds - 1.09
Hot Pockets - 2.29

WINNER! She's also a winner at the Wheel, joining David at the Showcase.

First up, a Showcase that sounds like a Fox special: Prizes Gone Bad... Said prizes: washer/dryer, 4 CD stereo, and a Hi-Lo travel trailer. Elizabeth passes to David, who bids $19,500. Elizabeth gets a dining room with dinnerware, a year of Shari's Berries, and a boat. She bids $17,645. Actual price: $26,415. Difference: $8790. Actual price of David's Showcase... $19,.... 000. If they had switched bids, he would've won. Instead, he's $500 over, and Elizabeth has a brand new boat, on top of $33,906 in prizes.

What a difference a day makes.

Stats: 4-2, $73,861

 
Wheel of Fortune by Chico Alexander, GSNN

Air time:  Check listings or wheeloffortune.com
Hosts: Pat Sajak & Vanna White
While Jason is out enjoying a World Class Spa, I'm going to deliver your Wheel action for Wednesday. First-up, a thing. Carolyn Sherman from Oyster Bay, NY wins a $1000 AROMATHERAPY CANDLE. Joining her today are systems analyst Laura Trent from Tulsa, OK and marketing manager and Cubs fan Bryan Kilbane from the Windy City

Second tossup is a phrase for $2000. Laura gets SECOND-GUESSING. She gets first spinning rights, as she goes for a spa getaway in Utah worth $7500. First category: Before & After. Laura picks up a free spin thanks to some Ts and the spa trip thanks to some Rs. She runs out, solving AGITATED STATE FAIR for $850 cash and the spa trip for $10,350 total so far.

Let's go Around the House for our Meineke Jackpot puzzle/PRIZE PUZZLE. Bryan comes close to running out, but Carolyn solves with WALL CLOCK WITH ROMAN NUMERALS... and she's going to Rome! And if you're Wheel Watcher CR02542, so are you? And if you have a Sony Card, you have $50,000! So far, she's got $9986.

The ultimate indulgence of $10,000 is on offer in the Mystery Round. On the Menu, the category. Carolyn gets $1400, but the house takes it back on the black wedge. Same with Laura, but she uses her free spin and is back in this. She picks up a $1000 gift tag from Shari's Berries. Bryan solves AUTHENTIC MEMPHIS-STYLE BARBECUE for $2850.

$3000 Tossup is a Person. Laura has Premature Buzzer Syndrome, but Bryan has a DRAMA QUEEN. He starts our next puzzle, Show Biz. After some regular play, Pat spins out $1300 in the Speed-Up round. Carolyn solves SLOW-MOTION INSTANT REPLAY for $3950 and the game winner with $13,936! Laura takes a trip with $10,350 in cash and prizes, while Bryan gets $5850.

Hell of a spin in the Bonus Round. Carolyn deals with Things. Given the standard package and HCD O...

H O _ S E H O L D
C H O R E S

Three guesses.... Time's up. Carolyn does some HOUSEHOLD CHORES to the tune of $25,000! She ends up with $38,936 in cash and prizes. Nice!
