A-Team on Jeopardy!

[zania]

The check engine light on my car came on as I was leaving work on Thursday (5/2/2013), so I drove straight to the mechanic. While I was there, Jeopardy! was on the TV in the waiting area.

Well, much to my surprise, the first answer in the category TV Supporting Cast was:

Dirk Benedict as Face, Dwight Schultz as Howling Mad Murdock, some fools to be pitied.

And the guy got it right!

I did a bit of a search, and found a site that has all of the Jeopardy! questions since the time the show aired, and it's searchable too. Believe it or not, there's a lot more times that the A-Team was mentioned or was part of an answer!

Only 2 of the results have nothing to do with the A-Team, but the rest definitely deal with the TV show or movie.

That is so cool, zania! Thanks for sharing!

(Face and Murdock were main characters too! Not just supporting characters. GRR... JEOPARDY made me angry!)

Well, it is kind of like with Murdock in SHOWDOWN.....as long as we know the truth!

Jeopardy's quite the show! If it mentions a show like The A Team at various points, then it shows that The A Team was, and still is, very popular. ;D

All sorts of questions are very thought-provoking, giving you something to really think about.

I did a search of certain other popular 80s and even a few 90s action shows like Knight Rider, Airwolf, Street Hawk, MacGyver, etc, and the A-Team has more questions than each of them!

If only they'd have used some of those questions on the episode I was on, maybe I'd have won.
