Hurry up and Search Controversy

[Farthammer]

They messed up that Baseball one.
The 1961 Twins played the Yankees in the first game of the season. The winning pitcher was Ramos

Sorta. "Opening day" has two meanings i think. It can mean first game of season or home opener, it depends on the person i think. Still really confusing though, and i would consider either answer correct really. I have had this discussion with friends before and it is always split about half and half.

Opening day is the first day of the season. It can only be interpreted one way, as in the first game of the season.

This is correct. There is opening day and there is home opener. Home opener obviously being the first game in said stadium.

I know what you are saying . But, according to many baseball teams official pages they call their home openers, "opening day", even if they played their first game on the road. So you can interpret it as both.

Only if you were gay or a woman.

Further muddying the waters they also said both "starting pitcher for the winning team" and "winning pitcher."

You make a good point.

I noticed that too.
If you want to get extremely technical, Twins opening day in 1961 would have come sometime after the Yankees game and Senators game...

"As Shirley Povich pointed out in the Sporting News, technically the first ever home major league game in Minnesota was between the Washington Senators and the Washington Baseball Club, Inc, who hadn’t yet bothered to redraw incorporation papers since the move."


Too far???

[MikeB]

HTG must have been too busy at her new upper east side place to correctly do the questions.

Siren Series Controversy. Why did they not give Fez his Chad Henne answer? He started 13 of 16 games, while Pennington started 3.

they made up for it in the batman questions when fez said "the puzzler" instead of "the riddler" and they gave it to him

The controversy is why do they play this so much?

It was funny as a goof the first time they did it, because it was such a ridiculous game concept, but it's an immediate station changer when they pull this out each week.

202friends has 14,000 followers...that's what, 10% of their daily audience that follows them on Twitter? And probably 10% of the 10% (equaling out to 1% of their total audience) actually are able to access Twitter during the prime working hours that the show takes place.

So the other 99% that aren't involved in it experience this entire segment as an hour each week of Ron reading questions and the "excitement" of whether or not Dave or Contestant TBD can type faster??

Who thought this was a good idea???

i had to drop 202friends off my follow list because those stupid contest questions fall into the constant tweeter category and i'm thinking of dropping ronfeznet for the same reason

I really don't want to be the guy who turns every thread into a show critique but SSHUS does keep one of the hosts in a small but comfy box so that he doesn't derail the show into a very familiar ditch. :down:

Puzzler is a DC guy.

[pmoney316]

I'm curious about this:

If 202friends posts the question on twitter before the studio contestants get it, why doesn't anyone search @202friends on twitter to get the answer?

The Puzzler:
Maurice Evans appeared as The Puzzler just once in episodes 65 and 66. Apparently, this adventure was originally written for The Riddler. When it became clear that Frank Gorshin was "unavailable", the producers decided against casting a new Riddler at this time. They opted instead to keep the storyline and just replace the villain. The Puzzler incidentally was originally an adversary of Superman in the 1940's comics.

[Crispy123]

He said the riddler and the puzzler. and he was right!

besides that special K does have like 4 or 5 different varieties which Fez should have gotten credit for especially when HTG said shit like mini wheat and low fat mini wheat/ rice crispies and cocoa crispies in the answer rundown.

[Death Metal Moe]

It's just a radio contest.

I think somehow, we will all find a way to move on.

[Crispy123]

its still real to me dammit!

How do you appear just once in two episodes?

[Death Metal Moe]

How do you appear just once in two episodes?

Because don't forget, each episode always had a cliffhanger into the next solution to the caper.

So I think a lot of Batman fans consider each 2 episode set as one complete story, no matter how campy and bad the show was.
