Jeopardy First Edition -- Game #5

 Hi friends!

As part of the MS-DOS Jeopardy! series, I hope to write a post-game review of the clues. The goal is to highlight any clues that may be out-of-date and to provide some additional trivia about some of the more interesting clues.

Notes are in the order they appear in the original video, which you can find here.

Wikipedia is my primary source for much of this material (so take that with a grain of salt).

Jeopardy! Round

Categories: Reference Books, Political Slogans, Sports, Movie Classic, Fabrics, "Can" Do

• Reference Books ($100): What an age we live in! Both volumes of the original 1828 version of Webster's Dictionary can be found on the Internet Archive: Volume 1 and Volume 2. Since both volumes are in the public domain, there's no need to sign in to view these.
• Reference Books ($300): The Internet Archive also has access to the original 1955 version of the Guinness Book of Records. (Since it's in the public domain, you do need to log in and check it out to view it.) By the way, outside of the United States, it is called the "Guinness Book of Records". Here in the U.S., they add the word "World". Since 1999, it's just been "Guinness World Records".
• Reference Books ($400): The best I can do is link to the Third Edition from 1858, again on the Internet Archive. This one is in the public domain.
• "Can Do" ($400): Wikipedia has an interesting history of the Hollywood Canteen. It only existed from 1942 to 1945 -- the years the U.S. was in World War II. Per Wikipedia, the building that housed the Hollywood Canteen no longer exists; it's now a parking garage.
• Reference Books ($500): The Internet Archive has the first edition of the Britannica from 1771. The scans themselves were provided by the National Library of Scotland. There are three volumes in the set. The second edition would see the number of volumes balloon to 10. Though I can't pin down the precise edition, Washington would have had either the first, second, or third editions, given the dates of publication and Washington's date of death. (For the record, the less popular Encyclopedia Americana would be first published in 1829.)
• "Can" Do ($300): The game got this right. Cannoli are made of pastry dough, while cannelloni are the pasta.
• Movie Classic ($200): I believe that the very last Final Jeopardy! on the original daytime (NBC) version of Jeopardy! with Art Fleming referenced this line. (YouTube used to have the clip, but it must have been taken down.)
• Political Slogans ($500): Wikipedia details the history of Tammany Hall--which existed until the 1960s! I didn't know it was founded as early as 1786.
• Movie Classic ($500): Yeah, the film was more than "a little" racist. Thomas Dixon's Wikipedia page describes him as a "professional racist", which is not a title that I'd want to be known. Eeeesh.
• Fabrics ($100): From Wikipedia, gunny and burlap sacks are the same thing (though Gunny makes more sense with the Goni fact in the clue).

Double Jeopardy!

Categories: European Geography, Playwrights, Word Origins, Daytime T.V., Holidays, All for Love

• Holidays ($200): "Shrove" in "Shrove Tuesday" means to absolve.
• Holidays ($600): Although we celebrate Presidents' Day in the United States, it is still officially known as "George Washington's Birthday".
• Holidays ($1000): Epiphany celebrates the visits from the Three Magi and can also celebrate Jesus' baptism and the wedding at Cana.
• Daytime T.V. ($400): Search for Tomorrow premiered on CBS in 1951, later moved to NBC, and was cancelled in 1986.
• Daytime T.V. ($800): A bit of explanation here. The clue refers to David Hartman, who was the first host of Good Morning America from 1975 to 1987. In the early 1970s, he was an actor. The Bold Ones was a medical drama that aired for 4 seasons on NBC. In Lucas Tanner, he played a unorthodox teacher named Lucas Tanner. The show lasted for a season on NBC. Hartman is still with us, at age 87.
• All For Love ($200): Ah! Wikipedia lists Mark Antony as Cleopatra's husband, and Marc Antony as the singer. Hmph!
• Daytime T.V. ($1000): Emily McLaughlin played Nurse Jesse Brewer from the shows first episode in 1963 through 1991. She died in 1991, and the character was simply retired.
• Playwrights ($800): At the time this game was produced, Albee has won two Pulitzers for A Delicate Balance and Seascape. Since then, he won a third (!) for Three Tall Women in 1994.

Are there any interesting facts about the game's clues that I missed? Let me know in the comments, and stay tuned for the next game!
