The category was “Classic TV Shows.” “Posted over the door of this show’s setting was a notice reading, ‘Maximum Room Capacity 75 Persons,'” the clue read.

I would have never gotten that. But then again I never watched cheers. Even still if the question was about what year the place was established I would have been able to guess 18 something because everybody knows (your name) the cheers logo.

I had to look it up to figure out that the maximum capacity 75 was on the inside of the door after they already walked into the bar.

Once again, it didn't matter where the sign was, or if you ever noticed it. The Jeopardy question is telling you that there's a classic TV show set with a maximum capacity sign at the entrance. All you have to do is think of a classic TV show setting that would have a maximum capacity sign. And like a whole bunch of people on Reddit, I immediately thought of a bar. It's not the house in All in the Family, or the junkyard in Sanford & Son, or the apartment in The Odd Couple. It's obviously a place of business where people congregate. To many of us, it was one of the easiest Final Jeopardy's ever.

Night Court, Seinfeld, friends. They all could have that with whatever that diner was Seinfeld had and the coffee shop and literally a courtroom. All of those would have a sign with Max capacity. But yeah I guess a bar is probably first thought.

And there it is. Yeah, never thought about it. Makes sense though.

This relates to trivia, so I'll post it in this thread.

At work every month, they get a large birthday cake and everyone (50 people or so) who is around that day gathers and enjoys the cake to celebrate a month's worth of birthdays. Last August to liven things up, they introduced a trivia game. I'm not sure what platform it is, but it is cool. Everyone scans the QR code with their phone and plays along. It's mostly multiple choice, the questions are put together by a co-worker. The questions are usually either pop culture or sports, or they will show a baby picture or something and you have to figure out who around the office that might be. So about half the questions are office related. You play on your phone, but after each question they reveal the answer on the big monitor and also the standings up to that point.

The first game in August, I finished middle of the pack, but I started to notice that if you answer correctly and fast, you might get 80 points, but if you answer correctly and slow, you might get only 10 points. So I went into September's game with a plan. I was going to answer as super fast as I could for each one.

September game. I'm the winner. (Crowd reaction = Yay Aaron, good job)

October game. I'm the winner. (Crowd reaction = oh wow, Aaron wins again)

November game. I'm the winner. (Crowd reaction = booooo, I mean they turned on me in a hurry)

December game, I'm now the villain, Goliath. Everybody is gunning at me.
I didn't win.

In fact I didn't win January or February either. Maybe I lost my touch. Maybe everyone caught up to me. Oh well. I enjoyed my moment in the trivia sun.

March update - victory is mine. I won today’s game.

This is the current jeopardy champ, Bryce

...and this is Dwight Shrute's cousin Mose

Separated at birth?

And there seems to be a curse on the middle contestant. Yesterday, it was a young guy who rang-in a total of 6 times; 3 correct, 3 wrong. He ended negative.

Today, the guy in middle was right on the heels of the champ, until he had $4,000 taken off his score, because the judges couldn't clearly hear him say "what is". Wtf?

That's a great comparison. If "hand building barns" was a category that guy would have cleaned up.

I don't remember if it was the first question or not, but it was answering "Got a wife and kids in _________ Jack. I went out for a \ride and I never came back."
They all looked like they were asked to convert feet to Celsius in Latin braille.

Yeah, that's pathetic. But it wasn't the one I was thinking of. Just now, during my lunch break, I actually had to pull-up the recording of yesterday's show. And you know what? It wasn't there. It was Tuesday's show, which opened with a question that mentioned "the giggling Poppin' Fresh" is otherwise known as...
...and I'm yelling Pillsbury Dough Boy! Pillsbury Dough Boy! And they're all staring into space. No one even guessed.

I know the lyric -- I can hear it in my head -- but put like that with a timer on me (even without the timer) I am drawing a blank.
