Supposedly special

My grumpy self has already made clear my disenchantment with too many specials on Jeopardy.

In fact, except for the almost iconic Tournament of Champions, I don't have much use for all the other stunts and tournaments and special weeks and stupid human tricks. But Jeopardy remains one of our classic game shows, so your blogger takes note of the show's various specials coming our way this season, as listed by Carrie Grosvenor.

I'll admit that the new Military Week sounds promising, because it honors people worth honoring and it differs from the usual celeb parades. Otherwise, I could pretty much do without kids week and teen week and college week and twenty-somethings week (I made up that last one).

But grump as I might, the specials are coming. The new season kicks off September 17.
