Fantastic, jeopardy! champion, Harvey Silikovitz (after five years with Parkinson's) defeats eight-time champ easily

GRA: Sitting in what appeared to be a wheelchair, a not very intimidating looking, middle-aged man named Harvey Silikovitz, unleashed an almost photographic memory on eight-time champion, Laura Faddah, running away with the victory.

Harvey Silikovitz, statistics: 35 correct, 2 incorrect.

A lawyer with a very Jewish accent (recalling Jackie Mason), but the mannerisms of also Parkinson's afflicted, Michael J.Fox, Silikovitz seems to have a lot of knowledge at his disposal (with instant recall), and as long as his button-pushing finger keeps working, I wouldn't bet against him--though he might get tired, one would guess.

Yeah, watching someone in a freakin' wheelchair playing JEOPARDY, paralyzed except for his button-pumping finger, is my idea of entertainment!

The Final Jeopardy answer is- DYSTOPIA

The correct question- WHAT BEST DESCRIBES CONTEMPORARY CULTURE?

Maybe next week they'll have a severed head hooked up to wires, answering the questions (supplying the questions?) telepathically.

Great Western series available in complete sets at a reasonable price ($25. or less on Ebay):

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE (Steve McQueen)
THE REBEL (Nick Adams)
BAT MASTERSON (Gene Barry)
THE WESTERNER (Brian Keith)
CIMARRON STRIP (Stuart Whitman)
A MAN CALLED SHENANDOAH (Bob Horton)
STONEY BURKE (Jack Lord)

GUNSMOKE available as well, though a bit more pricey.

Again- for the 100th time- why watch garbage?

That's not the same--"heads hooked up to wires".I'd only watch that type of thing if Mel Brooks and Vincent Price were involved somehow. C'mon,Mel--we have a movie plot.
