[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Dec 6 2003, 11:39 AM\'][quote name=\'whoserman\' date=\'Dec 6 2003, 02:34 PM\'] What about the category "Long Words"? I only remember this being played once, when Pat and Vanna were contestants, and Alex Trebek hosted. The puzzle was "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". [/quote]
Really Long Word was the category IIRC. That was on 4/1/97, about two years after Megaword was retired[/quote]
I want to think it was "Really Long Title," actually.

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Dec 6 2003, 02:22 PM\'] Fill in the Blank, the category where a contestant wins an extra $3000 by guessing the word that fits the other three or four words in the puzzle, I have not seen in a while, so I'll guess that is gone. Fill in the NUmber, where the $3K bonus is earned by filling in the number that goes in the # mark(s) correctly, is still played. As far as retired categories, Foreign Word/Foreign Phrase, Slang, and Megaword have been retired. Megaword was a single word puzzle, and the contestant then had to say the word in a plausible enough sentence to win extra money. [/quote]
Why was it necessary for you to spell out how the category worked? I think we all know what Fill in the Blank was.

 Because he wanted to be sure that we fully understand the scope of his knowledge, of course.

Kevin Prather:
He probably just wanted to make sure that he or JayC didn't have FITB and FIT# mixed up.

JayC:
Darn, Fill in the Blank was my fav. catagory.  RIP Fill in the Blank.  I know, it's weird to love a catagory, but ...  I think I remember Fill in the Number popping up once or twice this season, that Fill in the Blank wannabe!  Hopefully they'll being FitB back, it's a fun catagory.
