I recall watching several episodes of Fifth Grader before I heard Jeff mention the rule that using your Peek help committed you to answering the question.

I was surprised, watching the '90s Supermarket Sweep on Buzzr, how the show sometimes went out of its way to NOT show the contestants making a mess. Johnny would occasionally remark that an item left on the floor would occur a penalty, but usually only when the contestant avoided the penalty by picking the item up. In contrast, I saw a couple of instances where the show would do an awkward cutaway in the middle of one contestant shopping to conceal the products they knocked over -- one time, an eagle-eyed viewer could see dog food scattered across the floor in the background.

Perhaps not in the spirit of the question initially posed at the beginning of this thread, but I'm genuinely curious: When was the last time Drew explained what the double showcase parameters are before the Showcase round began? Related question: When was the last time, upon a contestant winning both showcases, did Drew explain that they won both showcases because they were within $250?

More in the spirit of the question initially posed at the beginning of this thread: I wonder whether Family Feud viewers ever wonder why a Fast Money answer is never worth 1 point. I don't think that's been explained for literal decades.

Is the minimum Daily Double wager still $5?  That gets mentioned almost never.

Y is treated as a consonant.

"Craptacular" is an understatement. I've been hoping for years for Harrisburg's Patriot-News to show up but it appeared on NA first. It's now on newspapers.com, in thankfully much better condition than it was on NA.
