Top Ten Jeopardy Contestants Of All Time

By
 Today, March 30th, marks 59 years since the popular game show Jeopardy first premiered on NBC. To celebrate the milestone, I have decided to rank the show's ten greatest contestants based on my own rankings formula. In order to get each player's final rating, I multiplied the total number of games that each player has competed in on Jeopardy (both regular season and tournament games) by the number of clues per game (61). I then took that number and multiplied it by what the J-Archive (arguably the largest collection of Jeopardy memorabilia on the internet) refers to as the contestant's "batting average"-that is, the average percentage of correct responses given by the contestant relative to the total possible responses during that contestant's games. This gave each player their final rating. So, without further ado, here are the Top Ten Jeopardy Contestants Of All Time. Update: In the fifteen months have that passed since these rankings were first published, ...

Addressing Hallmark Channel's "Blind" Spot

By
 Yesterday, it was announced that Sarah Drew ("Christmas In Vienna", "One Summer") would be portraying the titular character in an upcoming Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film "Guiding Emily". The movie, which is set to premiere on Friday September 8 at 9/8 Central, revolves around the titular Emily, who becomes blind following a rock-climbing accident. While Hallmark Channel has made tremendous strides when it comes to representation in the disabled community (For example, "The Christmas Bow" features a disabled character named Tess, played by real life Charcot-Marie-Tooth patient Joy Perry, and movies like "Our Christmas Journey" and "Color My World With Love" feature autistic actors and actors with Down Syndrome in prominent roles), one area that the network is still lagging behind in when it comes to authentic representation in the disabled community is blind or visually impaired actors. By my count, Emily will be at the ...

"The Way Home"-Jacob's disappearance and the Stable Time Loop Theory

By
       Hello. First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wesley Eversole. I have been an avid watcher of Hallmark Channel for about four years now and have watched almost all of their series, including their most recent series, "The Way Home", which premiered on January 15. If you are not familiar with the series, let me give you a basic rundown on the premise.     The series basically revolves around the main  character, Alice Dhawan (played by Sadie Laflamme-Snow) discovering that she has the ability to travel through time and jumping into a pond out in the woods behind her maternal grandmother, Del Landry's (Andie McDowell) family farm. She travels back to 1999, where she meets her mother, Kat (Alex Hook) as a teenager.      "The Way Home" has several mysteries but by far the most prominent is the  disappearance of Kat's younger brother Jacob (Remy Smith) during a Fall Festival in 1999. In the series' most recent episo...

Review-"Little Town"

By
Image
       On Saturday June 17, 2023, I had the privilege of attending a screening of "Little Town", an independent film directed by Dani Menkin and starring Jason Paul Field, Crystal St. John and Grant Stevens. The movie follows Jason ( Field), his son Tommy (Stevens) and their new friend Lauren (St. John) as they make the journey to the titular location of Little Town.     When the movie begins, Jason is an aspiring stand-up comic who has been living alone with his son Tommy ever since his wife passed away an  unspecified time ago. He has never told Tommy the truth about what happened to his mother, only telling them that she was "up in the sky", which Tommy believes means that she is living on top of a mountain in  a place called "Little Town", an ostensibly mythical place that Jason has told his son stories about.      One day while Jason is sitting in his car, a young woman (St. John) suddenly gets in and asks him to drive, though ...
