New seasob, started just last week!

Speaking of Jeopardy, what was the answer to the Final Jeopardy question today? A European author who didn’t win the first Nobel prize in 1901?

we get the reruns first and then the new season. Here in SD it is on at 11am CST and at 3;30PM in ND it is on one after the other in the afternoon.

Thanks everybody! It won't be til the end of October that we're back home and watching religiously, every night, rain or shine! (Add loving every moment!)

Thanks, Salti!

The first episode of the new season was also the first episode with Alec back after his cancer treatments.

I come bearing bad news. It better turn into good news later on.

Oh no. For those who doing want to click on the link above:

"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek told "Good Morning America" Tuesday that he is undergoing another round of chemotherapy.

Trebek revealed he lost a large amount of weight and his numbers skyrocketed right after finishing his first round of treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

“I was doing so well. And my numbers went down to the equivalent of a normal human being who does not have pancreatic cancer. So we were all very optimistic. And they said, 'Good, we're gonna stop chemo, we'll start you on immunotherapy,'" he said before, "I lost about 12 pounds in a week. And my numbers went sky high, much higher than they were when I was first diagnosed. So, the doctors have decided that I have to undergo chemo again and that's what I'm doing."

Trebek had returned to taping "Jeopardy!" a few weeks ago after initially announcing his cancer diagnosis in a video message in March.

In May, Trebek announced that he had been doing so well that his doctors had declared him "near remission."

"It's kind of mind-boggling," Trebek told People magazine at the time. "The doctors said they hadn't seen this kind of positive result in their memory ... some of the tumors have already shrunk by more than 50 percent."

The survival rate for those with Trebek's kind of cancer is 9%, and he said the news that he may be beating the odds left him emotional.

Oh gosh, that is bad news, Rob. I know the odds are heavily against him but he seemed to be doing well. It’s amazing how many people arrange their evening around Jeopardy. It comes on at 7 pm here so Alex is often my dinner companion ( sad life, I know ;))

Hard to imagine Jeopardy without Alex, although I’m old enough to remember Art Fleming.

Oh, I didn't know about this latest setback!!!! :-(

I know I mentioned immunotherapy as an option to our oncologist, and he advised against it. That its still in early stages as a treatment, it hasn't been proven as a successful treatment.

I read that news this morning as well. I hope he beats the odds.

Sorry had to run. I'm back now. Thanks for posting the text gray.

I really hope he beats the odds, and just like I always say, someone has to make up that 9% success. Why not him? It's not a 0% chance, so he can do it!

My mom used to eat her dinner with the 6:00 news and her ice-cream dessert with Alex who was on at 7. I sure hope he beats the odds.

Oh, that's disappointing for our esteemed host.

From what I observe when I'm in the cancer center at my hospital, Individuals can react very differently -- at least in the earlier stages of a blood cancer like mine. I know I have at least three things affecting me: My age; the Multiple Myeloma; the components/combinations of various drugs combating the disease.

Our Comcast Xfinity lets us go to the program guide, click on Jeopardy, and see the original date of the program running. We won't be seeing the show here on Saturday evenings until the end of football season.

I have to admit I was expecting the latest news.
