If you were lucky enough to appear as a contestant on Jeopardy, what categories would you be delighted to see up on the board?
I think that my strong suit is '60s music.

I feel I'd do well with pop culture of decades of 1950-1970. Sadly I'd so very very poorly with current pop culture .

I tried to get on in the 1980's, but in those days a contestant search consisted of mailing in a postcard and having it picked out of a hat. And even that came along rarely in any area. At that time I think I would have done reasonably well. My only weak categories were literature. I knew almost every major movie and TV show from the inception of each. I am also quite good in history, geography and science. Plus music of course.

Today though, I know virtually nothing about current TV, music or movies. Whereas I could name almost every Oscar winner from the 1930's to the early 1990's, the only thing I know about last year's Oscars is what's his name hit Chris Rock.
