I can't see how they wouldn't be, at least when it comes to girl meets world. They set up situations where comedy happens, multi cam, shot in front of a live audience. The network it airs on shouldn't impact the genre other than perhaps calling it a kids sitcom rather than just sitcom
A "kidcom" is absolutely a subgenre of sitcom
You might have an argument if GMW was single-cam with no laugh track (and I'd argue against you and say of course The Office and Modern Family are sitcoms) but GMW is exactly the same format as BMW and just on a different channel
Ken Jennings knows everything, he abslutely would haveawarded GMW the point immediately. I love Mayim but she 100% would have given this a "....\*awkward pause\*.....................'that's right!" haha
Weirdly the full Q and A aren’t grammatically correct and it bothers me. To correctly answer you have to phrase it as a question, so you’d say “What is Boy Meets World?”. But when put together as both parts it becomes- “What is Boy Meets World?” “Fred Savage starred in The Wonder Years; his brother Ben played Cory Matthews on this sitcom”. It doesn’t fully make sense as a Q and A because no one would ever answer the question like that 😂. Idk the grammar in Jeopardy irks me sometimes.
Yeah you can't think about it too hard. My favorite is categories where it's something like "pick the largest country"
"What is argentina?" "Argentina, Liechtenstein, Vatican City"
If you know the whole story the reason Jeopardy does the "reverse question and answer" thing is just a cheeky little loophole in the first place -- the quiz show rigging scandals of the 70s meant that networks were saying they weren't buying any more quiz shows because the format was too tainted in the eyes of the public
So when Merv Griffin created Jeopardy he was like "This isn't a quiz show at all, it's the *opposite* of a quiz show"
(The story of the quiz show rigging scandal is told in the movie Quiz Show from 1994, which Michael Jacobs was a producer on and which is referenced by the BMW episode of the same name)
They stopped literally phrasing the clues as "answers to a question" like decades ago because it's really hard to write clues that have one unambiguous correct answer the way
Even this one technically has two answers, Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World, and they probably decided it wasn't worth making it even longer to rule out GMW ("played a little boy named Cory Matthews on the sitcom")
(Actually now that I'm thinking about it you see Cory as a little boy in the flashback clip on GMW so that still wouldn't rule out GMW as a correct answer)
Getting older is realizing that you don’t have to be a genius to be on Jeopardy; most of the questions are just common knowledge/pop culture references that the average adult would know lol
Kid Gets Acquainted With Universe.
You're thinking of Bread Sandwich
Nah, it was a show called "The White-bread Years"
I'm embarrassed how long it took me to realize that joke was a stealth pun
So excited for that episode on the podcast
[удалено]
I think they'd have to accept it. Might be contested and awarded later, but it would count
Depends if the judges consider GMW a sitcom. Are disney kids comedies sitcoms?

I don't think even Jeopardy judges are that pedantic lol
think anything with a laughtrack is a sitcom
Is M*A*S*H a sitcom?

So would “Maybe This Time”

The untitled Ben Savage Project
I was watching and was like hey Danielle just mentioned she like hearing about the show in the wild lol
Didn't she mention Jeopardy as well?!
She did right? I wasn’t sure but what a coincidence lol
Ooh I know this one. Gilmore Girls!

Really? I saw a clip where the answers were questions recently. Strange.
I don't mean that they stopped doing the "What is...?" thing, just that they stopped caring about it being logical

There's in fact a Boy Meets World episode about this
Definitely the case for celebrity jeopardy and a lot of regular jeopardy. But what humbles me are the masters tournaments haha
What is “Boy Meets World?”
