How Well Do You Know the Era of Mad Men?

Are you ready for something insanely addicting but also highly informative? Then check out this Mad Men-themed Jeopardy game online. The game covers the early 1960s through categories like "Ad Slogans," "In the News," and "Popular Culture." I've played several times now and I'm amazed at the trivia I've absorbed through the show. TV is so good for making people smarter (of course, I have to say that!). It's also funny because when you get the answer wrong the crowd gasps really loudly, and when you get it right sometimes your little cartoon person will raise the roof in joy.

It's good practice for when an actual Mad Men category will be included on a special Jeopardy on Oct. 17. I, for one, will be watching with a pen that I will pretend is a buzzer. Sigh. I'm such a sucker for both of these shows.

Which Merv Griffin Project is Your Favorite?

Merv Griffin - the media mogul who created "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune," hosted a popular talk show, and even had a hit song with "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" - died Sunday at age 82 after a struggle with prostate cancer. The man certainly left his mark on American pop culture (only recently, he created a crossword puzzle game show that's set to premiere this fall). Which of his well-known projects is your favorite?
