Sure looks like TPTB manipulated this 50/50 answer!


So is there a particular neighborhood or something connected with the "K-Ville" name? I was clueless about this one.

The "K" is for Katrina.

Oh.

Wouldn't that make more sense if the hero of the show was some sort of building contractor or construction worker trying to "reclaim" the city?

Not that building contractors fighting to get a truckload of sheetrock delivered on time make it into too many TV scripts.

I've never heard of this either and am not sure I would have made the Katrina connection. My mind just wasn't going there.

I definitely wouldn't have made the connection. I watch a lot of tv and never heard of that show before...what channel was it on??? Did it have a lot of episodes or was it cancelled?

I also watch a lot of television, not to mention read TV Guide cover to cover each week, and don't recall ever hearing about this program. Kind of obscure for this level question.

I watch very little network TV and I never saw K-Ville, but I knew it was about New Orleans, just from all the articles about the new fall TV season. This episode of WWTBAM was probably taped during a period of peak publicity for the show, which has been cancelled by FOX after they aired 11 episodes.

I agree that it was probably harder than the average $2K question, for most people.

Nihil obstat® so far.

She said this same thing after the commercial break. I'm glad she's excited.

Never saw an episode but knew the premise. Meredith mentioned that the "K" in "K-Ville" stood for "Katrina".

Does anybody know what the actual 50/50 left since the correct answer wasn't B or D? Or were they really that evil?
