We all know Harry Friedman has been the executive producer for Jeopardy! since 1999, and the show received a lot of awards since he got the position. We all know he was behind the introduction of the clue crew, making the material more challenging, lifting the 5-day rule for returning champions, and all the other things to make the game more interesting. For those of you who don't know, he was one of the producers from 1997-99.
Was he one of the people behind ending two long-standing Jeopardy! traditions during Season 14, even though he wasn't executive producer at the time? (first, the set no longer turned red in DJ! starting on October 6, 1997; then in early 1998, the practice of popping in the dollar figures on the DJ! board ended) He was behind the dollar figures no longer popping in on the Jeopardy round board during Season 25 and bringing it back with a new sound effect in Season 26, which I still don't understand why it happened in the first place (the saying: what's not broken doesn't need to be fixed - so they should've kept the dollar figures popping in on the J! round board and today we still hear the beep beep beep beep beep boop rather than the chimes).

It's good to be back home...
