A Year of Oz: The Wizard of Oz Is All Around Us

I'm testing a theory that Victor Fleming's masterpiece "The Wizard of Oz" is so woven into popular culture that someone or something makes reference to it at least once every day. It comes up in conversations, songs, TV shows, ads, other films, colloquial saying, etc. For one year I'll be updating this blog each time Oz comes up. Check back daily to see if the theory holds water, or melts in it. (And try it yourself. You'll start to notice Oz everywhere, I promise.)

"I Lost on Jeopardy"

My wife and I have gotten into the habit of recording Jeopardy on our DVR and watching it when we're eating meals or bumming around. Today we were watching Thursday's show and one of the "answers" made reference to The Wizard of Oz. I accidentally deleted the show before I could transcribe the answer here. My bad.

p.s. Remember Ken Jennings. That guy won $2.5 million on Jeopardy. Amazing.
