As most of you have no doubt heard (and many of you have probably already seen), there has been an MIT designed computer (named Watson) playing a Jeopardy game against the number 1 and number 2 Jeopardy contestants.

I want to see it, and want my daughter to see it, and we’d rather not huddle around the computer watching it (though that’s what we’ll do if it comes to that). Problem is, the Jeopardy website only says it’s airing the 14th, 15th and 16th. Obviously, today is the 16th, so it’s our last chance.

I recorded last night’s Jeopardy, hoping that would be it, but it wasn’t. I cannot figure out when/what station this episode is going to be on! Can anyone help me? (I know I have my location field filled in, but if anyone’s wondering, I’m EST).

Thanks!

[February 14, not January](http://www.eweek.com/c/a/IT-Infrastructure/IBMs-Watson-Computer-to-Air-on-Jeopardy-in-February-433083/). Jeopardy airs 5 days a week, m-f - no new episode on Saturday or Sunday, so it couldn’t air the 15th or 16th of this month. (Even had its matches been recorded earlier than this week.)

Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that (about no new eps on Saturday/Sunday).  
But it’s great to know we didn’t miss it. Thanks!
