I like Jeopardy. It's always there to rely on. However, it's not getting 5 stars because of the dumbed-down 'Celebrity Jeopardy' and the 'Teen Tournament.'

So many crutches. Doubling the money didn't double the suspense. After Ken Jennings, who gives a rip? I've gotten sick to death of watching one person kick ass one day and get their ass handed to them the following day. I knew it was time to give up on the show when I found myself fast-forwarding straight to Final Jeopardy! because the preliminary rounds are so lackluster and often the Final is sadly anticlimactic; especially Celebrity/Kids tournaments. Obscene payoffs for basically showing up? Even when finishing in the hole? When no one has the sense to wager to win, it eliminates the atmosphere of competition. Why not just start everyone off with $20,000 and the first one to ring in wins? It's just as suspenseful and you get 29 minutes of your life back.

Another favorite game show, even though the questions are difficult.

If there's nothing on TV you can always watch Jeopardy to pass some time. A hugely successful show over the years, it hasn't need to be refreshed.
louiethe20th 09/28/2007
My favorite, it is educational and fun at the same time.
jgls 09/27/2007
don't watch it as much anymore, but i always learn something from the show.
poonjab48 09/12/2007
my fav show. alex is hottt
kcmcgruff 06/03/2007
Jeopardy requires great knowledge and memory. To retain all the information required to win is a skill of its own.
latyonia 06/03/2007
i like this game it is good for people who try to keep up with their studies
Lvdeckape 06/02/2007
Just not into this game show. Way too hard for my taste!
numbah16tdhaha 06/01/2007
Its best in the old SNL skits...
XAgent 06/01/2007
A show that requires neurons. And inspired a long running skit on SNL.
blue47 05/04/2007
Of the few games shows I have watched, and I admit, I am not a fan of 'em, this one is the best. I have yet to get a question right... DUH!
Chrisrianna 05/03/2007
I only watch Jeopardy because I love Trivia
lbc 03/03/2007
i love jeopardy because i'm a geek who likes to answer all the questions.
doobiesNhof 02/24/2007
A classic and long running game show for sure. Many a brilliant contestants and many not as gifted. This is truly the thinking person's game show.
AEnzhRu 02/08/2007
One of the few gameshows that I've ever taken an interest in, still do, and probably always will. Trebek seems timeless and as long as you have a gazillion categories and questions for contestants the show never gets old.
disgust4PCness 11/09/2006
Always gets your mind going...and probably good for blood circulation in the brain.
Momsandpopscal lmeJoe 11/06/2006
This show aint for the common man/woman. Its too smart. True story, years ago me and my family were playing Jeopardy on the Super Nitendo and none of us got the answers right...and this was the kids version yikes!!
JuneF 10/05/2006
I'm tired of it.
trebon1038 06/22/2006
Great show and Alex Trubec is a good host.
LadyJesusFan77 7 06/02/2006
This is a very challenging game. We used to play along and keep score at home. It was a nice family time.
Djahuti 05/09/2006
About the only game show geared towards people with an IQ above the 5th grade.I have to deduct one point for the part where Alex Trebec talks to the players about dumb trivialities in their personal life.
excelsior30 04/11/2006
The best quiz show around. Thank heavens for the format of "The sky's the limit," it is more ineresting and this will rival the syndicated "Millionaire." I do like the regular competition and the college tourney the most. Thank heaven there are as of now, no more celebrities competing. Very educational and it will never get old.
zuchinibut 03/20/2006
Classic game of trivia. The questions might be difficult for some people, but most people are likely to find a category which they find fun to play along with.
HelloKitty09 02/11/2006
No phone-a friend, No bleached blondes...Yep, Jeopardy is a first-rate game show.
TEHCAPSLOCK 12/13/2005
Jeopardy owns. 'Nuff said.
Brandy203 10/04/2005
I really enjoy Jeopardy, most of the time I never get any of the questions correct but I like teen night more because I usually can answer a couple right, the questions are a little easier....... this is a fun show to watch and play along with. 5 stars*****
Cindyo 09/21/2005
It's an enjoyable game to watch, although I would enjoy it more if I could answer more of the questions!
gimligaugi 09/13/2005
Alex Trebek is a Golden God.
PlanetaryGear 08/29/2005
I love Jeopardy! It is probably my favorite show on TV. It is great fun to play along at home, and I find it to be a great way to keep my mind sharp. Although I admit to hating on that pompous flaming Frenchman, Alex Trebeck... He would probably be alot fun to slap around, though I can't think of anyone who could do as good a job on the show as he does.
CanadaSucks 08/25/2005
Not as good as it once was. . .and yes, Alex is a prick who pretends to actually know the answers. . .but this is a first-rate quiz show. Great categories and info. . .
iluvfhandafhv 08/25/2005
I used to watch this show until about 7 years ago. Since then, it has become very boring and unpredictable. Unfortunately, my mom likes this show, but it's a good thing she doesn't make me watch it.
Jopeeps 08/24/2005
Jeopardy is educational and fun!
AvalonMan96 08/12/2005
I love Jeopardy! It's a great show, even better now since that freaky-looking Ken Jennings lost. He ruined the show while he is on, and now that he's gone, all's good again!
kattwoman 06/16/2005
i like jeopardy. i like to see if i can answer before the contestant does. nobody i know likes to watch it though
brayden 12/01/2004
little boring but now ken made it great!!!!!! but he lost
bloop 11/24/2004
I have always referred to Jeopardy as the temple of knowledge because you could not watch an episode without learning something.It is not the most exciting game show and it isn't supposed to be.The temple these days has been dominated by one god Ken Jennings which has become tiresome.I wouldn't be surprised to ultimately see the rules changed after this at some point.
Mr.Political 10/28/2004
I used to love this show but now its become so predictable: Alex starts the show, Ken answers all the questions correctly, and Alex congradulates Ken. I doubt Ken's going anywhere any time soon though, Jeopardy's ratings have doubled (God only know why).
JorganVonSting le 09/11/2004
Ken Jennings is Christ resurrected. Except he's Mormon...well, you know what I mean...
susanbartt 09/09/2004
I used to think it was great until the new rules. Now it's the Ken and Alex show.
James Danco 09/08/2004
This show is okay, but definetly not my favorite. I know the show was a classic to some, but the first time I watched it, I wasn't too impressed. The host is pretty good, but a little boring. Very repetitive, also. I will give it a three, though, because I like Final Jeoprady and seeing how many questions I can get right.
karen britton 08/02/2004
we don't like the new rule on jeopardy, so we have not watched the show since the 5th day ken jennings was on. We won't be watching until he's off.
keengreenmnev 07/18/2004
I've been watching Jeopardy since I was 8 years old. I love it.
BeatlesfanStev eo 07/13/2004
a good show i like the way Alex Trebek acts like a snob it makes the show look better. Although I like wheel of fourtane better.
martinema 07/10/2004
Good show but they should cange the rules so the same people don't win all the time.
phlip-tout 07/10/2004
If I had Alex's job, I would drink, too.
parody 07/07/2004
I got fed up with Jeopardy! Our family is rufusing to watch that show until that get that Mormon off the show. There have been several questions that the guy missed and Jeopardy! allowed the answer to stand. Some have suggested that the so-called Morman Mafia has been helping this guy win. I don't know about that but to me it is just turned into Boringpardy!

Although Merv Griffin is generally accepted as the creator of Jeopardy, in his autobiography he gives the credit to his (then) wife Jeannie. The game show industry had taken a major beating for several years after the payola scandal in the late 1950s. Anyone involved in creating or producing television game shows at that time was afraid that they could become the target of investigations and scandal for even minor, innocent errors. While traveling on a plane and discussing it with his wife she suggested a way around the problem. Why don't we just create a game show where we give the contestants the answers? she suggested. At first Merv misunderstood and said something to the effect of Oh yeah.....we do that and we'll land in jail for sure. No, you don't understand she said. I say to you, the contestant, 'five thousand two hundred and eighty feet'. Merv answered How long is a mile? and with that, the show was born. The shows longevity and range of questions is proof that this is one of the best game shows of all time. I'll admit that I don't know anything about 17th century Balkan wars and even less about rivers and tributaries that run through the Congo but in total Jeopardy is an entertaining and frequently educational show that keeps the mind sharp and often reminds me of how little I actually know. Still, there's no greater satisfaction than watching a rerun with friends and seeing the look on their faces as you name the 14th century Italian clock maker who invented the first astronomical clock. (Giovanni De Dondi)
sperryc 05/20/2004
Jeopardy will never get old (even if Tribek does). Somehow they continue to generate questions that are just the right level of difficulty: hard enough that I'm pretty psyched when I get few in a row right, but easy enough that I keep watching.
