Show Summary

  • Returning Series

The 27th season premiere of Jeopardy! started Monday, September 13, 2010. Jeopardy! has been renewed through the 2011-2012 season.

''

The show first aired in March 1964 and lasted nearly 11 years on NBC daytime (ironically, its current companion in syndication, Wheel of Fortune, replaced the daytime Jeopardy!). The show resurfaced in a modified format in 1978, came back in syndication in 1984, and has since won 28 Emmy awards. This simple "reverse quiz" formula resulted in one of the most successful game shows in TV history.

  • I learn a lot, but the judges' calls tick me off and Alex's "I can do any accent" attitude is uncharming. Especially when he pronounces "Don Juan" as "Don Jew-on"

    "Mediocre"
    By InkHeart18, Apr 27, 2011 Report Abuse
    The main problem I have with this show: the judges. They nitpick some contestants and then let others slide.

    The issue of pronunciation: If you make a long "a" instead of a short "a," sometimes they say the answer is wrong.

    Pluralization: I understand this sometimes, like when the category limits the number of letters in the correct response or adhering to book titles. But usually, they just nitpick with the addition of "s."

    Memorable mess ups:

    to an Aesop fable question a woman replied, "What is 'The Turtle and the Hare'" and they gave it to her. No! It's "The Tortoise and the Hare"

    some question about a camera lens that uses "these three primary colors": "What are red, blue, and yellow?" dubbed incorrect. The correct answer: "Red, blue, and green." Green is a secondary color! The question set up the wrong response! The guy should have received credit.

    a question about the title of Mercury/Hermes' staff and the symbol for medicine: no one pronounced "Caduceus" correctly, but again the question is wrong. The U.S. symbol of medicine is inaccurate. Caduceus with two snakes is exclusive to Hermes; the rod of Asclepius is the symbol of medicine with only one snake.moreless

  • Calling it the greatest game show of all time is underselling it.

    "Perfect"
    By jseger9000, Jan 30, 2011 Report Abuse
    Jeopardy! is practically perfect in every way. There's a reason for this show's extraordinary run and dedicated fan base.

    The premise is easy enough to understand even if you've never seen the show before. The rapid fire answers and questions broken only by the occasional Daily Double draws you in. When Alex reads a clue, you want to shout the response before the contestant does, even if you are home alone.

    Alex Trebek is an excellent host. Smart and in total control, smoothly reading the many clues, rarely if ever stumbling over an obscure pronunciation or accent, yet not above acting goofy from time to time.

    The best thing about Jeopardy! is that it is one of the few places on TV where intelligence is not only expected, but celebrated. Your average Jeopardy! contestant is likely to be a librarian, a graduate student or an engineer. I love rule change years back allowing a champion to remain on the show until they are defeated.

    When I moved to Houston, I was sad because Jeopardy! is scheduled at 11:30. The thought of not being able to watch this one show convinced me to get a DVR. It's that good.moreless

  • Good Game Show.

    "Great"
    By alisao64, Dec 10, 2010 Report Abuse
    It has great questions, and it also opens the show to kids, teens, and college students. It is a game show that everyone will enjoy, your children, dogs, cats, fathers, mothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, fish, bananas, and you. This game show also has been on many game consoles. I don't know anybody who doesn't like a game show as simple as jeopardy. Even If You're behind in this game, a daily double could bring you in the lead. Player 1 Player 2 Player 3 2,800 4,400 7,200 Daily Double 5,600 As I said before, this is a very simple (With Challenging Questions) that everyone will love.moreless

    This is probablly my favorite game show at the moment. I like the concept of this show of how people answer questions and move up the ranks of the game each week (or episode whatever.) Another thing I like (which is also the main "make it or break it" factor for me) are the questions. I like how diverse they are each episode, like some questions will be about historical happenings and others will be about gardening and others will be about foreign foods, and I usually learn a couple things each time I watch it. If nothing else is on besides this, don't hesitate to watch. 10/10 A+moreless

    I like the concept of people picking categories and the amount of money, I like the daily doubles, final Jeopardy, etc. I think this is the best game show on TV and I think it is clever. Some of the contestants that become champions I do not like, but overall I think this is a great show. It's fun to keep track of how many you have gotten right. When I was younger I really wanted to be on it someday. Anyways, this is my favorite game show on TV, and as such, my overall grade is an A+. Perfectmoreless
