Classic Game Show: "Jeopardy!"

"Jeopardy!" is not one of my favorite game shows of all time, but one in which I HIGHLY respect. With the exception of the change in host in '84, an increase in dollar amounts, constant change in sets, the elimination of every player winning money, and the elimination of prizes for the running up in the syndie version, AND the elimination of the 5-day limit, "Jeopardy!" is the one game show that has changed the LEAST! It's SOOO weird watching a clip from the original year of "Jeopardy!" and hearing the EXACT same "think" music that WAS on "Jeopardy!" every year before this year. It's so weird. Everything else is the same. The same format....the same answer-question format...the same everything in terms of gameplay. I REALLY respect "Jeopardy!" because a number of people will think it's boring sometimes (and at times it is...truly), yet it's STILL the #2 show in syndication. Not game shows, but ALL syndication. It's amazing how successful it still is. It's AMAZING!!! "Jeopardy!" is great and LONG LIVE ALEX TREBEK!!!
