Jeopardy TV Show

Jeopardy is perhaps one of the oldest game shows with a historic broadcast record.

I mean, I remember the time when I used to sit besides my grandfather while he used to watch this game show.

I used to take pride in the fact that my grandfather thought I am inclined to learn new things, and so I never missed to sit with him while watching the show.

The series premiered in the year 1964 with the mastermind Merv Griffin at its helm.

It first aired on March 30, 1964 on NBC Network, and perhaps the creator of this wonderful series had no idea that the series would go on to become one of the most popular game shows in history, and would continue to air for decades.

Whoa!

Had Merv ever dreamt of reaching such a zenith, he would have been really proud of making his dream come true.

Jeopardy, along with being immensely entertaining, is also a great source of alleviating one’s knowledge, as the show touches upon different categories like – World History, World Origins, Literature, Geography, Pop culture, Science, Sports, and many more.

Wow!

I miss my old days, but thankfully I don’t really have to miss the show, since it is still being broadcast with the same vigor as in the yesteryears.

It has always been fun, challenging myself with the quiz round after round, and feeling the exhilarating victory if I ever happened to hit the right answers.

The feeling was almost the same as that of the actual winner on the show, except of course, he got the money, while I watched on empty-handed. LOL!

Even though I no longer intend to challenge myself with the quiz show the way I used to a long time back, but at least I haven’t lost my interest in the series even after years of watching it.

Such is the spell of the mesmerizing show, that I would continue watching Jeopardy episodes for as long as it continues.
