Thread Name: BS: Boycott Jeopardy!
Subject: RE: BS: Boycott Jeopardy!
Tut Tut Tut.   Always there are those that will find fault. The format had become predictable and the viewership was not as hot as before. So---a change in format was called for. Jennings was not the first one in this format--he just happened be blowing it away now.

But, the run does end since the newspapers have said he has flown to NY for appearances on morning TV shows.   

My question is---how is that the Jeopardy people can keep the length of this pre taped run more secret than the Gov't. can keep some of theirs.

Meanwhile---I am hooked and tape the episodes if I am not home (as I was not tonight). I must see how it all ends. To me---great programming with this new hook.

By the way---to me the only intelligent quiz show on the air---Wheel of Fortune would be best called Yahoos Spinning A Wheel---but, then again these are two shows for disparate audiences. That is programming.
