Game shows have been around since there was Radio. Contestants lucky enough to get on the show have the chance to win cash and prizes. However, Jeopardy does this differently. Two new contestants have to battle wits against a returning champion in order to claim any cash prize. They don't automatically walk away with whatever they earn. They leave with money only if they win. That total is accumulated up until they lose when they are paid out for all their winnings. If you go on and lose you get nothing other than being on TV.
Maybe this is why Jeopardy is such a popular game show. You can even play at home and question the answers to see if you are right. Most of the time you forget the answers to questions you get wrong, but if its the final jeopardy question you have more of a chance to remember it, especially if it was question you answered wrong on. I like Jeopardy and hope to see it never go away. I can always count on it being 7pm and watching Jeopardy on ABC.
