Jeopardy! Masters

My wife and I were very pleased with this addition to the "Jeopardy" line-up and looked forward to each episode. The relaxed comradery of the contestants and Ken Jennings just added to the overall "watchability" of the show.

There was one point that we thought a distraction: the importance of the "daily doubles" to the contestants' score weighed too heavily on the outcome. This factor was evident in almost every run-away game where one contestant couldn't be toppled from first place without them doing something untoward with the final bet (which none did).

There needs, we feel, to be some adjustment to the format for this top level competition to remove the randomness of the daily doubles. Maybe make these squares 5,000 points or cap the bet at 5,000 (a difference without a distinction).

We look forward to the next iteration of "Jeopardy Masters".

High caliber human beings. Great idea for the us hard-core. Jennings makes everything work. Rare is a person so suited for the job as Ken.

His timing, his remarks, his gentility. Everything screams that this man was destined to do what he does!

It would be good if the young lady who also hosts would take a few ideas from his style. Her timing is so awkward when she will pause before saying that the answer is correct. Unnerving to the watchers and I would think the players as well.

Of course, the writers deserve credit for their questions, or rather answers. They deserve to be introduced.

Again, Jennings is the Best!

I have not been able to watch an entire episode since Alex Trebeck died. So why would I want to watch this? I grew up watching him. No other host has had the charm, humor, and charisma. He had the presence and confidence to just be himself. Ken and Mayim do not. They both overact to impress. There were a few who were on during the trials that I enjoyed and wanted to continue watching.

I think I will see if any of the streaming shows play reruns! Bet I can answer the questions since I don't watch any of the newer shows. Now I have to make up more comments until I meet the character total required to have this published!! I'm done.

With these particular contestants, even though questions for players like these keep most of Americans in the dark as far as playing along. The interplay betwixt the contestants remains sharp and engaging. You can tell there is a healthy amount of mutual respect going on here and that is Kinda heartwarming and makes you wanna be smart enough to hang out in the green room with these guys and with "KJ" hosting makes this truly wonderful for any fan of Jeopardy. I don't write a lot of reviews on IMDB and I can not treally beleive I am writing one on Jeopardy, but this Version of jeopardy is the most "entertained" I've been for the show.

I have watched "Jeopardy!" from its earliest days, when Art Fleming was the host. And I am enjoying this version of the game more than any other.

First of all, there are some prodigious talents manning the buzzers. They actually make the questions look easy, despite the fact that they are obviously tackling answers that are more difficult than usual.

Secondly, these players know each other and they have a pleasing rapport. The good-natured ribbing, combined with real respect for each other's talents, make for enjoyable viewing.

Finally, Ken Jennings is the best host for this series, because he also has great rapport with and respect for the players.

As James Holzhauer would say, "I am all in" for this show. And if they ever think about doing this again, I say "Bring it!"
