I imagine it's been mentioned multiple times in the thread before, but how does the buzzer timing work on Jeopardy? I remember being told a lot of success in Jeopardy can be had just by mastering the buzzer timing.

I didn't watch tonight's episode but I caught... last nights? Or maybe the night before... it's been such a long week... but anyway, I felt like Cooper does fine at reading the clues, but he takes too long to respond after the contestant answers. I don't feel like he's got the rhythm for the show.

Are cable companies tracking viewership these days or is it still all based on set-top boxes from the Nielsen company?

These three might be good at their regular jobs but I am unsure if they can do basic arithemic in that state of mind. Might explains Eddie's glasses. Haven't seen the episode but your post reminded me of this:

Oh and also reminded me that we got robbed that SNL never got Alex Trebek to do anything more than a brief cameo on their parody Maybe there was some contract bullshit with Sony or whatever that prevented it but I firmly believe Trebek would have absolutely killed it

Question for the thread at large: If you were in charge of Jeopardy and had total freedom to make whatever changes you wanted, what would you change to make it better?

I saw a video of an old episode from the 70s and I noticed that it seemed like contestants were able to buzz in before the clue had been fully read (but Fleming still read the whole clue out) - when did that change and was that ultimately a change for the better?

Zesty posted:What's got you so into Jeopardy, Farmer Crack-rear end, that you're giving the thread conversation prompts? The thread's had a "last read" tag for me for a few years now - there was a stretch of time when I watched regularly - so I occasionally pop in and see what's been happening. I think what prompted my post on Wednesday was people talking about contestants' betting, and I feel like usually when that comes up it's people griping about how contestants are so bad at betting, so I wondered if anyone would see the betting aspect of the game as something that could be improved. The most recent post was prompted when I clicked on RC and Moon Pie's Youtube link to the old 80s theme music, and I followed a couple of recommended videos off of that and wound up on this recording of an episode from 1978. It's striking to me how much more rapid-fire the answers and questions were back then, although I much prefer Final Jeopardy to Super Jeopardy. I guess I would want to change Jeopardy to make it less dependent on timing the buzzer; I don't find it particularly engaging that someone dominates "merely" by having the best buzzer skill. I know that the response to that is "well the contestants know nearly so many answers that buzzing in ASAP is generally the correct strategy" so perhaps a combination of making it more difficult and perhaps more heavily penalizing incorrect responses (e.g. if you get it wrong you lose twice the value of the clue) would help to deter just mashing the button?
