Jeopardy is one of America’s longest-running game shows. It is a good old-fashioned, family-friendly TV for sure. Broadcasting through the airwaves since 1964, this quiz show turns the table on the traditional question-and-answer format of typical quiz shows. Three contestants select categories for money from $200 to $1000, like “Potent Potables for $400.” This reveals a question in the form of a statement that the contestants have to answer with a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So keeping with this topic, Potent Potables, which by the way, is just a fancy way to say alcoholic beverages, the clue could be “This Japanese drink is produced from steamed rice called koji.” Then a contestant buzzes in to answer. In this case, the answer is, “What is sake?” Just saying it gives me goosebumps. There is something about answering a question that just makes me feel very academic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, back to the game, if they get the answer right, the money adds to their total, and they get to choose another category. This continues for three rounds, including a Double Jeopardy and Final Jeopardy round, where the stakes get higher and higher as the amount of money increases. Winners of each episode get to come back and compete to win more. One Jeopardy contestant, James Holzhauer<\/a>, won an incredible $131,127 in a single episode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to its dedicated fan base, Jeopardy is still on the air and has amassed over 8,000 episodes. Yes, you read that right, eight thousand! That’s over 3000 hours of television that I would not advise you to binge-watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, at a quaint 25 minutes, it is the perfect informative, light-hearted show to watch with family and friends. As a matter of fact, I love playing episodes of Jeopardy when Michelle and I host trivia nights with our friends. We all gather around and try to answer the questions along with the contestants as the iconic theme song blasts over our Vizio soundbar. By the way, if you haven’t connected your soundbar to your Roku TV, you need to ASAP. I’ve written all about it here<\/a>, so go do that first and thank me later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Circling back, when one of my friends, who also has a Roku TV, asked me, “how can I watch Jeopardy on Roku?” I realized that although this quiz show is unbelievably successful, not everyone has access to it. So, I did what I always do – I did my research. If you, too, are wondering how to watch Jeopardy on Roku, well, I have several options for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeopardy airs on ABC, so if you have a cable subscription, you can download ABC from the Roku Channel Store and install it on your device.
