We watched a lot when I was a kid. I always enjoyed being able to answer a question that my mother or father didn't know. It was a good lesson in how to make educated guesses or how to use contextual clues to sniff out a probable answer. Fun show.

I never followed the whole Ken Jennings streak, sounds very impressive.

I watched Jeopardy as a kid, too. We would count how many we got right and have a little competition. Usually it was only about 4 but it was exciting when the answer was something out of a book I was reading for school and none of the contestants knew the answer.
