In my opinion, this sound was too much. We have the new Jeopardy fill in sound because the writers thout that we hear that sound a lot so it made sense that we have a new sound.
Personally, I think that there are a lot of things that "Jeopardy!" should have kept for its 25th anniversary! The original board fill sound effect... the practice of changing the set colors for the Double and Final Jeopardy rounds... the consolation prizes for the second and third place contestants... Oh, dear me! All these things were so classic, they should have been carried over into today's "Jeopardy!" SHAME ON YOU, SONY PICTURES! YOU'VE RUINED A CLASSIC MERV GRIFFIN GAME SHOW!!!
@Seth62392 What I think Jeopardy should've done for the 25th anniversary was keep the old board fill sound but bring back popping in the dollar values on the Double Jeopardy board, keep the swooshing sound at the top of the show, the set turning red in Double Jeopardy, and the theme music and think music left alone until Season 27.
23, the sound goes off in 23 beeps. I counted, and Jeapordy should've kept the sound. Also, good selection music for the megaman hack(if someone already had it now) for the weapon selection with the metal slug formula. See if it's compatible, later.
@jarvisbrodiea1 The swooshing sound effect was used with the grid set. It was dropped altogether midway into season 13 when the sushi bar set was first used. However the swooshing sound was put back into use from midway into season 18 until the end of season 24
When they took away the fill in beeping sound, they took away part of Jeopardy! Really, look at the show. It's still Jeopardy, but it's been going downhill since its 25th season.
Also RIP kirbykirbykirby(dot)com with my favorite cartoon; the site was completely redesigned only to promote Kirby Super Star Ultra close to that same date when Jeopardy's 25th season began.
I'm pissed with the new sounds. like DorvelTstewart said, Jeopardy without the board fill sound is like TPIR without the losing horn and losing music. and then Wheel of fortune threw out the free spin, which was one of the best "power-ups" in that show. the free spin was awesome!
I think I might know one of the reasons why they got rid of it. I noticed that on the early episodes, Alex would be like "The Jeopardy! round, here we go!!" And then he would basically just 'let the sound play.' In later years when this sound played, he would usually just talk all the way through it, as if it weren't there.
Are the people at "Jeopardy!" really that stupid? They took away the trademark sound. Why would they do that? What made them think taking it away was a good idea?
I am furious that 'Jeopardy!' decided to remove the iconic sound. However, I do believe that 'Jeopardy!' will have continued success since Trebek is still with the show.
Jeopardy is still not as progressive as Wheel Of Fortune. Compare an episode from 1976, 1985, 1993, 1999, and today, you'll notice alot of changes for each era. Only the Wheel hasn't changed that much (besides Inflation!).
When the sound effect was removed in round 2 in season 19, I knew its days were numbered. Now it's just nostalgia along with changing colors right before the commercial break into Double Jeopardy! along with the prizes for 2nd and 3rd place contestants.
If anyone had the idea to remove this sound, then they are idoits. They might've think it's annoying, but it's not. It's just a great sound to get fired up and excited about a round coming up. I hope those kind of guys will get fired, and I even hope for the old producers and/or new, great ones will take over.
New generation of people running it... it started 25 years ago.. all the people who made that sound and other things are all retiring... And a new generation is taking over.
Even in Art Fleming's Jeopardy, the board was never "just there". Its reveal always got some fanfare. The beeping is the fanfare for the gameboard on Alex Trebek's Jeopardy.
I can't stop crying. When I first started watching "Jeopardy!" back in 1998, I used to imitate this sound. Now that it's gone, I can no longer do it. Board Fill sound, you will truly be missed.
You and me both. I'm so disgusted by it I've completely stopped watching new games. They had lightning in a bottle, and they shattered it by not doing the beeping. It's as much a trademark on Jeopardy! as the losing horns are on The Price is Right.
What I think would be cool is if someone made a recording of the board fill sound, managed to get on the show, and played the recording at the start of the Jeopardy round, as well as at the start of Double Jeopardy! It'd be interesting to see how everyone would react to it!
I wonder if Jeopardy! is starting to become more quieter off the start of their programming now that we don't hear the sound at all... it sucks for me because I can no longer do funny stuff with my face since they took it away.
I never understood why "The Price is Right" was so popular. After watching a few episodes, I discovered why: because it hasn't changed. The music, sound effects and games have stayed the same since the 70s, even after Bob Barker left.
The producers should stop feeling pressured to change/update Jeopardy. Remember: if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
You know, as much as I liked that sound, it really wasn't necessary to fill the board with dollar values anymore. If you noticed in recent past seasons, they had already discontinued the board fill sound at the beginning of Double Jeopardy! so naturally it would make sense to eliminate it altogether.
Same way I feel about the Price is Right. They kicked out the wrong models for no reason. I mean they must be high on marijuana or something to commit an act that sneaky.
there is still the daily double and final jeopardy sounds as well. I'm glad they haven't changed. Alex came to life when the board filled in. I don't know why they fixed something that wasn't broken, but now is broken.
That's an awesome way to put it my bro! They're probably as dumb as the ppl on TPiR who fired some of the newer models for nothing, save for two of them. Not only that, but they let the older ones continue. I mean they can't get any stupider!
So let me see...even though Jeopardy! is still the same game it's been for almost 45 years now (tell me I'm wrong...I DARE ya), and is still popular, you don't watch because of one stupid sound effect.
(Sarcastically) Yeah. We don't watch because of one stupid sound effect. They had absolutely NO business removing it whatsoever. I mean what was the point of doing so?
@rfrancis51284 2008 was the worst year for Jeopardy. Fucked up the theme, fucked up the think music, removed the board fill same. R.I.P. Trebek Jeopardy 1984-2008, 90s was the best.
