Do you have the "trip down memory lane" that Alex referenced at the start of this one? I'd love to see it.

[rivera5b]

@denelson83 no i can't say i did.

Wow, Stefan's hair cut is horrible.

[rivera5b]

I liked everything about the new set even the new podiums and the way they light up from the left & Right side to connect when a contestant rings in.

[NcklCrkRcks]

[RetroVideoFan]

@NcklCrkRcks I've noticed that too. He looks more professional.

This is "JEOPARDY!"

Let's meet today's contestants:

A museum publicist from Philadelphia, PA, Elisabeth Flynn.

An oil filtration business developer from Orlando, FL, Enrique Machado.

And our returning champion, a video game tester and camp counselor from Los Angeles, CA, Stefan Goodreau (whose 5-day cash winnings total $84,870). And now, here is the host of "JEOPARDY!", Alex Trebek!

What about that coolest font that is used for all these contestants' names??

I like the new Jeopardy and the new theme and board sound effects. Jeopardy is my favortie game show and it allways will be. I play the board game of Jeopardy a lot.

I wish they couldv'e kept the beep beep beep boop boop boop sound.

[zbsx]

@cubsrule2040 It's better than nothing.

[spongebsqaurep]

"Stooooopid Aaaanswweeeeers." Haha! ;D

I like the new theme music and think music at the end. The set's alright, although it seems like the main stage is too small for the rest of the set. Take a look at :56 to see what I mean.

The board loading sound was a change that I didn't expect, and really I can't say anything about it beyond "Oooh, prettyyy." But I suppose I favor the classic "bloop-bloop-bloop-bloop-bloop­, etc." sound.

Not digging the 3-second chime, but that may just be my knee jerk reaction to change. Ask me again next year.

[jubjub449]

Just like microsoft, SONY is pushing that futuristic effects and glass effects :|

[Kwpolska]

New opening made idea for a new set (sic!, all by 14 seconds) - 'shutter' set. It can help use smaller amount of energy by set (screens is off to start of show, after clue it will be off, all with shutters (some, two with cash values and two empty, excepting screens with Final J! - 2x$, 1xempty, 1xJeopardy!) and based on idea from old times of Jeopardy - animations between rounds...

Stefan got a haircut over the summer, I see.

[iamed8]

It gone for 2002-2009 set, and now for 2009-Present

[shaneinkster]

One Set to Rule them All...

[Bus7777]

That set is hideous! What happed to the 1997-2001?

[shaneinkster]

i wish this was still on CTV

[Kwpolska]

New intro wasn't look cool with theme as 25th season intro.

[JBTHREAT]

I like the new 3 second chime, I also like the set.
