Broadcast History
Jeopardy! has enjoyed a long life in various incarnations over the course of nearly a half-century. The show spent 11 years as a daytime network program on NBC, which spawned a weekly syndicated version and an unsuccessful revival. The most successful incarnation of the show is the current syndicated version, which debuted on September 10, 1984.
In addition to its main broadcast history, Jeopardy! has also enjoyed two spin-offs: Rock & Roll Jeopardy!, a music-intensive program; and Jep!, a version featuring preteen contestants.

“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
