'Jeopardy!' vs. 'Wheel of Fortune'

Which do you prefer, and why?
I'll start: I prefer 'Jeopardy!' since it's one of the few intellectual shows still running on TV. It actually makes you think, requiring the perfect combination of knowledge, intelligence, and skill. Other shows that would fit this category - 'The West Wing', 'All in the Family', etc. It's perfect proof that we don't need trash TV (i.e. 'Teen Mom' or 'Jersey Shore') to be entertained.
'Wheel', on the other hand, gets worse by the season with its gimmicks and loud contestants. Not my type of show...

"Jeopardy" all the way. I can solve the puzzles on Wheel of Fortune after they pick the first correct letter, but I always forget to answer in the form of a question.

Wheel of Fortune was better when the players had to play for money, which was then spent on a bunch of useless, overpriced bullshit in the showcases. SOme of that stuff was soooo ridiculous - "I'll take the golden griffin statues for $8,000 and the years supply of barbeque sauce for $500". LOL.

Wheel Of Fortune because on Jeopardy, you have the luxury of listening to
Alex Trebek read the clues to the contestants,unlke Wheel Of Fortune,where
contestants have to spin the wheel and call out letters just to solve some
boring puzzle regardless of its category.
The long and the short of it is Wheel Of Fortune is an egregiously stupid
game show and nobody learns anything new from watching that show except
how to make complete fools of themselves.

The point I am making here is that Jeopardy is way better than Wheel Of Fortune
in almost every conceivable way you can think of.
In actuality, nobody really ever learns anything new from watching
Wheel Of Fortune except how to make complete fools of themselves.
Where I reside,Jeopardy airs at 4:30 p.m. and Wheel Of Fortune airs at 6:30 p.m.
on Wichita's NBC affiliate (KSNW,Channel 3).
And speaking of Wichita's NBC affiliate, if I were their program director,
I would cancel Wheel Of Fortune and replace it with either Jeopardy,
Family Feud, or infomercials.

Jeopardy is probably one of only three intellectual game shows on TV
(Family Feud and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire are the others).
As for Wheel Of Fortune, that show just gets worse every single year
it remains on TV with its numerous gimmicks and dim-witted contestants.
The long and the short of it is that Wheel Of Fortune is not as popular now
as it was 30 years ago.
As for Pat Sajak and Vanna White,neither of them are as attractive now as they were 30 years ago.
The reality is all good things must come to an end sooner or later,no exceptions.
That includes game shows,reality shows,soap operas,talk shows,you name it.

Wheel Of Fortune was better when the contestants had to play for money, which was then spent on useless,overpriced stuff in the showcases,and whatever money was
left in a contestant's cash account was placed on a gift certificate. That was
back in the 1970s and 1980s.

I don't know what anyone would or would not say, but I seriously think that ever since Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune moved from the CBS affiliate(KWCH,Channel 12)
to the NBC affiliate(KSNW,Channel 3)in 1999,Jeopardy still remains one of only three highly intellectual game shows on TV,while Wheel Of Fortune has transformed
into a mere shell of its former self.
I think the 3-second rule on the final spin,as well as adding $1,000 to whatever
space the Wheel landed on is complete bullshit,which I believe proves that
either Pat Sajak,Vanna White,a member of their production crew,or a combination
of all three,they all managed to really fuck up what used to be one of the most popular game shows on TV.

It seems as if Pat Sajak and Vanna White have no respect for the original format.
In regard to the Final Spin,they managed to ditch the original 5-second rule in
favor of a 3-second rule.
For instance,whenever the Wheel landed on a certain space($100,$150,$250,$500,or
$5000,for example),the consonants were worth their face value (whereas $100 was
$100,$150 was $150,$250 was $250,$500 was $500,and $5000 was $5000).
And now, $300 is $1300,$400 is $1400,and $5000 is $6000.
The current version of Wheel Of Fortune is really completely fucked up.

Most people do not realize that their TV stations, whether it's an ABC affiliate

In my opinion,I believe Wheel Of Fortune should be cancelled because that show
serves no educational purpose whatsoever.

In reality,neither Pat nor Vanna serve any real purpose whatsoever.

There are only three ways I would ever consider watching Wheel Of Fortune.
If it comes down to the series finale,the show itself gets a new host and a new hostess,and/or the 5-second rule gets reinstated and the show ditches the $1,000
cash advance on the Final Spin.

For those who think Pat Sajak and Vanna White are attractive, they should see both of them without the custom-tailored clothing.
They both look like something that rolled out of the crypt.

Jeopardy is really the kind of game show that is worth watching on TV.
As for Wheel Of Fortune, it is over. The ABC-affiliated stations,as well as the NBC-affiliated stations should just let it die.

Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune both ran out of gas like 20 years ago,but Jeopardy comes a lot closer to being considered a highly intellectual game show than Wheel Of Fortune will ever be.

I don't get why the Nielsen TV ratings system always seems to keep Jeopardy stuck at #2. I believe Jeopardy is more worthy of numero uno than Wheel Of Fortune is.

I believe that if there was an actual list of the most highly intellectual game shows in TV history,Jeopardy would be #1,whereas Wheel Of Fortune would be so far outside the top 3 that it would not be considered as such.

if Wheel Of Fortune actually got cancelled.If anything,it would be a very sad day for the game show world if Jeopardy actually got cancelled.I seriously think that
Jeopardy is by far the best damn game show that TV stations across all 50 states have to offer.

For those that actually enjoy watching Wheel Of Fortune,I can say that as good as some people say that show is,I can say that neither the current version nor the 2013-14 version or even the 2011-12 version are as good as the original 1983-84 syndicated version. Even the original 1975-76 version is better than the current version.

Jeopardy reminds me of a serious, no nonsense classroom where the teacher is absolutely merciless when you mess up. Jeopardy wins for intellect.
Wheel of Fortune is just mindless fun.

The Wild Card,the $1,000,000 space,or Pat Sajak and Vanna White adding $1,000 to whatever space the Wheel lands on regarding the Final Spin.
No wonder Wheel Of Fortune has been turned into a lame duck.

Although Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy are definitive classics that are way past their prime,I'd actually prefer Jeopardy over Wheel Of Fortune on any given day on any given week because of how well Alex Trebek pronounces foreign names,words or phrases. As for Wheel Of Fortune,Pat Sajak and Vanna White serve absolutely no real purpose for that show and they haven't done as such over the past 15-20 years.

Jeopardy jumped the shark when it stopped its' "Five Wins and Done" policy.
No one wants to see dorks like Ken Jennings on there for 45 days straight.
Still better than the adult version of Hangman. Bring back Chuck Woolery!

I think the reason that Las Vegas' NBC affiliate (KSNV-TV) decided to dump both Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune is because that station probably wants to save money by replacing those shows with news-related programming. I think that dumping Wheel Of Fortune was a good move on their part,and that dumping Jeopardy was a bad move on their part.I also think that Wichita's NBC affiliate (KSNW-TV) should dump Wheel Of Fortune and retain Jeopardy. As for my two cents worth, if there was an actual competition between Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune,as to which I believe is the better game show,Wheel Of Fortune would lose the head-to-head competition big time.
