What element would you add to Jeopardy?

I just don't want Jeopardy! to turn into Jep! (Click on the "Jep!" link to see what I mean):

As they say, don't fix what isn't broken.

However, the Turntable area on The Price is Right now looks too much like Jeopardy!

I think there is one thing broken, now that I think of it. I will forever and always love the original board filling sound effect. I was actually a bit upset when they got rid of it. I like that they brought back some kind of sound effect, but I want the original back. That is the only other change I would seriously wish they'd implement.

I agree completely.  Jeopardy! is pretty close to perfect, as far as I'm concerned.  I've never had a problem with the format, set changes, theme changes, etc., but changing the board-filling sound effect was a mistake.  The old one was much better, and I hope they go back to it next season.

<sarcasm>Finally, something to make Daily doubles more interesting!</sarcasm>

In all seriousness, I think they should bring back the "win five games, win a car" rule.  Barry & Enright didn't have a problem with it on Tic Tac Dough.  (I wonder what Thom McKee did with his eight cars...)

Barry & Enright were giving away cars that cost about $3000.

Or have Sony give away cars worth $10,000.

Alex: Here are some exciting new changes that we have. We are still "The Sky's the Limit", meaning you can play until you are defeated, win $100,000, $1,000,000, etc. But, when a J! champion wins the first five games, and only the first five games, he/she will win a new car.

The Feud still has the "Win five games, win a new car rules" but win Fast Money four/five times wins $100,000.

$5K-$6K during the syndicated run, save for 1984-85 where they offered a $12K Eagle wagon on Joker and Tic. I guess the cars in 1972-73 given away with the Joker's Jackpot were about $2500-$3000.

Greatest suggestion ever.

Just leave the show as it is. Nothing wrong with it.

I think there have probably been other ways of filling in the clues at the beginning of the rounds (both in terms of visuals and sound effects) that I've preferred to the current way. But honestly, that's pretty much out of sight, out of mind. I don't think about it much.

Jeopardy is so fundamentally sound. I wouldn't want to see any changes beyond the minor tweaks to stage and theme that they do every few seasons as a matter of course. Jeopardy is the gold standard of quiz shows.

Aside from myself as a contestant... nothing, really.

I don't get it.  Aside from the 'prison cell' (and admitting I can't hear the host just by looking at pictures), that sounds like a perfectly reasonable Saturday-morning Jeopardy! adaptation.

The only thing I can think of is bringing back the cash bonus for sweeping a category like the Fleming days once had, but I don't think that's really necessary.

Although the Kids' Week runner-up cash prizes (which are the exact same as those for the adults) could use a little uppage...

I think the Kids' week contestants last time got a computer as the runner up, and the winner got a trip to a Linblad expedition to either the Galapagos Islands or somewhere, it was a different trip like that each day. Most unfair thing done on kids' week is, in a game in 2002 or so when there was a tie at the end of FJ!, rather than declaring co-champs and awarding both kids the money, they played a tiebreaker clue to declare a sole champion. The Kids' week isn't a tourney like the Teen or COllege tourney or anything, they were just being cheap in that instance.
