On March 30, 1964, a clever little quiz show called “Jeopardy” made its debut on NBC, & has been beamed into our living rooms ever since. The concept – pitched by creator Merv Griffin – was actually developed by his wife, Julann. It was she who came-up with the unusual format of giving contestants the Answers first – to which they had to respond with the appropriate Questions. As much as television & viewing habits have changed over the years, the game of “Jeopardy” has remained basically the same throughout – except for a swap of the hosts (from Art Fleming to Alex Trebec in 1984), the show’s overall appearance, & the technology used on the set.

A favorite among TV viewers who enjoy watching a more “challenging” game show, “Jeopardy” can be both educational & entertaining. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to post our own CAPTUS SYSTEMS/Audio-Visual game with our readers every few weeks – so let’s see how you do with this first installment. Get those buzzers ready!
