I hit the wall with the Inside Jeopardy podcast and behind-the-scenes content. Michael Davies has been a producer for sports as well as game shows and he’s made the decision to treat Jeopardy as a sport. We saw that coming last year when they introduced advanced stats and posted new ones after each show. It doesn’t draw me in but I don’t care as long as the syndicated show stays the same.
Even though I’m a fan of an NFL team and I have had a season ticket for over two decades, you can’t make me watch a network pregame show. And the Jeopardy podcast has turned into the equivalent of a network pregame show. There were recaps of last week’s shows, a discussion of what contestants were wearing, and interviews with one champion, David the priest, and four upcoming contenders in the tournament of champions. TMI for me. I get it that the staff is interacting with super fans on Reddit and social media and they find these fans have a deep connection to the show and everything about it but I don’t. All I want to do is watch the show on TV every weeknight. During the summer reruns the podcast had some interesting interviews with the writers, hosts, and Johnny Gilbert. There were announcements about the upcoming season. Now the podcast has become something else. I will continue to listen for another week or two to see if anything changes. After all it’s still a new podcast and they might be finding their way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
