With game shows like Jeopardy!, The Price Is Right, Family Feud, and more, these programs are all about tradition. Many of the fanbases who watch these shows take an “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” approach to things. Viewers tend to like consistency, and that often means not rocking the boat all too often.

It turns out, there are some changes to the Jeopardy! set which coincides with the latest episodes on the air, and viewers are taking notice. One of the most obvious changes is the new game board. Instead of each category and dollar value having its own monitor, it’s now one giant screen for everything. The categories are now highlighted as well, which will make it easier for viewers at home to keep track.

There is even updated music when host Ken Jennings introduces the categories. This is in addition to a gold tint around the monitor closest to Ken Jennings. This adds a bit more aesthetic to the whole thing. So, while these changes are not necessarily drastic, they are noticeable enough for viewers to pay attention.

  • One commenter said: “Jeopardy is back with its upgraded set tonight. Looking nice!”
  • Another game show watcher said: “I LOVE that they listened to the fans and inserted a category highlight marker after a contestant verbally says what it is they’re interested in, because those of us at home can’t always believe what we just heard and have to double-check to make sure their selection matches up with what we think we just heard.”
