Jeopardy! fans had positive reactions to a change in the beloved game show's schedule that will change the way viewers watch the show forever. Hosted by former contestant Ken Jennings, Jeopardy! currently airs in syndication, with no streaming options available to fans who miss an episode or who want to revisit their favorites. However, this is all about to change.

Jeopardy! fans had positive reactions to a change in the beloved game show's schedule that will change the way viewers watch the show forever.

In a Jeopardy! Reddit thread created by dishnet34, fans reacted to the news that, for the first time ever, the game show will stream next day on Hulu, Peacock and Hulu on Disney+, starting this September. Fans were happy to see Jeopardy! making use of newer ways of watching television to keep the show current. Reddit whalebacon wrote, "Welcome to the 21st century. It's about damn time."

Redditor 853fisher said, "I'm grateful for this, and I hope it does help younger and other people become / stay engaged with the show. I only wish I could tell my 10-year-old self, compulsively going over our VCR programming to make sure I didn't miss any game shows, that it would be easier one day."

Other fans were happy that they could catch up on Jeopardy! if the show is interrupted because of weather warnings. Redditor nimrod1138 wrote, "Great news, especially during the summer when tornado warnings 70 miles away pre-empt it (like it did last Friday)." QuaintMelissaK said, "Good! I live in Tornado Alley, and sometimes the show is interrupted because of severe weather."

Another fan pointed out that Jeopardy! often airs at the same time as sporting events, so now viewers don't have to choose between the two. ZiggyPalffyLA wrote, "You know who really benefits from this? Sports fans! Jeopardy! often airs during sporting events (especially on the west coast) and sports aren’t something you can watch the next day, so Jeopardy! usually gets missed. This makes me so happy!"

What Jeopardy!’s Streaming Deal Means For Fans

Fans Will Never Miss A Jeopardy! Episode

Jeopardy!'s streaming deal means that fans will never miss an episode of the show again. If the show is pre-empted or viewers miss it for some other reason, they can catch up on episodes whenever they want. This will also be convenient for people who like to go back and analyze episodes, especially during controversial rulings or multi-day champions' runs, and for those who just like to take a nostalgic trip down Jeopardy! memory lane every once in a while.

Our Take On Jeopardy! Finally ing Streaming Services

Jeopardy! Should've Done This A Long Time Ago

I'm so happy that Jeopardy! is finally ing streaming services. I know how frustrating it is when an episode is pre-empted, and there's no convenient way to watch it in full. I agree with the Reddit who said that it will help people stay engaged with the show. It's disappointing to miss an episode, and it can make people give up on watching. Now they can simply catch up with Jeopardy! on a streaming service, and it's about time.

I also think that some fans might even begin binge-watching Jeopardy! through the streaming services. It'll be fun to watch or revisit past champions' runs on the show, especially when tournament play begins. I think that Jeopardy! is the perfect game show to air on streaming services because fans are so invested in the players. I'd love to go back and rewatch the Jeopardy! Masters season 3 contestants' episodes now as the tournament is airing. I can't wait for September, when I can watch Jeopardy! whenever I want.

Jeopardy! airs weeknights. Please check your local listings for time and channel.
