[edit] Trivia

• Has been parodied multiple times. One prominent example is the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches on Saturday Night Live.
• The episode numbers for the show after the first season are off by 65 because the 65 reruns during the first season included new episode numbers. Therefore, the first episode of the second season was episode number 261 even though it was only the 196th episode.
