Episode recap

The episode identified as season two, episode 155 (show number 415) of the 1984 version of Jeopardy! presents three new competitors: Gregory Charles, Kathy Collins, and Donald Burgo. As with every installment of the series, the three contestants face the familiar structure of the quiz‑show format that has defined the program since its creation by Merv Griffin. The game proceeds through the Jeopardy! round, the Double Jeopardy! round, and the Final Jeopardy! round, each segment offering a board of clues organized by category. Contestants select clues, view the corresponding answer, and must respond in the form of a question in order to earn the value attached to the clue. Correct responses add to a contestant’s total, while incorrect answers deduct the same amount. The episode follows the standard timing and rules established for the series, including the use of the “Daily Double” clues that allow a player to wager any portion of their current score.

The program is hosted by Alex Trebek, whose role includes reading each clue, confirming correct phrasing, and managing the flow of the game. The iconic voice of Johnny Gilbert provides the opening and closing announcements, as is customary for the series. The production values, including the distinctive game board, the theme music, and the television‑G rating, align with the series’ long‑standing presentation style, which blends elements of reality competition with family‑friendly entertainment.

While the specific scores, category selections, and final outcome of the contest are not detailed in the available synopsis, the episode adheres to the established format that has made Jeopardy! a staple of American television. The inclusion of Gregory Charles, Kathy Collins, and Donald Burgo adds fresh competition to the season’s lineup, continuing the show’s tradition of testing contestants’ breadth of knowledge across a wide range of subjects. The episode is catalogued on The Movie Database (TMDB) and is listed among other entries for the series, which has been reviewed and rated on platforms such as ČSFD.cz, reflecting its continued popularity and cultural relevance.
