IT'S AMERICA'S ONLY INTELLIGENT GAME SHOW.

I don't think the news is fake,  but it can be childishly petty.  This morning in Salon one of their lesser contributors Ashlie Stevens  wrote "Anderson Cooper logged a new ratings low during his debut week of hosting Jeopardy." Now what value does that  negative comment have? As a regular viewer of Jeopardy, I thought Anderson Cooper was perfect for the role.  And even if he weren't, it was a two-week stint in an unfamiliar venue. It seems incredibly small for Ms. Stevens to add that totally unnecessary comment. With Alex gone, the show is trying to get its footing again. While I was opposed to Ken Jennings hosting, he was excellent. But no host should be faulted for poor ratings during this trial period.
