This is during Double Jeopardy, mind you. A category called Four Letter Words included such toughies as: Little girls do it with a rope, Van Halen does it with a song (jump), and Serling's Twilight and a basketball defense (zone). Aaaaargh.

The show is a pitiful echo of its former self. Whereas the old "Jeopardy" rewarded intelligence, the new "Jeopardy" merely insults it. bling quality gray matter. Then again, the questions and answers were almost exclusively simple and simple-minded. And that is the most annoying aspect of the new "Jeopardy." There's nothing special about the knowledge required.

There's no challenge. Science, literature, philosophy? Who needs 'em? If you watch a lot of TV and read People magazine, you're set.

The host is Alex Trebek, one of the generation of game-show host clones who popped into view during the 1970s.

He used to host "High Rollers," which should have been a tip-off that the new "Jeopardy" would be a joke. Even legendary announcer Don Pardo is missing. Of course, they couldn't totally demolish "Jeopardy." The brainless, shrieking Bozos who usually serve as contestants on many game shows just don't fit the "Jeopardy" format. But the three bland ciphers who competed for money and prizes on this week's premiere sure didn't Knlght-Rldder Newspapers The new "Jeopardy" is a disgrace. It may get ratings, but it deserves no respect The slicked-up new version of one of television's few intelligent game shows is aimed straight at a pin-head pop culture mentality.

With the new "Jeopardy," a knowledge of Michael Jackson is a lot more important than a knowledge of Shakespeare. Anyone with fond memories of the original "Jeopardy" may well be appalled. The no-nonsense original was straightforward, cerebral and challenging. Host Art Fleming was refreshingly unslick. And the contestants were actually intelligent human beings.

Best of all, viewers who played along at home could feel pretty good about their own brain power if they answered even a fair percentage of the questions. On the new "Jeopardy," you PLITT-s 125 E.
