    Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have skilled outstanding adjustments in recent times, so any extra could possibly be the straw that broke the camel’s again and despatched viewers fleeing.

    Each reveals have endured for a few years due to their legions of followers, who devour new episodes, reruns, and any primetime spinoffs that creep up after we least anticipate them.
