For the next four weeks, Jeopardy! is rerunning episodes from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. This week is a "best of the first decade" collection:

Monday: First episode with Alex Trebek (9/10/84)
Tuesday: Second episode (9/11/84) - noteworthy because everyone risks all their money on Final Jeopardy and misses, so nobody wins
Wednesday: Final regular game of champion Chuck Forrest (10/4/85)
Thursday: Final regular game of champion Frank Spangenberg (1/15/90)
Friday: Final game of the 10th Anniversary tournament (12/3/93)

Next week is reruns of Celebrity Jeopardy! episodes:

Monday: Carol Burnett, Donna Mills, and Regis Philbin (10/26/92) - first Celebrity game ever
Tuesday: Jodie Foster, Harry Connick Jr., and Nathan Lane (2/5/01)
Wednesday: Charles Barkley, Martha Stewart, and Jeff Probst (2/6/01)
Thursday: Wayne Brady, Dana Delany, and Eric Idle (2/7/01)
Friday: Jane Curtin, Cheech Marin, and Michael McKean (5/7/10) - final game of a $1M celebrity tournament

The following two weeks are a rerun of the Million Dollar Masters tournament from May 2002.

Without access to the internet, people just knew a lot less trivia back then. These questions are much easier than now
