Clue was-

When it premiered in 1974, this TV show used a 1955 No. 1 hit as its opening song.

(2 of the 3 contestants got it right).

Right. They were looking for the show, so you almost slipped up, but you saved yourself parenthetically.

I've been watching Jeopardy since the 1960's and I can't remember an easier Final Jeopardy question than this.

OH Nuts!

I'm not the greatest at Jeopardy, but that question was a gift. I remember watching Happy Days when it first aired as a Sophomore in college.

I'll defend it a little. Of course anything is easy if you know it, but Happy Days is more famously known for the theme starting -Sunday, Monday , Happy Days- so I can see the question being a bit tricky.

Not to mention not everyone watches sitcoms, or the same shows, or TV in general. If you've never watched Happy Days, most likely you wouldn't know the early season's theme song.

I thought it was pretty obvious, I mean I knew it and I was only 5 years old when Happy Days started. I think they only used Rock Around The Clock the first season or two before Happy Days got its own original theme song.

I thought that Final Jeopardy was too easy. I don't know I think Jeopardy is running out of steam, they've pretty much covered everything in any subject that ever was. Because it seems to me it's all the same stuff anymore they just "repackage" it. When Alex retires I hope they end Jeopardy because I'd never watch it with a different host anyways.
