Oh, how catchy that theme song is when it's experienced live. Well, maybe not. But it's still fun to attend a free taping of this classic show on the Sony lot.

Trademarked as "America's Favorite Quiz Show" (take that, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"), "Jeopardy!" was created by TV impresario Merv Griffin ("Wheel of Fortune") in the 1960s. But the show didn't really get rolling until Alex Trebek come on board as host in 1984. Since then, the show has become one of the top-rated programs of all time. Fans have stuck around through Trebek's mustache shaving, special editions (see "Celebrity Jeopardy!," "Jeopardy! Teen Tournament" and "Jeopardy! College Championship") and Ken Jennings' irritating winning streak. And while playing at home is always fun, nothing beats pretending to know the answers (er, questions) in person. —Elisa Jacobs
