Jeopardy is one of the few TV shows that I watch regularly. Though I used to watch it before, I got really hooked on to it after I watched Ken Jennings on his first show - I felt that he was going to stay on TV for a while and he sure did; I enjoyed all his 75 appearances. His memory is simply amazing!
The other quiz show I watched for a while is Cash Cab. I liked it because it is a novel concept (take the show to the audience, rather than taking audience into a studio), Ben Bailey is a fun guy, the questions are very easy, the setting is very informal, and it is fun to watch the (great American) spirit of the riders.
Here are samplers on Ken Jennings (not Jeopardy) and Cash Cab.
I realize that it is hard to remember even easiest of things under extreme pressure, but I expected a stronger performance from both contestants in the second round. Had they studied Vedic Mathematics, they probably would have nailed answers to questions like "what is 45 times 45?" within fraction of a second. Of course, it is hard to know everything; hats of to these geniuses.

I liked your idea on Vedic Mathematics. Here is a website which you can refer for it.
