Here's my recent big beef with the current run of JEOPARDY!: multiple answers are re-used across all versions of the show (celebrity, regular, champions tournament, invitational tournament, etc).

One example: just today the answer regarding the only x-rated film to win the Best Picture Oscar* was asked for a third time in less than 3 weeks

It's disconcerting to watch and have to wonder, based on the very familliar answers used, whether I'm seeing a rerun or they've finally dumbed-down the show to just a few thousand repeated answers.
