I know of no way to watch the original episodes of Jeopardy and don't believe it is possible as according to Wikipedia only a small number of the 2,753 episodes from the original NBC Daytime version survive, mostly as black-and-white kinescopes of the original color videotapes. A link to the Jeopardy Wikipedia has been added to the related links and a section deals with the Alex Trebek episodes from 1984 to the present.
