Does Watching Jeopardy Count?

It's so much easier to plop in front of the television each day than to take upon a more rigorous intellectual endeavor. Of course, I knew this going in. So I wonder, does watching Jeopardy count? The final question (the daily double, maybe?) was something like there's a three-letter suffix in French composed of three vowels, and those three vowels sound like another vowel. The answer is eau. I learned something. But nothing useful.
