Actually, since the wheel is played twice per day, while Punchboard and Grand Game show up at most once every week or so, I’d rather see the extra money go to the Big Wheel.

Also, if there’s a game that needs updating, it’s Clock Game. They need to change the bonus to $5K or $10K for winning, so that it’s not the cheapest of all the games out there.

2008 looks to be the year of the game show, with changes to Millionaire, Wheel of Fortune having contestants play for $1 million, and the bonus spin spin prize changes. Not to mention to arrival of Trivial Pursuit and daytime Deal or No Deal, and I’m not getting started on GSN. It’s a great year to be a game show fan.

WOW! That is a lot to follow! But, this is an exciting, as well as very anxious, time to be a game show fan. Still, it’s a lot fun, isn’t it?

Well so far with the exception of the time limit on WWTBAM I am “Cautiously Optimistic”.

I knew fremantle wouldn’t mess with the format of a classic and the changes they are going to make to the set I’m sure will be a welcome change. I’m also happy that they are increasing the winning amounts for the showcase showdown. It’s been a long time coming.

I realize that the $1,000,000 wedge in wheel is more of a gimmick but it still works. I’d say someone will win it once every six to twelve months.

Actually, Alex, the season premiere of Price HASN’T been taped yet.

I heard the “painting” of the wheel on Price was an accident and was going to be painted back to it’s previous look soon. Who knows the truth to that rumour…
