I understand nixing the point system, but that big of change may turn off some viewers (and if this show’s really trying to go retro, it’s just going to make things worse). And as much as I like your version of the scoring system, they may not be able to fit all those rounds in unless they shrink the answer count or quicken the pace, which I don’t think is likely. One single too many for me.

And the only reason I think they’re not giving more money away is because they’re not that profitable of a show. Once again, though, I’m hoping for the best, and they at least try a little modernization instead of trying to emulate the Dawson era.

Ix-nay to Bullseye. It just eats up too much time in a 30-minute slot. It would be fine if they make an hour-long version.

As for the bonus round, I wouldn’t mind the consolation prize going to $10 a point. $20 a point sounds a bit excessive, even though it follows the pattern. The top prize is 4x larger, after all.

I think the best bonus round belongs to Family Fortunes. The Fast Money prize is $10K, but getting all five top answers makes it $30K. Since ours starts at $20K, just doubling it to $40K would be fine for me.

I don’t like the bonus round of Bert’s Feud, besides the awful all-or-nothing format. When someone does well in the first half, they play for more money. Fine. The problem is that when teams play for the top two prizes, they are already sooooo close (or there), that it’s a foregone conclusion that they’ll win. It sucks out all the drama. Also, the variable top prize is too complicated for what it’s worth.

And as for the new scoring system, I like that format, but with so many low-scoring surveys, it may drag the game along too much. Maybe two singles, two doubles and the triple, if necessary. And stay with the “first-to-300″ theme–if the players play very well, and time runs out before the triple can be played, I find it a but of a downer to end it just because one team is winning by a few points beyond the teams’ control.

1) Go back to the Bullseye format ($5K-$10K-$15K-$20K-$25K) and have them start with $25K a piece. Possible $100K payout right there.

2) Use the Combs set and theme. Combs did a great job, and I like him.

3) I agree with the no “Paris Hilton” thing. Just go to the basic questions like “Name the month when you can tell someone is pregnant” (and hope nobody says “September”).

4) For Fast Money, play for the jackpot set in the Bullseye round [if they get 200 points] or $10 a point.

5) First family to 200 points wins the US equivalent of 5000 pesos [just like in the Mexican version] and plays Fast Money.

No Sudden Death (leave it to the ol days of Bullseye)

Have The Team Reach 200 Points in Fast Money.

With The Bert’s Family Feud Board Motive but with “Syndicated” amounts of money-

5 TOP ANSWERS-$50,000
4 TOP ANSWERS-$25,000
3 TOP ANSWERS-$20,000
2 TOP ANSWERS-$15,000
1 TOP ANSWER-$10,000
0 TOP ANSWER-$5,000

—

If They Fail To Reach 200, offer them $10 a point, + $500 for each “Top Answer”

—

And finally, no more “Name something Paris Hilton will miss when she is going to jail” questions.

This is not 1 vs 100, we can keep the pop culture out of it.

I can’t believe all the people who want the “older” set back. I like the sets we’ve had recently, Family Fortunes lookalikes or not. Why is it a crime for things to be modern in game show world nowadays? I mean, for a genre most worried about capturing the right demographics, I don’t see how appealing to nostalgia with a light blue on baby sick orange on crap brown set will help. I hated when they used the Combs theme for Karn Feud, but I wouldn’t mind them changing the theme since we’ve had the same one for EIGHT series, now.

I just hope the show doesn’t stagnate like Price is Right, where nothing changes except the host’s hair color.

Also, doubling the Fast Money to $10x on a loss would a GOOD idea (They can afford it, the greedy little turkeys)
