Another "Concentration" question. . . did NBC even debate the notion of updating its longest running game before they axed it? A new set, some new music and a bonus round--essentially what G-T did--seems like that would have put ol' "Joker's Wild" in its place and would have spared the world "Winning Streak."

Actually, when the show got the axe, the set had been changed fairly recently (like within a year or two), and if I remember correctly, they had freshened the music, too.
Now that computer graphics are so much better, I'd love to see Concentration return. Never did feel quite comfortable with the Trebek version. It seemed really cheesy -- although the rebuses were beautifully done. Since the board is the focal point of the entire game, though, it was unsettling to see a shot of the whole stage, and see no sign of a board!
Nowadays a big, hi-def, digital screen would do nicely to display the board.
