Pyramid serves the perfect example that less can be more. While I can deal with the rule changes that are different from the classic versions, I cannot stand the camera shots.
One thing that I was taught during my time in production class is that you have a reason for everything. The constant cuts to closeups of the active team are unnecessary and defeats the purpose of the score screens on the teams' tables (as was said earlier). The Winner's Circle has also lost its flavor as well because of bad writing, overused camera shots, and bland music replacing the (more tense and suspense-filled) ticking clock. The Big Pyramid is very impressive. However, when you show off how many cameras that the set has, the Pyramid means jack squat.
I am all for change, but what I have been seeing in the last year is ridiculous.
