Just as many were "up in arms" last year about Drew taking over the show, I'm taking a "wait & see" attitude.
I watched the very first show back on Labor Day 1972, 2 days before I started Kindergarten.
I'm 41 now, and I guess I'm in what is known as "middle age" syndrome. Game shows once had a very big allure for me. Now, not so much I guess. I do care about the show, but I do not live and die with it any longer as I did in my younger years. Likewise with sports and sports teams.
I will be curious to see what changes the show makes, but I must confess I am not very confident about the future of this program, or game shows as a whole any longer. Jeopardy has added bells & whistles a bit, but overall I seldom watch the program. Wheel of Fortune I used to watch more in the 80s & 90s, but I'll watch the first day or week's worth of programs to see what changes they made.
I even hosted online games briefly, for about a year, and it was ok, but very slow moving. I'd prefer to host my own live action game. I guess because I work during the daytime now, and am not home much anymore during the day, I don't miss game shows. I do miss those times though when game shows were on often in the 80s and 90s. I've become somewhat nostalgic over the 70s, 80s, and even the 90s somewhat now. But life goes on and I feel badly for Roger more than all of us. Knowing Roger, he feels badly for us, the fans. Let's see where this goes. Good or bad, we game show fans are in this together.
Regards,
Bill
