What's wrong with a complete overhaul set, and everything of TPIR?
Wow, what a naive question. This is Fremantle, folks:

Well, not just Fremantle. It's Fremantle ^ S.V.

This is only partially tongue-in-cheek: isn't it possible in this day and age to green screen every single part of the show?

Sure, it was possible when they began.  Remember when they would key in a picture on those Muntz big screen TV's.  But it's such an old technology. Why don't they bring back the paper credit roll?   If it's a cost problem, maybe they could get Best Buy to exchange a video wall for promotional consideration. Even the small town stores have 'em.

I'll keep making this point until I'm blue in the face:

Shut off the music, fire the models, paint the set gray, hire some Bingo caller as emcee for $60,000 per year, use pictures of all the prizes. You've saved millions but what kind of show do you have left? Answer: the USSR version.

They could have used chroma-key 36 years ago but didn't for a reason. So could LMAD. They've always wanted contestants to see actual prizes, not pictures of prizes. [/quote]So what do you call the trip skins, then?

That's not naive, it's just plain dumb. How do you fit the Eiffel tower into studio 33*? Answer: you don't. You use drops and B-roll.

*I shall forever refuse to call it the B-- B----- studio.

Something else that came to mind:

I know it's not exactly the same, but wasn't the answer board during the 1994-95 season of Feud actually a graphic superimposed onto the digital board, which was what the studio contestants saw?

Again, not totally the same, but I remember sloppy work being done on Feud (revealing the digital board beneath the graphic) that I hope doesn't get duplicated here...

The tech wasn't ready for prime time. Look at a football broadcast for an idea of how far keying technology has come.

Anybody remember VH1's "My Generation" music game show? Their entire set was virtually one huge green screen.
[/quote]
And it looked completely cheesy on TV, and I don't mean Supermarket Sweep or Wink's Tic Tac Dough Velveeta cheesy.

Either pony up the money for a real set, with backdrops, monitors and desks or don't do the show. The interactive text message shows, fine. An actual game show? No.

Ironically, I can't stand the amount of keying technology being done on some of the football broadcasts.  There's something about it that I find almost physically uncomfortable to watch.  One of the networks (I think ESPN) had a down-and-distance indicator keyed on the screen such that it was under one of the offensive linemen, and it was that part of the screen that was irritating my eyes.

By the same token, I can't stand the ChromaKey ads that are in basbeall games now, either.  Something about the outline of the batter's body and bat against the green background bothers my eyes.  That, and those GD backlit ads along the boards in certain hockey arenas.

[quote name=\'ClockGameJohn\' post=\'197515\' date=\'Sep 17 2008, 06:37 PM\']Oh, and the green screen has already escalated to more than just trips now.[/quote]How has this statement flown so far under the radar? What other purposes do you mean? Like the Showcases? IUFB backgrounds? I remember there being scuttlebutt about just having pictures of the motorhomes, cabin cruisers and other bulky items meant behind the doors.
