I actually did like his Card Sharks set from '86. Then again, I've always been partial to that version, having grown up watching it...

I always thought that set was incomplete, like they built the main areas of the set and said "Aw, screw it. We're done." And then taking out the only cool thing about it (the tilting cards) really diminished its look. Did he also design the Body Language set too? If so, check off another one.

EDIT: Jack Hart designed BL's set.

And also the set for Super Password, which I liked very much.

I always felt that set and the "arena" feel was well-suited for the type of gameplay on Body Language.

Did Roof design the entire Password Plus set or just the puzzle board?

I recall Bente Christensen designing it [ETA: IMDb confirms]. Dennis may have assisted [Mr. Clementson??].

P.S.---I prefer the Caldwell set.

Mula left to go work on a Kline and Friends show. It probably would have been too awkward for him to work for two rivals.
Would that have been Rayburn/Farago's Break the Bank? That was at the back of my mind.

Break the Bank was the show he did for Kline & Friends, Yes.

I believe I've also seen Mula's name in the credits for Strike it Rich and Win, Lose, or Draw.

I've seen Rene Lagler for art directing on Strike it Rich. But yes, Mula appeared for Win, Lose, or Draw.

Keeping with the K&F family, I believe Mula did both versions of Pictionary, and Masters of the Maze. However, he also did TJW90 for Jack Barry Productions, and Kevin Pfieffer did the TTD90 set for B&E.

Wait... the original set was built to remain assembled?  How'd that work if it was originally sharing stage space at TV City?

I'm just going off of what was told to me, from a former B&E staffer. Perhaps it could roll in and out, but not be subject to constant dismantling.

Did B&E use the exact set from the CBS run on the syndicated version?  ISTR hearing somewhere that they built a "new" set for the beginning of the syndie run.  

It would make sense where they shot the syndie eps. post-TV City (KCOP?) that they wouldn't have to build/tear down as much, or did TTD & Joker share the same studio?

All I've heard is that KCOP had a single studio----TTD not only shared its studio with TJW, but also the newscasts....

I remember reading a story (I think here) about KCOP doing a telethon in the mid-to-late-80s, and inside the studio, off to the side, was the TTD board...

It was the same set, and the same studio at CBS until 1980. The only changes to the set from CBS to syndie, was the facade on the contestant podium, and the software on the gameboard according to the format.
