The show airs at 8pm, "prime time". The clues are amusing if not meant to have sexual implications. I don't know that I like them, or hate them. I guess I considered Lingo a "family" show, although there were times when Chuck & Shandi would talk and it wasn't necessarily vulgar, but ..oh heck it's 3:22am I had 5 hours of sleep, I don't know what the heck I'm trying to say!!!
I do like that they earn DOLLARS instead of piddily points now. I dislike that the losing team's money score reduces to $0. The show has a top prize of $100,000 (which seems to be virtually impossible to win, especially in 90 seconds no less). They couldn't give those 2 ladies that $300 to split for their effort?!?! C'mon!!!!
I agree with one of the previous posters, that not having a final LINGO card in the Bonus Game makes it seem almost pointless to call the game "LINGO". While I like the larger balls, it's somewhat easier to see or read the numbers, I hate that one player has to walk over to the "board" to pull them off.
Overall the show was okay, but I guess I grew accustomed to Chuck Woolery's version. I like certain things about the new version better, but it may take some time to grow on me. Usually I'm asleep around 7 or 730pm, so I don't know that I'll make watching this at 8pm "appointment TV" every night.
I forgot to mention the fact that I like very much the fact that the 10 "free balls" that used to get marked off on the old show are already marked off now when the board loads during the main game.
