I liked the intro they used with Johnny/Henry/Dean talking over the doot, doot, doot, "This is the Winner's Circle...", etc.
It was a kinda sorta throwback to Bob Clayton's "Keep your eye on this spot".
Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Never a fan of winner-clip montage openings, I really liked this.
Disagree - I loved the winner-clip openings - what other shows did that? Not many.
Off the top of my head, "Big Showdown", Wink's "High Rollers", and "Wipeout". "Every Second Counts" showed silent clips of winning couples.
For winners AND losers there's PYL and quite a few runs of LMaD...
As for Davidson's 100K, I would say the intro was quite cool. However, even had someone other than Davidson or Clark hosted, I felt the show was missing something...even watching as a kid. It kinda felt thrown together.
