Scott Storey did all those sets, and the square tile look was evocative of the telephone touch pad that home viewers were to use for the playalong \"playbreaks\".[/quote]
It's been 9 years, but the sets for Boggle, Jumble, and Shuffle looked almost identical. I believe all three had tile backdrops, arranged at a simple right angle, with Boggle adding oversized tiles and a telephone keypad. Were those actually the same set/backdrop, with the podia and cameras put at different angles for each show? [/quote]
The sets for those 3 shows never existed simultaneously; we taped all of B, then moved on to S, and then all of J. The pieces were reused liberally in the creation of the next set(s), and we tried to change the \"look\" as much as possible within the confines of the cable budget. That included rearranging the studio so far as to shoot east to west on two shows, and west to east on the other.
I remember arriving on the first days of S and J with the feeling that while the sets looked completely different, there was also a strange deja vu about the whole thing. The best I can recall, the podia were re-dressed and the set pieces re-worked and re-lit with different colors to create as much of a new look as possible with 75% or so of the same set.
