I went to the first taping Friday. I posted a longer review on Facebook, but let's just say that...

 
Although the only thing we've seen is the logo (and host), that tells me it's getting the same (good) treatment as the other revivals that have preceded it - same formulas that made the show great, but made to fit into the 21st century.

Can you share here for those that can’t see your Facebook review?

From reading the same thing I'm not exactly whelmed. It doesn't read like the game's the thing but I'm not the laser-focused hyper-narrow target they're after either.

If you're gonna be a prick about it, you'd think you'd at least try to be gramatically correct...

Umm...okay?

Don't see where I was grammatically deficient there but not gonna belabor it.

Survey questions like the old version.  Call 10 cards (instead of the old 5) to win the game, $10K, and play the Money Cards with it for a chance at over $500,000.

My friend who attended the first taping on Friday said he had to wear a suit and tie and that the set is designed like a casino. Joel McHale talks to the audience. The first taping took about 2 and 1/2 hours. It's being taped at one of the newer studios at CBS Television City. So far everything I've read and heard is mostly positive.

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the push counting as a loss. IMO, it should be just that, a push. No money won, no money lost. To me, getting down to the 6th card, betting it all on "Lower than an Ace", only to see another Ace and "Bust" is not a good look.

Then again, I guess it gives the show more of a gambling element...
