Hello everyone!
Many game shows have flaws...some obvious, some that takes a while to notice. When the corrections are made, few of them are met with resounding success.
That is the focus of this topic. Which game shows do you believe had a flawed format which, when corrected, was met with success?
If you are confused with the question (and justifiably so), allow me to lend an example. Many of us have raised the issue of the NBC version of $ale of the Century's Shopping Round where the cash jackpot was a stand-alone prize. (The problem may have not been with the prize itself, but with where it was placed.) Once the cash jackpot was reached, all but one decided to take the money and run (that one, as we all know, was Babara Phillips.) That was the flaw: no one was willing to put his or her money on the table in order to add prizes that, at times, totaled less than the jackpot. (Thanks to Chuck Donegan for raising this issue in an earlier thread.)
The correction: the Syndie version of the Shopping Round was formatted where the cash jackpot could only be won as part of "The Lot."
So with that, I leave the rest to all of you. Thanks in advance for the responses!
