To answer the last two posts, yes, the set always turned to red for Fast Money. Second, I'm not saying FF94 didn't seem too downsized in places...that's why I can't hold it in *that* high of regards despite calling it decent. That and what became of Ray Combs as a result of his being sacked...pleasant memories of the "Junior Badseed" rallies from ATGS ;-)
But yeah, despite there being more right to FF94 than I originally thought, you couldn't help but notice the changes. There were the teams size, the payoffs (yeah, yeah...$1,000,000 You're In The Picture), and that animated superimposed board. With the latter, would always using the FM board have been THAT worse? I know Family Fortunes and 100 Mexicanos Dijeron were all-electronic boards, and they do fine. (yeah, 100MD's is much more state of the art too :-))
I've mellowed a bit on the set, but still miss the Feud Classic style set. I wonder if they ever thought of not changing anything, based on that one promo picture of Richard in front of a fascimile Combs-era logo.
