[quote name=\'Jimmy Owen\' date=\'Jun 9 2005, 07:43 PM\']We're close to thirty years since TBS left the air and I have always hoped this show would return.
It's almost perfect as it is, but I'd like to propose a change to the bonus round. For every day a champ returns another side of the die is covered with a Show and Down, so it becomes easier to win the $10,000 if one stays on long enough. With a five-day champ limit, the win is almost assured. The modifications to the dice would be for the first roll only.
In the timed round, I'd change the rules so that a Show and Down would be worth $1,000 and the player could return the next day rather than having to retire with $5,000.

How I'd bring back TBS' bonus game...
\ On the free roll, "ShowDown" pays $50,000 (or maybe 100-grand...depends on how much is in the prize budget).
\ If no "ShowDown", the total number rolled becomes the payoff point. Then, the champ gets 10 more chances (as opposed to timing this part of the game for 30 seconds) to roll "ShowDown", which at this point is worth $20,000. Matching the payoff point is worth $1000 and an extra roll of the dice.
...plus, I'd tweak the main game slightly. Instead of the same six categories for the first round and another six for the second, I'd throw in a slight dose of WBSM. In other words, once a category is played, it's replaced immediately with a new one.
When a new round starts, a new payoff point is set or all three players miss a particular question, the game "defaults" to the 1-point category -- which would also be worth control of the board.
Finally, instead of a spinner determining the payoff for hitting the payoff point in the main game, it should be determined by a pair of regular dice (with sixes on these cubes). The total value rolled is multiplied by either $100 or $250 (again, depending on the budget).
