Title: Subtle changes on Dawson FF...
Post by: ChuckNet on June 19, 2003, 12:53:38 AM
Interesting on the aspects which changed from week to week...

For the premiere week, the credits were red, then they changed to orange for week 2, and they're now white.

Also, starting w/the 2nd wk, they began repeating the first part of the closing theme to keep it from running out, as actually happened on the 2nd ep.

Originally, the credits began w/an ECU of the carpet for the fee plug and wardrobe mentions, w/a gradual pullback to show the entire set for the G-T logo...they kept that for the 3rd wk, but switched to an ECU of the winning fam's backdrop.

Finally, if the game was won w/only 3 questions, they'd introduce a new family after Fast Money to fill up the leftover time...this practice was gone by week 3.

Anything else I missed?

Some camera angles, espicially those in Fast Money seemed a bit obscure in the beginning as well.

 I actually caught that at some point last week. I haven't seen it that much since last Wednesday. Were they ever in a situation where the new family was introduced and they actually had time to play the first question? I recall someone mentioning on the ezboard that the producers may have originally intended to have games straddle.

No, they never straddled a game on Feud, even in the earliest weeks.

 Actually, Dawson did kiss a female: on the very first show, he smooched Shirley Moseley on the hand.

 Ok, what's an ECU? Also, will the orange box/purple background FM clock seen in the MOGSM special be seen anytime soon?
