Staging problems...

[Craig Karlberg]

Not only that, but the interviews are conducted from left to right beginning with the 1st toss-up winner(if no winner, interviews start with the red player based on player positions).  That's why I change the channel after seeing the first toss-up that's practically irrelevant to start with.

I issue, I believe, according to Harry and the producers, was to increase the number of puzzles per show....since you realistically can't spin and win 7-8 traditional puzzles in a half hour, the tossups are an easier way time wise to add some play at home value...

It's much better than the other idea they did for a while there, showing a part of a puzzle before the intro, and having Pat announce the answer at the beginning...

I was in error--my apologies. (I really don't remember that, though.)

You know, I'd much rather see more regular gameplay than more puzzles.  I'd like to see the time wasted on the Toss-Ups go toward actually playing a little bit of the fourth puzzle before the Speed-Up Round starts.

Why don't they just dipense with the wheel altogether and do Toss-Up rounds only? We've seen what switching to all-Quickies format did for Tattletales.

Personally I wouldn't mind if they got rid of her. IMHO, they should have gotten rid of her the moment they trotted out the electronic board.

But, for better or worse, Vanna is as much the star of WOF as Pat is (they don't co-bill 'em for nothing). Besides, who would host the [sarcasm]wonderful[/sarcasm] console game for the PS3?

If that were to happen, I know who would be FIRST in line.....

[Steve Gavazzi]

...and probably last in line at the same time.

Yeah...it actually reduced the number of questions per show!

and yet, the pacing picked up!

4 questions, each played 3 times (by each couple)....

what was the outcome for the original version....a lot more time spent on just one couple, whomever was fastest on the buzzer....not as much game time...
