Getting a little overdone.

davemmr

This gameshow was great when I was a kid.   Contestants taking their hard earned money to buy grotesque prizes... it was wonderful.   Now it's getting all a little overdone, like most gameshows nowadays.   The excess graphics and hoopla surrounding the show really doesn't jazz up the game itself, which has become dull ever since they stopped with the shopping segments and when they started giving you R, S, T, L, N, and E automatically.   And is Vanna White even necessary anymore?  She touches the screen!   They can do that automatically.

It's not a bad show - just no fun for me anymore.  It's just another case of a gameshow taking itself way too seriously.  Please bring back the simplicity and fun of the old gameshows!
