Still Fun, Trying a Little Too Hard & where is Allen Ludden Tribute?
11 August 2022
I know it must have freaked producers out that there would be a show with people sitting behind a desk for an hour, but the audience can handle that without the manic energy that seems forced here. Excited people are great, but it can relax after a moment and just be a normal energy. That goes for the editing too... I was getting dizzy as the shot changed up like once every 5 seconds needlessly... just film it, doesn't have to switch so often. Finally, the show was Allan Ludden's and if it wasn't for Jimmy Fallon saying it he would have completely been cut out of mentions or tributes. I loved Betty White and I know she's fresh in our minds, but it was Allen's show and not to show him seems like the producers don't share the same love of the original as the audience does. There was also super password with Bert Convy which could also be given a nod. Tradition and keeping a steady pace aren't anti-new... it's important to keep that connection to the past and move forward. The set and love for the game is there & with a little tweaking this could be a fun new chapter.
