It sounds a lot like a detective show theme song from the 70s.

Wouldn't hurt for ABC's promo department to dial back on the kinetic typography.
"I just wanna give a shoutout to my homies in their late-30s who are watching this on Paramount+ right now, cause they couldn't stay up late enough to watch it live!"

Now celebrating his 21st season on GSF!

Gee, what is with the ABC games and their phoned-in MIDI versions of the themes? M'eh.

Nonetheless, nice lineup of stars!

So worse than the WOF theme we have now as it is?

You sure it's different? I can't tell the difference.

There's some different instrumentation. I'm inclined to believe that this was a different mix that was already recorded and just decided to use this one because it sounded more posh.
This signature is currently under construction.

Tell you what, Twitter has been on fire the last couple days over the whole Ken Jennings/Bean Dad thing, and looking at posts about the new Celebrity WoF, the Twitterverse isn't exactly going easy on Sajak either.

I thought about modifying my original reply with an "I see what you did there" type message, assuming Blanquepage was being sarcastic about how bland and nondescript the Wheel theme is now in general.

...No, no sarcasm. I'm referring actually to how the ABC versions of classic games take the themes with real instruments and turn them into make these half-baked synthed-up renditions. At least the regular 'Wheel' theme has real percussions and horns.   :-\

Bumping as Deadline has reported that it (and Supermarket Sweep) got renewed for a second season.
