In most cases, I'd probably agree with you; however, you have to keep in mind that nearly all of Penny Ante's charm comes from its set. If you take that away, frankly, you're left with a pretty crappy game.

Along similar lines, Pick A Pair, IMO, lost its appeal when the ferris wheel set was scrapped for a less than stellar setup it is today. I know the Ferris Wheel was a little slow, and you couldn't see every product at once, but it was still pretty cool.
Here's how I think Penny Ante could work, and the setup would still be cool.
Make the Penny Ante game look like some sort of vending machine. Each side of the machine has 4 prices. Bob asks the player the price, and hits the button. If it's wrong, the player must put a penny into the coin slot to try again. If it's right, perhaps some cool lighting effect would appear on the machine.

I simply don't believe that Newton is doing that badly. I don't buy it. Maybe the guy has a grudge against him for some reason?
And Chris is right. Showbiz is [Dick Clark, Winning Lines mode] where it really gets cutthroat. [/DC, WLM]

Maybe it'll be like "Barker's Markers", where Bob gives the contestant $500 off the bat, then have them give it back if they want to make changes. (Though with "Time Is Money", they'll still have the option to walk away with $500.)

That's pretty much it... like Switcheroo.
The 15 seconds has expanded to 20 and there have been a 1 or 2 minor changes to the set piece for greater clarity on the number of items correct, and to better show the products.
