But he was only doing his job hosting the show. I, for one, am a big fan of TTD 90. So theres no need for all the negative comments about Patrick Wayne.
I'm just throwing in my two cents because I am sure there are other people around here who like TTD 90 and the host. [/quote]
The show and the host was terrible. There was very little good about it. To me it is the second worst game show ever made (Camoflauge coming in first).

And a lot of the questions back in the Wink days of "TTD" were almost as bad. B&E shows were notorious from crux and overstuff in their questions instead of crux and fill. All the better for Richard Kline's extended extreme close-ups of the contestants' faces. (And I'm sorry, but I always felt that for every one of the wipes, inserts and split screens Kline did that worked, there were three that were overkill. The funny thing is that he stopped doing all that when he became his own producer, which make me wonder if all of the hyperactivity with the wipes was more Dan Enright's idea.)

Maybe so, because I have seen clips of the original Twenty-One from the late 1950's with Herb Stempel vs. Charles Van Doren, where they showed a split-screen of the two as Jack Barry was asking them if either wanted to stop the game, which Van Doren did to win.

Now that you mention it, I would almost think the same. I noticed on many late syndie eps. of TJW where they would do a flashy wipe going into a question, and then another one coming out of that question. I'd take a shot and say that since some of the Barry-Enright sets were fairly high-tech themselves, they should have a graphics package to match, i.e. Bullseye, second TJW set.

When he lost, I'm surprised he didn't turn to his opponent and say: "You wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin"

I seem to remember a Jim Caldwell TTD where the camera zoomed in further on the center box with each tick of the timer during the think music. Slightly laughable. But that was after Kline left.
