"The little things" you miss on shows

That was always a nice touch during 80s Jeopardy! Seeing the camera zoom out to a full shot of the set as the background changed from blue to red before the bumper graphic turned up…I liked how they basically said that things are gonna be a bit different, a bit more serious.
Ken has made a lot of excellent points in that article. While I wish they brought back the “Now entering the studio” sequence, I do understand why they dispensed with it. His other point…are they really that tight on time that they can’t spare 5 or 10 seconds for simply that? Not asking to be salty; I’m just curious if they have some wiggle room to spare.

How many times in an average episode does the host embellish some extra factoid or general comment after the correct answer ("question") has been given? Elimination of those few seconds could open up time for some of the things Ken says he misses.
And so what if a board isn't cleared? The remaining unseen "answers" can be used in a future Potporri category!

I'm sure that's very comforting to the three contestants who didn't get a chance to earn money from them.

Count me as one who thinks the old board sound effect should NOT come back.
It was lovely, and it's nostalgic, but it was part of a futuristic, hi-tech motif that was abandoned twenty-five years ago. On today's fresh modern set, it would sound dated. The new version is a better fit for what they're doing these days.

I don't disagree, but the Daily Double sound also feels like what the future might've sounded like in 1984. Although the current board fill-in SFX fits better in 2022 - and is a nice update to the original - are they really saving that much time? What's one or two seconds?
