Yeah, I’d get rid of that.
Long live Jeopardy:
Lynne Thigpen was a much better host for the Carmen Sandiego shows than Greg Lee and Kevin Shinick were.
Who Knows You Best? was a severely underrated 2000-01 Lifetime game show that deserved a longer run.
My favorite version of Let's Make a Deal was the 1984-86 version.

I thought of an idea with dollar amounts on the board, which could be cooler and more apropos than 1 to 5. Going down each category, imagine it’s $200, $500, $1000, $1300 and $2000. You’d only win the money pegged to your five boxes in a row. Sweep a category, it’s $5000. If one’s ambitious, the bottom row is there for $10,000.

One, those dollar value jumps are atrocious and seems like the kind of thing one says online to farm engagement.
Two, there are going to be a ton of confused viewers who will wonder why the show is paying the contestant $600 after losing the bonus round, but getting four of the $2,000 boxes correct.

Keke Palmer would be a PHENOMENAL Chief if PBS could ever afford to do that show again.
