And I echo the others who said the bonus round is unnecessary. I always found it to be too much like Deal or No Deal and would rather just have two self-contained shows where the high score wins.

This I completely disagree with. PYL with a bonus round gives the main game the strategy it needs if you don't have returning champions. Do you keep spinning, knowing the odds of you catching up in 1 or 2 spins is small, or do you pass and leave fate in the hands of your opponent in order to get to the bonus game where you can make even more money? I agree that it's largely PYDOND, but it's there for a good reason. That being said, it's time they mix it up again, it's become a bit stale.

Remember how I mentioned about the "Bumper Stumpers" music and how annoying it is? The cue they play for the audience game is right up there with it.

I wouldn't rank it as one of my top favorite themes, but I rather liked the Bumper Stumpers theme. Even thought the intro with the lively piccolo (I think?) that leads up to the more familiar "honky" part was cute too.
Joker's Wild '90, now THAT theme's annoying. Same 10-ish seconds on infinite loop, blah.

Brevity is the soul of wit.
I like the Bumper Stumpers theme, though it wasn't terribly complex and can easily be replicated on my drive home on the interstate.
Maybe not a sizzling hot take but Keynotes and the Peter Allen Name That Tune are two of my favorite unsold pilots, and that's coming from someone who has little interest in music.

Bumper Stumpers has grown on me as well. That's a show format that should've been rebooted somewhere as I think the use of personalized license plates with letters and numb3rs is at an all time high -- at least in my neck of the woods.
I wasn't as much as a fan of the show back there as the theme, the plumber's set and the "avoid the stop sign" bonus game made it look a little too corny.

I liked Temptation '68 (even with what few episodes exist), and that should've been the Temptation we had in 2007 (mostly because we didn't get the Temptation we wanted).
