Nice changes. I love the glossy floor. That single change makes the set feel like its \"flashier\" European counterparts.
Those look great. Glad to see they upgraded the graphics on the showcase podiums, too. Very snazzy.
I\'m getting a huge Jeopardy vibe from the Showcase setup and I don\'t know why.
Now that you mention it, it has kind of a \"sushi bar\" set look to it.
I like the changes...pretty slick.
Mike Richards commented something along the lines of that there shouldn\'t be carpet on a game show in 2013. I haven\'t watched Wheel recently, but last I saw they have carpet on the puzzle board stage.
I do like that they put back the Goodson asterick\'s around the doors. I told Roger during a late 2007 visit that the starbursts (or whatever you call them) that were displayed above the doors were hideous. They also at some point just had stars there. I told them they should be dollar signs, and wouldn\'t you know it, they were put there (for however long it was)
Still won\'t watch though.

I was going to ask why but I think your sig answered my question...
Terrific. I think he\'s a tool in 2013.Mike Richards commented something along the lines of that there shouldn\'t be carpet on a game show in 2013.

Maybe he didn\'t like \"shaggy carpet games\" or whatever that cute name was that GSN gave to its \"traditional\" original shows when The Pyramid was premiering???
The new set is pretty nice, and I echo the like for the return of the asterisks. The Showcase podiums before just looked like cardboard cutouts, these ones are an improvement.
And I will still watch, though :-)
Funny thing is that I didn\'t notice the floor until someone brought it up. And I could\'ve sworn some games/set pieces utilize area rugs.

There has been talk that J! is going to have a new set, for Season 30!

Funnily enough, the term was \"Shiny Floor Games\".Maybe he didn\'t like \"shaggy carpet games\" or whatever that cute name was that GSN gave to its \"traditional\" original shows when The Pyramid was premiering?

Ohhhhhhhhhh...

He apparently believes game shows in 2013 should somehow look cheesier and more out-of-date than they did in 1983. The TPIR set doesn\'t look 1970s and it doesn\'t look modern. It\'s just an eyesore.
How was it out of date in 1983?
Hush, man. Childhoods are being ruined!
Wouldn\'t call it an eyesore, but I think they\'re trying to do a little too much. I like the glossy floor and lit steps, but it clashes with the pink and green border. It\'s like they want to modernize the show and maintain the original 1972 elements...in that regard, it doesn\'t work as well. You call one thing outdated, and keep another outdated element.
I got a chance to see the set in person, and it looks really good. The showcase podiums in particular look better to me. Overall, I can\'t find anything to complain about.

Ha! My point is, they\'re apparently going for a retro vibe, but if you plopped the current set in 1983 (or 1972) it would look hideous and tacky then, too. The original frames around the big doors, for example, were a nice piece of design. There was restraint with color and with the flashing lights. Back then, yes, they had the Goody-Toddy asterisks, but they didn\'t just vomit them all over.
That was an excellent way to not answer the question. How was the set out of date in 1983? Perhaps your modifier was misplaced, but that\'s on you and not me.
The patterns on the big doors and the color scheme were both looking dated by then.
If I recall, 1983 was when the turntable walls had a more \"plush\" look with the purple, red, and orange pattern. They replaced the flat orange and red pattern from 1982, and the lights were also removed by then, so if anything, that set was a gradual update, and for me removing the lights was a good call. Then, a year later, for some odd reason, they made contestant\'s row hot pink and then thankfully changed it back to green by \'85.
