I don't like the new "music" on Jeopardy (CORRECTION: on Wheel of Fortune!)

[Rorey]

I don't understand why they thought they needed to change it.

Edit: I meant on Wheel of Fortune. I've had a long week already.

1. Sucks for you, but one thing you can count on.....

things change.

[Rorey]

4. Well, it's just ruining my life

It's not that big of a deal, and I'll get used to it, but they should have saved their time and money and left it the same. IMO, of course.

(First world problem, I know.)

9. But....it pissed you off enough to post a thread.

Thanks, otherwise I couldn't have posted my first comment. backatcha.

[Rorey]

17. I can be petty sometimes

It usually passes quickly.

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. The stream of consciousness excuse, I see.

Hope you don-t live in Texas....they are on to that.

[Rorey]

21. I am happily deeply rooted in Colorado

I love it here!

22. Being in a high place is a good thing.

2. That's nothing...

The new music is great compared to the "new host"....

At least Johnny Cab will be gone after 3 more episodes.

[Rorey]

5. Your post made me realize I wasn't even watching Jeopardy yet

He only recorded for one day, I think, so we should be rid of him soon.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

8. Yep...

One taping day, 5 episodes... So 2 down, 3 to go.

5 too many, but, still.. Salvation is on its way.

6. I liked his neutral hosting style.

Yes, he has to go, but Jeopardy needs a host who lets.the contestants and material shine, not some overly-mugging, camera-hog celebrity.

Now, Matt Amodio needs to go. .I forgot how annoying he was. He was even worse than usual last night, counting out the syllables in that one category on his fingers.

[Rorey]

11. Matt seems a little arrogant most of the time

I'm trying to like him. He's probably going to be on for a long time. He's apparently got one of those brains that retains everything.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

12. There were better.

I mean, his hosting style was okay... But not worth the bigotry and baggage. It's not like we were seeing the second coming of Bill Cullen or Tom Kennedy or... Alex. Just an okay glory-seeking host. So not worth all the baggage he came with.

Sony blew it. And only 3 more episodes to endure.

[Rorey]

15. Being a "yuck" was his undoing

Hopefully he really did learn that his behavior wasn't acceptable.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

16. He won't learn..

"I'm sorry for being a distraction"... Maybe one step above "I'm sorry you were offended." In other words, a total Qepublican apology.

[Rorey]

18. Good point

I always want to believe that consequences will matter, but often they don't.

19. I didn't think Richards was "neutral" at all.

His original episodes aired before I heard about any of the stuff that ultimately brought him down. I thought he had negative charisma and an empathy deficit. During the contestant interviews, his demeanor was totally bored, edging on downright rude.

[LisaM]

23. They should never have had all those celebrities.

That was a big fail. It's like when chefs have celebrities on cooking shows. They never finish cooking the dish because they ball wink and joke and turn the attention on themselves (Charles Grodin did a brilliant send up of that on talk shows).

So perhaps it's damning with faint praise, but I really did prefer his style and pacing.

Now we'll be stuck with Mayim and her knowing chortle for weeks.

I still stand by my original choice - Ted Allen from 'Chopped'. Affable, smart, doesn't overshadow the contestants, and I owe how to host.

[musette_sf]

24. Well, I much preferred Mayim Bialik to Mike Richards.

Personally, I liked Aaron Rodgers the best of all the guest hosts. I'm not a big football fan, so I knew very little about him before his guest stint.

[LisaM]

25. I am a big football fan and I don't like him.

And Mayim Bialik is an anti-vaxxer. I mean, if we are going to judge hosts on things not related to Jeopardy!

[LisaM]

3. Wheel of Fortune sounded weird, too.

It's not that it changed, it seemed bland.

[Rorey]

7. I think it's completely different

(And, yeah, I meant Wheel of Fortune. )

[LisaM]

10. Ah!

There were a few changes at the Jeopardy opening, but Wheel sounded goofy.

[Shermann]

13. I believe it's an older theme that they refreshed nt

[Rorey]

14. Y'know, I think you may be right

Thanks!

26. Not liking the Wheel set either.

The middle contestant gets lost amidst the colorful background. Those on either end fare better.
