It's okay, at least it's better than some of the trash these days, 20 February 2008

Merv griffin is an artist in gameshow creating. he's pumped out greats like wheel of fortune and jeopardy that have just kept going and going and they continue to go. however, crosswords is different. it has no good twists in it. but before I tell you those twists, it's best you know the whole idea of the game.

The object of the game is to be the player who has the most cash in the end. how to get cash? you have to do the crossword puzzle. the host gives a hint out, and the first contestant (or spoiler, See paragraph below) to ring in will have a chance to say the word. this goes on throughout 3 rounds. whoever has the most money at the end of the game goes onto the bonus round for an extra 5 grand (yippee) and a trip to some fancy place. the whole idea is to finish the crossword puzzle.

As mentioned above, there are also 3 extra contestants called spoilers who enter in the 2nd round. they want to take over the podiums so they have a chance at winning. they can do that in several ways.

There is also something called the "Crossword extra" which is like a daily double from jeopardy. the contestant that answered correctly last will be the only person who's allowed to answer. they also have to set a wager not to exceed the total they have, and if it's below the round minimum (Round 1 = $500, Round 2 = $1,000, Round 3 = $2,000) they can wager up to that amount.

As much as I hate to admit it, this show does have it's negative points, but at least it's better than some of the trash on these days. like the moment of truth. yeah, that show is horrible.

This show is a mix of positives and Negatives. Watch it once, and see what you think.

This is a nice game show. I don't like all these newer game shows that try to ADD excitement and suspense. That new Million Dollar Password, for example, has too much red in it!! And there is all these dumb reality shows. And with revivals, such as Pyramid, they just don't get things right. They don't do anything that they did before that was interesting, and they add other things that just don't work out... If you try to revive a game show, make sure you make it reflect off the best versions. Like I said in Million Dollar Password review, A Joker's Wild revival should reflect 1980s version, which includes set design and everything. Same thing with early 90s TTTT, which also matched the Jeopardy! set at the time (both had flashing large letters of the game show title) This is a wonderful new game show. It is just as good as Wheel Of Fortune & Jeopardy!, which are two daytime game shows. I hope this one lasts a while, but it needs to upgrade some things... Their grand prize is 5K. Big deal compared to other game shows. And other prizes are trips to some place. Where is the studio audience?? But as far as the set is concerned, it is very modern and nice looking. They also take advantage of today's technologies and use a giant screen to display the crosswords. I am not sure how "Now You See It" or even "Scrabble" managed back then, before giant screens were common.
