GodfreyGR 652 Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 Just saw pics of the new Wheel of Fortune set on my Twitter feed... I get with having your first new host in decades, you usually want to go with a redesign, but this just feels devoid, cold, and cheap. 1 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanSolo 159 Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 Nearly anything would be an improvement over the pimping out of the set and the tacky theme week gimmicks. 1 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5575 Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 Man, my initial screenshots sure are making the rounds. I've seen other clips and leaks from some theme/holiday weeks, and some added props and pieces definitely balance out the space better. This should look fantastic for CWOF. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfomspphl 490 Posted September 1, 2024 Share Posted September 1, 2024 Overkill on the wheel motif. The wheel itself should be the focal wheel on the set. Has those creepy vibes of the overuse of the eye on CBS sets. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1232 Posted September 2, 2024 Share Posted September 2, 2024 It gives me hardcore sailor vibes with those giant wheels 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathannah 2428 Posted September 2, 2024 Share Posted September 2, 2024 Feels very empty and vacant...not something that makes a good first impression when all the prizes aren't on-set and break up the blank clutter. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they might be going for a classic game show vibe with this art deco or streamline moderne aesthetic. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299957 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading yesterday that the gold trimming around the puzzle board is supposed to be a nod to the puzzle board from the 80’s to the 90’s. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3948 Posted September 2, 2024 Share Posted September 2, 2024 Merv Griffin must be "spinning" the wheel right now. Perhaps Kramer will find the set in the dumpster and host the show in his apartment! 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21530-new-wheel-set/#findComment-299965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC 7 Denver 1714 Posted September 2, 2024 Share Posted September 2, 2024 Feels very much like the KMGH set, tbh. Few architectural elements. Just big lit scrims in the back.

Oh, I see. The area of the new set where the double doors are located, which Ryan and Vanna walk through at the start of the broadcasts, somewhat looks like an awards show set to me. Lol. By and large, I am lukewarm to the new set but perhaps I will warm up to it over time though.
