Peeved at the wheel

An emphatic comment on the GSN General board rips the good-old-days folks who grump about the current Wheel of Fortune. The GSN boards attract a lot of nostalgia mavens who find little or nothing good in game shows produced after 4 B.C. (slight exaggeration).

I'm generally with the anti-nostalgia poster on this one. I like the current Wheel with its quicker pace and more puzzles. If the idea is play a game, why not play more games at a sharper gallop? I do disagree with the poster when he slams the tossups. Those quickies contribute to the pace and get more puzzles into the show. The lack of returning champions, another of his gripes, means nothing to me.

As for his fond memories of Chuck and Susan, sorry, but I have to confess that I can barely remember them. Nothing against their predecessors, but "Pat and Vanna" have pretty much gone into the language as a synonym for the show, and deservedly so in my opinion.
