Set up

Alex Davis is a big fan of Steve Harvey and Family Feud. So the show sent him a few shots of their updated set for the new season this fall. He's posted them at BuzzerBlog if you want to take a peek. There's a logo on the floor and some new scenery around here and there. Things look nice and glossy. It's a "shiny floor" show, after all, as GSN execs might say.

I've never cared much one way or the other about most game show sets. I was a big fan of Cash Cab, and that show's set was the inside of a taxi (with some cheesy lights in the roof). As long as a set isn't aggressively ugly or distracting, it's fine with me.

GSN's ancient quizzer Inquizition had the most minimalist set I can remember. Four podiums, a chair, and some miscellaneous background that looked like the interior of a prison cell. Some Internet shows get even cheaper and more generic with their sets. Doesn't bother me as long as the game is worth watching.
