Supermarket Sweep (1965)
I remember it as well
Enjoyed Blanche's fond recollections. It's funny how a little thing like that can bring back such wonderful memories. The "go for the meat" comment made me laugh because that was the best way to win. I didn't realize it at the time but the shows were taped at the Food Fair chain of supermarkets. We had one just a few miles away from where we were living at the time. I'd give anything to relive just one day back then so I could fully appreciate the joy of being a child in a wonderful time. Have always had this thing about supermarkets, even as a toddler. Seem to recall that the contestants were timed and had to grab as many items as possible and the person with the most value in her cart would be the winner. Fun show.
Spin the Wheel (2019)
Great concept, BUT...
WHY in the world does a GAME SHOW need promos for what is "coming up"???
It's a freaking GAME SHOW! Why would I want to have ANY IDEA what is going to happen later in the program? Deal or no Deal started doing this and it helped to kill the show. And what is with the slo-mo replay of a contestant urging on the wheel? I stopped watching "The Wall" because of this nonsense. I agree with many other reviewers that the end segment is hokey. The show is fine without the overproduction. Only game change I would make is to allow the contestant to actually spin the wheel or push a button/pull a plunger so they have some control. The touching of the wheel to make it go is suspect.
