Nope, you're not.

They changed them to something much more readable a few episodes after this one; check the graphics on the $36K win episode to see what I mean.

I liked the second format of TJW '90 better than the first. However, the dollar bills that were used on the first version could have been used for a "Face the Devil" game for the bonus round.

Am I the only one who thinks those graphics -- on the wheels -- are VERY, maybe even TOO hard to read?

This is better, this is better. When you produce a revival of a classic game show you want to keep it close to the classic version & not deviate too much away from it. WHile they are still in the defanition format, nothing is at a total loss here since we have catagories. It seems that this was enacted to please those who were fans of the original Joker's Wild; I say it was too little too late as the show was cacelled a year after the premire. Good game so far though.

Isn't Finn Robotic, Don't Ya Think?

Ya know, you can't really blame Pat Finn. Look at who he had to follow. Allen Ludden hosted a pilot in 1969, Jack Barry hosted it for on and off 12 years and Bill Cullen (the dean of game shows!) hosted it for 2 years.
