More than anything I'm just interested in knowing what made them decide to make this change. People say that the show should evolve and I agree but was there anything wrong with "Name That Tune" besides perhaps having the winner make the list again instead of Kurt Busch? It wasn't that long ago that they decided to boost the songs back up from 14 to 18 (which was still below the old 21.) Now we're suddenly cutting it down to 12? You have to admit, that's at least odd.
I know I'm only speaking for myself when I say this but I loved the games. It was a nice break from the norm. Every day the fifth segment would provide me with a little fun and then to get ready for the weekend "Name That Tune" would provide an extra hour of fun. It was a lock every week that "NTT" would be one of - if not the - funniest segment.
Now it seems like all the games are slowly going by the wayside. It almost feels like they're phasing them all out on purpose. Six games a week has now been cut to three. I can't fathom why they cut "Uncanny Impressions" which still has drops played that came out of it. "Stump the Show" was always great in my book. Bad judges and crappy questions made it that much more entertaining. It might be frustrating for the guys but as a listener it was great for me.
Like I said, I'm absolutely willing to listen to this new version of "NTT" and I'm hoping for the best. But I can't help but still bum a bit when a game gets shortened or goes away even if they say it might come back.
Well Said! :clap:
