Surprised noone has made a thread yet since it premiered two days ago. So far I'm not a fan. Keke Palmer is way too loud and abrassive as host and Jimmy Fallon is just doing his usual "laugh at my own jokes" schtick from SNL. Also Alphabet--oh wait I'm sorry, "Bonus Game" is played for a bargain basement 25k payout, arguably the lowest prize since the ABC years after inflation. When Super Password had the potential to, and indeed did, give away twice as much as that over 30 years ago, it really cheapens the show.
But the set (an update of the old Ludden CBS one, including a remix of Swing Band!) is quite attractive so I guess there's that. Shrug.

I'm enjoying this version, and while I understand Jimmy had a large part in reviving the show, it really isn't necessary to have him on every single episode. If there's a second season, I hope we get two different celebs for each game.

They gave it away twice in fact, but only once did they have to shell out the $
