This had got to be one of the best game show of all time and is certainly the most popular. I think the prizes have gotten better, and I love the recent addition of the "prize puzzles." Though I miss some of the old categories such as slang and megaword, the newer cateogories like fun & games and best seller work just as well. I have gotten very good at solving the puzzles at home, sometimes even immediately. I also miss some of their old prizes, such as the surprise and double play. I think this show will go down as a game show classic. Pat Sajak is a terrific host, and occasionally the show is good if only to see what Vanna White is wearing. They come up with very creative puzzles for the before & after category. I hope to appear on the show one day.
