I know it's been tradition for quite a while now for the top center number to be the same as the season number.
This worked for season 35, since it appeared to be a reasonable choice, and worked again in seasons 40, 45 and 50. I think trying to keep it up all the time is a bit much for an inside joke.
It would be nice if once in a while they played Money Game on the stage again instead of always at the turntable.
What would be even nicer would be a return of the nifty car reveal shot Breslow used to use in this game, with a long shot of Door #3 with Barker and the contestant at the left edge beside the Giant Price Tag as the door opened. Rich DiPirro briefly revived it in One Away, and it was delightful.
The only other name I could think of for it is "Front and Back". Not too snazzy, huh?
Snazzier than Money Game. I'd take it (and if that had been the game's name, we would have been spared the awkwardness of the Big Money Game format).
If they do digitize, I hope it's just with the car and money graphics. The game becomes considerably less interesting if they stop having Drew pull up the card with the numbers for the reveal and it just becomes him tapping the screen IMO.
Agreed. Not sure where there would be any benefit to digitizing the game (Are art cards really that bad?). It was always nice when Barker would sneak up on a do-or-die last pick by pulling the card slowly, which is an opportunity for suspense and genuine excitement you'd kill if you went digital with the game.
