"Not a fan..."
"I don't like the background color," a Wheel watcher tweeted, "and I think the show should be an hour and on the 2nd 1/2 its old school where you go shopping if you win...that's how it was back 39 years ago...I was 20 years old and I started watching the show when it aired."
"Love the new set..."
"Love the new set although a tad bit bland and mono," someone offered. Definitely hate the new music."
"Let's have the bridge..."
"I love 'Changing Keys,' but not just the first eight bars over and over," noted a fan with a musical ear. "There's a bridge, too. Let's have the bridge, please. It needs it."
"...A Bit More Melodic."
"Please go back [to] the drawing board on the new soundtrack," a viewer commented. "Listening to that for the next 30 years would be maddening. How about a bit more melodic. It's boring, grating. I know you wouldn't want me to lie."
"...Watchable Again!"
"Oh, and wait... what is that I hear? Actual updated classic "Wheel Of Fortune" theme music? Be careful! You're starting to make this show watchable again!" exclaimed a fan.
"...Lovely Tropical Shots..."
"What happened to all your lovely tropical shots in the background and set decorations?" someone asked.
"...Subtle Changes..."
"I liked the subtle changes, but I had also been fond of sets with little houses, beach themes and cityscapes," a Twitter user wrote.
