The set design is a very important part of the game show puzzle. I don't think it is the most important part, I think the most important part is the game. But certainly the look and the feel of the show, which extends beyond the set, to the music and to the graphics is very important, particularly today to an audience that has perhaps a shorter attention span and certainly many more choices of shows to watch on television. So if you are flipping around and you see a game show that has a very rich look to it and it catches your eye that's a show that will probably be successful. So, set design is an important part.
