Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Jaka to melodia? (What's that melody?), the Polish version of the show, debuted in 1997 and still is one of - if not the - most popular game shows in the country.
Jane Krakowski has received mixed reviews, arguing that she comes off as flat and reading off the teleprompter rather than actually showing energy and her personality.
Retroactive Recognition: Singing on the Tom Kennedy version was a then-unknown Kathie Lee Gifford (then Johnson).
They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: In 1978, during the disco craze, the show decided to adapt to the times, with a new set, a second group named Dan Sawyer and The Sound Machine, new vocalists (Kathie Lee had left at this point), and replacing Tommy Oliver with Stan Worth. Unfortunately, they also decided to cheapen the show (though not at first). Ditching the Mystery Tune, turning the Golden Medley into the Golden Medley Showdown (adapting a tournament format used for Mystery Tune losers the previous season), and for the final season, lowering the non-tournament budget from $15,000-$20,000 to $6,000-$7,000 (the most jarring example being replacing the CAR space on the Melody Roulette wheel with a lesser prize package). NTT lasted three more years, but some would say it wasn't as good as the Mystery Tune days.
This would also apply to the Lange version, produced by Sandy Frank himself. While the Golden Medley returned to its 7-in-30sec format, with monthly tournaments held for those who got the 7, the overall budget remained on par with the later Kennedy years; the $100,000 prize was a prize package including $10,000 cash and a Pontiac Fiero. The potential Melody Roulette top prize, previously $6,000 (or $4,000 & a car/prize package) decreased to $4,000 (or $2,000 when it adapted a one-spin format midway through the season). Finally, each GM tune paid $250 in prizes instead of $500, and all 7 won a vacation instead of a car.
