MARGINAL MISCELLANI
Set design changes over the years: Through the 80's, DD kept the same basic set while in Philadelphia. The only big change involved the background behind Marc. Originally a colored screen, it was eventually changed to tiled glass. When DD moved to Orlando, a couple of steps were added in between the stunt area and the podiums. To accompany the enlarged playing area, a DD logo was placed in the center. Super Sloppy DD slightly changed the set as well. The wall panels where Robin and Dave came out were changed to several different sized patterns, and the bigger one no longer turned. But perhaps the biggest change occurred with the FOX FDD version. Different designs were painted over old ones, and the lights were dimmed.
