The document discusses the game show "Countdown" and analyzes its gratifications for audiences and production techniques. It notes that Countdown is interesting because it relies on puzzle solving skills rather than luck. It also allows viewers to play along by showing the anagrams on screen. From a production standpoint, tension is created through shots of contestants intensely working during time limits and a jingle that builds to a climax during countdowns. Consistent blue and white colors are used to make the show more memorable for audiences.
