Most Expensive: When I saw the three clocks, I wasn’t sure what to think in terms of gameplay.  I was thinking that all three prizes were the same price and since the clocks the contestant didn’t pick weren’t the most expensive, she must win.  Fortunately, it was still normal gameplay.

Speaking of which, after thinking about it for a while, i'm honestly surprised ME was won. I mean those clocks are random and their prices can be sky high. To me, personally, any of the 3 could have been the most expensive.

With 3 cars you can at least have a good estimation of which one is most expensive, with those clocks? Welll...good luck on that.

Again, both by what was said and look, clock #2 was a clear choice. I just can't believe it was hard.
S5x... the show's stabilized into something decent now, I guess...

To add to that, Drew even said, "The clock with all the fancy stuff on it" or something to that nature.

He did.

If they decide to mess around with pricing games... my advice: Get Rockapella to do their countdown music from Carmen Sandiego's bonus round. (youtube search: "carmen sandiego bonus round" if you want to hear it.) That'd be cool!  :-D

It'would but Sean Altman isn't a member anymore, so I don't think it would sound as good w/o him

Finally got around to viewing this episode.  This was absolutely wonderful to watch.  The only thing that I didn't like, which seems to be consensus here, is that the Groucho nose/glasses kinda got old after a while.  But everything else was fun to see (and hear, with the uses of the Match Game think cue and theme at the end).  Multiple cameos by Kathy Kinney as Mimi modeling were fun as well.  The best part, as has been said already, is that Drew didn't dwell on the April Fools antics and the shenanigans did not disrupt the game play at all.  A truly inspired show that everyone involved deserves accolades for--this was a well-done themed show.

Many aspects of this episode made me think of the annual "What's Wrong With This Episode" show they used to do on The Drew Carey Show. I think it would be cool to have a TPiR episode with a similar viewer contest component.  Have them put intentional mistakes into a show and let viewers write in identifying the mistakes for a chance at a prize.  Then, they could rerun the show in summertime pointing out all the mistakes.  This would only work if implemented similarly to how this April Fools episode was handled (i.e.: inserting mistakes without disrupting the gameplay and other core elements of the show).  If advertised well by CBS, it could become a fun annual tradition for the show that might bring in viewers.  Just an idea...

I wonder which G-R.net member would win that contest!

Don't we already point out all the mistakes everyday in this part of the forum anyway?  So the only difference is we now would win prizes.

The problem is, with this crew, we'd miss the "intended" mistakes and would point out things like, "They played the wrong music cue when they revealed the car", or "Plinko and Grand Game are never played in the same show as Double Prices when the tape date is on a Monday", or "The 'Let 'em Roll' dice were fuzzier than usual"!!

I'm in the process of watching this show for the second time in as many days after learning of it.  I gotta say that was the weirdest episode of The Price is Right I've ever seen in my life!  That being said, it was also the funniest episode of The Price is Right I've ever seen in my life!  I loved that episode and some of what I've been able to catch lately makes me think Drew is really finally coming into his own as the new host of the show.  I enjoyed that and look forward to what's coming up with the show.

I'll admit, this episode was definitely one of the main highlights of this season. I'm kind of glad CBS chose to rerun this one today.

I didn't catch the full replay. Did Mimi call Drew a pig for old times' sake?

Unfortunately, no. She was mic'd, but said little to nothing the whole show.
