That's Too Much!: Retire this game. 

Granted, the constant evil setups week after week get really annoying really fast, I wouldn't necessarily be asking for its retirement.

This game only needs a welcome break for a while.

The cell phone bit was downright unnecessary. It looks like Rachel even forgot or was unaware that the bit was supposed to happen.

Chad was the reason that this is the first episode I have ever stopped watching without finishing.

'Nuff said.
I'll put this in here, but I didn't want it to overshadow the more interesting topic of specials. Earlier in the show Mike and Beth talked about Jenny McCarthy's appointment to The View and it leads to Mike talking about her appearance on Price. Mike says that he and the staff mulled over whether or not to have her on the show because of the controversy that follows her. They ultimately decided to have her because she's "a great advocate for what she believes in." Now, Mike didn't specify exactly what he meant by "what she believes in" and what "belief" of her's that he's addressing, but that could certainly be taken the wrong way.

Makes me wonder how much caffeine Chad consumed that day.

Poor Peggy (Squeeze Play) is stuck one year in the future, I'm afraid. :lol:

Chad was the reason the show was above-average today.  Gameplay and setups were mediocre and the cell phone bit was forced and ill-timed.  Really, Chad even got his own theme music at the end.  The guy was a riot.  And Drew played off his excitement very well before his pricing game.

I only saw him in the showcases, or I might have done the same. Just way too much of a "hey, look at me" character that needed to be reeled in a bit. I'm all for hyper, excited contestants, but there's a point where it becomes "showoffish" and that makes me "turn offish" toward the show. His excited was my annoying. I believe that's two of those contestants in the last three or four shows. I can remember seeing about 3 or 4 in 6 months' time in years past.

We really fell back down to earth after the fairly good show yesterday.

I hate to burst your bubble (had to say it: avatar joke!  :oldlol:), but some of us really like the game!

Who cares what scent dog shampoo is?

You obviously don't have a dog. :)

More Or Less:  This should've been won.  All 4 prizes were easy.  There's no excuse for saying more on the Mini Cooper! >:(
I disagree.  I thought for sure myself it was going to be more and it seemed like it could easily be $21-$22,000.

Christine, who got so hyped and into the spirit of More or Sell, and was really enjoyable to watch, and hard to see her lose.  I thought she had the car, myselff.  I'd have gone more as well.

I thought it was going to be yet another skunking, but luckily Bullseye saved us!

As a person who likes to catch the little things on the show, did anyone else notice in 1/2 Off the stand that is rolled out with the contestant's box choice was spinning around after the $10,000 sign was pulled apart?  It looked like it was placed right up against the sign, and almost was taken away with it.

That's Too Hard just simply needs to go away for a while, til next season at least.

MOL had a very easy setup for the first three items, but the car was very difficult.
I believe that they should put TTM on Hiatus and bring back dice game personally.

And when was the last time a music cue other than the theme song ended the show?

That's Too Much!: Retire this game. 

I don't think that's a good idea saying that considering what we've seen this year in regards to certain games being a) put on hiatus) b) just not being played at all. You may not like the game but it's not a reason to call for its retirement.
