Thank you, Wayoshi!  I'm not too fond of the colors they used on the 1/2 Off wall.  If they're going to use those starburst things, they should pop out a little more because you can't see them all that well.  I feel like both the tag and the starbursts need some kind of drop-shadow (a-la the logos on the Big Doors), but it doesn't need to be too flashy.  A simple drop-shadow would do. 

The ME update, on the other hand, is pretty nice.  I passed judgment on it earlier, but I have to say that it does look good after being able to study it for more than a split second.

I agree, after seeing the ME set again it looks sensational.   I particularly love the yellow numbers.

The ME set was probably redone for HD. Too bad they couldn't have maintained elements of the old props, but I like! Wasn't it the early 80s when those old props first debuted?

Anyhow, TODAY'S SHOW IS THE PRICE IS RIGHT WE ALL LOVED AND GREW UP WITH(From the Johnny and Rod era imho)

What can I say? 6 for 6? I really thought it would never happen again.

Eh, kind of expected a DOB in the showcase with 4 cars being offered, but it didn't really matter by that point

10 for 10.

NOTE TO KATHY AND CREW: PLEASE PRODUCE MORE SHOWS LIKE THIS IN THE FUTURE

You know, after seeing the new Most Expensive set, I wonder if the staff had thought a long time ago to change Most Expensive's set and tried different ways (the red and yellow things and the asterisks) to make it look better and just gave up and decided the only way to make it look better would be to re-design it.

I like the new Most Expensive set.  I don't LOVE it, but I like it.  I would have picked a slightly different color scheme, but I do love the fact the game actually has a logo now.  The shape of said logo reminds me of the Family Feud oval. :-D

The actual retail price is...

When I saw the new Most Expensive set, my first words were, "What the hell did they do to Most Expensive?!" The new set is kind of a blend of the 70s set and the 90s set, but without the neon. I think that the set looks great. FINALLY! Most Expensive gets their own logo.

Great show overall. I HATE Double Overbids. They always ruin the show.

I try not to judge shows by wins, but wow! What a show!!!!  :hammer:

The only thing I don’t really like about ½ Off’s new wall is that the seam is really obvious now. Other than that, me likey!

I like how Most Expensive’s new set doesn’t use a pastel color scheme.

It was good to see both fee games set-up fairly.

I like how Drew pointed out it was a perfect show.

4 cars in the showcases??? VERY NICE!!!!  :-D

The new Half Off wall reminds me of '84 Scrabble.

I was thinking that myself.

A PERFECT SHOW!!!  I still can't believe it.  I never thought we'd see one of these again, and it was freaking awesome.

Really, the show in general was fantastic.  The double overbid at the end was disappointing, but it couldn't kill the great sense of fun that was running through the entire hour.  One Away especially was really exciting...I didn't think there was any way it was going to be won, and seeing that 3 was the greatest moment of the whole show.

I'm not crazy about the new wall in 1/2 Off.  I guess it fits with the wall behind the boxes, but it looks like Bente took some more of whatever she was high on when she redesigned Punch a Bunch.

On the other hand, Most Expensive -- or Most Expen$ive, I guess -- looks pretty good.  It's different, but it's good.  It's neat that it finally has a logo after all these decades, too.

The Showcase was a neat idea...I never expected they'd put two cars in both showcases.  Too bad neither of them was won.

Great show today.

*1/2 Off: The new walls are okay but it makes the middle more obvious. $10,000 win!!

*Any Number: Great win... always love it when it's down to the wire.

*Most Expensive: Wow! At first I thought this was the debut of a new game. The new set looks really good imo.

*Pick-A-Pair: Pretty easy setup.

*Side by Side: This was SCREAMING to be won.

*One Away: Another great win.

*Showcases: 2 cars for each showcase? Awesome. Too bad though that both couples overbid.


Drew's Hosting: 9.0

Pricing Game lineup: 8.5

Pricing Game Wins: 10 (6/6)

Prizes/Showcases: 9.0

Tilt: 9.0 [First perfect day of the season! Drew was great and it was nice to see Most Expensive's new set. Double overbid did ruin things a bit though and I had a feeling that it would happen after Drew said a few times something along the lines of, "A perfect show!... Well, unless the showcases won't be won."]



Final Score for Today's Episode: 9 out of 10

I wonder how long the floor decal will last, before they decide it's too much hassle and just put the logo on those two backdrops....

Like the Price logo on the camera pedestal in the audience, the logo is likely a carpet. No way in heck they'd make that a decal.

What is there to say that hasn't been said? This show was just plain awesome. DiPirro stuns us with the graphics yet again, the new Half Off wall looks great, and the new Most Expensive set looks AMAZING. All the energy running though this show made it tons of fun to watch!

(Oh, and Side By Side was RIDICULOUSLY easy. A $6000 difference is prices?)

I like the new 1/2 off wall but I disagree with everyone about the Most Expensive set.  I think it's too retro looking and could use some scaling down personally.  Maybe I'm just too used to the previous set though and I'll grow onto this one at some point.

Another perfect show ruined by a Double-Overbid...  :evil:

On the other hand, two thumbs up to the new Most Expensive setup. While I miss those old number stands, the redesigned game is a total winner. Retro-looking, yet very contemporary...I love it! And best of all, it has a great-looking logo to compliment the set.

Wow, best theme show ever. It felt like a normal show with a couples theme, very nice gameplay, and the DOB didn't dampen things all that much. Just can't believe today came together to be as great a show as it was.

Oh, and the new Most Expensive look is pretty sweet.

Total time:
1/2 Off (5.5) - 4:47
Any Number (5)- 4:26
Most Expensive (3.5) - 3:41
Pick A Pair (4.5) - 4:02
Side By Side (3.5) - 2:35
One Away (5) - 4:47
Total (27): 24:18
