@SayingSorry Pretty sure Check Game is getting a face-lift and coming back. Credit Card... probably not.

Probably too many prizes for their taste, and maybe the Internet is aging the prop?

I dunno, I won't miss it THAT much but it would have been nice to keep the unique 5-prizer.

Once again, they'll retire a game which has nothing wrong.

I think that they should keep only Double Prices, Pick-a-Number, Squeeze Play, One Right Price and Most Expensive. That would not cost much, after all...

The Internet is aging the prop?  ATMs still exist.  Could've just slapped a plasma screen on it and called it a day.  Credit Card was awesome!

Well, so much for "We're refurbishing the prop for HD" story.  Now, friends, we have tangible evidence that they've been misleading us (not G-R specifically but the viewing public) on this.  We can now officially start questioning their word about everything else they've told us.  And for those things that they HAVE told us, we can start to wonder what they have NOT told us.

In the day and age of the slamma-quickie...the 5.5 Credit Card just had no more use by the current lineup writing staff.

Besides...they had to make room for Mice Game and Roshambo!

I kind of liked Credit Card, and I didn't see anything wrong with the game that warranted its' retirement. This just further shows that the current powers that be don't have any idea what the heck they're doing.

[PriceRox]

Stupid.

[FrenchFan]

Stupid.

Again.

That they have Hitler's Brain, and it is in charge of The Price Is Right!

Uhh...no.

In this instance, we have tangible evidence only that they said one thing and did another.  There is no tangible evidence that they intentionally misled anyone, since it's just as possible that they intended to refurb the game and after saying so, further discussions to which we weren't privy led them to change their mind.

This is hardly evidence of some dark conceit.

I liked Credit Card, it was different. Shame to see it go if it does.

@Promoman:  I didn't say they intentionally mislead us, just that they mislead us.  I probably should've chosen different phrasing, but my meaning was as you said that they said one thing, and then did another.  (I wasn't trying to imply a dark conspiracy, it's entirely possible that they simply had a change in plans).  My point is still valid though, take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Even so, when has this NOT been the case?  Even Barker didn't always give the real story about certain things he didn't want disclosed.  So why are we suddenly acting as if only NOW should we begin to question what they tell us?

I don't disagree that there could easily be instances in which we might get incomplete info or info that is subject to change; I just don't really see what's different now versus what's been going on the past few years, particularly since Roger left.

The thing is, "they" don't owe "us" any explanations or behind the scenes info.

Whatever they decide to put out is, of course, going to be spun and filtered through whatever vision they or their corporate parents want to provide.
