Zachary was wearing a shirt saying – “Don’t make the same mistake Bob did, PICK ME, pick me, pick me, pick me”, which led to a bit of pretty humorous banter before the car reveal between Drew claiming that Bob has never made a mistake (which we all know is wrong) and George claiming that Rod Roddy has never made a mistake either, culminating in George making a Rod impersonation and intentionally stumbling while doing so.

I hope I wasn't the only one expecting to see a VW Golf at the end of SC1. It would've made such a nice fit.

It was really nice to see a perfect show so soon after the last one, especially with that Swticheroo and Pass the Buck win. It's episodes like these that make the show that much more enjoyable for me to watch.

[TinoStar11]

Great show with a good game lineup.
4th perfect show this season, don't know when there's been that many in a season.

[DYC]

Wow- a Perfect Show involving Switcheroo, Pass the Buck *and* Danger Price? Impressive!

Golden Road family, have we ever considered substituting the phrase "Perfect Show" for "6 for 6", since that seems to be Drew's defining phrase for such an event?

Yeah, me neither. Great Perfect Show!

[mechamind]

Four perfect shows in one season, yet early on in the Mike Richards era it was difficult to get just one, not to mention all the skunkings. I think we're out of the rough for real now, and it's only going to get better.

Golden Road family, have we ever considered substituting the phrase "Perfect Show" for "6 for 6", since that seems to be Drew's defining phrase for such an event?

I don't mind the term, especially when we have shows like today where contestants had imperfect-yet-successful play of both Switcheroo and Pass the Buck. No need to harp on it too much.

[SteveGavazzi]

I think we're out of the rough for real now

It's good to see some other people starting to figure this out.  The show today is much more like it was 10 years ago than like it was five years ago.  This episode in particular would fit in easily with shows from the Barker days.

Speaking of Bob, the whole exchange about Zachary's shirt before Switcheroo was hilarious.

Golden Road family, have we ever considered substituting the phrase "Perfect Show" for "6 for 6", since that seems to be Drew's defining phrase for such an event?

I think it's just something Drew says for folks who may not recognize what a perfect show is. Bob would usually mention that it was winning all the games, but I'm fine with Drew just saying "6 for 6". I'm very pleased that he knows what's going on and is mentioning it in the first place. Also, for what it's worth, the show's official Twitter (and thus I'd assume Facebook) called it a perfect show.

I was actually kind of hoping that when they posted their links to today's episode on CBS.com that they used a picture of Terrence at Safe Crackers with the caption "Can Terrence "unlock" a perfect show? Come watch!" Oh well.

Fun lineup, great wins. It's amazing the turnaround this show has had in the last five years. To go on such a dry spell of perfection to get to four in one season and it's only April? That's just fantastic. I enjoyed watching the show when I started watching again in 2010, but I like it even more now.
