Pricing games for 2009
« on: June 11, 2018, 12:37:16 AM »
I have been doing some research on the debuts of pricing games, and I have noticed that at least one pricing game was released every year, until 2009, then 2011 after that. I was just wondering if anyone knew the reason why.

Live for the present.  Embrace the future.  Our favorite game show is still producing excellent, high quality, exciting, hour-long* shows every weekday throughout its traditional season window.  It’s as good as it’s been in a long, long time.  If the 1980s were the ‘good ole days’ for the Barker era, so is RIGHT NOW for the Carey era.  Don’t worry about what the future holds.  It will play out in due time.  Enjoy what we have right in front of us in the meantime!

Hi, you should probably look at it on a season basis vs. calendar year basis since that is how the show is planned out.  For example, Season 36 (07/08) didn't have any new games because it was Drew's first season and the producers felt he had to learn all the current games first.

Oh, I see. So it's not necessarily one calendar year because one year includes a part of one season and a part of the next season. I hadn't even thought of it like that. Thanks a lot!

A typical 'broadcast season' is September through May with repeats around Christmas/New Year when sports take over daytime.

No, it isn't.

Seasons typically run from late September through late June, often with a few additional episodes scattered throughout the summer.  The show generally goes into reruns for a week and a half starting on Thanksgiving, with the exception of Cyber Monday, and for most of the first week of March Madness.

That's true for TPIR, but a typical "network" broadcast season is September through May. OP should have clarified that.

That's true for TPIR,

Which is what we're talking about, so why are you adding a "but?"
