In addition to the primetime episode coming next week, CBS has announced 3 more TPiR primetime specials in January, all on Wednesdays. Details here:

I'm excited about all of these!!! I have no doubt they will do well in ratings and that CBS will order more as Season 49 continues!!!! My question is are the Million Dollar Spectaculars ever going to return or are they gone forever? After all, two primetime versions of Price could work if CBS aired them in moderation.

^Really doubt the Million Dollar Spectaculars are ever returning. It's been over 10 years since the last one.

So we're going back to the celebrity guest playing along with contestants for their charity format in January. I really enjoyed not having a celebrity on the first special last month, but still great to see more primetime Price.

I take that to mean they realized the all celebrity concept just doesn't work for Price, it's contestant driven, not celebrity driven, let alone using all one show to do it. I bet they never do it again, which I think is a smart idea. It doesn't translate well to it like other shows.

I wouldn’t read that much into it. Just because they’re using the format of celebrities plus contestants doesn’t equal some belief that it didn’t work. Maybe they don’t have a cast available right now. Maybe they just don’t want to. There’s nothing more to read into it.

Looking at the listings for this week and I'm not seeing Price is Right on the 6th. Looks like they've scheduled all reruns that night; the other two don't seem to have been affected yet.

My cable provider still has the Price special listed for Wednesday.

Drew should plug a "catch me tomorrow night on another network" during one of the SCSDs for the second special. That said, I'm definitely going to be watching The Goldbergs instead on that other network instead if its indeed a rerun. I find it odd to have a new daytime episode yet a primetime rerun on the same day.

CBS3 in Philly shows on their program listings page the Adam Devine special 1/6, but the local cable guide does not. But both the CBS3 page and cable guide show the Adam Devine listing for 1/13 at 8 pm. Go figure.

[JayC]

My cable provider updated its channel guide and the Price special is no longer listed for tomorrow night, it's reruns as OneBidTris said. Looks like they pushed the specials back a week, whether its program need based or because of anticipated preemption.

I wonder if the Ludacris episode is getting bumped to the 27th or if his episode hasn't been taped yet.

[imhomerjay]

Purely wondering aloud...could the 1/27 episode about which we knew the least have been tied to the Grammy awards in some way on 1/31. With that now postponed, maybe it wouldn't work timing wise? Or it's just coincidence and it's the type of reshuffling to be expected under these unusual circumstances.

If Young Sheldon really is on tonight, I'm watching 3 all new episodes of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?!!!! I can't stand that show!!!

[TPIRFan1995]

I just checked CBS 3's guide and they have The Price Is Right At Night on there. I'm so confused!!!

Young Sheldon is on Thursdays. Today (1-6-21) is a Wednesday. So Young Sheldon would not be on today no matter what.
