I've just watched this show and have to agree with the sentiment that it was underwhelming.
I was quite happy to see Back to 72 played and won and having a 1972 car be the prize was a nice touch .
On the other hand, I was legitimately disappointed not to have Any Number be that last game. That's Too Much felt like an underwhelming choice in that spot. I think my disappointment stems from not understanding what this show was intended to be. It was a season finale/celebration. I thought it was going to be a 50th anniversary special. Even within the context of what it turned out to be That's Too Much felt like an underwhelming choice in that spot.
Welcome to the fold, To the Penny, here's hoping for many more for you.
Let's now observe a moment of silence in the loving memory of Back to 72.
R.I.P. Back to 72.

Adjustments that should be made to pricing games to make them fairer: Secret X: Add a 3rd SP so that perfect pricing ensures a win. 1/2 Off: Add a 4th set of SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Master Key: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win. Rat Race: Add 2 more SPs so that perfect pricing ensures a win.
The following pricing games should be retired because there's no way or no easy way to make them fair: Spelling Bee, Plinko, Punch a Bunch, Pass the Buck, Let em Roll, 3 Strikes.
The following retired pricing games should be revived: $uper $aver, Give or Keep, Buy or Sell, Hurdles, Bump, Penny Ante, Credit Card, On the Spot, Split Decision, Add em Up, Walk of Fame, Barker's Markers, Magic Number.
